    摘要: A method, system and apparatus for the selective suspension of real time data exchanges for unreliable network connections. A selective real time data exchange suspension method can include detecting a network outage condition affecting a real time data exchange. As an example, the real time data exchange can be an exchange of speech data provided by a real time speech server over a data communications network. Subsequently, the real time data exchange can be selectively suspended but not terminated. Finally, the real time data exchange can resume when the network outage condition has been alleviated.

    摘要: A method for adjusting an instant messaging control mechanism can include the steps of determining a control setting for an instant messaging control mechanism based upon a calendar application entry, and responsive to the determining step, automatically adjusting the instant messaging control mechanism to the control setting. In one embodiment, the determining step can be performed by a calendar application to which the calendar application entry corresponds and can be performed responsive to a calendar event. In a further embodiment, the calendar application can establish a time at which the control setting is to be adjusted. The adjusting step can occur at approximately the established time, where the calendar event can occur in advance of the established time.
