Embodiment Construction

[0015] overview

[0016] Traditionally, participants in a chat session have not been able to control exposure to history, and thus each participant may have access to the full history. Thus, users may be forced to initiate separate conversations to prevent some participants from seeing sensitive or private information in messages exchanged before those participants join the conversation.

[0017] A session history scope control technique is described in which a participant in a communication session (eg, an online chat) can selectively control how much communication session history is shown to individuals joining the session. A history of messages exchanged between participants in a communication session is captured to create a session record. Representations of session records (eg, message threads) may be exposed for presentation by communication modules used by participants in the communication session. In response to a participant's joining, the communication module can...

Abstract

Session history horizon control techniques are described in which participants in a communication session are able to selectively control how much history of the communication session is shown to individuals added into the session. A representation of a session record (e.g., a message thread) may be exposed for rendering by communication modules used by participants for the communication session. Responsive to addition of participants, the communication module(s) may be configured to expose a history control element in conjunction with the session record to enable control over portions of the session record exposed to people added into the session. The history control element for a particular participant is configured to visually identify portions within the session record that are accessible to the particular participant. The history control element may also be positioned in different locations in the session record to modify exposure of the messages to the particular participant.

Description

Background technique [0001] Users increasingly rely on web-based resources for business and personal communications, including online meetings, screen sharing, video chats, messaging, and other means of communicating via the Internet. Some network-based communication sessions may involve dynamically changing participants, such as when people are added or left from a messaging thread. One issue that arises when the participants involved in a communication session change is how much history of the session is exposed. Traditionally, participants in a session cannot control exposure to history, and thus each participant may have access to the full history. To address situations where a participant may not want to share the full history with someone who was joined in the active session, the participant can open a new session and / or cut and paste portions of the active session into the new session. Alternatively, some environments that enable communication sessions may support fun...
