Abstract

One embodiment provides a method, the method including: receiving, at an alert context identification system, an alert initiated by one of a plurality of user devices in operative communication with a central device operated by a presenting user, wherein the alert indicates a user of the one of the plurality of user devices wants to communicate at least with the presenting user; determining, utilizing the alert context identification system, a context occurring at a time of the alert; and providing, to the central device and utilizing the alert context identification system, the context with the alert. Other aspects are claimed and described.

Claims (32)

1 . A method, comprising:

receiving, at an alert context identification system, an alert initiated by one of a plurality of user devices in operative communication with a central device operated by a presenting user, wherein the alert indicates a user of the one of the plurality of user devices wants to communicate at least with the presenting user;

determining, utilizing the alert context identification system, a context occurring at a time of the alert; and

providing, to the central device and utilizing the alert context identification system, the context with the alert.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the alert is initiated responsive to the user selecting an alert icon within a graphical user interface of the one of the plurality of user devices.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining a context comprises identifying a location within a presentation being presented by the presenting user and occurring at the time of the alert.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining a context comprises parsing audio content provided at the time of the alert and extracting at least one topic from the parsed audio content.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining a context comprises accessing a secondary information source and identifying, from the secondary information source, a topic of a presentation being presented by the presenting user.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining a context comprises receiving additional information from the user of the one of the plurality of user devices in combination with the alert initiated by the user.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising suggesting a response to the user based upon information contained within a presentation being presented by the presenting user.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the suggesting a response comprises identifying a response to the user within the presentation.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the suggesting a response comprises indicating a response is upcoming within the presentation.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining a context comprises utilizing a machine-learning model.

11 . An information handling device, the information handling device comprising:

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions that when executed by the processor, causes the information handling device to:

receive, at an alert context identification system, an alert initiated by one of a plurality of user devices in operative communication with a central device operated by a presenting user, wherein the alert indicates a user of the one of the plurality of user devices wants to communicate at least with the presenting user;

determine, utilizing the alert context identification system, a context occurring at a time of the alert; and

provide, to the central device and utilizing the alert context identification system, the context with the alert.

12 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the alert is initiated responsive to the user selecting an alert icon within a graphical user interface of the one of the plurality of user devices.

13 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein to determine a context comprises identifying a location within a presentation being presented by the presenting and occurring at the time of the alert.

14 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein to determine a content comprises parsing audio content provided at the time of the alert and extracting at least one topic from the parsed audio content.

15 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein to determine a context comprises accessing a secondary information source and identifying, from the secondary information source, a topic of a presentation being presented by the presenting user.

16 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein to determine a context comprises receiving additional information from the user of the one of the plurality of user devices in combination with the alert initiated by the user.

17 . The information handling device of claim 11 , further comprising suggesting a response to the user based upon information contained within a presentation being presented by the user.

18 . The information handling device of claim 17 , wherein the suggesting a response comprises identifying a response to the user within the presentation.

19 . The information handling device of claim 17 , wherein the suggesting a response comprises indicating a response is upcoming in the presentation.

20 . A product, the product comprising:

a computer-readable storage device that stores executable code that, when executed by a processor, causes the product to:

receive, at an alert context identification system, an alert initiated by one of a plurality of user devices in operative communication with a central device operated by a presenting user, wherein the alert indicates a user of the of the one of the plurality of user devices wants to communicate at least with the presenting user;

determine, utilizing the alert context identification system, a context occurring at a time of the alert; and

provide, to the central device and utilizing the alert context identification system, the context within the alert.
