Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and control systems to provide a platform to facilitate implementation of an interface as a computerized tool, among other things, and, more specifically, to a computing and data platform that implements logic to facilitate moderation of electronic messages, postings, content, etc., via implementation of a moderator application configured to, for example, perform one or more actions automatically.
Advances in computing hardware and software have fueled exponential growth in delivery of vast amounts of information due to increased improvements in computational and networking technologies. Also, advances in conventional data network technologies provide an ability to exchange increasing amounts of generated data via various electronic messaging platforms. Thus, improvements in computing hardware, software, network services, and storage have bolstered growth of Internet-based messaging applications, such as social networking platforms and applications, especially in an area of exchanging digital information concerning products and services to facilitate customer care operations, as well as online communities. For example, various organizations and corporations (e.g., retailer sellers) may exchange information through any number of electronic messaging networks, including social media networks. Such entities aim to respond quickly and efficiently to messages from customers (and potential customers) to manage brand loyalty and reputation, and to bolster customer engagement.
And since different customers prefer communicating over different communication channels (e.g., social media networked channels and communities of electronic messages) and various different data networks, traditional customer-relationship management (“CRM”) computing systems and processes are not well-suited to adapt to engage and moderate communities of customers and associated computing devices at convenience of the customers “on-the-go.”
Social media networks and communities can be found in widespread use as there are many different types and categories often reaching as many as a billion or more users, electronic messages, or units of content, which include various types of content, such as pictures, text, video, audio, multimedia, or any combination thereof. Social media networks and communities are increasingly prolific and can range in scope, size, interest, and reach. Social media networks and communities, in some cases, can be integrated with websites, platforms, or other online properties for specific interests or purposes, which may be social, commercial, governmental, educational, academic, professional, technical, etc.
Various social media networks, websites, and communities can require communities of content to meet certain standards, terms, or conditions that are social, cultural, or legal in nature, which require compliance and, consequently, can often reduce or limit what content may be posted online. Generally, profane or hateful content, threatening content, perjurious commercial speech, and the like, may violate policies and terms of use of a community, which, if unmoderated, can result in social detriment, legal liability, breach of cultural values and mores (e.g., alongside laws, rules, and regulations), or other deleterious effects. In other cases, fraudulent product reviews may damage the online goodwill and perceived value of a company and its products.
To enforce compliance and avoid inappropriate content from being posted into a community of content and electronic messages, traditional social media networks and communities implement conventional social media networks, platforms, platform technologies, and software to monitor, moderate, and manage content and electronic message prior to posting. Conventionally, employees or other personnel (e.g., of various social media networks, platforms, platform providers, and software developers that provide products or services) may be required, as moderators, to read, review, or otherwise scrutinize content intended to be posted to one or more social media networks, or to online communities and groups.
Moderators may be required to review and act on hundreds, thousands, or perhaps hundreds of thousands of items, uploads, or other postings (e.g., electronic posts, messages, units of content, etc.) to ensure compliance with terms (e.g., terms of use), conditions, policies, laws, regulations, rules, and the like. However, conventional moderation techniques and software, including those integrated with existing social media management platforms are generally inefficient, expensive, time-consuming, and usually cumbersome to maintain given the increasing amounts of posting submissions.
Various drawbacks to traditional techniques to moderation using known computing devices and software can often lead to fatigue, resulting in lapses in focus, inadvertent posts, errors, and the like, which may create significant cost and effort to correct. Erroneously moderated content, which may result in propagation of unmoderated content, can also detrimentally affect cohesiveness, trustworthiness, reliability, and reputations of online communities. Further, suboptimal moderation techniques using computing devices and moderator software may increase risk of civil and criminal penalties for unmoderated speech or content that is regulated by law (e.g., violations of Americans with Disabilities Act, or “ADA”). In addition, incorrect or suboptimal content posted into a community may cause customer frustration and dissatisfaction, which can typically be projected negatively unto a corporation and its brand.
Thus, what is needed is a solution for facilitating techniques that optimize computer utilization and performance associated with moderating content and/or electronic messages, without the limitations of conventional techniques.

References to various layers of an application architecture (e.g., application layer or data layer) may refer to a stacked layer application architecture such as the Open Systems Interconnect (“OSI”) model or others.
In some examples, systems, software, platforms, and computing clouds, or any combination thereof, may be implemented to facilitate online “communities” of subsets of units of content, postings, electronic messages, and the like. In some cases, units of content, electronic postings, electronic messages, and the like may originate at social networks, social media, and social applications, or any other source of content.
Diagram 100 depicts an entity computing system 150 including a user interface 120 and a computing device 152 (e.g., one or more servers, including one or more processors and/or memory devices), both of which may be configured to moderate electronic messages and implement any number of actions to facilitate the moderation of such messages based on logic disposed in electronic message platform 160. As shown, computing device 152 may be configured, in at least one example, to provide one or more software functionalities and/or hardware structures to implement a community syndication controller 161, a message management controller 162, and a message moderation engine 164.
Community syndication controller 161 may be configured to host an online community to facilitate an electronic exchange of information and data among a group of users with related interests, goals, questions, problems, suggestions, experiences, etc., regarding one or more products, one or more services, or any other one or more topics or subject matter-related issues, or the like. Further, community syndication controller 161 may be configured to interact electronically with message moderation engine 164, which may be configured to moderate or filter (e.g., for approval) exchanges or postings of electronic messages in a moderated online community regardless of data formats (e.g., as a blog, a website, an email, a text message, or the like). Message management controller 162 may include logic configured to manage electronic interactions and messages among an online community as well as any other sources of data (e.g., online chat sessions, electronic messages directed to an entity rather than a community, or the like). In at least one example, community syndication controller 161 may be implemented with at least some functionality provided by an application configured to operate in accordance with Lithium Community technologies (formally of Lithium Technologies, LLC), Khoros® Communities of Khoros, LLC of Austin Tex., and “Atlas” Communities of Khoros, LLC of Austin Tex., among other online community configurations. Further, message management controller 162 may be implemented using at least some functionality provided by an application configured to operate in accordance with “Modern Chat”-related technologies and “Khoros Care”-related technologies, both of Khoros, LLC of Austin Tex., among other technologies.
In some examples, a subset of an electronic community (e.g., online community) may include any number of electronic messages or posts that may relate to each other by subject matter or any other classification. As an example, an online community may be subdivided based on whether content relates to a “forum” (e.g., content directed to resolving a problem), an “idea” (e.g., content directed to proposed suggestions related to any item, such as a product), a “frequently-asked question” (e.g., content directed to searchable solutions that are determined to be effective), an “expert” classification (e.g., directed to users or electronic accounts associated with expert-based content), a “knowledge base” of searchable solutions to user inquiries, and any other classification or categorization.
Electronic messages may originate at any computing devices 109a to 109d, which are respectively associated with users 108a to 108d. In the example shown, user 108a may be associated with one or more computing devices, such as mobile computing device 105a or any type of computing device 109a, user 108b may be associated with one or more computing devices, such as mobile computing device 105b or any type of computing device 109b, user 108c may be associated with one or more computing devices, such as mobile computing device 105c or any type of computing device 109c, and user 108d may be associated with one or more computing devices, such as mobile computing device 105d or any type of computing device 109d. Note that any number of mobile and other types of computing devices may be configured to transmit and/or receive messages and are not limited to those shown. Any of mobile computing devices 105a to 105d and any of computing devices 109a to 109d may be configured to generate electronic messages to, for example, initiate moderation of those messages for inclusion in one or more data arrangements (e.g., in data storage) that constitute or implement an online community of messages.
