First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for presenting conversational history, the method implemented on a computing device and comprising:
- analyzing the conversational history for nouns that appear in the conversational history at a threshold frequency over a period of time;
generating, in response to the analyzing, a list of topics from the nouns that appear in the conversational history at the threshold frequency over the period of time;
associating communications within the conversational history with topics in the list of topics;
deriving a collaboration activity index as a function of at least a frequency of the communications of the conversational history associated with topics in the list of topics over the period of time;
mapping said collaboration activity index to a conversation timeline according to a timeline for said period of time; and
displaying said conversation timeline on a display screen as a histogram illustrating relative contributions of the topics of the list of topics to the conversational history as a function of time.

16. An apparatus comprising:
-
a memory; a display screen; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to; analyze a conversational history stored in the memory for nouns that appear in the conversational history at a threshold frequency over a period of time; generate a list of topics from the nouns that appear in the conversational history at the threshold frequency over the period of time; associate communications within the conversational history with topics in the list of topics; derive a collaboration activity index as a function of at least a frequency of the communications of the conversational history associated with topics in the list of over the period of time; map said collaboration activity index to a conversation timeline according to a timeline for said period of time; and display said conversation timeline on the display screen as a histogram illustrating relative contributions of the topics of the list of topics to the conversational history as a function of time. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A tangible, non-transitory medium storing instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, are operable to:
-
analyze a conversational history stored in a memory for nouns that appear in the conversational history at a threshold frequency over a period of time; generate a list of topics from the nouns that appear in the conversational history at the threshold frequency over the period of time; associate communications within the conversational history with topics in the list of topics; derive a collaboration activity index as a function of at least a frequency of the communications of the conversational history associated with topics in the list of over the period of time; map said collaboration activity index to a conversation timeline according to a timeline for said period of time; and display said conversation timeline on a display screen as a histogram illustrating relative contributions of the topics of the list of topics to the conversational history as a function of time. - View Dependent Claims (20)
