Abstract

One embodiment provides an apparatus. The apparatus includes a user profile; and a content filter logic. The content filter logic is to determine whether a content of a received message directed to a target recipient is compatible with the user profile and a current emotional state of the target recipient and to select at least one action based, at least in part, on one or more of the content, the user profile and/or the current emotional state of the target recipient. The at least one action is selected from the group comprising place the received message on hold, provide the received message to the target recipient, modify the received message, delete the received message, store the received message to an original message log, provide an alert to the target recipient, forward the message to another recipient and/or ascertain, from a sender, an urgency of the received message.

Claims (32)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a user profile; and

content filter circuitry to determine whether a content of a received message directed to a plurality of target recipients is compatible with the user profile and a current emotional state of each of the plurality of target recipients, and to select an aggregate action based, at least in part, on one or more of the content, the user profile and/or the current emotional state of at least one of the plurality of target recipients;

wherein all user devices associated with plurality of target recipients select the same aggregate action.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the content filter circuitry is further to associate the selected aggregate action with the content and store the associated selected aggregate action and the content to a decision log.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the content filter circuitry is further to capture a user response to a message provided to at least one of the plurality of target recipients.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising machine learning circuitry to update a content decision rule based, at least in part, on the captured user response and based, at least in part, on the selected aggregate action.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising recipient emotion analytics circuitry to determine whether a later target recipient emotional state is favorable, if the selected aggregate action comprises place the message on hold.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the received message comprises one or more of audio content, an image, text content and/or video content and the aggregate action is selected from the group comprising place the received message on hold, provide the received message to the target recipient, modify the received message, delete the received message, store the received message to an original message log, provide an alert to the target recipient, forward the received message to another recipient and/or ascertain, from a sender, an urgency of the received message.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the current emotional state of at least one of the plurality of target recipients is determined based, at least in part, on sensor data captured from at least one sensor, the sensor data selected from the group comprising a temperature, a heart rate, a respiration rate, a galvanic skin resistance, a blood pressure, a brain activity, voice, motion, acceleration, a facial expression and/or a gesture.

8. A method comprising:

determining, by a content filter circuitry, whether a content of a received message directed to a plurality of target recipients is compatible with a user profile and a current emotional state of each of the plurality of target recipients; and

selecting, by the content filter circuitry, an aggregate action based, at least in part, on one or more of the content, the user profile and/or the current emotional state of at least one of the plurality of target recipients;

wherein the same aggregate action is selected for each of the target recipients.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising associating, by the content filter circuitry, the selected aggregate action with the content and storing, by the content filter circuitry, the associated selected aggregate action and the content to a decision log.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising capturing, by the content filter circuitry, a user response to a message provided to at least one of the plurality of target recipients.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising updating, by a machine learning circuitry, a content decision rule based, at least in part, on the captured user response and based, at least in part, on the selected aggregate action.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising determining, by a recipient emotion analytics circuitry, whether a later target recipient emotional state is favorable, if the selected aggregate action comprises place the message on hold.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the received message comprises one or more of audio content, an image, text content and/or video content and the aggregate action is selected from the group comprising place the received message on hold, provide the received message to the target recipient, modify the received message, delete the received message, store the received message to an original message log, provide an alert to the target recipient, forward the received message to another recipient and/or ascertain, from a sender, an urgency of the received message.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the current emotional state of at least one of the plurality of target recipients is determined based, at least in part, on sensor data captured from at least one sensor, the sensor data selected from the group comprising a temperature, a heart rate, a respiration rate, a galvanic skin resistance, a blood pressure, a brain activity, voice, motion, acceleration, a facial expression and/or a gesture.

15. A user device comprising:

a processor;

a memory;

a user profile; and

content filter circuitry to determine whether a content of a received message directed to a plurality of target recipients is compatible with the user profile and a current emotional state of each of the plurality of target recipients, and to select an aggregate action based, at least in part, on one or more of the content, the user profile and/or the current emotional state of at least one of the plurality of target recipients;

wherein other user devices associated with plurality of target recipients select the same aggregate action.

16. The user device of claim 15 , herein the content filter circuitry is further to associate the selected aggregate action with the content and store the associated selected aggregate action and the content to a decision log.

17. The user device of claim 15 , wherein the content filter circuitry is further to capture a user response to a message provided to of at least one of the plurality of target recipients.

18. The user device of claim 17 , further comprising a machine learning circuitry to update a content decision rule based, at least in part, on the captured user response and based, at least in part, on the selected aggregate action.

19. The user device of claim 15 , further comprising a recipient emotion analytics circuitry to determine whether a later target recipient emotional state is favorable, if the selected aggregate action comprises place the message on hold.

20. The user device of claim 15 , wherein the received message comprises one or more of audio content, an image, text content and/or video content and the aggregate action is selected from the group comprising place the received message on hold, provide the received message to the target recipient, modify the received message, delete the received message, store the received message to an original message log, provide an alert to the target recipient, forward the received message to another recipient and/or ascertain, from a sender, an urgency of the received message.

21. The user device of claim 15 , wherein the current emotional state of at least one of the plurality of target recipients is determined based, at least in part, on sensor data captured from at least one sensor, the sensor data selected from the group comprising a temperature, a heart rate, a respiration rate, a galvanic skin resistance, a blood pressure, a brain activity, voice, motion, acceleration, a facial expression and/or a gesture.
