A method for improving communications in a digital collaboration environment by receiving a communication directed to a first user, determining that the first user is unavailable, in response to determining that the first user is unavailable, determining a second user based on an attribute, and notifying the second user about the communication directed to the first user.

A method for enabling the enhanced user-to-user communication in digital realities comprising generating a marker of a target user that is persistently applied on the target user; detecting, through a wireless network, the presence of a target user device and counterpart user device connected to the server via the wireless network; sending a notification to the counterpart user device informing about the presence of the target user device based on a set of rules; receiving one or more forms of interaction from the counterpart user device on the marker of the target user; opening up a communication channel between the counterpart user device and target user device; and receiving, processing and accordingly redirecting corresponding communications through and between the counterpart user device and target user device. A system thereof is also disclosed.

Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, computer program products, and systems. In response to receiving a message, embodiments of the present invention can determine a visibility metric associated with the received message. Embodiments of the present invention can then dynamically create a list of users able to interact with the message based on the determined visibility metric. Embodiments of the present invention can then perform an action based on the dynamically created list.

Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for improving the speed and rendering quality of an image (e.g., a JPEG), particularly in an end-to-end encrypted environment. The image may be analyzed on the sending-client side and the image data may be broken into a thumbnail and a full-quality image, where the full-quality image data relies on the thumbnail data to render a high-quality image. The image is uploaded to a blob store, and a message is sent to the receiving client with image information. At the recipient side, the JPEG image data is retrieved from the blob store and the thumbnail is first rendered. Subsequently, as the remainder of the image data is received at the receiving client, the image is updated. Consequently, images are rendered faster, and the thumbnail can be automatically downloaded so that a user can determine if they wish to download the full image.

Methods, servers and mobile stations are provided to allow a sender mobile station which has transmitted a message toward a recipient mobile station via a first protocol to be notified that the message has been delivered to the recipient mobile station via a different protocol. The sender mobile station may be notified that the message was delivered to the recipient mobile station via a different protocol method via a disposition notification message comprising an indication that the message was delivered to the recipient mobile station via a different protocol.

A technique for message history display includes combining message histories for multiple different messaging services. A system constructed according to the technique may include, for example, a message history database; a history aggregation engine that aggregates message logs for storage in the message history database; and a history provisioning engine that provides an aggregated message log associated with the user from the message history database to a requesting device. A method according to the technique may include, for example, identifying a device in association with a user profile; providing an online platform that receives messages from and sends messages to the device; and creating an aggregated log from messages sent to and from the device.