Any one or more of message network computing systems 110a and 110b (including one or more applications) may be configured to receive and transmit electronic messages, regardless of a context, to convey an inquiry, experience, observation, request for assistance (e.g., in relation to a product or service), or any other information with or among any number of users for any reason. Such messages and content may be directed to resolving a problem via an inquiry, to providing experienced advice or suggestions (e.g., as an expert), to provide observations as an idea to, for example, improve a product or a service, to request for assistance, or to exchange any information among users 108a to 108d, whereby electronic message platform 160 and/or community syndication controller 161 may be configured to host and moderate, for example, peer-to-peer exchanges of messages using message moderation engine 164. Similarly, or equivalently, one or more of message network computing systems 110a and 110b may be configured to communicate electronic message content in any form in any digital media or channel 107a. Also, one or more computing systems 113a and 113b may be configured to communicate electronic message content in any form in any digital media or channel 107a. Also, electronic message platform 160, community syndication controller 161, and/or message moderation engine 164 may be configured to moderate electronic message content originating at computing systems 113a and 113b as well as message network computing systems 110a and 110b.
Note that in some examples, channels 107a may be publicly-accessible channels, whereas channels 107b may constitute secure, private, and/or and proprietary communication channels. As such, mobile computing devices 105a to 105d and computing devices 109a to 109d may be configured to submit electronic messages for posting in an online community via a secure data channel 107b.
In various examples, message network computing systems 110a and 110b may include any number of computing systems configured to propagate electronic messaging, including, but not limited to, computing systems including third party servers, such as third parties like Facebook™, Twitter™, LinkedIn™, Instagram™, Snapchat™ as well as other private or public social networks to provide social-media related informational data exchange services. Hence, message network computing systems 110a and 110b may include any social network computing system. Computing systems 113a and 113b (including one or more applications, such as text messaging applications) may be configured to provide any type of digital content, such as email, text messaging (e.g., via SMS messaging, Multimedia Messaging Service (“MMS”), WhatsApp™, WeChat™ Apple® Business Chat™, Instagram™ Direct Messenger, etc.), web pages (e.g., Facebook® websites and posts, Instagram® websites and posts, Twitter® websites and posts, etc.), audio (e.g., Spotify®-based content, etc.), video (e.g., YouTube™-based content, etc.), and any other content.
According to some examples, message network computing systems 110a and 110b may include applications or executable instructions configured to facilitate interactions (e.g., social interactions) amongst one or more persons, one or more subpopulations (e.g., private groups or public groups), or the public at-large. Examples of message network computing systems 110a and 110b may include the above-mentioned electronic accounts for Facebook™, Twitter™, LinkedIn™, Instagram™, and Snapchat™, as well as YouTube™, Pinterest™, Tumblr™, WhatsApp™ messaging, or any other platform, including Khoros® community, that may be configured to promote sharing of content, such as videos, audio, or images, as well as sharing ideas, thoughts, etc. in a socially-based environment, such as an online community moderated by implementing structures and functions of a message moderation engine 164 and/or any other component of electronic message platform 160 or entity computer system 150. According to some examples, content source computing systems 113a and 113b may include applications or executable instructions configured to promote an activity, such as a sports television network, a profession sports team, a news or media organization, a product producing or selling organization, and the like, or to promote sales or acquisition of goods or services. Content source computing systems 113a and 113b may implement websites, email, chat bots (e.g., “bots”), or any other digital communication channels, and may further implement electronic accounts to convey information via message network computing systems 110a and 110b.
In some examples, structures and/or functions of message network computing systems 110a and 110b and content source computing systems 113a and 113b may be implemented to operate similarly or equivalently as each other. Any electronic message may include a “tweet” (e.g., a message via a Twitter™ computing system), a “post” (e.g., a message via a Facebook™ computing system), or any other type of social network-based messages, along with any related functionalities, such as forwarding a message (e.g., “retweeting” via Twitter™), sharing a message, associating an endorsement of another message (e.g., “liking” a message, such as a Tweet™, or sharing a Facebook™ post, etc.), and any other interaction that may convey or otherwise may generate a “response” or electronic posts to an online community from one or more electronic accounts at relatively increased rates of transmissions or propagation to address concerns or statements that may otherwise affect a reputation of a brand. As such, message moderation engine 164 may be configured to moderate electronic posts to ensure compliance with policies, terms of use, legal regulations, and any other rule. According to various examples, an electronic message received via a network 111 can include any type of digital messaging that can be transmitted over any digital network (e.g., the Internet, etc.).
Entity computing system 150 is shown to include a computing device 120 and display configured to generate a user interface, such as a message moderation interface 122. Entity computing system 150 may also include a server computing device 152, which may include hardware and software, or a combination thereof, configured to implement an electronic message platform 160 configured to moderate a queue of electronic messages based on a user input that may be configured to perform multiple actions. In some examples, a user input to perform multiple actions may be a common user input, which may include a common gesture, such as a movement or interaction of one or more portions of a user 121 (e.g., a motion of a finger in one direction, and, optionally a reverse direction). Hence, a gesture, as a user input into a gesture-based interface, may facilitate moderation of electronic messages 130 and 134, at least in some examples. In various examples, user 121 may be an agent acting in a role of a “moderator,” or as a user in any other function or role (e.g., a supervisory moderator, a quality control moderator, etc.).
Message moderation engine 164 may be configured to include logic to cause generation of a message moderation interface 122 at a computing device 120 to facilitate moderation or filtering of one or more electronic messages. Message moderation interface 122 may be configured to receive user input 124 to activate or enable automatic disposition (e.g., “auto disposition”) or automatic application of an action, such as automatically approving an unmoderated electronic message as one or more portions of an electronic message translates (e.g., visually moves or scrolls) to a specific position relative to a portion of interface 122. For example, automatic approval of an unmoderated electronic message may be implemented when any or all portions of a message transitions into a post-view set of messages 127b (e.g., responsive to a gesture). According to some examples, message moderation engine 164 may include logic that constitutes a computer program or set of executable instructions for a moderator application.
In some examples, message moderation engine 164 may be configured to access unmoderated electronic messages 130 and 134 for disposition in a queue 124 of electronic messages for moderation. As shown, message moderation interface 122 may include a viewable area bounded by a distance 123 over which one or more images of an electronic post may be accessed, reviewed, and acted upon, according to various examples. Distance 123 may be a function of a direction of, for example a gesture or user input. A viewable area of interface 122 may correlate to a coordinate system or a grid of pixels relative to, for example, a reference 125. Note, too, that viewable area of interface 122 may represent a display field or matrix of pixels. As an example, a position of a generated image that may be presented or displayed within message moderation interface 122 may be referenced relative to a reference point 125. Reference point 125 may serve as an origin (e.g., having a coordinate of 0,0) for a Y-axis and an X-axis. Thus, values of Y may extend from Yn (e.g., a minimum Y value) adjacent a bottom edge of message moderation interface 122 to Yx (e.g., a maximum Y value) adjacent a top edge of message moderation interface 122. Further, values of X may extend from Xn (e.g., a minimum X value) adjacent a left edge to Xx (e.g., a maximum X value) adjacent a right edge of message moderation interface 122. Note that descriptions, as shown, of a “bottom” edge (i.e., at which Y is Yn, such as a “0th” pixel value), a “top” edge (i.e., at which Y is Yx, such as a “1920th” pixel value), a “right” edge, and a “left” edge are not intended to be restrictive, but rather, descriptive of an example of delineations between, for example, non-viewable content and viewable content of a queue 124 of electronic messages 140 to 146, as applied to a moderator application.
