Patent number: 11444905Abstract: A tool for predicting communication patterns and availability on one or more computer devices. The tool allocates an incoming mail identification to the incoming mail. The tool determines a location of origin for the incoming mail based, at least in part, on domain information and information from an address book. The tool determines one or more holidays, a day of a week, and a time of day utilizing a sending timestamp from the location of origin. The tool determines a sending tendency for the sender identification. The tool determines a response prediction rate for a per-determined timeframe based, at least in part, on the one or more holidays, the day of the week, the time of day and the sending tendency for the sender identification. The tool displays the response prediction rate and the sending tendency in one or more pop-up dialog windows.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tomoko Murayama, Takuya Ishikawa, Yuji Sugiyama
