SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR ALTERING CHAT LAYOUT BASED ON CONTENT

1 . A computer-implemented method for changing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) of a chat window in a collaboration environment, the method comprising:

receiving a message shared by a participant of a chat;

detecting that the message comprises a type of attachment; and

applying a layout to the chat window based on the type of attachment.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising causing to display the messages in the layout of the chat window to a user.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

setting a threshold percentage of a number of messages comprising the type of attachment; and

wherein applying the layout occurs when a percentage of the number of messages exceeds the threshold percentage.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting a degree of essentiality of text of the message with regard to the attachment; and

upon determining that the degree of essentiality of text exceeds a predetermined threshold, displaying the text of the message in the layout of the chat window based on the degree of essentiality.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the type of attachment comprises: an audio file, a video file, a picture, a link, a text file, or a code part.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the layout comprises: a playlist view, a gallery view, a text viewer view, or a syntax highlighter view.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:

receiving a second message shared by the participant of the chat;

detecting that the second message comprises a second type of attachment, wherein the second type of attachment is different from the type of attached in the message;

incorporating the second type of attachment into the layout; and

causing to display the layout of the chat window, with the second type of attachment to a user.

8 . A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause:

receiving a message shared by a participant of a chat;

detecting that the message comprises a type of attachment; and

applying a layout to the chat window based on the type of attachment.

9 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further comprise causing to display the message in the layout of the chat window to a user.

10 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

setting a threshold percentage of a number of messages comprising the type of attachment; and

wherein applying the type of GUI occurs when a percentage of the number of messages exceeds the threshold percentage.

11 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

detecting a degree of essentiality of text of the message with regard to the attachment; and

upon determining that the degree of essentiality of text exceeds a predetermined threshold, displaying the text of the message in the layout of the chat window based on the degree of essentiality.

12 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the type of attachment comprises: an audio file, a video file, a picture, a link, a text file, or a code part.

13 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the layout comprises: a playlist, a gallery, a text viewer, or a syntax highlighter.

14 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

receiving a second message shared by the participant of the chat;

detecting that the second message comprises a second type of attachment, wherein the second type of attachment is different from the type of attached in the message;

incorporating the second type of attachment into the layout; and

causing to display the layout of the chat window, with the second type of attachment to a user.

15 . A system for changing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) of a chat window in a collaboration environment, the system comprising:

a processor;

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

receiving a message shared by a participant of a chat;

detecting that the message comprises a type of attachment; and

applying a layout to the chat window based on the type of attachment.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further comprise causing to display the message in the layout of the chat window to a user.

17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

setting a threshold percentage of a number of messages comprising the type of attachment; and

wherein applying the layout occurs when a percentage of the number of messages exceeds the threshold percentage.

18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further comprise:

detecting a degree of essentiality of text of the message with regard to the attachment; and

upon determining that the degree of essentiality of text exceeds a predetermined threshold, displaying the text of the message in the layout of the chat window based on the degree of essentiality.

19 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the type of attachment comprises: an audio file, a video file, a picture, a link, a text file, or a code part.

20 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the layout comprises: a playlist view, a gallery view, a text viewer view, or a syntax highlighter.