According to some examples, a moderator application may be configured to establish queue 124 of electronic messages 140 to 146, and filter queue 124 of one or more electronic messages (e.g., unmoderated electronic messages) to identify whether to apply an one or more actions (e.g., at least one of which may be performed automatically) in association one of electronic messages 140 to 146 (e.g., unmoderated electronic messages). In at least one implementation, a moderator application (e.g., message moderator engine 164) may be configured to identify data representing each of electronic messages 140 to 146 to generate images for presentation in message moderation interface 122. In the example shown, queue 124 of electronic messages may represent data stored in memory that constitutes queue 124, whereby image data representing electronic message 140 and a portion of electronic message 141 may, at a point of time (e.g., prior to a user input), be associated with a non-viewable region, such as one of pre-view messages 127a (e.g., prior to presentation in message moderation interface 122). Also, image data representing electronic message 146 and a portion of electronic message 145 may also be a non-viewable region, such as one of post-view messages 127b (e.g., subsequent to presentation in message moderation interface 122). Note, however, electronic messages 142, 143, and 144 are viewable as presented or displayed in message moderation interface 122.
A user input signal may originate at computing device 120 that is configured to implement a user interface as a computerized tool (or a distributed portion thereof), whereby a user input signal may be received into a moderator application (e.g., message moderation engine 164) to facilitate a moderated action. In some examples, a moderated action may be configured to cause assignment of an approved state automatically to an electronic message, thereby “automatically” approving the electronic message. For example, an approved state may indicate that unmoderated content is transformed into moderated content, thus approved content. According to some implementations, a user input signal may be configured to cause presentation and termination of one or more portions of an electronic message, whereby the user input signal may originate from a user input (e.g., a common user input, such as a single or unitary input with which to perform an automatic action, or multiple automatic actions).
In at least one example, a user input signal may originate from a gesture-based user input, such as a touch-sensitive screen or display, a touch-sensitive pad (e.g., a touch pad), or any other gesture-based user input as well as any other type of user input (e.g., other than gesture-based user inputs). In diagram 100, user inputs may be represented as implementing, for example, scrolling inputs 126a and 126b in one direction (e.g., scrolling from a bottom edge to a top edge), whereas scrolling input 126c may represent implementation of a common user input in, for example, a reverse direction (e.g., scrolling from a top edge toward a bottom edge). According to some examples, scrolling inputs 126a to 126b may be effectuated by detecting movement of a finger in a specific direction in association with a touch-sensitive user input (or any other gesture-based user input, including contactless gesture interfaces).
Further to the example set forth in diagram 100, consider that electronic message 143 (i.e., Post #0399) may originate in pre-view message region 127a of queue 124. Responsive to a user input 126a (or one or more user inputs 126a of a common user input), electronic message 143 may transition (e.g., from a non-accessible, but viewable state) to an accessible state. In some examples, user input 126a may cause an image of electronic message 143 to transition from a first region (or position) to a second region (or position). Upon transitioning into an accessible state, electronic message 143 may be identified using a given color, shape, size, or any other visual or perceptible indicator 148. As such, different types of indicators may be used and are not limited solely to those that are visual. In an accessible state, electronic message 143 may be associated with a subset of one or more user other inputs 147, which may be activated to perform one or more alternative actions. For example, a moderator 121 may identify an issue with electronic message 143 and activate a user input to, for example, reject, modify (e.g., edit), or forward electronic message 143, whereby a forwarded message may be transmitted to a specialized or supervisory moderator. Or, other user inputs 147 may be configured to implement any other action. Upon implementation of an alternative action, notifications of rejections, modifications, and the like may be transmitted via messages 132 and 136 to originating computing devices 105 and 109 that may have submitted an electronic message or post.
An alternative action may be activated responsive, for example, to non-compliant or violative content. For example, moderator 121 may cause a gesture indicative of a disapproved or rejected electronic message or post as violating one or more policies or, perhaps, a specific policy or term or use (e.g., content contains hate-related speech, includes pornographic images, includes prurient content, or the like). The gesture (e.g., a touch-sensitive user input, or scrolling using a mouse or scroll wheel) may indicate that an electronic message or post is to be moved within a given region of an interface 122. In response, the electronic message or post may be deleted and message 132 or 136 is sent back to the submitting user 108 indicating deletion/refusal and, in some examples, a specific policy, rule, or regulation that indicates why the electronic message or post has been refused for posting during a moderation process.
Note, however, if moderator 121 or message moderation interface 122 of computing device 120 do not cause activation of an alternative action in an accessible state, then another user input 126b may cause electronic message 143 to exit the accessible state. Responsive to a user input 126b (or one or more user inputs 126b of a common user input), electronic message 143 may transition (e.g., from an accessible and viewable state) to a non-accessible state, or to an approved state automatically (e.g., using a common user input or gesture). In some examples, user input 126b may cause an image of electronic message 143 to transition from a second region (or position) to a third region (or position), whereby the transition relative to the third region may cause an automatic action to be applied to electronic message 143 (e.g., an action to automatically approve electronic message 143, or to automatically apply any other default or predicted action).
In some examples, a moderator application (e.g., message moderation engine 104) may be configured to detect one or more user inputs 126c, which may be a common user input (e.g., same as user inputs 126a and 126b), but optionally in a different or reverse direction. For example, a common user input may be a “moving” or “scrolling” gesture relative to, for example, a touch-sensitive user input. As such, user inputs 126a, 126b, and 126c may be implemented using the same gesture or user input regardless of direction (e.g., user input 126c may be in a reverse direction relative to user inputs 126a and 126b). User input 126c (and associated signal) may be configured to cause presentation of any portion of an electronic message, such as electronic message 143, in message moderation interface 122 subsequent to scrolling that message into a post-view message region 127b. As such, user input 126c may be configured to cause re-display of at least a portion of electronic message 143, which had been previously approved automatically. In some examples, user input 126c may cause electronic message 143 to enter a review state in which moderator 121 may review a previously-approved electronic message. Subsequently, after a review of re-displayed electronic message 143, user inputs 126b may be implemented to again approve automatically that message for publication into a community of electronic messages and posts.
In view of the foregoing, structures and/or functionalities depicted in
According to one or more examples, a moderation application and its functionalities (as well as any other functionalities described herein) are configured to reduce user behavior required to moderate content for posting to one or more social media networks, using one or more software platforms on computing devices over one or more distributed data networks (e.g., cloud-based data networks) to review, approve, reject, or perform other actions automatically on individual electronic messages submitted for posting without performing active actions (e.g., mouse or button clicks, or employing multiple different inputs in a touch-sensitive interface). Rather, a moderation application may be implemented to employ a gesture-based user interface to correlate a user input (e.g., a common user input) to select and approve actions to be performed automatically based on values of the user input. As such, an electronic message may be automatically approved without requiring different manual user inputs, thereby obviating a need to select an “approve” user input interface element.
