Abstract

A computer identifies at least one common content element used by each of at least two users from at least one communication by each of the at least two users. Responsive to one of the at least two users constructing content for a potential communication to the other of the at least two users, the computer accesses the at least one common content element for use by at least one content prediction service enabled for presenting one or more possible content elements comprising the at least one common content element for user selection during construction of the content for the potential communication.

Claims

1. A method for managing content available for content prediction, comprising:

storing, by a computer, one or more first content elements parsed from one or more first communications sent by a first user to one or more other users;

storing, by a computer, one or more second content elements parsed from one or more second communications received by the first user from a second user of the one or more other users;

identifying, by the computer, a union list comprising at least one common content element stored in both the one or more first content elements and the one or more second content elements by;

storing, by the computer, one or more first context elements identified from the one or more first communications with the one or more first content elements; and

storing, by the computer, one or more second context elements identified from the one or more second communications with the one or more second content elements;

responsive to the first user constructing content for a potential communication to at least the second user, accessing, by the computer, the union list comprising the at least one common content element for use by at least one content prediction service enabled to present one or more possible content elements comprising the at least one common content element for user selection during construction of the content for the potential communication;

filtering, by the computer, the one or more first context elements and the one or more second context elements in the at least one union list, according to at least one context identifier identified for the potential communication; and

responsive to the at least one context identifier identified for the potential communication changing to a second context identifier, filtering, by the computer, the one or more first context elements and the one or more second context elements in the at least one union list according to the second context identifier.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

identifying, by the computer, the one or more first context elements from the one or more first communications comprising at least one of an identifier of a device through which the one or more first communications is drafted, a project associated with the one or more first communications, and a marking embedded in the one or more first communications indicating at least one content element comprising the at least one common content element.

3. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

responsive to replacing one or more elements within the content for the potential communication with the at least one common content element, marking, by the computer, each element within the potential communication matching the at least one common content element with a common content element indicator tag embedded within the potential communication, such that the second user receiving the potential communication receives the potential communication with content determined for the first user as the at least one common content element marked with the common content element indicator.

4. The method according to claim 3, further comprising:

responsive to the second user receiving the first potential communication, identifying, by the computer, the at least one common content element identified by the common content element indicator tag; and

responsive to the second user constructing content for a second potential communication to at least the first user, accessing, by the computer, the at least one common content element identified by the common content element indicator tag from the first potential communication for use by at least one content prediction service enabled to present one or more possible content elements comprising the at least one common content element for user selection by the second user during construction of the content for the second potential communication.

5.

loading, by the computer, the union list comprising the at least one common content element into a cache; and

pushing, by the computer, at least one previously cached common content element from the cache to another storage location.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein responsive to the first user constructing content for a potential communication to at least the second user, accessing, by the computer, the union list comprising the at least one common content element for use by at least one content prediction service enabled to present one or more possible content elements comprising the at least one common content element for user selection during construction of the content for the potential communication further comprises:

adding the union list comprising the at least one common content element into a content prediction database accessed by the at least content prediction service when identifying one or more replacement content elements to present for user selection as the one or more possible content elements.

7. A system for managing content available for content prediction, comprising:

a computer, comprising at least one processor, configured to store one or more first content elements parsed from one or more first communications sent by a first user to one or more other users;

the computer configured to store one or more second content elements parsed from one or more second communications received by the first user from a second user of the one or more other users;

the computer, configured to identify a union list comprising at least one common content element stored in both the one or more first content elements and the one or more second content elements by;

storing, by the computer, one or more first context elements identified from the one or more first communications with the one or more first content elements; and

storing, by the computer, one or more second context elements identified from the one or more second communications with the one or more second content elements;

the computer, responsive to the first user constructing content for a potential communication to at least the second user, configured to access the union list comprising the at least one common content element for use by at least one content prediction service enabled to present one or more possible content elements comprising the at least one common content element for user selection during construction of the content for the potential communication;

the computer configured to filter the one or more first context elements and the one or more second context elements in the at least one union list, according to at least one context identifier identified for the potential communication;

the computer, responsive to the at least one context identifier identified for the potential communication changing to a second context identifier, configured to filter the one or more first context elements and the one or more second context elements in the at least one union list according to the second context identifier.

8. The system according to claim 7, wherein the computer, comprising at least one processor, configured to identify one or more context elements from the at least one communication further comprises:
