Abstract

Disclosed aspects relate to obtainability management in a social networking environment. A set of target recipients of a message may be detected in the social networking environment. A set of obtainability data may be ascertained with respect to the set of target recipients using the social networking environment. A message modification action may be determined using the set of obtainability data with respect to the set of target recipients. The message modification action may be performed in the social networking environment.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method for obtainability management in a social networking environment, the method comprising:
detecting, in the social networking environment, a set of target recipients of a message;
ascertaining, using the social networking environment, a set of obtainability data with respect to the set of target recipients;
determining, using the set of obtainability data with respect to the set of target recipients, a message modification action;
configuring the set of obtainability data to include a set of auxiliary fulfillment data with respect to the set of target recipients;
detecting a first obtainability status of a first target recipient;
comparing the first obtainability status with a threshold obtainability;
computing that the first obtainability status of the first target recipient does not achieve the threshold obtainability;
determining, based on the set of auxiliary fulfillment data, an auxiliary recipient; and
structuring, in the social networking environment, the message to include the auxiliary recipient to achieve the threshold obtainability; and
performing, in the social networking environment, the message modification action.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing, based on and in response to determining the message modification action and to perform the message modification action, a candidate change of the set of target recipients of the message.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
modifying, to perform the message modification action, the set of target recipients of the message.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, based on the set of obtainability data with respect to the set of target recipients, a set of circumstance indicators related to one or more message recipient response activities; and
providing, in the social networking environment, the set of circumstance indicators.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, using the set of obtainability data with respect to the set of target recipients, a set of content data for the message; and
establishing, in the social networking environment to perform the message modification action, the set of content data for the message.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
configuring the set of auxiliary fulfillment data to include a set of user relationships having a set of matching capabilities related to a set of tasks; and
determining, based on the set of user relationships having the set of matching capabilities related to the set of tasks, the auxiliary recipient.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying, pertaining to the set of target recipients of the message, a set of recipient characteristics; and
determining, based on the set of recipient characteristics, the message modification action.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
sensing a set of historical context content data which pertains to the message; and
identifying, based on the set of historical context content data, the set of recipient characteristics.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
configuring the message modification action to include selecting a set of chosen recipients; and
selecting, based on a set of recipient selection criteria, the set of chosen recipients.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
structuring the set of recipient selection criteria to include a user mention factor.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
structuring the set of recipient selection criteria to include a user activity factor.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
structuring the set of recipient selection criteria to include a user diversity factor.

13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
structuring the set of recipient selection criteria to include a user allotment factor.

14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
structuring the set of recipient selection criteria to include a user response expectation factor.

15. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
resolving, based on the set of obtainability data with respect to the set of target recipients, an obtainability model; and
providing, in the social networking environment, the obtainability model.

16. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
executing, in a dynamic fashion to streamline obtainability management in the social networking environment, each of:
the detecting, the ascertaining, the determining, and the performing.

17. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
executing, in an automated fashion without user intervention, each of:
the detecting, the ascertaining, the determining, and the performing.

18. A system for obtainability management, the system comprising:
a memory having a set of computer readable computer instructions, and
a processor for executing the set of computer readable instructions, the set of computer readable instructions including:
detecting, in the social networking environment, a set of target recipients of a message;
ascertaining, using the social networking environment, a set of obtainability data with respect to the set of target recipients;
determining, using the set of obtainability data with respect to the set of target recipients, a message modification action;
configuring the set of obtainability data to include a set of auxiliary fulfillment data with respect to the set of target recipients;
detecting a first obtainability status of a first target recipient
comparing the first obtainability status with a threshold obtainability;
computing that the first obtainability status of the first target recipient does not achieve the threshold obtainability;
determining, based on the set of auxiliary fulfillment data, an auxiliary recipient; and
structuring, in the social networking environment, the message to include the auxiliary recipient to achieve the threshold obtainability; and
performing, in the social networking environment, the message modification action.

19. A computer program product for obtainability management, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
detecting, in the social networking environment, a set of target recipients of a message;
ascertaining, using the social networking environment, a set of obtainability data with respect to the set of target recipients;
determining, using the set of obtainability data with respect to the set of target recipients, a message modification action;
configuring the set of obtainability data to include a set of auxiliary fulfillment data with respect to the set of target recipients;
detecting a first obtainability status of a first target recipient;
comparing the first obtainability status with a threshold obtainability;
computing that the first obtainability status of the first target recipient does not achieve the threshold obtainability;
determining, based on the set of auxiliary fulfillment data, an auxiliary recipient; and
structuring, in the social networking environment, the message to include the auxiliary recipient to achieve the threshold obtainability; and
performing, in the social networking environment, the message modification action.
