System and Method For Managing Online Messages Using Trust Values

摘要

A computer-implemented method for managing text inputted by a user in an online communication program comprises: communicating with a user computing device or online communication program server to receive text inputted by the user; assigning a trust value to the inputted text, wherein the assigned trust value is one of least three trust values on a continuum of trust values comprising a first trust value associated with acceptable behaviour, a second trust value associated with unacceptable behaviour, and a third trust value associated with indeterminate behaviour; determining available responses to the inputted text based on the assigned trust value and rules specified in a user trust matrix; and sending a response selected from the determined available responses to the user computing device or online communication program server.

1. A computer-implemented method for managing text input submitted by a user in an online communication program, comprising:
(a) receiving a text input submitted by a user in an online communication program; (b) using a processor to assign a trust value to the text input, wherein the assigned trust value is a value on a continuum of trustworthiness comprising of at least three trust values; (c) using the processor to determine available responses to the text input submission based on the assigned trust value and rules specified in a user trust matrix associated with the user; (d) transmitting a response to the text input submission selected from the determined available responses; and (e) adjusting the rules of the user trust matrix based on the assigned trust value of the text input.
