Method for automatically generating and communicating a user's status and/or its predicted duration

Abstract

The present application relates to automatically generating and communicating a user's status and / or predicted duration of status. Automatically generate and / or automatically transmit the user's status. The status is communicated via corresponding computing devices of the additional users for presentation to the one or more additional users. Some implementations involve determining both a user's status and a predicted duration of the status, and generating a status notification that includes the status and indicates the predicted duration. Some embodiments additionally or alternatively involve using at least one trust criterion in determining whether to provide status notifications of a user to additional users and / or determining what status notifications to provide to additional users. Some embodiments additionally or alternatively involve training and / or using a machine learning model to determine a user's state and / or a predicted duration of that state.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to automatically generating and communicating a user's status and / or predicted duration of status. Background technique [0002] Chat messages and other electronic communications often prompt a prompt response. However, in some cases, the recipient of the electronic communication is unable or unwilling to reply in a timely manner due to participation in another activity, such as participating in a sporting activity, watching a movie at a movie theater, shopping, etc. [0003] Some chat applications allow users to manually set status messages (eg, via selection from a limited set of options). Then, when other users view the contact information via the corresponding chat application, the manually set status message will be displayed next to the user's contact information. However, manually setting status messages can be cumbersome (e.g., requiring multiple user interface inputs from the user) and / or users often forget to...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, manually setting status messages can be cumbersome (e.g., requiring multiple user interface inputs from the user) and / or users often forget to update their status (e.g., forgetting to set the status before participating in an activity and / or forgetting to change it after participating in an activity). back to it)

Furthermore, when others rely on the state (e.g., to determine if / when to contact the user via electronic communication), the state not being updated in a timely manner can result in the electronic communication being unanswered and computing resources stretched unnecessarily
