Targeted information to be shared according to a 'pre-analyzed user behavior' of a set of potential candidates is analyzed. The pre-analyzed user behavior is determined from a set of previously conveyed messages from a sender to one of the potential candidates. A list representing a determined subset of the potential candidates and related preference tools/applications is presented to the sender via a user interface. Tools/applications are determined for sending said targeted information content. An action message is sent to the tools/applications of selected candidates, which results in each of the subset of potential candidates receiving the targeted information.

Efficiently sharing user selected information with a set of determined recipients

A computer system and program product dynamically adjusts a log level of a transaction by: buffering the most detailed logs of a transaction having highest log level into a memory; checking if all dependency-defined transactions within a dependency list/tree for the transaction are completed; and, in response to the completion of all dependency-defined transactions within the dependency list/tree for the transaction, obtaining a log filter level for the transaction in association with the transaction results (success/failure) of dependency-defined transactions, wherein the log filter level is a new log level for the transaction.

Dynamically adjusting a log level of a transaction

Information concerning a set of recipients of previously conveyed messages from a sender can be collected. Patterns between content of the previously conveyed messages and each of the set of recipients can be determined and stored. Information can be selected within a user interface to share with others. The selected information can be analyzed and matched against the stored patterns. A subset of the recipients can be automatically determined. The subset can be those recipients likely to be interested in the selected information based on results of the analyzing and the matching. The information can be conveyed within at least one message from a sender device of the sender to one or more remotely located devices. Each of the one or more remotely located devices can be devices associated with at least a portion of the subset of the recipients.

Emotions can be expressed in the user interface for an instant messaging system based on the content of a received text message. The received text message is analyzed using a text-to-speech engine to generate phoneme data and wave data based on the text content. Emotion tags embedded in the message by the sender are also detected. Each emotion tag indicates the sender's intent to change the emotion being conveyed in the message. A mapping table is used to map phoneme data to viseme data. The number of face/lip frames required to represent viseme data is determined based on at least the length of the associated wave data. The required number of face/lip frames is retrieved from a stored set of such frames and used in generating an animation. The retrieved face/lip frames and associated wave data are presented in the user interface as synchronized audio/video data.