Implementation of a moderator application, as described herein, may reduce or negate fatigue that otherwise may afflict moderators 121, which, in turn, may reduce or negate lapses of focus, inadvertent posts, errors, and the like. This may enhance user efficiency and accelerate a moderation process. Therefore, a moderation application may effectuate a computerized tool that may reduce cost and resources that otherwise may be necessitated to, for example, review and correct posts. Further, a moderator application may facilitate preservation of the reputation, trustworthiness, and reliability of an online community.
Note that message moderation interface 122 may implement, for example, functionalities provided by Khoros® Manage View user interface and a Khoros® Community software platform. Any of described elements or components set forth in
Diagram 200 depicts a message moderation engine 264 including a queue manager 271, an image generator 272, a moderation processor 274, and an action generator 280. Queue manager 271 may include logic configured to manage storage of unmoderated electronic messages 201a in unmoderated message data repository 202. Further, queue manager 271 may also include logic configured to fetch data representing unmoderated messages from repository 202 for image processing to display a formatted electronic message as part of a queue of electronic messages under moderation, as displayed in a moderator user interface. In accordance with some embodiments, queue manager 271 may be configured to arrange electronic messages for moderation as a function of a message attribute, such as a level of priority, or any other message attribute.
Image generator 272 may include logic configured to receive data representing unmoderated messages from queue manager 271, whereby the logic may be further configured to generate a queue of electronic messages including any type of content, such as text, audio, video, graphics, etc. In some examples, image generator 272 may generate data representing a queue of electronic messages including viewable and non-viewable imagery in preparation for display in a user interface. As shown, image generator 272 may include an image display controller 273 that may be configured to receive data representing values of user input data from a user input 210 associated with a user interface. Responsive to user input data, image display controller 273 may be configured to cause presentation of electronic messages, and portions thereof, in a viewable area of a user interface so as to facilitate moderation.
In some examples, user input 210 may be configured to generate gesture-based user input data (e.g., that can be embodied in an associated user input data signal). As such, user input 210 may be activated based on any number of gestures, such as scrolling, pinching, and tapping, as well as tipping, shaking, or tilting a device, among other gestures. In some examples, a gesture-based user input may be activated responsive to eye movement (e.g., eye-gaze tracking), or to motion of any part of a user (e.g., with or without direct contact).
Moderation processor 274 may include a gesture detector 275, a correlator 276, and an action selector 277, according to at least some examples. In various examples, moderation processor 274 may be configured to determine and/or assign a state (e.g., an accessible state, an approved state, etc.) for an electronic message as a function of data values of a user input signal received from user input 210. Gesture detector 275 may be configured to receive user input signal data from user input 210 to determine a region or position (e.g., relative to a reference) for any electronic message or post presented in a viewable area of a user interface. Correlator 276 may include logic configured to detect a region or position of an electronic message (or any portion thereof), and to correlate the region or position to one or more automatically-invoked actions (e.g., based on the user input, such as a common user input). Action selector 277 may be configured to receive data representing a correlation between a detected set of user input data values and actions (e.g., automatic actions) that are configured to trigger or otherwise activate as a function of the set or range of user input data values. Thus, action selector 277 may be configured to activate an action automatically (e.g., responsive to a common user input data signal) or to activate an alternative action based on, for example, receiving other user inputs (e.g., to reject, to edit, etc.) based on accessibility to an electronic message under moderation.
Consider an example in which gesture detector 275 may be configured to detect a first subset of values of a user input signal, whereby the first subset of values of a user input signal may be configured to cause presentation of an electronic message (or a portion thereof) in a user interface for a moderator. In some examples, correlator 276 may be configured to correlate a first subset of values to a range of values responsive to detected values of a signal. In some examples, correlator 276 may detect a range of pixels, each pixel being uniquely identifiable relative to a reference (e.g., a bottom edge of a viewable area of a user interface, such as Y=Yn of
In one example, correlator 276 may be configured to correlate user input data that may position an electronic message in a user interface at a region associated with a first range of pixel values, the first range of pixel values being associated with an accessible state. In response, action selector 277 may be configured to cause that electronic message to receive other user inputs to invoke alternate actions (e.g., to reject, edit, or forward a post), whereby action selector 277 may be activated to select a corresponding action to be performed. In another example, correlator 276 may be configured to correlate a second subset of user input data that may position an electronic message in a user interface in another region that may be associated with a second range of pixel values. The second range of pixels values may be associated with an approved state. In response, action selector 277 may be configured to cause approval of the electronic message, thereby enabling an approved electronic message to be published into an online community. In yet another example, correlator 276 may be configured to correlate a third subset of user input data that may re-position an electronic message in a visible area of a user interface so that an electronic message, such as a previously-approved message, may be reviewed and/or accessed. In some cases, the third subset of user input data may be similar or equivalent to the first subset or the second subset of data, but may be associated with a user input data signal indicative of scrolling in a reverse direction.
Action generator 280 may include logic configured to implement any number of actions responsive to any user input. In some examples, action generator 280 may be configured to implement one or more actions automatically as a function of the user input signal. Action generator 280 may include an automatic action engine 281, which, in turn, may include a supplemental automatic action controller 282. In addition, action generator 280 may include an alternative action engine 283. Automatic action engine 281 may be configured to receive a signal from action selector 277 to implement or execute an action automatically as a function a region or position at which an electronic message (e.g., in a queue) may be detected in a viewable area of a user interface. For example, automatic action engine 281 may activate any of a multiple number of actions automatically based on detected subsets of user input signal values, whereby differently detected subsets of user input signal values may automatically invoke actions based on an accessible state or an approved state of an electronic message under moderation. Automatic action engine 281 may be configured to activate supplemental automatic action controller 282 to automatically implement a supplemental action, such as causing review of a previously-reviewed electronic message that may be scrolled down into a viewable area of a user interface for further review. Alternative action engine 283 may be activated in response to one or more user inputs associated with an electronic message in an accessible state, whereby the one or more user inputs may cause an accessible electronic message to be rejected, to be edited, to be forwarded, or the like.
Application stack 301 may include an electronic message moderation engine layer 350 upon application layer 340, which, in turn, may be disposed upon any number of lower layers (e.g., layers 303a to 303d). Electronic message moderation engine layer 350 may be configured to provide functionality and/or structure to implement a moderator application, as described herein. Electronic message moderation engine layer 350 and application layer 340 may be disposed on data exchange layer 303d, which may implemented using any programming language, such as HTML, JSON, XML, etc., or any other format to effect generation and communication of requests and responses among computing devices and computational resources constituting an enterprise and an enterprise resource planning application and/or platform. Data exchange layer 303d may be disposed on a service layer 303c, which may provide a transfer protocol or architecture for exchanging data among networked applications. For example, service layer 303c may provide for a RESTful-compliant architecture and attendant web services to facilitate GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, and other methods or operations. In other examples, service layer 303c may provide, as an example, SOAP web services based on remote procedure calls (“RPCs”), or any other like services or protocols (e.g., APIs). Service layer 303c may be disposed on a transport layer 303b, which may include protocols to provide host-to-host communications for applications via an HTTP or HTTPS protocol, in at least this example. Transport layer 303b may be disposed on a network layer 303a, which, in at least this example, may include TCP/IP protocols and the like. Note that in accordance with some examples, layers 303a to 303d facilitate implementation of a risk management data channel as set forth herein.
