摘要:
A method, computer program product and computer system for establishing an effective communication between two users in a virtual world, which includes measuring a communication capability for each of the users, and establishing a communication using a default type of communication, if a difference between the communication capabilities of the two users is not above a pre-determined threshold. The method, computer program product and computer system can further establish a communication using an alternate type of communication, if a difference is above the pre-determined threshold.

A method, article of manufacture, apparatus for determining keywords to be used by a search engine. In one embodiment, a list of hyperlinks contained in an electronic document is identified by a searching program. The searching program then accesses the resource content (e.g., HTML) from each resource pointed to by the hyperlinks. The resource content of each resource is examined to determine whether a commonality exists in a manner directed to identifying keywords for each resource. These keywords may then be used by a search engine to return more accurate results to user queries.

The invention is directed to an audience response detection interactive presentation tool. An interactive method for controlling a presentation in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: presenting a slide to an audience during a presentation; activating a noise level measuring system; measuring audience noise as a pointer is successively positioned over each of a plurality of selection mechanisms; deactivating the noise level measuring system; automatically selecting the selection mechanism associated with the loudest measured audience noise; and automatically performing a predetermined action based on the selected selection mechanism.

A method, system and computer program product for performing thread-specific display of breakpoints are disclosed. The method includes, in response to determining that an event received from a user interface is a request to update a source code of a software module, updating a source display pane and determining whether a first breakpoint is capable of firing in a current thread. In response to determining that the first breakpoint is not capable of firing in the current thread, the first breakpoint is displayed in an altered display state to indicate that the first breakpoint cannot be hit in the current thread.

A link structure and method for linking therein. The link structure includes a first page of a website and may include a global page of the website. The first page includes a link that has a default pointer and may have a local pointer, a global pointer, or both. The local pointer points to a local page and the global pointer points to the global page. A local link structure includes the local pointer but not the global pointer. A global link structure includes the global pointer but not the local pointer. A hybrid link structure includes the local pointer and the global pointer. Linking within the link structure may include linking from the link to the local page through the local pointer or linking from the link to the global page through the global pointer.

A system and method is provided for inserting into a display material copied to a clipboard. A user selects material to be copied the clipboard. The system selects and copies to the clipboard additional material. The user selects an insertion point for the user selected material, and the system displays to the user the user selected material and selective additional material. The system selected material is, in accordance with a more specific embodiment, that material which is needed to render the user selected material syntactically correct in the context of the insertion point.

A Caps Lock notification method, system, mechanism, algorithm, and computer program product. A determination is made as to whether a Caps Lock key of a computer keyboard is in an error state, based on ascertaining whether a first condition has been satisfied. If it is so determined that the Caps Lock key is in an error state, then a signal is generated to communicate to a user at the computer keyboard that the Caps Lock key is in the error state. The signal may be a visual signal, an audible signal, a tactile signal, an auditory signal, or a combination thereof. Satisfaction of a second condition may be used to disable the signal.

A computer based touchscreen includes a mechanism for displaying buttons on the touchscreen indicating the location where an user has touched the touchscreen. Because different operators will view the buttons from different angles, they will touch the touchscreen in different positions. An initial button or series of buttons of the application that the user is using is configured to sense the location where the user is touching. These initial button(s) are called adjusting buttons. The button sensing regions for the remaining buttons (non-adjusting buttons) are calibrated from these initial touched locations. For example, if the user tends to press high and to the right of the adjusting button(s), the orientation of the button sensing regions for the remaining buttons is calibrated high and to the right. Any screen that displays buttons can be used to calibrate or recalibrate the button sensing region for subsequent non-adjusting buttons. This allows for greater accuracy should the users change their view or angle of the touchscreen as they use the application. Thus, the computer dynamically adjusts the orientation of a touchscreen button's sensing region based on the location that the user has pressed for previous buttons. This dynamic adjustment allows a high density of buttons to be displayed on the touchscreen.

A method and system are disclosed for permitting multi-dimensional scrolling of overlapping data collections which are displayed in multiple layers or in a simulated three-dimensional manner within a data processing system. A moveable and selectable control icon, such as the scroll box, is displayed within a scroll bar in the data processing system in association with a display of a portion of a selected data collection. The portion of the selected data collection which is displayed may be scrolled in a vertical or horizontal direction by moving a control icon in a so-called "drag and drop" technique or by designating a new location within the scroll bar utilizing a graphical pointing device, such as a mouse. A display of a portion of an alternate data collection may be provided in response to a selection and manipulation of the scroll box by a user and the physical appearance of the depth of the scroll box is altered to provide a graphic indication of relative display position within the multiple layers of data collections thus displayed.

The method may be utilized for providing identification of blocks of text or other portions of a shared data object in a collaborative computer based system. The collaborative computer based system includes a plurality of workstations. Each workstation includes an output display device and a user input device. The system includes a shared data object, simultaneously accessible by a plurality of users of the system. Responsive to a user obtaining access to the shared data object, the user is assigned a cursor for display on the visual display devices of other users. The assigned cursor has a user related visual characteristic. Responsive to user selection, previously unselected portions of the shared data object may be associated to a user. Upon such association of a portion of the shared data object, a user related visual characteristic of the establishing user is extended to the newly associated portion. Further, a second visual attribute is extended to the object to identify the nature of the association, such as whether other users are to be locked out of modifying these associated portions.
