CONTEXT DRIVEN MODIFICATION OF ATTACHMENTS IN A MESSAGING SESSION
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for message attachment modification based upon determined context. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for message attachment modification based upon determined context is provided. The method includes loading into memory a message referencing a file to be transmitted to a recipient, determining a context for the transmission of the message, modifying the file according to the determined context, and transmitting the message with the modified file to the recipient.
1 . A method for message attachment modification based upon determined context, the method comprising:
loading into memory a message referencing a file to be transmitted to a recipient;
determining a context for transmitting the message;
modifying the file according to the determined context; and,
transmitting the message with modified file to the recipient.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the message is one of a text message, an e-mail message and an instant message.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the context is a reference to one or more pages of the file and the file is modified to include only the pages referenced in the context.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the context is a determination of limited resources available to the recipient to view the attached file and the file is modified to a smaller size.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the context is a reference by the recipient to an audio portion of an audio-visual file and the file is modified to exclude a video portion of the audio-visual file.
6 . A messaging data processing system comprising:
a host computing system comprising one or more computers each with one or more processors and memory;
a messaging server executing in the memory of the host computing system;
a plurality of different messaging clients each disposed in a different computer communicatively coupled to the host computing system over a network, the messaging clients exchanging messages with one another as managed by the messaging server; and,
a message attachment modification module communicatively coupled to each of the clients and the server, the module comprising program code enabled to load into memory a message referencing a file to be transmitted to a recipient, to determine a context for transmitting the message, to modify the file according to the determined context, and to transmit the message with the modified file to the recipient.
7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the message is one of a text message, an e-mail message and an instant message.
8 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the context is a reference to one or more pages of the file and the file is modified to include only the pages referenced in the context.
9 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the context is a determination of limited resources available to the recipient to view the attached file and the file is modified to a smaller size.
10 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the context is a reference by the recipient to an audio portion of an audio-visual file and the file is modified to exclude a video portion of the audio-visual file.
11 . A computer program product for message attachment modification based upon determined context, the computer program product comprising:
a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
computer readable program code for loading into memory a message referencing a file to be transmitted to a recipient;
computer readable program code for determining a context for transmitting the message;
computer readable program code for modifying the file according to the determined context; and,
computer readable program code for transmitting the message with modified file to the recipient.
12 . The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the message is one of a text message, an e-mail message and an instant message.
13 . The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the context is a reference to one or more pages of the file and the file is modified to include only the pages referenced in the context.
14 . The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the context is a determination of limited resources available to the recipient to view the attached file and the file is modified to a smaller size.
15 . The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the context is a reference by the recipient to an audio portion of an audio-visual file and the file is modified to exclude a video portion of the audio-visual file.
