International Classification:

G06F 15/173
G06F 12/00

US Classification:

709226, 718105

Abstract:

A method is provided and includes recognizing that a communication is issued to one or more other users on behalf of a first user, checking whether affinity data exists for the first user with respect to the one or more other users, if the affinity data does not exist, handling the communication in accordance with predetermined procedures, generating the non-existing affinity data to be stored for the first user with respect to the one or more other users, analyzing the stored affinity data to determine priorities of the first user with respect to the other users in accordance with a number of times each of the other users is targeted in a communication, and sending the current communication directly to a server, which is identified by the stored affinity data and which is currently associated with the one currently logged on other highest priority user.

US Classification:

709206, 709203, 709204, 709217

Abstract:

A method, system, and computer program product for implementing community messaging services is provided. The method includes calculating a receiver pool for receiving a broadcast message, the receiver pool being a subset of a messaging community. The method also includes transmitting the broadcast message to the receiver pool and tracking any feedback from the receiver pool to determine if a satisfactory response has been received. A satisfactory response results when a response is received that addresses or resolves an issue or question presented in the broadcast message. The method further includes re-calculating the receiver pool to receive the broadcast message if the satisfactory response has not been reached after a specified period of time, the re-calculated receiver pool being a subset of the messaging community that has not yet received the message.

International Classification:

G06F 15/82

US Classification:

709206

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method that includes determining whether a predetermined collaboration client application is available locally at a local client, and using a proxy to integrate the collaboration client application into a web application of a web browser at the local client when the collaboration client application is unavailable locally at the local client, providing real-time presence awareness information of a plurality of users to a first user via the web application at the web browser, receiving, from the first user via the web application, a selection of at least one user of the plurality of users, with whom the first user desires to perform one or more real-time collaboration services, and determining at least one real-time collaboration service that is available via the web browser for use between the first user and the selected user, based at least in part on the real-time presence awareness information of the selected user.

US Classification:

709226, 718105

Abstract:

A method of balancing communication load in a system running a communication application is provided and includes recognizing that a first user logs onto the communication application via a client and that a communication is issued to one or more other users by the client on behalf of the first user, checking whether user-user affinity data exists for the first user, if the user-user affinity data does not exist, managing the communication application to handle the communication in accordance with predetermined load balancing procedures, monitoring subsequent communications, generating the non-existing user-user affinity data for the first user, in response to a current communication, analyzing the stored user-user affinity data to determine affinity priorities of the first user with respect to the other users, and sending the current communication based on a result of the analysis.
