Abstract
A communication management method and system. The method includes receiving by a computer processor, user defined data. The computer processor generates an email comprising the user defined data and retrieves an email address associated with a recipient for the email. The computer processor compares the email address to cultural data and determines a cultural region associated with the recipient. The computer processor retrieves content from the email and compares the content to cultural rules associated with the cultural region. The computer processor determines if any of the content conflicts with the cultural rules and performs functions associated with the email.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer processor of a computing device for a user, an email comprising first data;
- generating, by said computer processor in response to a command and reply data from said user, a reply email associated with said email, said reply email comprising said reply data and said first data;
- enabling, by said computer processor, email reply check functionality;
- identifying, by said computer processor in response to said enabling, a first plurality of character strings from said first data of said reply email;
- identifying, by said computer processor in response to said enabling, a second plurality of character strings from said reply data of said reply email;
- comparing, by said computer processor, said first plurality of character strings to said second plurality of character strings;
- determining, by said computer processor based on results of said comparing, if each character string of said second plurality of character strings is associated with and in reply to a character string of said first plurality of character strings;
- and
- performing, by said computer processor based on results of said determining if each character string of said second plurality of character strings is associated with and in reply to a character string of said first plurality of character strings, functions associated with said reply email.
A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device storing a computer readable program code, said computer readable program code comprising an algorithm that when executed by a computer processor of a computing device implements a method, said method comprising:
- receiving, by said computer processor for a user, an email comprising first data;
- generating, by said computer processor in response to a command and reply data from said user, a reply email associated with said email, said reply email comprising said reply data and said first data;
- enabling, by said computer processor, email reply check functionality;
- identifying, by said computer processor in response to said enabling, a first plurality of character strings from said first data of said reply email;
- identifying, by said computer processor in response to said enabling, a second plurality of character strings from said reply data of said reply email;
- comparing, by said computer processor, said first plurality of character strings to said second plurality of character strings;
- determining, by said computer processor based on results of said comparing, if each character string of said second plurality of character strings is associated with and in reply to a character string of said first plurality of character strings;
- and
- performing, by said computer processor based on results of said determining if each character string of said second plurality of character strings is associated with and in reply to a character string of said first plurality of character strings, functions associated with said reply email.
A computing device comprising a computer processor coupled to a computer-readable memory unit, said memory unit comprising instructions that when executed by the computer processor implements a method comprising:
- receiving, by said computer processor for a user, an email comprising first data;
- generating, by said computer processor in response to a command and reply data from said user, a reply email associated with said email, said reply email comprising said reply data and said first data;
- enabling, by said computer processor, email reply check functionality;
- identifying, by said computer processor in response to said enabling, a first plurality of character strings from said first data of said reply email;
- identifying, by said computer processor in response to said enabling, a second plurality of character strings from said reply data of said reply email;
- comparing, by said computer processor, said first plurality of character strings to said second plurality of character strings;
- determining, by said computer processor based on results of said comparing, if each character string of said second plurality of character strings is associated with and in reply to a character string of said first plurality of character strings;
- and
- performing, by said computer processor based on results of said determining if each character string of said second plurality of character strings is associated with and in reply to a character string of said first plurality of character strings, functions associated with said reply email.
