Abstract: Communications, such as emails or other information, in a work setting can be retained in a shared database that operates similar to an Internet social network. As work activities are performed, the content of the work activities can be associated with one or more shared databases based on the individual performing the activities, a common topic or theme associated with the activity and/or a manual entry. As various individuals review information contained in the shared database, notifications relating to who reviewed the content and a time of review can be sent to a contributor of the content to provide for accountability issues.

Abstract translation: 可以将工作设置中的诸如电子邮件或其他信息的通信保留在类似于因特网社交网络的共享数据库中。 当执行工作活动时，工作活动的内容可以基于执行活动的个人，与活动相关联的共同主题或主题和/或手动输入与一个或多个共享数据库相关联。 由于各种个人审查共享数据库中包含的信息，有关谁审查内容和审查时间的通知可以发送给内容的贡献者，以提供问责问题。

Abstract: A current set of user-selectable choices is associated with a displayed graphical input device, which is used to select a value of an input parameter. Each user-selectable choice has at least one pair of information fields separated by a delimiter and each information field comprises sequentially ordered characters. A search for a matching entry to assign to the input parameter is carried out as the user enters each of a sequence of characters, and if a match is not found in a first information field, then (or simultaneously) it is sought in a different information field, also on the basis of the character-by-character user entries.

Abstract translation: 当前用户可选择的选择集合与显示的图形输入设备相关联，所述图形输入设备用于选择输入参数的值。 每个用户可选择的选择具有由分隔符隔开的至少一对信息字段，并且每个信息字段包括顺序排序的字符。 当用户输入每个字符序列时，执行对输入参数的匹配条目的搜索，并且如果在第一信息字段中没有找到匹配，则（或同时）寻找不同的字符 信息字段，也是基于逐个字符的用户条目。

Abstract: Meeting attendees can have the resources available to participate in an efficient meeting regardless of where the attendees are located (e.g., across from each other or thousands of miles apart). Information can be gathered that relates to the attendees, the subject matter of the meeting or other information. In addition, relationships between attendees, if any, can be determined and displayed to the attendees to show the interrelatedness of the group. Various aspects during the meeting can also be observed and analyzed to allow the attendees to become more aware of the dynamics between individuals as well as the entire team.

Abstract translation: 会议与会者可以利用资源参与有效的会议，无论参加者所处的位置（例如，彼此相隔或数千英里相隔）。 可以收集与参加者有关的信息，会议的主题或其他信息。 此外，与会者之间的关系（如果有）可以确定并显示给与会者，以显示该组的相互关联。 还可以观察和分析会议的各个方面，让与会者更加了解个人与整个团队之间的动态。

Abstract: As incoming communications are received, a priority or significance level can be assigned to each communication. A communication determined to have a high priority can be presented to a user at substantially the same time as receiving the communication. A communication having a low priority can be placed in a low priority folder or flagged differently from a high priority communication (e.g., different color-coding). Behavior of a user as it relates to a received communication can be observed for learning purposes or to modify one or more classifications or priority levels.

Abstract translation: 当接收到进入的通信时，可以为每个通信分配优先级或重要性级别。 在接收到通信的基本上相同的时间，可以向用户呈现被确定为具有高优先级的通信。 具有低优先级的通信可以放置在低优先级文件夹中或与高优先级通信（例如，不同的颜色编码）不同的标记。 为了学习目的或为了修改一个或多个分类或优先级，可以观察用户与所接收的通信有关的行为。

Abstract: One or more parameters, such as time, are reported to a center using a form. The center then automatically extracts data from the form and converts it for storage and subsequent processing or review. The form is preferably a tangible form, which the sender completes, and then faxes or emails to the center. Image capture, registration, and feature recognition routines are included to enable the center to extract the reported data with no need for data reentry or human intervention. The invention is particularly suitable for remote employees who need to submit time sheets, expense reports, and the like to an employer, or for automatic analysis of submitted inventory reports, product orders, etc.

Abstract translation: 一个或多个参数（如时间）使用表单报告给中心。 然后中心自动从表单中提取数据，并将其转换为存储和后续处理或审查。 表格最好是有形的形式，发件人完成，然后传真或电子邮件到中心。 包括图像捕获，注册和特征识别程序，使中心能够提取报告的数据，无需进行数据重入或人为干预。 本发明特别适用于需要向雇主提交时间表，费用报告等的远程雇员，或自动分析已提交的库存报告，产品订单等。

Abstract: One or more parameters such as time is reported to a center using a form. The center then automatically extracts data from the form and converts it for storage and subsequent processing or review. The form is preferably a physical form, which the sender fills in and then faxes to the center. Image capture, registration, and feature recognition routines are included to enable the center to extract the reported data with no need for data reentry or human intervention. The invention is particularly suitable for employees who need to submit time sheets, expense reports, and the like to an employer, or for automatic analysis of submitted inventory reports, product orders, etc.

Abstract: A peer-to-peer communication system that transmits application data from an application component on one network peer to an application component on another network peer. A programming interface is provided to the communication system to facilitate programming of applications that rely on peer-to-peer communications. The communication system uses messaging providers to which each peer may be connected for purposes other than communications between peer-to-peer application components, thereby reducing the resources a peer-to-peer application requires for communication and making the system advantageous for use in portable electronic devices. Additionally, the communication system uses addresses already assigned in each messaging provider, allowing peer-to-peer communication between peers that may otherwise have been non-addressable.

Abstract translation: 一种对等通信系统，将应用数据从一个网络对等体上的应用组件传输到另一个网络对等体上的应用组件。 向通信系统提供编程接口，以方便对依赖于对等通信的应用进行编程。 通信系统使用每个对等体可以连接的消息传递提供者，用于对等应用组件之间的通信以外的目的，从而减少对等应用对于通信所需的资源，并使系统有利于在便携式 电子设备。 另外，通信系统使用已经在每个消息传递提供者中分配的地址，允许对等体之间的对等通信，否则可能是不可寻址的。
