Abstract

Techniques to convert multi-party conversations to an editable document are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a message queue monitoring component operative to monitor a messaging conversation between two or more messaging participants; and analyze the messaging conversation based on a plurality of domain-specific extractors; a domain selector component operative to determine that a domain detection level for a selected extractor exceeds a threshold; and a document component operative to generate an editable document based on the messaging conversation using the selected extractor and assign access permissions to the editable document automatically to the two or more messaging participants. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

monitoring a messaging conversation between two or more messaging participants;

analyzing the messaging conversation based on a plurality of domain-specific extractors;

determining that a domain detection level for a selected extractor exceeds a threshold;

generating an editable document based on the messaging conversation using the selected extractor.

2. The method of claim 1, comprising:

determining a domain-relevant relationship between the two or more messaging participants, the domain-relevant relationship associated with the selected extractor; and

determining that the domain detection level for the selected extractor exceeds the threshold using a lower-requirement threshold based on the determining of the domain-relevant relationship between the two or more messaging participants.

3. The method of claim 1, comprising:

displaying an editable document notification on one or more client devices corresponding to one or more of the two or more messaging participants in response to generating the editable document based on the messaging conversation using the selected extractor.

4. The method of claim 1, comprising:

assigning access permissions to the editable document automatically to the two or more messaging participants.

5. The method of claim 1, comprising:

determining an importance ranking for the two or more messaging participants; and

assigning editing permissions to the editable document based on the importance ranking.

6. The method of claim 5, the two or more messaging participants comprising at least a lower-ranked participant and a higher-ranked participant, the editable document comprising a document portion generated based on a higher-ranked participant message, wherein the lower-ranked participant of the two or more messaging participants is blocked from editing the document portion generated based on the higher-ranked participant message.

7. The method of claim 1, comprising:

receiving a relevance extinction time for the messaging conversation from the selected extractor; and

assigning an auto-deletion time to the editable document based on the relevance extinction time.

8. The method of claim 1, the plurality of domain-specific extractors corresponding to a plurality of domains, the plurality of domains comprising two or more of a social events domain, a design document domain, a user interface design domain, a design ideas domain, a strategy document domain, and a coordination plan domain.

9. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor circuit on a device;

a message queue monitoring component operative on the processor circuit to monitor a messaging conversation between two or more messaging participants; and

analyze the messaging conversation based on a plurality of domain-specific extractors;

a domain selector component operative to determine that a domain detection level for a selected extractor exceeds a threshold; and

a document component operative to generate an editable document based on the messaging conversation using the selected extractor and assign access permissions to the editable document automatically to the two or more messaging participants.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising:

the domain selector component operative to determine a domain-relevant relationship between the two or more messaging participants, the domain-relevant relationship associated with the selected extractor; and

determine that the domain detection level for the selected extractor exceeds the threshold using a lower-requirement threshold based on the determining of the domain-relevant relationship between the two or more messaging participants.

11. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising:

the document component operative to instruct a display of an editable document notification on one or more client devices corresponding to one or more of the two or more messaging participants in response to generating the editable document based on the messaging conversation using the selected extractor.

12. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising:

the document component operative to determine an importance ranking for the two or more messaging participants, the two or more messaging participants comprising at least a lower-ranked participant and a higher-ranked participant; and

assign editing permissions to the editable document based on the importance ranking, the editable document comprising a document portion generated based on a higher-ranked participant message, wherein the lower-ranked participant of the two or more messaging participants is blocked from editing the document portion generated based on the higher-ranked participant message.

13. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising:

the document component operative to receive a relevance extinction time for the messaging conversation from the selected extractor; and

assign an auto-deletion time to the editable document based on the relevance extinction time.

14. The apparatus of claim 9, the plurality of domain-specific extractors corresponding to a plurality of domains, the plurality of domains comprising two or more of a social events domain, a design document domain, a user interface design domain, a design ideas domain, a strategy document domain, and a coordination plan domain.

15. At least one computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:

monitor a messaging conversation between two or more messaging participants;

analyze the messaging conversation based on a plurality of domain-specific extractors;

determine that a domain detection level for a selected extractor exceeds a threshold;

generate an editable document based on the messaging conversation using the selected extractor; and

assign access permissions to the editable document automatically to the two or more messaging participants.

16. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, comprising further instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:

determine a domain-relevant relationship between the two or more messaging participants, the domain-relevant relationship associated with the selected extractor; and

determine that the domain detection level for the selected extractor exceeds the threshold using a lower-requirement threshold based on the determining of the domain-relevant relationship between the two or more messaging participants.

17. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, comprising further instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:

display an editable document notification on one or more client devices corresponding to one or more of the two or more messaging participants in response to generating the editable document based on the messaging conversation using the selected extractor.

18. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, comprising further instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:

determine an importance ranking for the two or more messaging participants, the two or more messaging participants comprising at least a lower-ranked participant and a higher-ranked participant; and

assign editing permissions to the editable document based on the importance ranking, the editable document comprising a document portion generated based on a higher-ranked participant message, wherein the lower-ranked participant of the two or more messaging participants is blocked from editing the document portion generated based on the higher-ranked participant message.

19. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, comprising further instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:

receive a relevance extinction time for the messaging conversation from the selected extractor; and

assign an auto-deletion time to the editable document based on the relevance extinction time.

20. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, the plurality of domain-specific extractors corresponding to a plurality of domains, the plurality of domains comprising two or more of a social events domain, a design document domain, a user interface design domain, a design ideas domain, a strategy document domain, and a coordination plan domain.
