20080281922 | AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF EMAIL PREVIEWS AND SUMMARIES - An incoming electronic communication is broken down into message portions. Features of the message portions are extracted and the message portions are converted into sparse feature vectors. The probabilities of the message portions being of interest of the user are calculated and the message portions are converted back into text. Message portions with a relatively high probability of being of interest to a user are presented to the user as a summary. | 11-13-2008 |
20080281927 | Summarization tool and method for a dialogue sequence - The application discloses embodiments of a summarization tool for a dialogue sequence or message thread. In the embodiments disclosed, the summarization tool utilizes a topic shift component to identify a topic start to define a topic group for the dialogue sequence or message thread. A summary component uses the topic start to generate a summary output for the topic group of the dialogue sequence or message thread. In illustrated embodiments, the summary output includes one or more of a context summary, a thread summary, and scope data or information. | 11-13-2008 |
20080282159 | Summarization of attached, linked or related materials - A summarization system and method. The summarization method includes utilizing a first body of information to obtain a second body of information, which is identified (by a hyperlink, an attachment identifier, a reference, etc.) in the first body of information. A summary of the obtained second body of information is then computed. The computed summary can be displayed to a user and/or stored for later use. | 11-13-2008 |
20090055489 | Electronic mail delay adaptation - A electronic communication system that can detect and adapt to delays in delivery of e-mail messages. The system may adapt to delays by using other mechanisms to convey the information intended for delivery by e-mail. The mechanism may convey the information to the recipient once the delayed electronic mail message is received by the recipient's e-mail system. In this respect, the recipient may make arrangements to receive information in the e-mail message when the recipient expects to be away from his or her e-mail system. Additionally or alternatively, the recipient may choose to initiate out-of-band communication to the sender when the recipient receives an indication of a delayed electronic mail message. | 02-26-2009 |
20090055490 | Electronic mail delay adaptation - A electronic communication system that can detect and adapt to delays in delivery of e-mail messages. The system may adapt to delays by using other mechanisms to convey the information intended for delivery by e-mail. Delays may be detected using a low-latency channel to send notifications of e-mails to recipients. The notifications are likely to be received in advance of a delayed e-mail, allowing an intended e-mail recipient to detect that delivery of an e-mail has been delayed. The recipient may adapt to the delay in delivery, when a notification is received without a corresponding electronic mail message. The notification may be small relative to an e-mail message but may include enough information to allow the recipient to identify the subject matter of the corresponding e-mail message, an importance level of the e-mail message, a preferred mechanism of the sender for out-of-band communications, and/or the location from which the e-mail was sent. | 02-26-2009 |
20090055491 | Electronic mail delay adaption - A electronic communication system that can detect and adapt to delays in delivery of e-mail messages. The system may adapt to delays by using other mechanisms to convey the information intended for delivery by e-mail. Though, other reactions to delays are possible, including rescheduling events premised on delivery of information by e-mail. The system may use a low-latency notification channel in parallel with a channel used for e-mail delivery to detect actual delays for a specific e-mail message. Additionally, the system may detect potential delays based on historical delay information or other information indicating that a path over which an e-mail is to be sent may be experiencing delivery delays and may adapt to a potential delay before a message likely to experience the delay is sent. | 02-26-2009 |
20090055502 | Electronic mail delay adaptation - A electronic communication system that can detect and adapt to delays in delivery of e-mail messages. The system may adapt to delays by using mechanisms other than the initially intended path to convey the information intended for delivery by e-mail. A possible adaptation is reprioritization of an e-mail message that is found to be experiencing a delay. | 02-26-2009 |
20090106687 | DYNAMICALLY UPDATED VIRTUAL LIST VIEW - A virtual list view in a web application is dynamically updated such that a user can seamlessly access and manage the presented data despite the inherent latency involved with the web. Data associated with the virtual list view is downloaded in chunks and the view updated as the user scrolls. By coupling the user's scrolling and particular chunks of data to be downloaded system resources are utilized in an efficient manner. Additional user interface controls for the user interface are employed for rapid and efficient access to portions of data minimizing delay and system resource occupation. | 04-23-2009 |
