Patent Document ID: 7873516
Application ID: 11742157

Base Claim:
1. A computer implemented method for providing context in an electronic text communication, the method comprising: identifying, by a processing unit in a computer, a first set of metrics based on a sender interacting with a biometric gathering input device, wherein the biometric gathering input device is associated with a sending data processing system; calibrating, by the processing unit, a sending communications process on the sending data processing system based on the first set of metrics; identifying, by the processing unit, a portion of the first set of metrics based on the sender interacting with the biometric gathering input device during generation of the electronic text communication to form a second set of metrics; and sending the second set of metrics and the electronic text communication from the sending communications process on the sending data processing system to a recipient data processing system, wherein the second set of metrics is represented at the recipient data processing system using criteria selected by a recipient of the electronic text communication.

Claim 2:
2. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising: rendering the second set of metrics and the electronic text communication visually on the sending data processing system using the criteria set by the sender, wherein the rendering of the second set of metrics on the sending data processing system dynamically changes based on actions generated by the sender during the generation of the electronic text communication; and permitting the sender to modify the second set of metrics prior to sending the second set of metrics from the sending data processing system to the recipient data processing system.
