METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ASYNCHRONOUS THREAD RESPONSE DETECTION IN AN ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A system for asynchronous thread response detection in an electronic communication system. Alert messages are provided to a user who is in the process of responding to a message in a message thread. The alert messages are provided when there are new messages in the thread, including messages in thread that were received before the user started responding, and/or messages that were received while the user was composing the response. The disclosed system is advantageous in that it the responding user does not necessarily have to manually check for new thread messages prior to or while they are composing a response to a message within the thread.
