Group chat with dynamic background images and content from social media
View Patent ↗A method, executed by a computer, for displaying dynamic content in a group communication environment includes determining a topic of a communication session having multiple participants, searching repositories for content corresponding to the topic, determining the participants' identities, retrieving the content, and enabling the participants to view the content. In some embodiments, the content is an image containing a face of a participant, and a speech indicator is displayed at the face of each participant as they comment in the communication session. In some embodiments, the relationship between the topic and the content is predefined. The topic of the communication session may be determined using natural language processing techniques. A computer program product and computer system corresponding to the above method are also disclosed herein.
1. A method for group communication, the method comprising:
determining a topic of a communication session, wherein the communication session has a plurality of participants;
determining an identity for each participant of the plurality of participants;
searching one or more repositories for content corresponding to the topic and the identity of each participant, wherein the content comprises a single image containing faces of a group, wherein the group includes a subset of the plurality of participants in accordance with a threshold of how many participants are to be found in the single image;
retrieving the content;
displaying, using a display, the content to the plurality of participants; and
responsive to a participant commenting in the communication session, displaying a speech indicator at the face of the participant, wherein the speech indicator comprises the participant's comment.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising pre-defining a relationship between the topic and the content.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the topic of the communication session comprises applying natural language processing, wherein the natural language processing includes lemmatization and an ontology-driven technique, wherein the ontology-drive technique includes a functional decomposition of a sentence, and wherein the functional decomposition includes a subject, a predicate, and an object.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sharing the communication session and content on a social media website.
5. A computer system for group communication, the computer system comprising:
one or more computer processors;
one or more computer readable storage media;
program instructions stored therein for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising instructions to:
determine a topic of a communication session, wherein the communication session has a plurality of participants;
determine an identity for each participant of the plurality of participants;
search one or more repositories for content corresponding to the topic and the identity of each participant, wherein the content comprises a single image containing faces of a group, wherein the group includes a subset of the plurality of participants in accordance with a threshold of how many participants are to be found in the single image;
retrieve the content;
display, using a display, the content to the plurality of participants; and
responsive to a participant commenting in the communication session, display a speech indicator at the face of the participant, wherein the speech indicator comprises the participant's comment.
6. The computer system of claim 5 , further comprising instructions to pre-define a relationship between the topic and the content.
7. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein the instructions to determine the topic of the communication session comprise instructions to apply natural language processing, wherein the natural language processing includes lemmatization and an ontology-driven technique, wherein the ontology-drive technique includes a functional decomposition of a sentence, and wherein the functional decomposition includes a subject, a predicate, and an object.
8. The computer system of claim 5 , further comprising instructions to share the communication session and content on a social media website.
9. A computer program product for group communication, the computer program product comprising:
a computer readable storage medium and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium, the program instructions comprising instructions to:
determine a topic of a communication session, wherein the communication session has a plurality of participants;
determine an identity for each participant of the plurality of participants;
search one or more repositories for content corresponding to the topic and the identity of each participant, wherein the content comprises a single image containing faces of a group, wherein the group includes a subset of the plurality of participants in accordance with a threshold of how many participants are to be found in the single image;
retrieve the content;
display, using a display, the content to the plurality of participants;
responsive to a participant commenting in the communication session, display a speech indicator at the face of the participant, wherein the speech indicator comprises the participant's comment.
10. The computer program product of claim 9 , further comprising instructions to pre-define a relationship between the topic and the content.
11. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the instructions to determine the topic of the communication session comprise instructions to apply natural language processing, wherein the natural language processing includes lemmatization and an ontology-driven technique, wherein the ontology-drive technique includes a functional decomposition of a sentence, and wherein the functional decomposition includes a subject, a predicate, and an object.
