Methods and apparatuses that generate a subtopic identifier identifying a client application within a client device that can support multiple users are described. The client application may be associated with a server application hosted in one or more application servers. Notification services may be registered with the application servers from the client application to forward identifiers associated with the client application for one of the multiple users to the server application to enable the server application to push notification messages to the client device selectively for the client application for that user. When receiving a notification message from the application server, the notification message may be examined to forward the notification message directly to the client application for that user without invoking other applications in the client device if the notification message carries a subtopic identifier of the client application.

The collator updates the first topic portion of the first document with the first update information based on the collator having determined that the first user has been assigned a project identifier that matches the project identifier of the project and that the first user has been assigned a topic identifier that matches the first topic identifier, which confirms the first user's authorization to have the first document updated with the first update information.

A display interface at a sending / receiving display terminal including the conventional implementations for reading and sending E-Mail with an implementation for organizing the text content of a chronological sequence of E-Mail documents having the same subject identifier or header. There is designated a subject identifier of one received electronic mail as a message text sequencer and there is an implementation at a receiving display station for enabling the display of a chronological sequence of the text of said received message and the text of all subsequent messages having said designated subject identifier. The designation of the identifier may automatically designate a subject identifier as a message text sequencer based upon user predetermined attributes. Such an implementation for automatically designating may include the combination of means for counting the number of messages having the same subject identifier within a predetermined period in combination with means for automatically designating the same subject identifier when said counted number reaches a predetermined value. In its simplest application, the predetermined value may be two, e.g. even two consecutive messages.

First communication information is received from a first communication session in a first communication medium. The first information has an associated first topic identifier. The first communication information may be a media stream, such as a voice media stream. Second communication information is received from a second communication session in a second communication medium associated with the first topic identifier. The first and second communication mediums are different communication mediums. The second communication session occurs after the first communication session has ended. For example, the second communication medium may be an email that occurs after a voice call has completed. The first information and the second information are stored in a first topic record based on the first topic identifier. A user can then access the topic record to view the first and second communication information for the topic.

Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for processing of a text string. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide for contextual, fuzzy recognition of text strings such as, for example, product or company names in user queries to an automated virtual assistant or search service. The recognition can be consider contextual as it can function even when the string is embedded, e.g., in a larger sentence, and it can be considered fuzzy as it does not require a perfect match with the catalog of strings or lists of entities available. Embodiments can also define the appropriate reaction of the automated system to ambiguous matches. Embodiments couple the identification of one or more ambiguous references to entities in text queries to a topic identifier and adapt the response of the automated system depending on the occurrence of ambiguous references.

Managing queue message processors is illustrated. Messages are partitioned in a queue into topic partitions. The topic partitions are defined by partition topic identifiers derived from data or metadata for the messages. Messages in the queue are assigned to message processors, in a set of message processors. The messages are assigned such that, absent changes to the set of message processors, messages in a given partition are assigned to the same message processor. The length of the queue is evaluated. The set of message processors is scaled based on the length of the queue.
