Abstract

A method automatically filters out entries from a digital artifact based on detection of strained relationship status. The method includes monitoring for indicators of a strained relationship with second persons, and, in response to a trigger to access/output a digital artifact, identifying whether a timeline entry included in the digital artifact is associated with, at least one of (i) the at least one second person with whom the user currently has a strained relationship or (ii) at least one specific activity associated with a second person with whom a strained relationship status is recorded contemporaneously with the specific activity. The method includes, in response to the digital artifact including at least one such timeline entry: removing the at least one timeline entry from the digital artifact; and presenting the digital artifact on the output device without the at least one timeline entry.

Dependent claims

An electronic device comprising:

at least one output device comprising at least one display;
a communications subsystem that enables the electronic device to communicatively connect to one or more networks and second electronic devices;
a memory having stored thereon a digital artifact content filtering (DACF) module for autonomously filtering out and removing, based on strained relationship status of an associated second person, at least one segment of content from a presented digital artifact comprising a plurality of distinct segments;
and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the at least one output device, the communications subsystem, and the memory, the at least one processor executing program code of the DACF module, and configured to cause the electronic device to:
monitor, within user inputs received at the electronic device and communication exchanges and communication patterns with one or more external sources, for indicators of a strained relationship between a user of the electronic device and at least one second person with whom the user has an association;
and
in response to a trigger to retrieve and output a digital artifact via an output device among the at least one output device:
identify whether the digital artifact comprises at least one timeline entry that invokes thoughts of, or is associated with, at least one of (i) the at least one second person with whom the user currently has a strained relationship or (ii) at least one specific activity that is associated with the at least one second person with whom a strained relationship status is recorded contemporaneously with the specific activity and which is determined to presents an ongoing negative user association within the digital artifact;
and
in response to the digital artifact comprising the at least one timeline entry:
remove the at least one timeline entry from the digital artifact;
and
present the digital artifact on the output device without the at least one timeline entry.
