Automatic Question Generation and Answering Based on Monitored Messaging Sessions
First Claim
1. A method, in a first computing device comprising a processor and a memory, for sharing content of one communication session with another communication session, the method comprising:
- establishing, by the first computing device, a first communication session between the first computing device and a second computing device, wherein the first computing device is operated by a first user and the second computing device is operated by a second user;
establishing, by the first computing device, in response to content of the first communication session indicating subject matter for which additional information is desired by at least one of the first user or the second user, a second communication session between the first computing device and a question and answer (QA) system; and
in response to an input by the first user to the first computing device requesting sharing of information of the first communication session with the second communication session, automatically copying, by the first computing device, a portion of content of the first communication session to the second communication session as an input question submitted to the QA system.

Abstract
Mechanisms are provided, in a first computing device, for sharing content of communication sessions. The mechanisms establish a first communication session between the first computing device and a second computing device. The first computing device is operated by a first user and the second computing device is operated by a second user. The apparatus establishes, in response to content of the first communication session indicating subject matter for which additional information is desired by at least one of the first user or the second user, a second communication session between the first computing device and a question and answer (QA) system. In response to an input by the first user requesting sharing of information, the first computing device automatically copies a portion of content of the first communication session to the second communication session as an input question submitted to the QA system.

11. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a first computing device, causes the first computing device to:
-
establish a first communication session between the first computing device and a second computing device, wherein the first computing device is operated by a first user and the second computing device is operated by a second user; establish, in response to content of the first communication session indicating subject matter for which additional information is desired by at least one of the first user or the second user, a second communication session between the first computing device and a question and answer (QA) system; and in response to an input by the first user to the first computing device requesting sharing of information of the first communication session with the second communication session, automatically copy a portion of content of the first communication session to the second communication session as an input question submitted to the QA system. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An apparatus comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; establish a first communication session between the apparatus and a first computing device, wherein the apparatus is operated by a first user and the first computing device is operated by a second user; establish, in response to content of the first communication session indicating subject matter for which additional information is desired by at least one of the first user or the second user, a second communication session between the apparatus and a question and answer (QA) system; and in response to an input by the first user to the apparatus requesting sharing of information of the first communication session with the second communication session, automatically copy a portion of content of the first communication session to the second communication session as an input question submitted to the QA system.