As shown, electronic message moderation engine layer 350 may include (or may be layered upon) an application layer 340 that includes logic constituting a community syndication controller layer 320, a message management controller layer 330, a presentation engine 310, and an asset layer 312. According to some examples, community syndication controller 320 may include logic to implement an online community, such as the Lithium Community (formally of Lithium Technologies, LLC), Khoros Communities of Khoros, LLC of Austin Tex., or “Atlas” Communities of Khoros, LLC of Austin Tex., among other online community configurations. Further, message management controller layer 330 may include logic to implement at least some functionality provided by an application configured to operate in accordance with “Modern Chat”-related technologies and “Khoros Care”-related technologies, both of Khoros, LLC of Austin Tex., among other technologies. Presentation engine layer 342 may include logic configured to facilitate presentation of electronic messages, as well as associated functionalities (e.g., to detect position or ranges of pixels associated with a displayed electronic message under moderation). In some examples, an asset layer 312 may be configured to implement node.js, which may be a cross-platform, JavaScript runtime environment. Is some cases, node.js may execute JavaScript code independent of a browser, or any other protocol, any other programming language, or any other set of executable instructions. Node.js is maintained by the Linux Foundation of San Francisco, Calif., USA.
Any of the described layers of
At 402, a moderator application (or a subset of executable instructions) may be configured to perform one or more actions automatically, such as approving an electronic message as a post in the electronic community, according to some examples. In some implementations, a moderator application may be implemented in association with a computing platform configured to host a syndication of subsets of electronic messages (e.g., an electronic community). A moderator application may be configured to filter a queue of one or more electronic messages (e.g., unmoderated electronic messages) to, for example, identify whether to apply an one or more actions (e.g., at least one of which may be performed automatically) in association electronic message (e.g., an unmoderated electronic message)
At 404, a user input signal may be received, whereby the user input signal may be configured to cause presentation of an electronic message at a user interface as a computerized tool to facilitate a moderated action of the moderator application. In some examples, a moderated action may be configured to cause assignment of an approved state automatically to an electronic message, thereby “automatically” approving the electronic message. For example, an approved state may indicate that unmoderated content is transformed into moderated content. According to some implementations, a user input signal may be configured to cause presentation and termination of one or more portions of an electronic message, whereby the user input signal may originate from a user input (e.g., a common user input, such as a single or unitary input with which to perform an automatic action, or multiple automatic actions). In at least example, a user input signal may originate from a scroll bar interface element (e.g., a vertical scroll bar) or a mouse-based user input, such as a mouse wheel configured to implement scrolling functionalities. Note, however, any other user input may be implemented. In some examples, touch sensitive-based user inputs may be implemented (e.g., touch-sensitive screens or touch-sensitive pads (e.g., touch pads)), as well as one or more voice-based or audio-based inputs (e.g., speech-to-text/input computer program). Another example of a user input may include eye-gaze detection and tracking devices and/or software, or any other technology configured to convey a user input to a moderator application.
At 406, a first subset of values of a user input signal may be detected, whereby the first subset of values of a user input signal may be configured to cause presentation of an electronic message (or a portion thereof) in a user interface. In some examples, a first subset of values may correlate to, or may be associated with, a range of values responsive to detected values of a signal.
At 408, a first state may be assigned to an electronic message based on a first subset of values. In at least one example, a first state associated with an electronic message may be indicative of an accessible state. An electronic message may be detectable in an accessible state in association with a user interface, whereby an electronic message may be accessible to receive another user input (e.g., a second user input). An example of another user input may be associated with activating a user interface element (e.g., a button) or causing a touch-sensitive input in a specific direction. In one example, another user input may not be activated or detected in association with an electronic message in an accessible state, whereby the electronic message may transition to a second state (e.g., automatically) responsive to a user input signal (e.g., a common user input signal). In another example, another user input may be activated or detected in association with an electronic message in an accessible state. In response, a moderator application may be configured to provide and detect the other user input (e.g., a second user input), which may be configured to transition an electronic message from a first state to a rejected state, an editable state, or a forwarded state, among others.
Responsive to detecting a user input to transition an electronic message to a rejected state, a moderator application can classify the message as “rejected,” prevent the message from being transitioned into an “approved” state, generate a notification to transmit to an author of the message (i.e., notifying the author of rejection) with optional reasons to facilitate correction, and to implement any other function. Upon detecting a user input to transition an electronic message to an editable state, a moderator application can classify the message as “editable,” enable a user (e.g., a moderator, an agent, or other users) to modify the message to, for example, redact a profane word. The moderator application can be further configured to generate a notification to transmit to an author of the message (i.e., notifying the author of a modification) and to implement any other function. Thereafter, the message may advance to an approved state, in at least some cases. Another user input may be configure to cause an electronic message to transition to a forwarded state, whereby a moderator application can be configured to classify the message as “forwarded,” enable the message to be transmitted to another user (e.g., an expert moderator, a supervisory agent, or other users). Thereafter, the message may advance to an approved state, in at least some cases.
At 410, a second subset of values of a user input signal can be detected, whereby the second subset of values of a user input signal may be configured to cause termination of the presentation of at least a second portion of the electronic message in a user interface. In at least one example, detection of a first subset and a second subset of values of a user input signal may include computing displacement of a number of pixels (or any other unit of an image) relative to a reference associated with the user interface, and detecting a displacement value a function of the number of pixels to determine a transition from at least one of the first state and the second state of the electronic message to another state. For example, a user interface element may be configured to cause an electronic message (or post) to modify its presentation by scrolling up in a first direction. In at least one other example, detection of a first subset and a second subset of values of a user input signal indicative of a position of an electronic message (or an image thereof), as presented or displayed on a user interface.
Further to 410, a first subset of values of a user input signal may be detected by, for example, detecting that a first subset of values may be indicative that a first portion of an electronic message is viewable in a user interface (e.g., a first portion of an electronic message may enter a user interface at a first edge of a user interface). A second subset values of a user input signal may be indicative that a second portion of an electronic message is not viewable in a user interface (e.g., a second portion of an electronic message may exit a user interface at a second edge of a user interface). In some implementations, a first edge and a second edge may be a bottom edge and a top edge, respectively, of a user interface (e.g., a viewable portion thereof).
At 412, a second state may be assigned to an electronic message based on a second subset of values of a user input signal. A second subset of values may include a range of values indicative of activating a transition to a second state (e.g., indicative of moderator intent). In some examples, a second state is an “approved” state
At 414, execution of instructions may cause performance of a moderated action automatically responsive to transitioning an electronic message from a first state to a second state (e.g., from an accessible state to an approved state). In some examples, a third subset of values of a user input signal may be configured to cause presentation of any portion of an electronic message in a user interface (e.g., re-display of at least a portion of an electronic message). In some examples, a third subset of values may be detected subsequent to detecting a second subset values of a user input signal (e.g., subsequent to an approved state). Further, another state to an electronic message based on a third subset of values. In at least one example, the third subset of values may indicate a review of an approved electronic message. According to some examples, a third subset of values may be equivalent to (or overlap) one or more other subsets of values. A third subset of values may be equivalent to at least portions of either a second subset of values (e.g., to revoke approval) or a first subset of values (e.g., to re-access an electronic message in an accessible state). A third subset of values may be detected at a subsequent period or unit of time. In at least one case, detecting a third subset of values may include receiving a user input signal specifying data representing a reverse displacement of a number of pixels. As such, a user input signal may originate from a common user interface element, and may be in a second or reverse direction, such as scrolling down (e.g., a reversed direction) to pull down or re-display an approved electronic message through a top of a user interface.
