Abstract

A communication system includes: a processor; and a memory, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: monitor a chat communication session; identify a piece of information exchanged during the chat communication session; compare the piece of information with profile information of a first user participating in the chat communication session; transmit a signal to an electronic device operated by the first user to suggest assigning a tag to the piece of information; receive a request from the electronic device operated by the first user to view the piece of information associated with the tag; and transmit the piece of information to the electronic device for display thereby.

Claims (57)

1. A communication system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

monitor a first chat communication session;

identify a piece of information exchanged during the first chat communication session;

compare the piece of information with profile information of a first user participating in the first chat communication session;

transmit a signal to an electronic device operated by the first user to suggest assigning a tag to the piece of information;

receive a request from the electronic device operated by the first user to view the piece of information associated with the tag;

transmit the piece of information to the electronic device operated by the first user for display thereby; and

transmit, in real-time during the first chat communication session, an alert to an electronic device operated by a second user, the second user participating in a second chat communication and not participating in the first chat communication session, the alert comprising a notification that the tag was assigned to the piece of information.

2. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to receive a signal from the electronic device operated by the first user assigning the tag to the piece of information.

3. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to categorize the piece of information as corresponding to a predetermined category of tags.

4. The communication system of claim 3 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to compare the predetermined category of tags with one or more previous tags assigned by the first user and suggest assigning the tag to the piece of information in response to determining the predetermined category of tags corresponds to the one or more previous tags assigned by the first user.

5. The communication system of claim 3 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to compare the predetermined category of tags with information associated with a profile of the first user and suggest assigning the tag to the piece of information in response to determining the predetermined category of tags corresponds to the information associated with the profile of the first user.

6. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

categorize the piece of information as corresponding to a predetermined category of tags;

compare the predetermined category of tags with one or more previous tags assigned by the second user; and

transmit the alert to the second user in response to the predetermined category of tags corresponding to the one or more previous tags assigned by the second user.

7. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

categorize the piece of information as corresponding to a predetermined category of tags;

compare the predetermined category of tags with information associated with a profile of the second user; and

transmit the alert to the second user in response to the predetermined category of tags corresponding to the information associated with the profile of the second user.

8. A method of managing a communication system, the method comprising:

monitoring, by a processor, a first chat communication session;

identifying, by the processor, a piece of information exchanged during the first chat communication session;

comparing, by the processor, the piece of information with profile information of a first user participating in the first chat communication session;

transmitting, by the processor, a signal to an electronic device operated by the first user to suggest assigning a tag to the piece of information;

receiving, by the processor, a request from the electronic device operated by the first user to view the piece of information associated with the tag;

transmitting, by the processor, the piece of information to the electronic device operated by the first user for display thereby; and

transmitting, by the processor in real-time during the first chat communication session, an alert to an electronic device operated by a second user, the second user participating in a second chat communication and not participating in the first chat communication session, the alert comprising a notification that the tag was assigned to the piece of information.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising receiving, by the processor, a signal from the electronic device operated by the first user assigning the tag to the piece of information.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising categorizing, by the processor, the piece of information as corresponding to a predetermined category of tags.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising comparing, by the processor, the predetermined category of tags with one or more previous tags assigned by the first user and suggest assigning the tag to the piece of information in response to determining the predetermined category of tags corresponds to the one or more previous tags assigned by the first user.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising comparing, by the processor, the predetermined category of tags with information associated with a profile of the first user and suggest assigning the tag to the piece of information in response to determining the predetermined category of tags corresponds to the information associated with the profile of the first user.

13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

categorizing, by the processor, the piece of information as corresponding to a predetermined category of tags;

comparing, by the processor, the predetermined category of tags with one or more previous tags assigned by the second user; and

transmitting, by the processor, the alert to the second user in response to the predetermined category of tags corresponding to the one or more previous tags assigned by the second user.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

categorizing, by the processor, the piece of information as corresponding to a predetermined category of tags;

comparing, by the processor, the predetermined category of tags with information associated with a profile of the second user; and

transmitting, by the processor the alert to the second user in response to the predetermined category of tags corresponding to the information associated with the profile of the second user.

15. A communication system comprising:

means for monitoring a first chat communication session;

means for identifying a piece of information exchanged during the first chat communication session;

means for comparing the piece of information with profile information of a first user participating in the first chat communication session;
