Sending a chat context to a recipient

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions, wherein the instructions when executed comprise:

• deriving, from a plurality of names of a plurality of contexts, a plurality of respective context keywords, wherein the plurality of respective context keywords comprise terms that are not present in the plurality of names of the plurality of contexts;
• storing, to the plurality of contexts, the plurality of respective context keywords, wherein each of the plurality of respective context keywords is different;
• in response to sending a first plurality of instant messages within a first chat session from an electronic device, selecting at the electronic device a first context, from among the plurality of contexts, in which is stored a first context keyword of the plurality of respective context keywords that matches respective first terms in the first plurality of instant messages;
• storing the first plurality of instant messages of the first chat session to the first context;
• storing a status to the first context to indicate whether more instant messages are allowed to be added to the first context;
• storing the electronic device as owner to the first context to indicate the electronic device controls the first context and to indicate the electronic device is able to transfer ownership of the first context;
• in response to receiving a second plurality of instant messages within the first chat session at the electronic device, storing the second plurality of instant messages to the first context if the status of the first context indicates more instant messages are allowed to be added;
• in response to receiving a third plurality of instant messages within a second chat session at the electronic device, selecting at the electronic device the first context, from among the plurality of contexts, in which is stored the first keyword of the plurality of respective context keywords that matches the respective first terms in the third plurality of instant messages;
• if the status of the first context indicates more instant messages are allowed to be added to the first context, storing the third plurality of instant messages to the first context;
• sending the first context that comprises the first plurality of instant messages of the first chat session, the second plurality of messages of the first chat session, the third plurality of instant messages of the second chat session, the status, and the first context keyword to a recipient device;
• in response to the sending the first context to the recipient device, changing the status in the first context at the electronic device to indicate that no more instant messages are allowed to be added to the first context at the electronic device, wherein more instant messages are allowed to be added to the first context at recipient device, and;
• storing the recipient device as owner to the first context to indicate the recipient device controls the first context and to indicate the recipient device is able to transfer ownership of the first context.

A computer, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory is encoded with instructions, wherein the instructions when executed on the processor comprise:
• deriving, from a plurality of names of a plurality of contexts, a plurality of respective context keywords, wherein the plurality of respective context keywords comprise terms that are not present in the plurality of names of the plurality of contexts,
• storing, to the plurality of contexts, the plurality of respective context keywords, wherein each of the plurality of respective context keywords is different,
• in response to sending a first plurality of instant messages within a first chat session from an electronic device, selecting at the electronic device a first context, from among the plurality of contexts, in which is stored a first context keyword of the plurality of respective context keywords that matches respective first terms in the first plurality of instant messages,
• storing the first plurality of instant messages of the first chat session to the first context,
• storing a status to the first context to indicate whether more instant messages are allowed to be added to the first context,
• storing the electronic device as owner to the first context to indicate the electronic device controls the first context and to indicate the electronic device is able to transfer ownership of the first context,
• in response to receiving a second plurality of instant messages within the first chat session at the electronic device, storing the second plurality of instant messages to the first context if the status of the first context indicates more instant messages are allowed to be added;
• in response to receiving of a third plurality of instant messages within a second chat session at the electronic device, selecting at the electronic device the first context, from among the plurality of contexts, in which is stored the first keyword of the plurality of respective context keywords that matches the respective first terms in the third plurality of instant messages,
• if the status of the first context indicates more instant messages are allowed to be added to the first context, storing the third plurality of instant messages to the first context, and
• sending the first context that comprises the first plurality of instant messages of the first chat session, the second plurality of messages of the first chat session, the third plurality of messages of the second chat session, the status, and the first context keyword to a recipient device,
• in response to the sending the first context to the recipient device, changing the status in the first context at the electronic device to indicate that no more instant messages are allowed to be added to the first context at the electronic device, wherein more instant messages are allowed to be added to the first context at the recipient device, and
• storing the recipient device as owner to the first context to indicate the recipient device controls the first context and to indicate the recipient device is able to transfer ownership of the first context.
