Abstract
A method and system for detecting and grouping users in electronic communications includes detecting electronic communications by a user using a device having a computer to communicate with other users. A number of message recipients are identified in the electronic communications. The message recipients are placed in a social graph based on a criteria such as the frequency of the electronic communications between the user and the message recipients. A group is created of the message recipients based on the social graph, and the group is presented to the user. The group can be accessed by the user for routing future electronic communications.
Claims18
A method for grouping users communicating on an electronic communications platform, comprising:
- detecting, by a computing device, electronic communications by a user;
- identifying, by the computing device, message recipients participating in the detected electronic communications;
- and
- creating, by the computing device, a group of most relevant message recipients in an electronic communications platform used by the user based on a social graph of the message recipients.
A system for grouping users communicating on an electronic communications platform, the system comprising:
- a computer system comprising:
- a computer processor, a computer-readable storage medium, and program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium being executable by the processor, to cause the computer system to perform a method, comprising:
- detecting, by a computing device, electronic communications by a user;
- identifying, by the computing device, message recipients participating in the detected electronic communications;
- and
- creating, by the computing device, a group of most relevant message recipients in an electronic communications platform used by the user based on a social graph of the message recipients.
A computer program product for grouping users communicating on an electronic communications platform, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform a method, comprising:
- detecting, by a computing device, electronic communications by a user;
- identifying, by the computing device, message recipients participating in the detected electronic communications;
- and
- creating, by the computing device, a group of most relevant message recipients in an electronic communications platform used by the user based on a social graph of the message recipients.
