  • Control of message transmission
    Patent number: 10803250
    Abstract: A managing computer receives a proposed outgoing message that has been created for proposed transmission to one or more recipients. The managing computer determines a respective tone associated with one or more respective parts of the proposed outgoing message, and determines a probable interpreted tone of the one or more respective parts as perceived by the one or more recipients. In response to determining a difference between the respective tone and the probable interpreted tone for the one or more respective parts of the proposed outgoing message, the managing computer changes the one or more respective parts of the proposed outgoing message in order to create a modified outgoing message, where the probable interpreted tone for the one or more recipients of the modified outgoing message matches a sender-intended tone for the modified outgoing message. The managing computer then transmits the modified outgoing message to the one or more recipients.
