20140200948 | DYNAMICALLY ORDERING TASKS IN A TASK LIST BASED ON INDICATIONS OF IMPORTANCE TO THE USER - A method, system and computer program product for dynamically ordering tasks in a task list based on the user's indications of importance. Tasks are ordered in the task list based on identifying “indicators of importance” related to the particular task in question. These “indicators of importance” (e.g., topics, people) are derived from the task (e.g., call Mary Brown) and/or from external sources. A score or value is then assigned to these indicators of importance based on the user's deemed importance to such an indicator of importance, where such deemed importance may be determined by monitoring the user's interactions with data items (e.g., e-mails, reports), such as involving the indicator of importance. A composite score for each task may then be compiled based on the scores assigned to the indicators of importance associated with the task. The tasks will then be ordered based on these composite scores. | 07-17-2014 |

20140201272 | ADJUSTING THE DISPLAY OF SOCIAL MEDIA UPDATES TO VARYING DEGREES OF RICHNESS BASED ON ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND IMPORTANCE OF THE UPDATE - A method, system and computer program product for adjusting a display of social media updates to varying degrees of richness. A level of importance for each social media update is identified and assigned to the update. The importance of the social media update can be defined by various aspects, such as topics or people of interest to the user. Furthermore, a current condition of a user's environment (e.g., current workload of the user) is determined. The social media updates are then displayed in a social networking feed with a particular degree of richness at a particular location based on the level of importance of the social media updates, the current condition of the user's environment, and/or the user's interactions with existing updates currently displayed. In this manner, the amount of time required by the user to determine which updates are important to the user is reduced. | 07-17-2014 |
20140201646 | DYNAMICALLY SELECTING AND ORDERING FACETS AND FACET VALUES IN A USER INTERFACE BASED ON USER PREFERENCE - A method, system and computer program product for dynamically selecting and ordering facets and/or facet values in a user interface. A user's “preference” concerning the selection and ordering of facets and/or facet values that the user desires to be displayed in the user interface is determined. Such user's preference may be determined based on monitoring the actions of the user (e.g., online activity) as well as possibly other types of information, such as the user's input and context of the user's faceted search. Upon determining the user's preference, facets and/or facet values are selected and ordered based on the user's preference and consequently displayed in the user's user interface. In this manner, the user is provided a more relevant and insightful perspective on the data set as the user sees the “best” information more quickly while performing less work to see and apply the facets and/or facet values. | 07-17-2014 |

20140207823 | AUTOMATICALLY GRANTING ACCESS TO CONTENT IN A MICROBLOG - A method, system and computer program product for automatically granting access to content referenced in a microblog. A microblog post having content referenced therein is received by a microblog server. The microblog post includes a special character (e.g., “@”) designating a user, group or community. Furthermore, the microblog post includes a special character (e.g., “!”) designating the content. In response to recognizing the special character designating the content, the microblog server grants access to the designated content to the user, group or community referenced in the microblog post. By including a special character in the microblog post to designate content to be made available to the user, group or community referenced in the microblog post, the user can now designate the content to be made available to the users, groups and/or communities that do not previously have rights to access the content in an easy and efficient manner. | 07-24-2014 |
20140297633 | CALCULATING LISTS OF EVENTS IN ACTIVITY STREAMS - A method for calculating lists of events in activity streams includes calculating a list of activity events for a user's activity stream based on weights assigned to implicit actions and explicit actions; and prioritizing the list of the activity events in the user's activity stream based on the weights. | 10-02-2014 |
20140297634 | CALCULATING LISTS OF EVENTS IN ACTIVITY STREAMS - A method for calculating lists of events in activity streams includes calculating a list of activity events for a user's activity stream based on weights assigned to implicit actions and explicit actions; and prioritizing the list of the activity events in the user's activity stream based on the weights. | 10-02-2014 |
20150052440 | REAL-TIME MANAGEMENT OF PRESENTATION DELIVERY - Managing the delivery of a presentation in real-time includes receiving a presentation including a plurality of slides, wherein each slide of the plurality of slides is allocated an amount of time for display during delivery of the presentation and is associated with a slide subject, determining subjects of interest for an audience of the presentation from a social media website, and correlating, using a processor, the subjects of interest with the plurality of slides of the presentation. A recommendation is generated using the processor. The recommendation specifies a modification to the presentation according to the correlation of subjects of interest with the plurality of slides of the presentation. Further, the recommendation is indicated using a display. | 02-19-2015 |
