Break-through mechanism for personas associated with a single device

摘要

A single device that receives communications intended for a user having multiple contact addresses associated with different user roles is provided. The single device can receive communications intended for multiple telephone numbers, email aliases, screen names, aliases, other means of contact, or combinations thereof. Since a user engaged in a particular role might not desire to be interrupted with communications intended for a different role, the communications for the other roles can be maintained until the user is actively engaged in the role for which the communication was intended. In situations where there is an important communication sent to a non-active role, selective convergence between roles is initiated and the important communication is presented to the user.

主权项

1. A system for persona breakthrough for priority communications, comprising:
one or more processors; and a memory that includes a plurality of computer-executable components which are operable by the one or more processors, the plurality of computer-executable components comprising:
a role component that:
ascertains a communication role of an incoming communication by evaluating one or more phrases of the incoming communication, wherein the communication role is one of a plurality of roles associated with a recipient that the incoming communication is assigned to; andascertains a recipient active role based on at least one of location information of a device that receives the incoming communication, a time when the incoming communication is received or an application that is currently running on the device;a ranking component that lowers a priority of the incoming communication in response to determining that the incoming communication is similar to a previously received and ignored break-through communication, the break-through communication associated with a previous communication role that did not match a previous recipient active role; anda rendering component that presents the communication to a user in response to a determination that:
the communication role matches the recipient active role, orthe communication role does not match the recipient active role and the priority of the incoming communication is greater than a predetermined threshold level.
