摘要:
A computing device can receive an incoming message. The incoming message can be one directed to a set of different client machines at approximately the same time. The computing device can perform a mitigation action that alters a presentation characteristic of the audible alert for the incoming message. The mitigation action ensures that the computing device and at least a subset of the other client devices within a predefined audio range of the computing device do not audibly present alerts for the incoming message in an unsynchronized manner.

A method of utilizing electronic communication activity information. The method can include receiving from each of a plurality of electronic communication clients activity information relating to activities of a respective electronic communication recipient accessing information associated with the electronic communication. Based on the received activity information, via a processor, each of the electronic communication recipients can be rated to generate at least one recommendation as to who is able to provide information pertaining to the electronic communication. The recommendation can be communicated to another electronic communication recipient.

A method that includes identifying a first electronic mail (email) addressed to at least two groups of recipients, the first email comprising content. The method further can include communicating the first email comprising the content to a first group of recipients. The method also can include generating a second email different than the first email and not comprising the content, the second email comprising information that indicates a contact that the second group of recipients are to contact regarding subject matter associated with the first email, and communicating the second email to a second group of recipients.

Acclimatizing a user to a scheduling pattern change includes: in a calendar system implemented by at least one processor, determining an anticipated scheduling pattern change for the user; establishing with the calendar system an acclimatization period to transition the user to the scheduling pattern change; receiving in the calendar system a request to schedule an event for the user at a time within the acclimatization period; and prompting the user to reschedule the event to a time outside of the acclimatization period with the calendar system.
摘要:
A trigger can relate to power usage of a computing device that a computer program to be run or running on the computing device causes. Detection of the trigger causes performance of a power-saving action. The power-saving action relates to the computer program to reduce the power usage of the computing device. The power-saving action is a strictly software-oriented action. An amount of power of the computing device used in detecting the trigger and performing the power-saving action is less than a reduction of the power usage of the computing device that results from performing the power-saving action, resulting in a net power usage reduction.

A response event to provide a communication reply can be detected. The reply can be to an email message which is part of an email conversation. The email conversation can include a sequence of zero or more response email messages to an initial email message as well as the initial email message. Attributes of different ones of the email messages can be queried. A quantity N can be determined based on values of the attributes being compared against at least one history criteria. The quantity of N can vary based on the values and the history criteria. A reply history set can be created that includes a set of history segments. Each history segment can correspond to one of the N different ones of the email messages of the email conversation. The reply history set can be incorporated within the communication reply.

A method for predicting battery power usage includes, collecting information relating to battery power consumption due to tasks performed by the physical computing system powered by a battery, and notifying a user in response to a determination that tasks associated with an upcoming event stored in a calendar application of the physical computing system are projected to exhaust the battery. A computing system includes a processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, and a battery to power the computing system. The processor is configured to collect information relating to battery power consumption due to tasks performed by the computing system, and notify a user in response to a determination that tasks associated with an upcoming event stored in a calendar application of the computing system are projected to exhaust the battery.
摘要:
One or more interactions of a user are monitored. Information associated with the one or more interactions is indexed. A point of interested is determined within an electronic mail message based upon, at least in part, the indexed information. An indicator of the point of interest is provided within a preview pane associated with the electronic mail message.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system, and computer program product for managing categorized workgroup print jobs. The method includes receiving from an end user a print job designated for printing in a workgroup printer and categorizing the print job as work related or non-work related. Additionally whether or not printing the print job on behalf of the end user encroaches within a threshold value of a remaining allocation of printing resources established for the end user is determined. Finally, in response to determining both that the print job is within a specific category and also that the printing of the print job on behalf of the end user encroaches within the threshold value of the remaining allocation of printing resources established for the end user, further processing of the print job can be restricted.

Computer method, apparatus and system reduces size of attachments for an electronic communication. The method/system automatically selects a part (portion) of a working document to serve as the electronic communication attachment or upload. A monitoring unit monitors sender-user activity with respect to the working document and logs indications of the portions of the working document that are read by the user. During email composition, an attachment engine automatically selects the logged and indicated document portions to serve as an attachment reduced in size. During other electronic communication composition, such as to a blog, wiki or computer network forum, the attachment engine automatically selects the logged and indicated document portions to serve as the upload reduced in size.
