Apparatuses and methods involving data-communications room predictions

An apparatus to provide data-communications room recommendations, the apparatus comprising:

• communications circuitry configured to communicate with endpoint devices over at least one broadband network;
• and
• a data-communications server configured with the communications circuitry to:
• interface with each of a plurality of remotely-situated client entities;
• provide user-data-communications sessions each involving a client-specific endpoint device and another participating endpoint device, where the client-specific endpoint device is associated with a client-entity among a plurality of remotely-situated client entities;
• retrieve data communications messages between the client-specific endpoint device and the other participating endpoint device;
• for each of a plurality of data-communications rooms, batch ones of the data communications messages together to create a room document;
• responsive to receipt of a request from a particular user, identify a particular data-communications room among the plurality of data-communications rooms for the request, based on a comparison of the room document for the particular data-communications room and the request from the particular user;
• and
• retrieve the data communications messages from a plurality of disparate interconnected data-communications systems that each provide at least one data-communications service to the client entity on a subscription basis;
• and
• batch ones of the data communications messages together to create the room document by batching ones of the data communications messages emanating from different ones of the plurality of data-communications systems.
