ESTABLISHING INSTANT MEETING FOR ACTIVE DISCUSSION THREADS

摘要

An instant meeting in the form of a video and/or audio call is initiated when a discussion thread becomes sufficiently active. Information about a discussion thread of two or more participants is stored and a number of messages related to the discussion thread from the two or more participants in a predetermined period of time is determined. When the number of messages related to the discussion thread within the predetermined period of time from the two or more participants exceeds a first threshold, a mean time between replies to messages in the discussion thread is calculated. The meeting or call for the two or more participants is established when the number of messages exceeds the first threshold and the mean time between replies to messages in the discussion thread is below the second threshold.
