Abstract

In one general sense, display of content communicated by a sender communication device to a destination communication device may be enabled by receiving, at a destination communication device, content to be displayed by the destination communication device. Characteristics of a display of the received content by the destination communication device may be algorithmically identified in accordance with display configuration settings for the destination communication device. Based on the identified characteristics, at least one change to be made to capture configuration settings at a capturing communication device used to capture the received content may be identified. At least one alternative capture configuration setting may be communicated to the capturing communication device. Content that is captured by the capturing communication device is received at the destination communications device based on the alternative capture configuration setting communicated.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

monitoring, using at least one processor, a plurality of communication sessions of a user;

identifying, based on the monitored communication sessions, one or more actions frequently used by the user;

providing the user a prompt associated with the identified one or more actions, wherein the prompt includes an option to automate the identified one or more actions; and

if the user selects the option to automate the identified one or more actions, automating the identified one or more actions in association with one or more subsequent communication sessions of the user.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising presenting, to the user, one or more of the identified one or more frequently used actions.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the one or more frequently used actions comprises identifying an action that occur at least a threshold number of times.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the one or more frequently used actions comprises identifying an action that occur at least at a threshold frequency.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the one or more frequently used actions comprises identifying the one or more actions frequently used by the user in monitored communication sessions between the user and another user.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a response to the prompt, from the user, to automate the identified one or more frequently used actions.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing an option to the user to edit one or more of the automated identified one or more frequently used actions.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the option comprises an option to add, edit, or remove an action from the one or more frequently used actions.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein prompting the user to automate the identified one or more frequently used actions occurs in response to identifying a threshold number of consecutive communication sessions where the user repeated the one or more frequently used actions.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the one or more frequently used actions comprises identifying the one or more actions frequently used by the user that occur on a particular device.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the particular device is a mobile device.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the automated identified one or more frequently used actions are specific to a particular application.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the automated identified one or more frequently used actions are specific to a particular user or group of users.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the automated identified one or more frequently used actions are specific to a particular communication type.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the particular communication type comprises one of email, text chat, instant messaging, voice-over-IP, or video conferencing.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein the identifying the one or more frequently used actions comprises identifying the one or more actions frequently used by the user based on the monitored communication sessions occurring at a time of day.

17. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to;

monitor, by at least one processor, a plurality of communication sessions of a user with a group of users;

identify, based on the monitored communication sessions with the group of users, a series of actions frequently used by the user;

provide the user a prompt associated with the identified series of actions, wherein the prompt includes an option to automate the identified series of actions; and

upon the user selecting the option to automate the identified series of actions, automate the identified series of actions in association with one or more subsequent communication sessions of the user with the group of users.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the automated identified series of frequently used actions are specific to a particular communication type.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a set of instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computer system to perform the steps comprising:

monitoring, using at least one processor, a plurality of communication sessions of a user;

identifying, based on the monitored communication sessions, one or more actions frequently used by the user;

providing the user a prompt associated with the identified one or more actions, wherein the prompt includes an option to automate the identified one or more actions; and

if the user selects the option to automate the identified one or more actions, automating the identified one or more actions in association with one or more subsequent communication sessions of the user.

20. The computer-readable medium of claim 19, wherein providing the prompt to automate the identified one or more frequently used actions occurs in response to identifying a threshold number of consecutive communication sessions where the user repeated the one or more frequently used actions.
