Metadata generator responsive to user content

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a computer readable memory in circuit communication with the processor;
• and
• a computer readable storage medium in circuit communication with the processor;
• wherein the processor executes program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium via the computer readable memory and thereby:
• determines unstructured personal context data for a person associated with an electronic message, wherein the unstructured personal context data is selected from the group consisting of:
• user motion data, user biometric data, environmental conditions of the user, and audio speech data;
• determines from the unstructured personal context data a structured metadata value that is descriptive of a context of the person associated with the electronic message and that is selected from the group consisting of:
• an emotional state value, a type of a vocal utterance, and a user physical condition;
• incorporates the determined structured metadata value as metadata within a data structure defining the electronic message;
• store in a data repository the data structure defining the electronic message in association with a time of acquisition of the unstructured personal context data, identity data of the person associated with the electronic message, and identity data of another person, wherein the person associated with the electronic message and the another person are selected from the group consisting of:
• a user taking action on the electronic message, a person engaging in audible conversation with the user taking action on the electronic message, a sender of the electronic message, and a recipient of the electronic message;
• and
• forwards the data structure with the determined structured metadata value descriptive of a context of the user taking action on the electronic message to the recipient of the electronic message.

A computer program product for selectively associating user context metadata with electronic messages, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the computer readable program code comprising instructions for execution by a processor that cause the processor to:
• determine unstructured personal context data for a person associated with an electronic message, wherein the unstructured personal context data is selected from the group consisting of:
• user motion data, user biometric data, environmental conditions of the user, and audio speech data;
• determine from the unstructured personal context data a structured metadata value that is descriptive of a context of the person associated with the electronic message and that is selected from the group consisting of an emotional state value, a type of a vocal utterance, and a user physical condition;
• incorporate the determined structured metadata value as metadata within a data structure defining the electronic message;
• store in a data repository the data structure defining the electronic message in association with a time of acquisition of the unstructured personal context data, identity data of the person associated with the electronic message, and identity data of another person, wherein the person associated with the electronic message and the another person are selected from the group consisting of:
• a user taking action on the electronic message, a person engaging in audible conversation with the user taking action on the electronic message, a sender of the electronic message, and a recipient of the electronic message;
• and
• forward the data structure with the determined structured metadata value descriptive of a context of the user taking action the electronic message to the recipient of the electronic message.
