Abstract

Techniques to convert multi-party conversations to an editable document are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a message queue monitoring component operative to monitor a messaging conversation between two or more messaging participants; and analyze the messaging conversation based on a plurality of domain-specific extractors; a domain selector component operative to determine that a domain detection level for a selected extractor exceeds a threshold; and a document component operative to generate an editable document based on the messaging conversation using the selected extractor and assign access permissions to the editable document automatically to the two or more messaging participants. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Claims (56)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

analyzing sent and received messages in a messaging conversation in a messaging application using a domain-specific extractor, the domain-specific extractor providing a probability that one or more messages in the messaging conversation pertain to a particular domain associated with the domain-specific extractor;

determining that some or all of the one or more messages have a probability that exceeds a threshold for the domain;

displaying, in the messaging conversation, a note monitoring notification associated with the messages having a probability exceeding the threshold, the note monitoring notification providing a visual notification of a portion of the being considered for inclusion in an editable note:

accessing social graph information regarding participants in the messaging conversation;

determining, based on the social graph information, that the one or more participants have a domain-relevant relationship; and

lowering the threshold for the domain based on the domain-relevant relationship.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

extracting the one or more messages in the messaging conversation determined by the domain-specific extractor to pertain to the particular domain; and

creating the editable note containing the extracted messages.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising:

displaying, in a user interface display of the messaging application, a note creation notification indicating that the editable note has been created.

4. The method of claim 3 further comprising:

receiving a user selection of the note creation notification; and

transitioning the user interface display to a view of the editable note.

5. The method of claim 3 wherein the note monitoring notification is removed from the user interface display when the note creation notification is displayed.

6. The method of claim 3 wherein the messaging conversation has a user-assigned title displayed in the user interface display, further comprising:

assigning a title to the editable note, the title comprising the user-assigned title of the messaging conversation.

7. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor on a device;

software, executable on the processor, operative to:

analyze sent and received messages in a messaging conversation in a messaging application using a domain-specific extractor, the domain-specific extractor providing a probability that one or more messages in the messaging conversation pertain to a particular domain associated with the domain-specific extractor;

determine that some or all of the one or more messages have a probability that exceeds a threshold for the domain;

display, in the messaging conversation, a note monitoring notification associated with the messages having a probability exceeding the threshold, the note monitoring notification providing a visual notification of a portion of the messaging conversation being considered for inclusion in an editable note;

access social graph information regarding participants in the messaging conversation;

determine, based on the social graph information, that the one or more participants have a domain-relevant relationship; and

lower the threshold for the domain based on the domain-relevant relationship.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , the software further operative to:

extract the one or more messages in the messaging conversation determined by the domain-specific extractor to pertain to the particular domain; and

create the editable note containing the extracted messages.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , the software further operative to:

display, in a user interface display of the messaging application, a note creation notification indicating that the editable note has been created.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , the software further operative to:

receive a user selection of the note creation notification; and

transition the user interface display to a view of the editable note.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein the note monitoring notification is removed from the user interface display when the note creation notification is displayed.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein the messaging conversation has a user-assigned title displayed in the user interface display, the software further operative to:

assign a title to the editable note, the title comprising the user-assigned title of the messaging conversation.

13. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:

analyze sent and received messages in a messaging conversation in a messaging application using a domain-specific extractor, the domain-specific extractor providing a probability that one or more messages in the messaging conversation pertain to a particular domain associated with the domain-specific extractor;

determine that some or all of the one or more messages have a probability that exceeds a threshold for the domain;

display, in the messaging conversation, a note monitoring notification associated with the messages having a probability exceeding the threshold, the note monitoring notification providing a visual notification of a portion of the messaging conversation being considered for inclusion in an editable note;

access social graph information regarding participants in the messaging conversation;

determine, based on the social graph information, that the one or more participants have a domain-relevant relationship; and

lower the threshold for the domain based on the domain-relevant relationship.

14. The medium of claim 13 comprising further instructions that cause the system to:

extract the one or more messages in the messaging conversation determined by the domain-specific extractor to pertain to the particular domain; and

create the editable note containing the extracted messages.

15. The medium of claim 14 comprising further instructions that cause the system to:

display, in a user interface display of the messaging application, a note creation notification indicating that the editable note has been created; and

remove the note monitoring notification from the user interface display.

16. The medium of claim 15 , comprising further instructions that cause the system to:

receive a user selection of the note creation notification; and

transition the user interface display to a view of the editable note.

17. The medium of claim 15 wherein the messaging conversation has a user-assigned title displayed in the user interface display, comprising further instructions that cause the system to:

assign a title to the editable note, the title comprising the user-assigned title of the messaging conversation.
