  • Patent number: 9183515
    Abstract: In one aspect, a system for presenting a share box with content information in response to an endorsement includes an endorsement sharing module that is responsive to user input and creates a sharing box having content derived from the user context and input request. The endorsement sharing module receives a user request to share information. In response, this endorsement sharing module determines the context of the user, retrieves content based on the context, filters the content based on publisher information, personalizes the share box content, and adds the content to a share box. The endorsement sharing module also adds one or more actions to the share box after which the share box is provided for display to the user.

  • Patent number: 9087131
    Abstract: A system and method for summarizing a multiuser communication session is disclosed. A processing unit receives data about the multiuser communication session. A session management module manages the multiuser communication session. A feature extraction module extracts features from the data. An analyzing module analyzes the features to identify segments of interest for the multiuser communication session including a beginning and an end of each segment of interest and a list of participants in each segment of interest. A summarizing engine generates a summary for the multiuser communication session including at least one segment of interest.
