摘要:
Web page annotation instructions comprise efficient and alternative instructions for rendering object data to a web page viewer, wherein the efficient instruction renders the object data to a web page viewer with less resource expenditure. An efficient rendering choice may be visually indicated and selectable by a viewer. Annotation instructions may indicate a relevance value of object data determinative of displaying object data. Efficient instructions may instruct a server device to not allocate new central processing units to serve requests to view the web page. Annotations may comprise first and second hypertext resource reference for a data object, wherein using the first results in rendering object data with a smaller resource expenditure than using the second, for example through divergent server efficiencies or divergent referenced object resolution properties. A resource contemplates energy and resource expenditures; generated waste, pollution and heat quantities and environmental impact.

A user may invoke energy savings in the operation of a computational device performing a processing task. The device performs the processing task in the invoked energy savings mode and determines an energy amount expended by the device in performing the processing task in the energy savings mode, creating a net energy savings value as a difference between the energy amount expended and a standard energy expenditure amount predicted as required for the computational device to perform the processing task in high-performance mode. The device displays the net energy savings value to the user, with the user continuing the invoking of the energy savings mode or engaging another performance mode for the computational device as a function of the displaying.

Described herein are processes and devices that create and manage documents in a virtual universe. One of the devices described is a virtual document converter. The virtual document converter analyzes a set of one or more graphical objects of a virtual document in a virtual universe. The virtual document presents document content. The virtual document converter determines format information for generating a document file. The virtual document converter parses the document content of the virtual document. The virtual document converter generates the document file with the parsed document content and the determined format information.

A system and method for implementing enhanced searching within a document in a data processing system. A search manager receives an original search term, wherein the original search term includes at least two words. The search manager creates a set of alternate search terms by: retrieving from a predetermined thesaurus database at least one synonym for at least one word in the original search term; and inserting at least on wildcard between the at least two words within the original search term. The search manager performs at least one search utilizing the set of alternate search terms and the original search term. The search manager ranks the search results from the at least one search according to a predetermined priority order. The search manager outputs the ranked search results.

An approach that protects intellectual property rights in content created by users of a virtual universe is described. In one embodiment, there is an intellectual property rights protection tool for use in a virtual universe. A receiving component is configured to receive a request to protect intellectual property rights in content created by a user of the virtual universe. A database is configured to store content created by users of the virtual universe that have intellectual property rights therein. A search component is configured to search the database for content created by users of the virtual universe that have intellectual property rights therein that is similar to the content created by the user. An analysis component is configured to determine whether any preexisting intellectual property rights in content stored in the database precludes intellectual property protection of the content created by the user.

Generally speaking, systems, methods and media for implementing a firewall control system responsive to user authentications are disclosed. Embodiments of a method may include receiving a data request at a firewall where the data request is associated with a program. Embodiments may include determining whether an authentication plan is required to be matched for the associated program and, if so, accessing a stored authentication plan associated with the program and having one or more authentication records each having expected information relating to user access to a particular server. Embodiments may include accessing a current authentication plan from an authentication store, the current authentication plan having one or more authentication records each having information relating to user access to a particular server. Embodiments may include comparing the stored authentication plan with the received current authentication plan to determine whether they match and, in response, performing one or more firewall actions.

Generally speaking, systems, methods and media for implementing a firewall control system responsive to remote system information are disclosed. Embodiments of a method may include receiving a data request at a firewall where the data request is associated with a program and determining whether a remote system condition exists for the associated program, where the remote system condition includes a condition to be satisfied based on information received from a particular remote system. Embodiments may also include, in response to determining that a remote system condition exists, determining whether the remote system condition is satisfied based on information received from the particular remote system. Embodiments may also include, in response to determining whether the remote system condition is satisfied, performing one or more firewall actions.
摘要:
A method of caching data at a processing node within a communication network can include predicting a future location of a user. A processing node within the communication network can be selected according to the future location. Data to be sent to the selected processing node can be selected. The selected data can be sent to the selected processing node.

The present invention provides an approach to invoke advertisement(s) in a VU. Specifically, an advertisement is virtually associated with a user of the virtual space. The advertisement will then be visually referenced in the VU, and optionally distinguished/highlighted (e.g., using visual effects such as colors, icons, flashing icons, etc.). The advertisement will be invoked in response to a trigger occurring in the VU user in the). Once invoked, an action associated with the advertisement will be executed. The present invention can also allow for advertising user to be compensated for allowing their asset(s) to be associated with advertisement(s). Such compensation can be in the form of credits associated with the VU being provided to the advertising user and/or compensation to be provided to the user outside of the VU (e.g., in the real world in the form of money, gift certificates, goods and/or services, etc.).
摘要:
A virtual universe system has a system and method for identifying spam avatars based upon the avatar's behavior characteristics through the use of Turing tests. The system may provide a Turing test unit for performing Turing tests and an analysis unit that compares the behavior characteristics of new or newly changed avatars against the behavior characteristics of known spam avatars to determine if the avatar has known spam avatar characteristics. It may further have a scoring system to calculate a spam score based upon similarities of the comparison and identifying the avatar as a spam avatar based upon the calculated spam score. It may further compare the calculated spam score with a spam score threshold wherein the avatar is identified as a spam avatar if the calculated spam score is equal to or greater than the calculated spam score.
