Priorities generation and management
First Claim
1. A priorities system, comprising:
- a classifier configured to assign priorities to one or more messages according to one or more degrees of classification;
a component that determines expected loss to a user of non-review of one or more messages based on at least determining likelihood that the user will review the one or more messages at a future time; and
a message subsystem associated with the classifier to process the one or more messages according to the assigned priorities.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a system (10, 200) and methodology (74) to enable a plurality of information associated with electronic messages, for example, to be automatically prioritized by a priorities system (12, 230) for transmittal to a user or system. The priorities system (12,230) can employ classifiers (20) that can be explicitly and/or implicitly trained to prioritize one or more received messages (14) according to a learned importance to the user. As an example, messages (14) can be classified as high, medium, low or other degrees of importance via a training set of examples (30) or types of messages having similar degrees of importance. A background monitor (34) can be provided to monitor a user'"'"'s activities regarding message processing to further refine or tune the classifier (20) according to the user'"'"'s personal decisions relating to message importance. Other priorities classifications can involve determinations relating to a loss associated with a time for delayed review or processing of the message.

1. A priorities system, comprising:
-
a classifier configured to assign priorities to one or more messages according to one or more degrees of classification; a component that determines expected loss to a user of non-review of one or more messages based on at least determining likelihood that the user will review the one or more messages at a future time; and a message subsystem associated with the classifier to process the one or more messages according to the assigned priorities. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method providing priorities generation and management, comprising,
training a classifier according to one or more categories of priority; - and
inputting one or more messages to the classifier to assign a priority value to the one or more messages based upon the one or more categories of priority, the priority is based on at least an expected cost to a user of non-review of one or more messages based on at least a determined probability that the user will review the one or more messages at a future time. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A system providing priorities generation and management, comprising,
means for learning a priority according to one or more categories of importance; -
means for determining expected loss to a user of non-review of one or more messages based on at least determining likelihood that the user will review the one or more messages at a future time; and means for assigning the priority to one or more messages based upon the one or more categories.

34. A notification system, comprising:
-
a priorities system to generate one or more priorities associated with one or more messages; a component that determines expected loss to a user of non-review of one or more messages based on at least determining likelihood that the user will review the one or more messages at a future time; and a notification platform to convey the one or more messages based at least in part on the one or more priorities generated by the priorities system.
