Abstract: A method, system and program for specifying message outputs in a messaging session are provided. A message entry is received in association with a particular topic from among multiple available topics from a particular user from among multiple users participating in a messaging session. Output attributes are assigned to the message entry according to receiving user specified output preferences for the particular topic individually specified by each of the receiving users participating in the messaging session, such that output of the message entry is uniquely specified for each of the receiving users participating.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing a fine granularity alerting mechanism for alerting customers of the status of an order are provided. With the apparatus and methods, a customer selects a supplier of a good or service and places an order with the supplier. Upon submitting the order to the supplier, a session between the supplier and the customer is initiated such that the customer may be provided with one or more alerts of the current status of the customer's order. The one or more alerts may be periodic or may be based on the occurrence of one or more certain events. The alerts may include an estimated time of travel from a customer's current location to a location at which the order is to be completed along with an estimated time of completion of the order. In one embodiment, if the estimated time of travel from the customer's current location to the completion location is the same or within a certain tolerance of the estimated time of completion of the order, an alert is transmitted to the customer indicating that the customer should begin traveling to the completion location. In another embodiment, the alerts may include an estimated cost of the order based on a base cost for the product or service ordered as well as incremental costs for delay on the part of the customer for completion of the order.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for processing a user input. A user input selecting an image on a page is detected. The image selected by the user input is sent to a server to perform a search in response to detecting the user input. The server performs object recognition analysis on the image to generate a text description of the image. Alternatively, the server may perform an image search for resources with similar images or properties. This text description, which may include one or more words, is used as the basis of the search. A result of the search is received in response to sending the image to the server to form a received result. The received result is displayed. Further, other contextual information associated with the image may be used in addition to or in place of the image in generating the search.

Abstract: The system, method, and program of the invention captures actual physical gestures made by a participant during a chat room or instant messaging session or other real time communication session between participants over a network and automatically transmits a representation of the gestures to the other participants. Image processing software analyzes successive video images, received as input from a video camera, for an actual physical gesture made by a participant. When a physical gesture is analyzed as being made, the state of the gesture is also determined. The state of the gesture identifies whether it is a first occurrence of the gesture or a subsequent occurrence. An action, and a parameter for the action, is determined for the gesture and the particular state of the gesture. A command to the API of the communication software, such as chat room software, is automatically generated which transmits a representation of the gesture to the participants through the communication software.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for converting programs and source code files written in a programming language to equivalent markup language files is provided. The conversion may be accomplished by a static process or by a dynamic process. In a static process, a programming source code file is converted by an application to a markup language file. A document type definition file for a markup language is parsed; a source code statement from a source code file is parsed; an element defined in the document type definition file is selected based on an association between the element and an identifier of a routine in the source code statement; and the selected element is written to a markup language file. In a dynamic process, the program is executed to generate the markup language file that corresponds to the source code file or presentation steps of the program. The application program is executed; a document type definition file for a markup language is provided as input; an element defined in the document type definition file is selected based on a routine called by the application program; and the selected element is written to a markup language file.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for magnifying information with contextual information. The user may configure the magnification mechanism to present some contextual information along with the focus being magnified. Particularly, a user may set “look ahead” and “look behind” parameters to specify a number of words or characters to include before and after the magnified word or words. The actual magnified word or words may be distinguished from the contextual information. For example, the word or words being magnified may be magnified to a size that is larger than that of the contextual information. The magnification mechanism may also present a magnified display of image information.

Abstract: A system and method for providing advertisements in web based printing. A remote printing web server receives advertisements from one or more advertisers. The advertisements may include target audience attributes, such as the profession of target audience members. Digital advertising images and the target audience information is stored on the remote printing web server. A print user connects to the remote printing web server using a browser. Information about the user, such as the user's occupation, are gathered in order to match the user with appropriate advertisements. Advertisements are identified and combined with the document that the user wishes to print. The combined document is then printed on a printer connected to the remote printing web server. In addition, the document that the user wishes to print may be analyzed for document content in order to further select appropriate advertisements to include on the user's printouts.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for alerting authorities during a car theft. A personal identification number, either a normal code or a duress code, is received into an vehicle security system. If the duress code has been entered, then the security system is disarmed, wherein the vehicle may be entered and driven away without any indication of an alarm. However, the duress code triggers a process by which authorities are notified and the location of the vehicle may be provided. The vehicle is disabled upon a certain event or condition, such as a pre-determined amount of time passing or a pre-determined distance driven. The method may also require satisfying a second event or condition before disabling the vehicle, such as the vehicle traveling at a low speed, in order to avoid causing an unsafe condition. The duress code preferably has an identical number of alphanumeric characters as a normal personal identification number entered to disarm the security system.

Abstract translation: 汽车盗窃时提醒警务人员的方法，计算机程序产品和系统。 个人识别号码，正常码或胁迫码被接收到车辆安全系统中。 如果输入了胁迫代码，则安全系统被撤防，其中车辆可以进入并被驱走而没有任何警报指示。 然而，胁迫码触发了通知当局的过程，并且可以提供车辆的位置。 车辆在某些事件或状况下被禁用，例如预先确定的时间量或预定距离被驱动。 在禁止车辆（例如，以低速行驶的车辆）之前，该方法还可能需要满足第二事件或状况，以避免造成不安全的状况。 胁迫代码优选地具有与输入以撤防安全系统的普通个人识别号相同数量的字母数字字符。
