Abstract

Systems, methods and computer program products for providing information associated with an attachment (e.g., attachment received through an instant message system, online collaboration tool, electronic message and the like). A sidebar may allow a user to view comprehensive profile and content information associated with the attachment using an attachment information viewer. The sidebar also may allow the user to switch between a message attachment information view (e.g., to facilitate browsing of the document or attachment) and a person profile information view (e.g., to facilitate browsing of personal or public data).

Claims

1-17. -17. (canceled)

18. A method comprising:

identifying, by a processor, content on a first web page that is linked to or from within an email;

aggregating the content in a searchable database;

identifying an action of a user that relates to the content in the searchable database;

retrieving the related content; and

presenting, by a display, the related content to the user.

19. The method of claim 18, further comprising identifying content outside the first web page;

wherein the retrieving the related content includes retrieving the identified content outside the first web page, and wherein the presenting the related content to the user includes presenting the related content and the identified content to the user.

28. The method of claim 18, further comprising extracting a link present in the email.

29. The method of claim 28, wherein the email is sent by a first person, and the method further comprising developing a profile for the first person based on at least one keyword identified in an attachment to the email.

30. The method of claim 29, further comprising parsing the attachment in order to identify the at least one keyword.

31. The method of claim 18, further comprising storing, in the searchable database, information associated with an attachment to the email.

32. The method of claim 18, further comprising:

parsing the email to identify a keyword; and

creating a personal profile based on the identified keyword.

33. The method of claim 18, further comprising storing, in the searchable database, content obtained from a plurality of web pages, including the first web page, linked to by links present in the email.

34. The method of claim 18, further comprising distinguishing between content existing on the first web page when a link to the first web page is initially received in the email and content that exists on the first web page at a current time.

35. The method of claim 18, further comprising searching the searchable database for content including content in a body of the email, and displaying a search result that includes matching body text and content from the web page.

36. The method of claim 18, further comprising presenting a result of a keyword search of the searchable database alongside an advertisement placed in, next to, or near the result, wherein the advertisement is selected based on at least one keyword used to perform the keyword search.

37. The method of claim 18, further comprising analyzing content of the email and actions of the user including clicking on one or more links in the email in order to build a profile of the user.

20. A method comprising:

identifying a time period in which one or more messages are to be monitored;

monitoring one or more user actions of a user associated with the one or more messages;

developing, by a processor, training data based on the one or more monitored user actions; and

presenting, by a display, one or more subsequent messages to the user based on the training data.

21. The method of claim 20, wherein the monitoring one or more user actions of a user associated with the one or more messages includes:

determining which of the one or more messages are important to the user based on the one or more monitored user actions; and

identifying one or more characteristics associated with the determined messages.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein the determining which of the one or more messages are important to the user based on the one or more monitored user actions includes:

querying the user as to which of the one or more messages are important.

23. The method of claim 22, wherein the querying the user includes sending a short message service (SMS) text to a mobile device associated with the user.

24. The method of claim 21, wherein the developing training data based on the one or more monitored user actions includes developing training data based on the one or more identified characteristics.

25. The method of claim 24, wherein the presenting one or more subsequent messages to the user based on the training data includes:

identifying one or more messages among the one or more subsequent messages that contain the one or more identified characteristics; and

presenting the one or more identified messages to the user.

26. The method of claim 20, further comprising:

providing a template based on the training data for responding to one or more subsequent messages.

27. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

displaying a sidebar tool to facilitate a selection of a message attachment information view and a personal profile information view;

displaying content associated with one or more message attachments when the message attachment information view is selected; and

displaying personal or public data of one or more users associated with the one or more message attachments when the personal profile information view is selected.
