Claims20
A method comprising:
- associating a user with a collaboration group at a collaboration server;
- tracking activity of participants in the collaboration group at the collaboration server;
- processing a message received in the collaboration group at the collaboration server;
- assigning a priority to the message for the user based on said activity of the participants in the collaboration group;
- and
- presenting a notification of the message to the user based on said priority of the message.
An apparatus comprising:
- an interface for receiving tracked activity of participants in a collaboration group and transmitting notifications to a user of the collaboration group;
- a processor for processing a message received in the collaboration group, assigning a priority to the message for the user based on said activity of the participants in the collaboration group, and presenting a notification of the message to the user based on said priority of the message;
- and
- memory for storing metrics computed based on said tracked activity and used in assigning said priority.
Logic encoded on one or more non-transitory computer readable media for execution and when executed operable to:
- associate a user with a collaboration group at a collaboration server;
- track activity of participants in the collaboration group;
- process a message received in the collaboration group;
- assign a priority to the message for the user based on said activity of the participants in the collaboration group;
- and
- present a notification of the message to the user based on said priority of the message.