At 506, positions at which to present electronic messages may be detected, whereby one or more positions may be indicative of one or more states that may activate one or more actions. At 508, subsets of electronic messages may be filtered to facilitate approval automatically of approved electronic messages.
At 510, a determination may be made as to whether to perform an automatic action, such as action that specifies that an electronic message is approved, for example, to post within an online community. If no, flow 500 may transition to 512, at which accessibility to electronic messages may be detected to enable performance of an action at 514. Examples of such actions include rejecting, modifying, or forwarding an electronic message. Otherwise, flow 500 may transition to 516, whereby performance of an automatic action may be indicative of approving an electronic message or post automatically (e.g., using a common user input).
At 516, a determination may be made as to whether to perform a supplemental action, such as action that specifies that an approved electronic message may be reviewed by, for example, re-displaying the electronic message in a user interface. If no, flow 500 may transition to termination, at which the approved electronic message or post may be published into an online community. If yes, flow 500 may transition to 518, whereby accessibility of electronic messages may be detected. Accessible message may be configured to receive other user inputs to perform other actions at 520 (e.g., other action including, but not limited to, rejecting, modifying, or forwarding an electronic message.
Diagram 600 depicts a message moderation engine 664 including a queue manager 671, an image generator 672, a moderation processor 674, and an action generator 680. As shown, image generator 672 may include an image display controller 673, moderation processor 674 may include a gesture detector 675, a correlator 676, and an action selector 677, and action generator 680 may include an automatic action engine 681, which, in turn, may include a supplemental automatic action controller 682. In addition, action generator 680 may include an alternative action engine 683. Message moderation engine 664 may include structures and/or functionalities set forth in
According to various examples, message moderation engine 664 may include other or additional functionality. For example, moderation processor 674 may include logic configured to implement a rule processor 678 and a message modifier 679, and automatic action engine 681 may include logic configured to implement an automatic action predictor 684.
In at least one embodiment, moderation processor 674 may be configured to provide automatically a modified electronic message or post in a user interface with which a moderator may review and approve automatically, based on a user input signal data and correlation thereto as described herein. In this case, moderation processor 674 may be configured to provide a “modification assist” functionality, whereby logic may be configured to propose modifications to an unmoderated message that a moderator may approve automatically (e.g., without activating another user input). For example, moderation processor 674 may be configured to detect a noncompliant message attribute, such as a typographical error or a profane word, and may be configured to propose a modified electronic message for approval. Rule processor 678 may be configured to access rule data in a rule data repository 614, whereby rule data may include any number of rules with which to analyze an unmoderated electronic message (or post) to determine whether to approve or modify the message (e.g., automatically).
Rule data stored in repository 640 may include data arrangements of various threshold values to determine whether an unmoderated message may comply with community terms (e.g., terms of use), conditions, policies, laws, regulations, rules, and the like. For example, rule data 614 may include rule data to reject, block, or redact variants of words, word stems, tokens (in any language), and the like, that may be profane, libelous, perjurious, hateful, and the like. Message modifier 679 may include logic configured to detect violations or breaches of terms or policies, and to modify an electronic message (e.g., by replacing words, images, etc., by redacting inappropriate content, etc., and the like). In one example, rule data stored in repository 640 may define threshold or conditions to determine whether an electronic message conforms with, for instance, the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) or the like.
In at least one embodiment, an automatic action predictor 684 may include logic configured to provide “action assistance” to a moderator, whereby automatic action predictor 684 may predict whether to select or modify a default action to implement automatically a predicted disposition of an electronic message. As an example, automatic action predictor 684 may be configured to access model data 612 to compute or calculate, based on various attributes (e.g., message attribute data) of an electronic message, a predicted disposition of an electronic message, such as a prediction to approve, a prediction to reject, a prediction to edit, a prediction to forward, or any other predictive actions.
In some examples, message characterizer 620 may be configured to characterize one or more messages 601a to determine or predict various characterized message attributes with which to assist in modifying a message or assist in providing a predicted action during moderation of one or more electronic messages. In some examples, message characterizer 620 may be configured to characterize, for example, a “newly-received” message 601a for comparison against a data model in model data repository 612 to form a set of characterized data. Thus, message characterizer 620 may be configured to identify attributes and corresponding attributes that may be matched, as a data pattern, against patterns of data including correlated datasets stored in, for example, model data 612. Matching patterns may facilitate the correlation of message characteristics to assist in providing an optimal response during a moderation process. In various examples, one or more rules implemented in executable instructions may be configured to generate an optimized electronic message for review by a moderator.
Message characterizer 620 may be configured to characterize content of message 601a to identify or determine one or more attributes such as, for example, a status of an author or customer, a number of times an author or customer has had an electronic message rejected or modified, an associated URL, a referrer computing device, application, website, or link, one or more site visits, a number of days since a customer last interacted digitally with a website or application, an amount of time on a web page or web site, meta and cookie-related data, a location (including GPS coordinates, city, country, etc.), an operating system, a type of browser application, a device type (e.g., a hardware identification of a computing device), a MAC ID, an IP address, and other message attribute that may be characterized. One or more message characteristics may facilitate characterization or classification of unmoderated messages to, for example, optimize moderation processes at computing devices based on one or more detected or derived message characteristics. In some examples, message characterizer may derive a characteristic indicative of a priority value, or any other factor that may affect moderation of electronic messages.
Further, message characterizer 620 may be configured to detect and parse the various components of an electronic message, and further may be configured to perform analytics to analyze characteristics or attributes of one or more message components. As shown, message characterizer 620 may include a natural language processor 631 and a message component attribute determinator 632. Natural language processor 631 may be configured to ingest data to parse portions of an electronic message (e.g., using word stemming, etc.) for identifying components, such as a word or a phrase. Also, natural language processor 631 may be configured to derive or characterize a message as being directed to a particular topic or subject matter based on, for example, sentiment analysis techniques, content-based classification techniques, and the like. In some examples, natural language processor 631 may be configured to apply word embedding techniques in which components of an electronic message may be represented as a vector, which may be a data arrangement for implement machine learning, deep learning, and other artificial intelligence-related algorithmic functions.
Message component attribute determinator 632 may be configured to identify characteristics or attributes, such as message attribute data 603, for a word, phrase, topic, etc. In various examples, message attribute data 603 may be appended, linked, tagged, or otherwise associated with a component to enrich data in, for example, model data repository 612. A classification value may be a characteristic or an attribute of a message component, and thus may be used as a “tag.” Examples of message attribute data 603 are depicted as classification data 603a (e.g., an attribute specifying whether a component or message may be classified as, for example, being directed to particular subject matter, or being direct to non-compliant messaging), media type data 603b (e.g., an attribute specifying whether a component may be classified as being associated with a Tweet™, an email, a post, a webpage, a text message, etc.), channel type data 603c (e.g., an attribute specifying whether a component may be associated with a type of social networking system, such as Twitter™), and the like. Message attribute data 603 may also include context metadata 603d, which may include attributes that specify environmental data or contextual data, such as a context in which an electronic message is received for submission into a particular community. For instance, context metadata 603d may include data representing a time of day, a year, a season, a subject matter-related context, a product-related context, an idea-related context, a solution-related context, a service-related context, a payment-related context, etc.
