Abstract

A computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a computer device and from a user device, a draft social media message; determining, by the computer device and based on the receiving, data of an Internet of Things (IoT) device that is related to the draft social media message; generating, by the computer device and based on the determining, a suggested social media message that includes the data of the IoT device; and transmitting, by the computer device, the suggested social media message to the user device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a computer device and from a user device, a draft social media message;
determining, by the computer device and based on the receiving, data of an Internet of Things (IoT) device that is related to the draft social media message;
generating, by the computer device and based on the determining, a suggested social media message that includes the data of the IoT device; and
transmitting, by the computer device, the suggested social media message to the user device,
wherein the determining comprises: determining content of the draft social media message using natural language processing; and comparing the content of the draft social media message to stored classifications in the form of metadata associated with types of IoT devices,
further comprising determining, by the computer device, a sentiment of the draft social media message by performing sentiment analysis on text of the draft social media message, and performing an action based on the sentiment.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the suggested social media message includes the draft social media message and the data of the IoT device, the draft social media message having been generated by a user using a social media application program on the user device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data of the IoT device is determined from plural IoT devices registered with a user that drafted the draft social media message.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data of the IoT device is one type of data from a set of plural types of data of the IoT device.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the suggested social media message includes a link to display other ones of the plural types of data of the IoT device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the content of the draft social media message comprises determining key words of the draft social media message by analyzing text of the draft social media message using natural language processing, and the comparing comprises comparing the key words of the draft social media message to the stored classifications.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the content of the draft social media message comprises determining a topic of the draft social media message by analyzing text of the draft social media message using natural language processing, and the comparing comprises comparing the determined topic to the stored classifications.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the suggested social media message includes at least one user input to provide feedback to the computer device, the at least one user input comprising:
a first object to accept the suggested social media message, wherein user input selecting the first object causes a social media application program to post the suggested social media message to a social media site; and
a second object to decline the suggested social media message, wherein user input selecting the second object deletes the suggested social media message without posting the suggested social media message to the social media site.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
receiving, by the computer device, feedback via the at least one user input; and
revising one or more of the stored classifications based on the feedback.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the sentiment is determined to be a negative sentiment, and the performing the action based on the sentiment comprises providing, by the computer device, an alert of the negative sentiment in the suggested social media message.

11. A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computer device to:
receiving a draft social media message from a user device;
determine data of an Internet of Things (IoT) device that is related to the draft social media message;
determining a sentiment of the draft social media message by performing sentiment analysis on text of the draft social media message;
determine the sentiment of the message is a negative sentiment; and
based on the determining the negative sentiment, perform one of:
generate and transmit to the user device a suggested social media message that includes both the data of the IoT device and an alert of the negative sentiment; and
determine that the negative sentiment satisfies a rule that prohibits generating a suggested social media message that includes the data of the IoT device.

12. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the generated and transmitted suggested social media message includes the draft social media message.

13. The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the suggested social media message includes a link to display other data of the IoT device.

14. The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the determining data of the IoT device comprises comparing content of the draft social media message to stored classifications of data of plural IoT devices.

15. The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the suggested social media message includes at least one user input to provide feedback to the computer device.

16. A system comprising:
a processor, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage medium;
program instructions to receive data from an Internet of Things (IoT) device that is registered with a user;
program instructions to generate a suggested social media message using an algorithm, wherein the suggested social media message includes the data from the IoT device;
program instructions to transmit the suggested social media message to a user device for display via a user interface of a social media application; and
program instructions to revise the algorithm based on user feedback associated with the suggested social media message,
wherein the suggested social media message includes:
a first object to accept the suggested social media message, wherein user input selecting the first object causes the social media application to post the suggested social media message to a social media site; and
a second object to decline the suggested social media message, wherein user input selecting the second object deletes the suggested social media message without posting the suggested social media message to the social media site, and

wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the processor via the computer readable memory.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein:
the IoT device is one of plural IoT devices registered with the user; and
the receiving is based on monitoring data of all the plural IoT devices registered with the user.

18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the suggested social media message includes at least one user input to provide the user feedback.
