Point-in-time actions are leveraged between computers that receive the same asynchronous electronic message. A point-in-time action is performed at a first receiving computer in response to receipt of an asynchronous electronic message. The point-in-time action results in an action alert, which is transmitted to a second receiving computer that also received the asynchronous electronic message.

Chat sessions are managed between at least one sending computer and a receiving computer. A first chat session is initiated by a receiving computer in response to a first request from a first sending computer. A second chat session is initiated by the receiving computer in response to a second request from a second sending computer. The first and second chat sessions are prioritized in accordance with priority parameters to identify a higher priority chat session and a lower priority chat session. The lower priority chat session is restricted until the higher priority chat session is downgraded to a priority level that is below the lower priority chat session.

A computer implemented method manages meeting invitations to sub-invitees. A meeting coordinating computer detects a meeting invitation being sent from a meeting moderator's computer to a primary invitee's computer. The meeting coordinating computer intercepts a response from the primary invitee's computer. This response contains a request for a sub-invitee to accompany the primary invitee to the meeting. If the sub-invitee is initially authorized by the meeting coordinating computer to attend the meeting, then a request is transmitted to the meeting moderator's computer for additional authorization to invite the sub-invitee to the meeting.

Presence messages are managed for one or more members of a pre-defined group of e-mail users. An unavailability time period, during which a pre-defined group of e-mail users will be unavailable in the future, is established. A notice, which notifies the pre-defined group of e-mail users that an unavailability control instruction will be sent in the future to participating members of the group of e-mail users, is transmitted to the group of e-mail users. An acceptance signal, identifying the participating members, is received, indicating which members of the group of e-mail users agree to permit the unavailability control instruction to be received and implemented on their participating computers in the future. The unavailability control instruction is then transmitted to the participating computers at an initiation of the unavailability time period, in order to auto-generate an appropriate presence message for the participating members.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for improved type-ahead functionality in a type-ahead field based on activity of a user within a user interface. The method includes identifying a user activity context including one or more activities of a user within a user interface. Each activity includes an associated recipient identifier. The method includes determining a set of potential recipients based on the user activity context. Each potential recipient corresponds to one or more associated recipient identifiers from the user activity context. The method includes registering the set of potential recipients with one or more type-ahead modules of the user interface. The one or more type-ahead modules suggest one or more recipients from the set of potential recipients to autocomplete a type-ahead field managed by the one or more type-ahead modules.
摘要:
A calendar of a calendar owner can be identified. The calendar can include at least one calendar entry. Each calendar entry can be associated with access restrictions specific to the entry and/or a type associated with the entry. An attempt from a non-owner to access the calendar of the owner can be received. A relationship between the non-owner and the owner can be determined, which is used to grant access privileges. A non-owner can be permitted to access/change the owner's calendar entries based upon comparisons of the granted privileges and the access restrictions. For example, when certain approved people view busy-time scheduled in a user's calendar, any non-important booked time can be shown as time availably for scheduling events with the user. When an approved person schedules a previously book time slot, and an owner agrees to this change, then existing appointments are automatically rescheduled/adjusted to avoid conflicts.