Also, message component attribute determinator 632 may be configured to generate a tag including metadata 603d may refer to a context in which a word is used in a transmission of a number of electronic messages (e.g., a tag indicating a marketing campaign, a tag directed to a particular community or sub-community, or the like). Also, a tag including metadata 603d may refer to an industry or activity (e.g., a tag indicating an electronic message component relating to autonomous vehicle technology, or basketball), etc. Furthermore, message attribute data 603 may also include profile data 603e, which may include attributes that describe, for example, demographic data regarding an author or a customer of a received electronic message, or the like. Other metadata 603f may be associated with, or tagged to, a word or other message component. As such, other metadata 603f may include a tag representing a language in which the word is used (e.g., a tag indicating English, German, Mandarin, etc.). In some cases, other metadata 603d may include data representing values of computed threshold values or classification values (e.g., a tag may indicate a value of an amount of likelihood of generating a response, etc.). Message attribute data 603, and the corresponding tags, may be stored in a data repository.
Data correlator 633 may be configured to statistically analyze components and attributes of electronic messages and posts bound for submission to a community to identify predictive relationships between, for example, an attribute and a value predicting a likelihood that an electronic message may invoke a specific predictive action, which may be moderated by an agent, a moderator, or the like. According to some embodiments, data correlator 633 may be configured to classify and/or quantify various “attributes” and/or “received electronic messages” (and exchanges thereof) by, for example, applying machine learning or deep learning techniques, or the like.
In one example, data correlator 633 may be configured to segregate, separate, or distinguish a number of data points (e.g., vector data) representing similar (or statistically similar) attributes or received electronic messages, thereby forming one or more sets of clustered data. Clusters of data (e.g., predictively grouped data) may be grouped or clustered about a particular attribute of the data, such as a source of data (e.g., a channel of data), a type of customer (e.g., a loyal customer), a degree of urgency for an issue (e.g., a customer is, a type of language, a degree of similarity with synonyms or other words, etc., or any other attribute, characteristic, parameter or the like. In at least one example, a cluster of data may define a subset of electronic messages having one or more similarities (e.g., a statistically same topic) that may be configured to characterize a class of messages for purposes of selecting and applying predictively one or more rules or more actions to unmoderated message 601a.
While any number of techniques may be implemented, data correlator 633 may apply “k-means clustering,” or any other clustering data identification techniques to form clustered sets of data that may be analyzed to determine or learn optimal classifications of data and associated predictive responses thereto. In some examples, data correlator 633 maybe configured to detect patterns or classifications among datasets 633 and other data through the use of Bayesian networks, clustering analysis, as well as other known machine learning techniques or deep-learning techniques (e.g., including any known artificial intelligence techniques, or any of k-NN algorithms, linear support vector machine (“SVM”) algorithm, regression and variants thereof (e.g., linear regression, non-linear regression, etc.), Bayesian inferences and the like, including classification algorithms, such as Naïve Bayes classifiers, or any other statistical or empirical technique).
In the example shown, data correlator 633 may be configured to implement any number of statistical analytic programs, machine-learning applications, deep-learning applications, and the like. Data correlator 633 is shown to have access to any number of predictive models, such as predictive model 690a, 690b, and 690c, among others. In this implementation, predictive data model 690a may be configured to implement one of any type of neuronal networks to predict an action or disposition of an electronic message under moderation, so as to minimize a number of different user inputs in use (e.g., to enhance moderator efficiency and reduce fatigue). In this case, a neural network model 690a includes a set of inputs 691 and any number of “hidden” or intermediate computational nodes 692 and 693, whereby one or more weights 697 may be implemented and adjusted (e.g., in response to training). Also shown, is a set of predicted outputs 694, such as “approve” or “reject,” among any other type of output.
In view of the foregoing, rule processor 678 and message modifier 679 may be configured to operate to predictively or proactively suggest modifications to an electronic message, thereby enabling a moderator to forgo accessing a non-compliant electronic message to reject, or modify the electronic message. Further, automatic action predictor 684 may be configured to analyze characterized message data of electronic message 601a to provide a proposed default course of action or disposition of an electronic message. Therefore, an electronic message under moderation may be associated with a connotation of its predicted disposition, such as whether a message ought to be approved, reviewed, edited, rejected, forwarded, and the like. As such, a moderator may forego actively selecting an alternative action manually as automatic action predictor 684 may be configured to propose an alternative action that may be implemented automatically (e.g., automatically rejecting or editing a message).
Any of described elements or components set forth in
In some examples, computing devices using computer programs or software applications may be used to implement gesture-based community moderation, using computer programming and formatting languages such as Java®, JavaScript®, Python®, HTML, HTML5, XML, and data handling techniques and schemas. Moderation may be performed for various purposes ranging from reviewing/publishing content to moderating user posted content to a content, news, or video aggregation site such as YouTube® or a social media website or network such as Twitter®, Facebook®, Instagram®, Snapchat®, or others.
User interface 801 depicts a presentation of a number of electronic messages under moderation, such as messages 837d, 837b, 838, 837a, and 837c in a queue, whereby message 838 is a modified version of original electronic message 837, which is presented or displayed at its side. In this example, a moderator application or other logic may be configured to detect inappropriate or noncompliant text 889, and propose alternative words or text 888. In this state, a visual indicator 848 indicates that electronic message 838 may be accessible in response to, for example, alternative actions activated by one or more user inputs 847, such as whether to undo or reject proposed alternate modifications 888. User inputs, such as gesture-based user inputs 826a, 826b, and 826c may be configured to scroll messages 837d, 837b, 838, 837a, and 837c up and down, whereby one or more automatic actions may be applied to an electronic message. If no alternative actions are activated via user input 847, then one or more user input 826b may cause electronic message 838 to scroll off a visible area of user interface 801, thereby automatically approving that a modified version of electronic message 837.
User interface 901 depicts a presentation of a number of electronic messages under moderation, such as messages 937d, 937b, 937, and 937a in a queue, whereby a moderator application predictively calculates predictive default actions each of the messages. For example, messages 937d, 937b, 937, and 937a are shown to be associated with predicted default actions (“Reject”) 941, (“Approve”) 942, (“Approve”) 944, and (“Approve”) 946, respectively. User inputs, such as gesture-based user inputs 926a, 926b, and 926c may be configured to scroll messages 937d, 937b, 937, and 937a up and down, whereby one or more automatic actions and dispositions may be applied to an electronic message. If no alternative actions are activated via user input 947, as an example, then one or more user input 926b may cause electronic messages 937d, 937b, 937, and 937a to scroll off a visible area of user interface 901, whereby predicted default actions may be applied. Thus, electronic message 937d, if no user inputs 947 are detected, may be rejected automatically as a predicted default disposition, and based on a common user input or gesture.
At 1008, a moderator application may be configured to cause display of a modified electronic message based on, for example, detection of non-compliant message components (e.g., profane text), or the like. At 1010, a predicted automatic action may be predicted so as to implement a default action automatically, whereby the predicted automatic action may be any default action, such as approval, rejection, or the like. At 1012, a detected change in position of an electronic message in a viewable area of a user interface may invoke or cause activation of an automatic action, such as a predicted automatic default action.
In some cases, computing platform 1200 or any portion (e.g., any structural or functional portion) can be disposed in any device, such as a computing device 1290a, mobile computing device 1290b, and/or a processing circuit in association with initiating any of the functionalities described herein, via user interfaces and user interface elements, according to various examples.
