Transition between private and non-private state

摘要

This patent is generally directed to techniques for automatically translating applications - particularly those that allow the exchange of messages between users - into and / or out of a private state based on a variety of signals sent to the messages and / or the participants themselves are assigned, addressed. In various implementations, a running message exchange thread may be examined between two or more participants running two or more respective exchange clients. At least in part, based on the investigation, a likelihood may be determined that one or more messages addressed by one of the participants as part of the current message exchange thread to another of the participants are shared by at least one given participant of the two or more participants kept private. A determination may be made as to whether the determined probability satisfies one or more thresholds, and in response, one or more of the messaging clients may be transitioned to a private state.
