摘要:
An authorization system and computer program for provision and process of a personal identification number (PIN) via a short-message-service (SMS) text message to a mobile communication device. The authorization system and computer program receive a communication from the user indicating a one-time-authorization mode. The authorization system and computer program retrieve information from a point-of-sales location and process a unique identifier for the mobile communication device. A text message is sent to the identified mobile device. The message communicates a one-time-use PIN with required PIN return via the point-of-sales system. The confirmation is processed, which authorization only occurring after confirmation. The PIN response period is voided after a short time, further improving security of the transaction.

An improved method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing a set of servers. Responsive to an indication that an alteration of applications on the set of servers providing a service is to occur, a first group of servers and a second group of servers are created from the set of servers. The first group is designated for handling ongoing sessions with unaltered applications. The applications in the second group are altered. A server from the first group is transitioned to the second group as ongoing sessions handled in the first group decrease in number to form a transitioned server, wherein the alteration of the applications are performed without interrupting the service.

摘要:
A system, system, and program for automatically inferring and updating an availability status of a user are provided. At least one current activity of a user is detected, where the current activity includes at least one system level event within a computer environment accessible to the user. A current availability status for a particular communication request is inferred from the current activity of the user in view of multiple availability rules, where the multiple availability rules map current activity to multiple possible availability statuses. In addition, inference of the current availability status is determined based on the identity of the requester of communication with the user, where the multiple availability rules map the requester identity in combination with the current activity to multiple availability rules. Output of the current availability status is controlled, such that the requester of the particular communication request is notified of an availability of the user to respond to the particular communication request.

Smart furniture is provided that automatically adjusts to a person's preferences based on an identification of the person. A person may be equipped with an identification device, such as a radio frequency identification device. The smart furniture may include a reader for the identification device to identify a person using the piece of furniture. The smart furniture may also include storage in which settings profiles of users are stored. The smart furniture may then receive a profile that matches the person using the furniture and set adjustable features according to the profile. Settings profiles may be uploaded to or downloaded from a remote storage using a wireless communications interface, such as a wireless network interface.

In a particular embodiment, a method includes sending a text string from a source device to a destination device. The destination device includes a unique identifier repository having a plurality of globally unique identifiers mapped text strings, relationship data defining associations between the plurality of globally unique identifiers, and meta-data related to the text string. Each of the plurality of globally unique identifiers includes a data value that is shared by a plurality of data sources as an identifier associated with information related to the text string. The method further includes receiving data including one or more globally unique identifiers, associated relationship data, and associated meta-data from the destination device at the source device in response to sending the text string. Additionally, the method includes storing the received data at a memory of the source device for use in searching and relating search results received from multiple data sources.

In a particular embodiment, a system includes an interface responsive to a network to receive data related to a first document and includes processing logic and memory accessible to the processing logic. The memory stores a plurality of modules executable by the processing logic to recursively retrieve documents, extract directed links and attributes, and traverse the directed links to identify a first set of search results. The plurality of modules includes a search module to retrieve one or more documents and includes an attribute extraction module to extract directed links and other attributes from the one or more documents. The plurality of modules further includes a backward/forward link traversal module to bi-directionally traverse directed links to identify documents and includes a graphical user interface (GUI) module to generate a GUI including data related to the first set of search results and to provide the GUI to a destination device via the network.
摘要:
A mechanism is provided for efficiently distributing and remotely managing meeting presentations. Participants download presentation documents to local storage ahead of time. The presentation then runs in an environment that allows the meeting host to send events to the participants to remotely manage the meeting. In one preferred embodiment, the participants are allowed to control the meeting events locally and a status is transmitted back to the host. The host may then view the status of each of the participants to help control progress through the meeting.

An instant messaging client presents messages and removes the messages from display after a predetermined amount of time. In one preferred embodiment, the predetermined amount of time is agreed upon by all participants during a policy negotiation. Each message may be associated with a display time and when the current time differs from the display time by a predetermined amount, the message is removed from the display. Messages may also be presented in a non-editable display area to prevent manual logging of the messaging content.
