AUTOMATIC SIGNIFICANCE TAGGING OF INCOMING COMMUNICATIONS
First Claim
1. A system for automatically assigning significance levels to incoming communications, comprising:
- a classification component that receives one or more incoming communications and assigns a tag to each incoming communication;
a ranking component that prioritizes each incoming communication based in part on the assigned tag; and
a presentation component that selectively outputs the incoming communication based on the prioritization.

Abstract
As incoming communications are received, a priority or significance level can be assigned to each communication. A communication determined to have a high priority can be presented to a user at substantially the same time as receiving the communication. A communication having a low priority can be placed in a low priority folder or flagged differently from a high priority communication (e.g., different color-coding). Behavior of a user as it relates to a received communication can be observed for learning purposes or to modify one or more classifications or priority levels.

13. A method for automatically managing incoming communications, comprising:
-
receiving a first communication; observing a behavior of a recipient on the first communication; receiving a second communication; determining if the second communication is similar to the first incoming communication; and selectively applying the observed behavior to the first communication or the second communication or both communications. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-implemented system for automatically tagging an incoming communication with a significance level, comprising:
-
means for receiving an communication; means for comparing the communication with a previously received communication; means for prioritizing the communication based on the comparison; and means for selectively outputting the communication to a user based on the prioritization. - View Dependent Claims (20)
