Messaging system having recipient profiling
First Claim
1. A data processing system, comprising:
- a plurality of messaging systems operated by a plurality of message senders for processing respective messages intended for recipients;
a data center data processing system in operative communication with the plurality of messaging systems for storing transaction data associated with each respective message processed by the messaging systems intended for the recipients;
a control system in operative communication with the data center for;
identifying selected relevant transaction data from among the transaction data corresponding to a defined recipient; and
using the selected relevant transaction data to generate a recipient profile of messages intended for the defined recipient that have been processed by the plurality of messaging systems, wherein;
the recipient profile includes segmentation information developed from the selected transaction data that organizes the messages intended for the defined recipient into categories, wherein;
the control system is further for;
using the segmentation information to develop inferences about the defined recipient in the recipient profile,wherein;
the plurality of messaging systems are operated by respective senders;
each respective sender has associated classification data indicating an industry segment that describes the respective sender'"'"'s activities; and
the control system is further for;
using the sender classification data to store an indication in the recipient profile of types of senders that originated the messages intended for the defined recipient.

Abstract
An information system includes a plurality of messaging systems, a data center and a control system. The plurality of messaging systems process respective messages intended for recipients. The data center is in operative communication with the plurality of messaging systems and stores transaction data associated with each respective message. The control system is in operative communication with the data center. The control system identifies selected transaction data from among the transaction data corresponding to a defined recipient and uses the selected transaction data to generate a recipient profile of messages intended for the defined recipient that have been processed by the plurality of messaging systems.

5. A memory system accessible by an application program being executed on a data processing system, comprising:
-
transaction data associated with a plurality of messages received from a plurality of message senders, the transaction data representative of respective messages processed by a plurality of messaging systems; selected relevant transaction data from among the transaction data corresponding to a defined recipient; and recipient profile data corresponding to the selected relevant transaction data from messages intended for the defined recipient that have been processed by the plurality of messaging systems, further comprising; segmentation data developed from the selected transaction data that organizes the messages intended for the defined recipient into categories, further comprising; inference data about the defined recipient developed from the segmentation data, further comprising; classification data, associated with respective senders that operate the plurality of messaging systems, indicating an industry segment that describes the respective senders'"'"'activities; and an indication in the recipient profile, based on the classification data, of types of respective senders that originated the messages intended for the defined recipient. - View Dependent Claims (6)
