Disclosed embodiments provide a computer-implemented technique for filtering electronic communication based on the current task of a user. The current task of a user is derived using a workflow segmentation model. A workflow segmentation model is derived based on user-defined activities, heuristics, location data, environmental data, and/or other input data. Prior to delivery, electronic communication directed to the user is analyzed based on sender, subject, message content, time of day, and/or other criteria to determine if the message should be presented to the user immediately, or deferred, based on the relevance of the message to the current task of the user.

Segmented social collaboration with communication arbitration

A method for improving an action implementation process is provided. The method includes detecting a cancelation or a rescheduling for an originally planned activity of a user to be performed during a first time period. An alternative activity for replacement of the originally planned activity is determined. It is determined that a second time period necessary for performing the alternative activity exceeds the first time period and in response, an executable action is generated. The executable action is configured to be combined with the alternative activity such that the alternative activity may be accommodated. Machine learning software code is executed top determine if the user would be likely to accept the alternative activity if the additional executable action exceeds a specified threshold. In response, the executable action is automatically executed in real time thereby enabling the alternative activity.

In an approach to creating an electronic calendar entry, one or more computer processors receive a selection of a location in a map application from a first device associated with a first user. In response to receiving a selection of a location in a map application from the first device associated with the first user, the one or more computer processors create a first calendar entry in the electronic calendar application associated with the first user. The one or more computer processors input information corresponding to the selected location in the first calendar entry. The one or more computer processors store the first calendar entry.

Calendar entry creation by interaction with map application

A method for bandwidth-sensitive content sharing can begin with the establishment of a content sharing session between two or more end-user devices by a bandwidth-sensitive content sharing system. At least one of the two or more end-user devices can be a mobile device having a network constraint and/or a data usage constraint. A bandwidth limitation can be determined for the mobile device from network connection data and user data. The bandwidth limitation can indicate a restriction to content sections of a content item the mobile device is to receive during the content sharing session. The content item shared with the mobile device can be filtered based upon a priority value for each content section of the content item. A content section can be an identifiable and discrete encapsulation of data within the content item. The filtered content item can satisfy the bandwidth limitation of the mobile device.
