Examples of techniques for data sharing among processing systems in a collaboration group are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a message sent to a collaboration group via a first network connection. The first processing system is a member of the collaboration group. The method further includes downloading data associated with the message via the first network connection. The method further includes determining whether any additional processing systems that are members of the collaboration group are in proximity to the first processing system. The method further includes, based at least in part on determining that a second processing system that is a member of the collaboration group is in proximity to the first processing system, transmitting a message indicator from the first processing system to the second processing system via a second network connection.

Data sharing among processing systems in a collaboration group

Aspects of the invention include collecting contact information in a background mode by a contact service application executing on a first electronic communication device of a first user. The collecting includes detecting via a first communication channel second electronic communication devices of second users executing copies of the contact service application. Contact information is received for each of the second users. At least a portion of the contact information for each of the second users is in a format that is not readable via a user interface of the first electronic communication device. A request from the first user to contact a selected one of the second users is received via the user interface of the first electronic communication device. In response to receiving the request, a second communication channel is initiated with the selected one of the second users based at least in part on the received contact information.

Enhanced modes of communication

In an approach for displaying applications associated with content in a clipboard, a computer receives a selection of content to transfer to a clipboard, wherein the content is selected from a first application on a computing device. The computer identifies one or more applications on one or more computing devices capable of processing the received selection. The computer assigns the identified one or more applications to one or more categories. The computer displays one or more user interface objects representative of the one or more applications with a respective assigned category.

Data transfer target applications through content analysis

A method, computer program product, and system for peer to peer communication is provided. The embodiment may include receiving a message from a first user intended for a second. It may include determining whether the second user is in a do not disturb (DND) state. It may also include overriding the DND state of the second user. Overriding the DND state may include receiving static message information and user characteristics. Overriding the DND state may include determining if a critical situation (critsit) exists. Overriding the DND state may include determining a message critsit value for the users. Overriding the DND state may include adding the first user and the second to a critsit users list. The embodiment may include overriding the DND state of the second user if both users are on the same list. The embodiment may include transmitting messages from the first user to the second user.

Automatic and dynamic management of instant messenger do not disturb state via enterprise application

A computer-implemented method, carried out by one or more processors, for managing unavailability notices. In an embodiment, the method comprises the steps of initializing an out of office notice, wherein the out of office notice is associated with a first user of an e-mail service; receiving inputs for the out of office notice, wherein the inputs include one or more of: a duration of time selection, alternative contact information, and message content; receiving a list of one or more user to whom to send an out of office alert notice; and sending to the one or more users from the list the out of office alert notice with a reminder function, wherein the reminder function allows for each of the one or more users to receive a reminder about unavailability at another time.
