System and method for managing digests comprising electronic messages
First Claim
1. A system for managing digests comprising electronic messages, comprising:
- a selection criteria module to define a selection criteria that defines message-based content for a digest;
a content module to define properties and characteristics of the content of the digest;
a delivery criteria input module to accept a delivery criteria that specifies periodic sending of the digest;
a construction module to construct the digest as a set of electronic messages, comprising;
a digest management module to monitor a dynamic stream of the electronic messages and to evaluate one or more of the electronic messages by filtering the electronic messages against the selection criteria; and
a digest information module to group only those electronic messages that satisfy the selection criteria into the digest to which the selection criteria corresponds; and
a delivery module to periodically deliver the digest upon satisfaction of the delivery criteria.

Abstract
A system and method for managing digests comprising electronic messages is presented. A selection criteria that defines message-based content for a digest is defined. Properties and characteristics of the content of the digest are defined. A delivery criteria that specifies periodic sending of the digest is accepted. The digest is constructed as a set of electronic messages. A dynamic stream of the electronic messages is monitored. One or more of the electronic messages is evaluated by filtering the electronic messages against the selection criteria. Only those electronic messages that satisfy the selection criteria are grouped into the digest to which the selection criteria corresponds. The digest is periodically delivered upon satisfaction of the delivery criteria.

13. A system for sampling electronic messages, comprising:
-
a sampling criteria module to define a sampling criteria that defines representative message-based content of electronic messages;
a delivery criteria input module to accept a delivery criteria that specifies whether each electronic message will be delivered;
an information stream module to monitor a dynamic stream of candidate electronic messages;
an extraction module to evaluate one or more of the candidate electronic messages by extracting the candidate electronic messages against the sampling criteria;
a sampling management module to choose only those candidate electronic messages that satisfy the sampling criteria;
a sampling selection module to identify sample messages from the chosen candidate electronic messages, comprising;
an evaluation module to evaluate one or more of the chosen candidate electronic messages against the delivery criteria; and
a sampling rule management module to select only those chosen candidate electronic messages that satisfy the delivery criteria; and
a delivery module to deliver the sample messages. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
