A computationally implemented method includes, but is not limited to: acquiring data indicative of an inferred mental state of an authoring user in connection with at least a particular item of an electronic message, and associating the data indicative of the inferred mental state of the authoring user with the particular item. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

Acquisition and particular association of data indicative of an inferred mental state of an authoring user

A computationally implemented method includes, but is not limited to: acquiring a first inference data indicative of an inferred mental state of a first authoring user in connection with a particular item of an electronic message, acquiring a second inference data indicative of an inferred mental state of a second authoring user in connection with the particular item of the electronic message; and associating the first inference data and the second inference data with the particular item. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

Acquisition and particular association of inference data indicative of inferred mental states of authoring users

A system, method, computer program product, and carrier are described for causing one or more destination-dependent criteria to be applied at least to a data object and indicating a decision whether to transmit the data object to a destination partly based on a default value and partly based on one or more results of the one or more destination-dependent criteria being applied at least to the data object.

Using destination-dependent criteria to guide data transmission decisions

A system, method, computer program product, and carrier are described for obtaining an indication of one or more message filtering rules and accepting text-containing content after obtaining the indication of the one or more message filtering rules and after a value acceptance of a delivery evaluation of the text-containing content.

Adaptive filtering of annotated messages or the like

A system, method, computer program product, and carrier are described for causing message content to undergo an evaluation mode at least partly dependent upon one or more message content destinations and indicating at least one outcome of the evaluation mode before detecting an apparent authorization to transmit the message content to the one or more message content destinations; or obtaining one or more evaluation parameters in association with a message content destination selection and transmitting at least a tentative-message-content evaluation result from an application of the one or more evaluation parameters to tentative-message-content.

Preliminary destination-dependent evaluation of message content

Location information is a valuable tool in personal communication systems, especially considering the wide variety of communication mechanisms that are available and affordable today. Users can easily access different types of networks (e.g., the public switched telephone network (PSTN), cellular networks and Internet Protocol (IP) networks), and they can choose to communicate via voice, data or video. An interesting issue is how we can blend location information, different communication services, and other advanced mechanisms such as policy control and presence information to build a visually oriented, easily personalized communication platform. We present MapWeb, a novel location-based platform that allows a user, via a map interface, to locate in her vicinity buddies and points of interest such as restaurants, hotels, banks, and gas stations, and to communicate with these entities via the communication mechanism of her choice. The system is built on the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture and is fully extensible at both the server and the client sides. It has many potential applications in settings such as security, emergency response, salvage, traffic management and Olympic-scale activity organization.
