System and method for identifying information

A method of analyzing a digital communication, comprising:

• assigning a word value to each of a plurality of words;
• identifying a predetermined portion of said digital communication, said predetermined portion to contain one or more words;
• identifying a subset of the one or more words in said predetermined portion;
• and
• determining a message value for said predetermined portion, said message value corresponding to the word values of said selected subset, said message value to be indicative of the likelihood that said message relates to a predetermined subject.

An apparatus for monitoring communications, comprising:

• a memory including at least one instuction;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, the processor, in response to the at least one instruction, to,
• receive a message containing one or more words provided by a user during an electronic communication,
• transmit at least a portion of said message, and
• generating user profile data, said user profile data to be used to identify said user, said user profile data corresponding to at least one previous message provided by the user.

An apparatus to analyze a digital communication, comprising:

• a memory including at least one instruction;
• and
• a processor coupled to said memory, the processor, in response to the at least one instruction, to,
• assign a word value to each of a plurality of words,
• select a predetermined portion of said digital communication, said predetermined portion to contain one or more words,
• identify a subset of the one or more words in said predetermined portion, and
• determine a message value for said predetermined portion, said message value corresponding to the word values of said subset of the one or more words, said message value to be indicative of the likelihood that said message relates to a predetermined subject.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a computer usable medium having computer readable code embodied therein to monitor electronic communications, the computer readable program code in said computer program product comprising:
• first computer readable program code to receive an electronic communication containing one or more words provided by a user;
• second computer readable program code to access at least a portion of said electronic communication;
• third computer readable program code to generate user profile data, said user profile data to be used to identify the user, said user profile data to correspond to at least one previous electronic communication provided by the user;
• fourth computer readable program code to generate a result indicative of the likelihood that said electronic communication relates to a predetermined subject;
• and
• fifth computer readable program code to update the user profile data with said result.
