Abstract
A method, system, and program is provided for automatically searching and injecting a multi-person chat history into a chat session, and allowing users to inject a multi-person chat history into a new chat session.
Claims6
A method of managing chat history injection, comprising:
- storing all communications amongst participants during a chat session in a chat log to create a chat history;
- creating, subsequently, a new chat session;
- comparing new chat session participants with chat history participants stored in the chat log within a predetermined temporal window to determine a number of similar participants after the new chat session is created;
- and
- performing one of:
- injecting the chat history into the chat session automatically when the number of similar participants is at least as great as a first predetermined threshold;
- prompting a user response to inject the chat history into the chat session when the number of similar participants is at least as great as a second threshold, where the chat history is injected into the chat session when the user responds affirmatively to the prompt;
- and
- outputting the communications among participants in the chat session.

A storage medium, readable by a machine and tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method for managing chat history injection, said method comprising:
- storing all communications amongst participants during a chat session in a chat log to create a chat history;
- creating, subsequently, a new chat session;
- comparing new chat session participants with chat history participants stored in the chat log within a predetermined temporal window to determine a number of similar participants after the new chat session is created;
- and
- performing one of:
- injecting the chat history into the chat session automatically when the number of similar participants is at least as great as a first pre-determined threshold;
- prompting a user response to inject the chat history into the chat session when the number of similar participants is at least as great as a prompted threshold, where the chat history is injected into the chat session when the user responds affirmatively to the prompt;
- and
- outputting the communications among participants in the chat session.
6 more elements
A system for managing chat history injection, comprising:
- a communications device for receiving and forwarding messages in a chat room between a chat sender application and a chat recipient application;
- a storage device, storing all communications amongst participants during a chat session in a chat log;
- means for subsequently creating a new chat session;
- means for comparing new chat session participants with chat history participants stored in the chat log within a predetermined temporal window to determine a number of similar participants after the new chat session is created;
- and
- means for performing one of:
- injecting the chat history into the chat session automatically when the number of similar participants is at least as great as a first pre-determined threshold;
- displaying a prompt for a user response on said communications device to inject the chat history into the chat session when the number of similar participants is at least as great as a second threshold, where the chat history is injected into the chat session when the user answers affirmatively to the prompt;
- and
- displaying the communications among participants in the chat session.
