System and method for tracking ongoing group chat sessions

Abstract

A method, computer program product, and system is provided for tracking ongoing chat sessions. In an implementation, a method may include receiving, by one or more computing devices, an annotation of an ongoing group chat session. The method may also include associating, by the one or more computing devices, the annotation with the ongoing group chat session. The method may further include displaying, by the one or more computing devices, the annotation in a user interface associated with the ongoing group chat session. The method may also include receiving, by the one or more computing devices, at least one comment associated with the annotation from one or more participants of the ongoing group chat session.

1 . A method comprising:
 receiving, by one or more computing devices, an annotation of an ongoing group chat session;   associating, by the one or more computing devices, the annotation with the ongoing group chat session;   displaying, by the one or more computing devices, the annotation in a user interface associated with the ongoing group chat session;   receiving, by the one or more computing devices, at least one comment associated with the annotation from one or more participants of the ongoing group chat session; and   concurrently displaying, by the one or more computing devices, the at least one comment associated with the annotation in a transcript of the ongoing group chat session displayed in a first window of a user interface associated with the ongoing group chat session and displaying the annotation in a second window of the user interface associated with the ongoing group chat session.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein receiving the annotation of the ongoing group chat session includes one or more of:
 receiving the annotation based upon, at least in part, a user input; and   receiving the annotation based upon, at least in part, a selected portion of a transcript of the ongoing group chat session.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the transcript of the ongoing group chat session includes at least one of a real-time transcript of the ongoing group chat session and a stored transcript of the ongoing group chat session. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 concurrently displaying the at least one comment associated with the annotation in the user interface and a real-time transcript of the ongoing group chat session.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 associating permissions with the annotation.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the permissions associated with the annotation include at least one of a private permission and a public permission. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 storing the annotation, the at least one comment associated with the annotation, and a transcript of the ongoing group chat session in a data store.   
     
     
         8 . A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:
 receiving an annotation of an ongoing group chat session;   associating the annotation with the ongoing group chat session;   displaying the annotation in a user interface associated with the ongoing group chat session;   receiving at least one comment associated with the annotation from one or more participants of the ongoing group chat session; and   concurrently displaying the at least one comment associated with the annotation in a transcript of the ongoing group chat session displayed in a first window of a user interface associated with the ongoing group chat session and displaying the annotation in a second window of the user interface associated with the ongoing group chat session.   
     
     
         9 . The computer program product of  claim 8 , wherein receiving the annotation of the ongoing group chat session includes one or more of:
 receiving the annotation based upon, at least in part, a user input; and   receiving the annotation based upon, at least in part, a selected portion of a transcript of the ongoing group chat session.   
     
     
         10 . The computer program product of  claim 9 , wherein the transcript of the ongoing group chat session includes at least one of a real-time transcript of the ongoing group chat session and a stored transcript of the ongoing group chat session. 
     
     
         11 . The computer program product of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 concurrently displaying the at least one comment associated with the annotation in the user interface and a real-time transcript of the ongoing group chat session.   
     
     
         12 . The computer program product of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 associating permissions with the annotation.   
     
     
         13 . The computer program product of  claim 12 , wherein the permissions associated with the annotation include at least one of a private permission and a public permission. 
     
     
         14 . The computer program product of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 storing the annotation, the at least one comment associated with the annotation, and a transcript of the ongoing group chat session in a data store.   
     
     
         15 . A system comprising:
 at least one processor device and at least one memory architecture coupled with the at least one processor device, the at least one processor device configured for:   receiving an annotation of an ongoing group chat session;   associating the annotation with the ongoing group chat session;   displaying the annotation in a user interface associated with the ongoing group chat session;   receiving at least one comment associated with the annotation from one or more participants of the ongoing group chat session; and   concurrently displaying the at least one comment associated with the annotation in a transcript of the ongoing group chat session displayed in a first window of a user interface associated with the ongoing group chat session and displaying the annotation in a second window of the user interface associated with the ongoing group chat session.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein receiving the annotation of the ongoing group chat session includes one or more of:
 receiving the annotation based upon, at least in part, a user input; and   receiving the annotation based upon, at least in part, a selected portion of a transcript of the ongoing group chat session.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the transcript of the ongoing group chat session includes at least one of a real-time transcript of the ongoing group chat session and a stored transcript of the ongoing group chat session. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 concurrently displaying the at least one comment associated with the annotation in the user interface and a real-time transcript of the ongoing group chat session.   
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 associating permissions with the annotation.   
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein the permissions associated with the annotation include at least one of a private permission and a public permission.