Computing platform 1200 includes a bus 1202 or other communication mechanism for communicating information, which interconnects subsystems and devices, such as processor 1204, system memory 1206 (e.g., RAM, etc.), storage device 1208 (e.g., ROM, etc.), an in-memory cache (which may be implemented in RAM 1206 or other portions of computing platform 1200), a communication interface 1213 (e.g., an Ethernet or wireless controller, a Bluetooth controller, NFC logic, etc.) to facilitate communications via a port on communication link 1221 to communicate, for example, with a computing device, including mobile computing and/or communication devices with processors, including database devices (e.g., storage devices configured to store atomized datasets, including, but not limited to triplestores, etc.). Processor 1204 can be implemented as one or more graphics processing units (“GPUs”), as one or more central processing units (“CPUs”), such as those manufactured by Intel® Corporation, or as one or more virtual processors, as well as any combination of CPUs and virtual processors. Computing platform 1200 exchanges data representing inputs and outputs via input-and-output devices 1201, including, but not limited to, keyboards, mice, audio inputs (e.g., speech-to-text driven devices), user interfaces, displays, monitors, cursors, touch-sensitive displays, touch-sensitive input and outputs (e.g., touch pads), LCD or LED displays, and other I/O-related devices.
Note that in some examples, input-and-output devices 1201 may be implemented as, or otherwise substituted with, a user interface in a computing device associated with, for example, a user account identifier in accordance with the various examples described herein.
According to some examples, computing platform 1200 performs specific operations by processor 1204 executing one or more sequences of one or more instructions stored in system memory 1206, and computing platform 1200 can be implemented in a client-server arrangement, peer-to-peer arrangement, or as any mobile computing device, including smart phones and the like. Such instructions or data may be read into system memory 1206 from another computer readable medium, such as storage device 1208. In some examples, hard-wired circuitry may be used in place of or in combination with software instructions for implementation. Instructions may be embedded in software or firmware. The term “computer readable medium” refers to any tangible medium that participates in providing instructions to processor 1204 for execution. Such a medium may take many forms, including but not limited to, non-volatile media and volatile media. Non-volatile media includes, for example, optical or magnetic disks and the like. Volatile media includes dynamic memory, such as system memory 1206.
Known forms of computer readable media includes, for example, floppy disk, flexible disk, hard disk, magnetic tape, any other magnetic medium, CD-ROM, any other optical medium, punch cards, paper tape, any other physical medium with patterns of holes, RAM, PROM, EPROM, FLASH-EPROM, any other memory chip or cartridge, or any other medium from which a computer can access data. Instructions may further be transmitted or received using a transmission medium. The term “transmission medium” may include any tangible or intangible medium that is capable of storing, encoding or carrying instructions for execution by the machine, and includes digital or analog communications signals or other intangible medium to facilitate communication of such instructions. Transmission media includes coaxial cables, copper wire, and fiber optics, including wires that comprise bus 1202 for transmitting a computer data signal.
In some examples, execution of the sequences of instructions may be performed by computing platform 1200. According to some examples, computing platform 1200 can be coupled by communication link 1221 (e.g., a wired network, such as LAN, PSTN, or any wireless network, including WiFi of various standards and protocols, Bluetooth®, NFC, Zig-Bee, etc.) to any other processor to perform the sequence of instructions in coordination with (or asynchronous to) one another. Computing platform 1200 may transmit and receive messages, data, and instructions, including program code (e.g., application code) through communication link 1221 and communication interface 1213. Received program code may be executed by processor 1204 as it is received, and/or stored in memory 1206 or other non-volatile storage for later execution.
In the example shown, system memory 1206 can include various modules that include executable instructions to implement functionalities described herein. System memory 1206 may include an operating system (“O/S”) 1232, as well as an application 1236 and/or logic module(s) 1259. In the example shown in
The structures and/or functions of any of the above-described features can be implemented in software, hardware, firmware, circuitry, or a combination thereof. Note that the structures and constituent elements above, as well as their functionality, may be aggregated with one or more other structures or elements. Alternatively, the elements and their functionality may be subdivided into constituent sub-elements, if any. As software, the above-described techniques may be implemented using various types of programming or formatting languages, frameworks, syntax, applications, protocols, objects, or techniques. These can be varied and are not limited to the examples or descriptions provided.
In some embodiments, modules 1259 of
In some cases, a mobile device, or any networked computing device (not shown) in communication with one or more modules 1259 or one or more of its/their components (or any process or device described herein), can provide at least some of the structures and/or functions of any of the features described herein. As depicted in the above-described figures, the structures and/or functions of any of the above-described features can be implemented in software, hardware, firmware, circuitry, or any combination thereof. Note that the structures and constituent elements above, as well as their functionality, may be aggregated or combined with one or more other structures or elements. Alternatively, the elements and their functionality may be subdivided into constituent sub-elements, if any. As software, at least some of the above-described techniques may be implemented using various types of programming or formatting languages, frameworks, syntax, applications, protocols, objects, or techniques. For example, at least one of the elements depicted in any of the figures can represent one or more algorithms. Or, at least one of the elements can represent a portion of logic including a portion of hardware configured to provide constituent structures and/or functionalities.
For example, modules 1259 or one or more of its/their components, or any process or device described herein, can be implemented in one or more computing devices (i.e., any mobile computing device, such as a wearable device, such as a hat or headband, or mobile phone, whether worn or carried) that include one or more processors configured to execute one or more algorithms in memory. Thus, at least some of the elements in the above-described figures can represent one or more algorithms. Or, at least one of the elements can represent a portion of logic including a portion of hardware configured to provide constituent structures and/or functionalities. These can be varied and are not limited to the examples or descriptions provided.
As hardware and/or firmware, the above-described structures and techniques can be implemented using various types of programming or integrated circuit design languages, including hardware description languages, such as any register transfer language (“RTL”) configured to design field-programmable gate arrays (“FPGAs”), application-specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”), multi-chip modules, or any other type of integrated circuit. For example, modules 1259 or one or more of its/their components, or any process or device described herein, can be implemented in one or more computing devices that include one or more circuits. Thus, at least one of the elements in the above-described figures can represent one or more components of hardware. Or, at least one of the elements can represent a portion of logic including a portion of a circuit configured to provide constituent structures and/or functionalities.
According to some embodiments, the term “circuit” can refer, for example, to any system including a number of components through which current flows to perform one or more functions, the components including discrete and complex components. Examples of discrete components include transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and the like, and examples of complex components include memory, processors, analog circuits, digital circuits, and the like, including field-programmable gate arrays (“FPGAs”), application-specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”). Therefore, a circuit can include a system of electronic components and logic components (e.g., logic configured to execute instructions, such that a group of executable instructions of an algorithm, for example, and, thus, is a component of a circuit). According to some embodiments, the term “module” can refer, for example, to an algorithm or a portion thereof, and/or logic implemented in either hardware circuitry or software, or a combination thereof (i.e., a module can be implemented as a circuit). In some embodiments, algorithms and/or the memory in which the algorithms are stored are “components” of a circuit. Thus, the term “circuit” can also refer, for example, to a system of components, including algorithms. These can be varied and are not limited to the examples or descriptions provided.
Although the foregoing examples have been described in some detail for purposes of clarity of understanding, the above-described inventive techniques are not limited to the details provided. There are many alternative ways of implementing the above-described invention techniques. The disclosed examples are illustrative and not restrictive.
