Patent ID: 7444384

Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising: generating a priority of received text based on a trainable text classifier that classifies the priority of the received text based at least in part on analyzing the received text and inferred or determined user state; explicitly training the trainable text classifier to determine the priority of the received text to facilitate generating the priority of the received text, the trainable text classifier is explicitly trained using a set of time-critical texts and a set of non-time-critical texts to facilitate training the trainable text classifier to discriminate between time-critical text and non-time-critical text; implicitly training the trainable text classifier to determine the priority of the received text and updating the trainable text classifier in real time to continually refine the trainable text classifier to facilitate generating the priority of the received text; and alerting a user on an electronic device based at least in part on an alert criteria upon determining that the priority of the received text is greater than a predetermined threshold.
