Answer Change Notifications Based on Changes to User Profile Information
First Claim
1. A method, in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and a memory comprising instructions that cause the at least one processor to implement an answer change notification system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the answer change notification system, a change operation to change a portion of a user profile data structure associated with a user;
identifying, by the answer change notification system, a first entry in a question and answer (QA) log data structure, corresponding to the user, having an indicator identifying a previous answer of the first entry as being dependent upon information in the user profile data structure;
resubmitting, by the answer change notification system, a question of the first entry to a question and answer (QA) system to generate a new answer to the question in response to identifying the entry;
receiving, by the answer change notification system, the new answer from the QA system; and
outputting, by the answer change notification system, to a client device associated with the user, a notification identifying the new answer to the question in response to receiving the new answer.

Abstract
Mechanisms are provided to implement an answer change notification system. The mechanisms receive a change operation to change a portion of a user profile data structure associated with a user and identify a first entry in a question and answer (QA) log data structure, corresponding to the user, having an indicator identifying a previous answer of the first entry as being dependent upon information in the user profile data structure. The mechanisms resubmit a question of the first entry to a question and answer (QA) system to generate a new answer to the question in response to identifying the entry. The mechanisms receive the new answer from the QA system and output, to a client device associated with the user, a notification identifying the new answer to the question in response to receiving the new answer.

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; receive a change operation to change a portion of a user profile data structure associated with a user; identify a first entry in a question and answer (QA) log data structure, corresponding to the user, having an indicator identifying a previous answer of the first entry as being dependent upon information in the user profile data structure; resubmit a question of the first entry to a question and answer (QA) system to generate a new answer to the question in response to identifying the entry; receive the new answer from the QA system; and output to a client device associated with the user, a notification identifying the new answer to the question in response to receiving the new answer.
