While possible solutions to notification control are known, these solutions may be inadequate to maintain balance and proportionality to the amount of notification a user receives based, at least, on the modifications to website content. While it is important that a user receive notifications regarding each and every change and/or modification to a document, it would be cumbersome to a user to review and analyze each notification that the user receives.
In general, notification control applications generate a notification or alert and communicate the notification or alert to a user each time a change and/or modification occurs to a document. The notification control generally requires that the user develop and submit criteria for when the user would like to receive notifications. In another situation, the user can apply a filtering system to filter the notification so that the user receives only the notifications they wish to receive. In general, notification control applications utilize filtering or identified criteria to communicate only the notifications to the user that the user wishes to receive.
Embodiments of the present invention recognize that the information in the pages of a web site under construction, in a draft document of a web site, and/or in the source code of a web site during development or maintenance phases can undergo multiple changes within a given time period. Embodiments of the present invention recognize that authorized subscribers are regularly notified of such changes. Embodiments of the present invention recognize that optimization for notification control offers users the ability to receive notifications regarding each change and/or modification to a document without being encumbered by large quantity of alerts communicated to the user for each individual change and/or modification to a document. Instead of generating a filtering process or requesting the user to submit criteria based on user preferences of which notifications to receive, the use of link sets and delaying the communication of notification until the application determines that no more changes are to be made and communicating a single alert to a user is beneficial, because it may be less burdensome on the user. Such an approach may yield an increase in productivity in management of the changes and/or modification to website content shared over distributed databases of website content and collaborative editing. As used hereinafter, the term website content refers to one or a combination of the pages of a web site under construction, in a draft document of a web site, and/or in the source code of a web site.

Master document application 132 operates to generate a plurality of modification alerts based, at least in part, on one or more changes to, at least, a first anchor content of, at least, a first master document. Master document application 132 operates to aggregate the plurality of modification alerts of changes to, at least, a first anchor content of, at least, a first master document. In one embodiment, master document application 132 generates a commentary data list based, at least in part, on the aggregation of the plurality of modification alerts and stores the commentary data list on SAN 130. In addition to storing the commentary data list, master document application 132 communicates the commentary data list to a computer system (i.e., computer system 120A) when (i) master document application 132 communicates one modification alert, (ii) master document application 132 receives program instructions instructing master document application 132 to communicate the modification alert, and/or (iii) content notification program 122 requests a modification alert. In addition to aggregating the plurality of modification alerts, master document application 132 identifies a plurality of link sets that selected, at least, the first anchor content of, at least, the first master document. Master document application 132 generates a single modification alert based, at least in part, on the aggregation of the plurality of modification alerts and communicates the single modification alert, based, at least in part, on the plurality of changes to, at least, a first anchor content of, at least, a first master document, to a computer system (i.e., computer system 120A). Wherein, master document application 132 communicates the single modification alert to computer interface 124, wherein, computer interface 124 populates the modification alert on computer system 120A. In various embodiments, content notification program 122 receives program instructions from master document application 132 to communicate the modification alert to computer interface 124 to populate the modification alert on computer system 120A.
In operation 302, master document application 132 communicates a modification alert to computer system 120A, computer system 120B and/or various computer systems (not shown). In various embodiments, master document application 132 generates a modification alert based, at least in part, on changes made to an anchor content included as part of a master document stored on database 134. The present invention recognizes that changes made to anchor content may be made by master document application 132 receiving program instructions from a user of computer system 120A, computer system 120B and/or various computer systems (not shown). In various embodiments, master document application 132 makes changes to one or more anchor contents based, at least, on a set of user preferences, as recognized above. In some embodiments, master document application 132 receives program instructions from content notification program 122, content notification program 126 and/or various programs operating on various computer systems (not shown) to communicate one or more master website content to these programs, wherein, these programs make changes to the master document and communicate the edited master document to master document application 132. In these embodiments, master document application 132 monitors for changes to be made to one or more anchor contents of one or more master website content, and generates a modification alert based, at least in part, on those changes to the one or more anchor contents. In addition to master document application 132 monitoring for changes made to anchor contents, master document application 132 generates, at least, a single modification alert and communicates the modification alert to a computer system (i.e., computer system 120A, computer system 120B). In some such embodiments, the computer system is configured to, via executed computer programming, maintain, at least, one link set that has assigned, at least, one anchor content that master document application 132 has monitored to have been changed.
In operation 304, master document application 132 monitors the activity of a plurality of master website content stored on database 134. In various embodiments of the present invention, master document application 132 continues to monitor a plurality of master website content stored on database 134 after master document application 132 communicated a modification alert regarding, at least, one of the master website content stored on database 134. In one embodiment and example, as recognized above, master document application 132 identifies a change made to a first anchor content of a first master document, wherein, master document application 132 generates a first modification alert and communicates the modification alert to a computer system (i.e., computer system 120A, computer system 120B, etc.) that maintains a link set that assigned the first anchor content of the first master document to the docket of the link set. In addition, master document application 132 continues to monitor a plurality of master website content, including, but not limited to, the first master document that master document application 132 communicated a modification alert to a computer system.
In operation 306, master document application 132 identifies, at least, a second change to a first anchor content of the first master document during a predefined period of time. In some embodiments of the present invention, master document application 132 identifies additional changes to one or more anchor contents during a predefined period of time (i.e., time intervals), which includes, but is not limited, to one-hour increments, four-hour increments, etc. The present invention recognizes that a user of a computer system (i.e., computer system 120A) defines a period of time using user preferences. The user preferences can include, but are not limited to, incremental time periods such as, one-hour, four-hours, etc. In various embodiments, master document application 132 operates to delay the modification alert of the second change and continues to monitor for additional changes to the first anchor content of the first master document. In this embodiment, master document application 132 operates to identify additional changes to, at least, the first anchor content of the first master document during, at least, an hourly time cycle. Additionally, master document application 132 operates to aggregate the additional changes to the, at least, first anchor content of the first master document during the predefined period of time and stores the changes on database 134 (operation 308). In some embodiments, master document application 132 communicates a second modification alert, containing the additional changes to the first anchor content of the first master document, to a computer system (i.e., computer system 120A, computer system 120B, etc.) with program instructions to include the additional changes to the first modification alert and stores the additional changes on the computer system. In some embodiments of the present invention, master document application 132 communicates a second modification alert, as recognized above, to a computer system (i.e., computer system 120A, computer system 120B, etc.) with program instructions to replace the first modification alert with the second modification alert and stores the additional changes on the computer system.
In various embodiments of the present invention, master document application 132 operates to identify a plurality of changes made to one or more anchor contents to one or more master website content. In one embodiment and example, master document application 132 identifies if, at least, a first modification alert has been communicated to a first link set on a computer system (i.e., computer system 120A), wherein, the first modification alert, includes, but is not limited to, a first anchor content of a first master document, that has been communicated to a first link set. In this embodiment, if master document application 132 identifies that, at least, a first modification alert has already been communicated to a first link set, regarding the first anchor content of a first master document, master document application 132 aggregates the generation of modification alerts regarding one or more additional changes to the first anchor content of a first master document and delays the communication of one or more modification alerts to a computer system (operation 308). Master document application 132 generates a single modification alert, regarding the additional modification alerts, and communicates the single modification alert to a computer system.
