Abstract
An email activity pattern of a user is analyzed. A time probability for the user to act on an email sent to the user is determined based upon, at least in part, the email activity pattern of the user.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- analyzing an email activity pattern of a user;
- determining, based upon, at least in part, the email activity pattern, a time probability for the user to act on an email sent to the user;
- and
- displaying the time probability for the user to act on the email sent to the user on a computing device.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- analyzing an email activity pattern of a user;
- determining, based upon, at least in part, the email activity pattern, a time probability for the user to act on an email sent to the user;
- and
- displaying the time probability for the user to act on the email sent to the user on a computing device.
1 more element
A computing system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- at least one memory architecture coupled with the at least one processor;
- a first software module executed on the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture, wherein the first software module is configured analyze an email activity pattern of a user;
- a second software module executed on the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture, wherein the second software module is configured to determine, based upon, at least in part, the email activity pattern, a time probability for the user to act on an email sent to the user;
- and
- a third software module executed on the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture, wherein the third software module is configured to display the time probability for the user to act on the email sent to the user on a computing device
