An implementation for giving the guest carrying the pager ancillary information in a short range guest pager system, including a localized short range RF transmitter and portable wireless receiving pager with an activatable page indicator. The implementation comprises a pager housing supporting the pager indicator adapted to receive removable memory means in which the ancillary information is stored. There is a display in the housing with interactive user input means to the pager for selectively activating the display of the ancillary information, and display controller means in said housing for controlling said display of this ancillary information.

The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for checking for viruses by adding a virus scanning capability to a data transfer device. In a method of the present invention a real-time virus checker is stored on a controller. The virus checker scans data as it is being written to a file. If a virus is detected, the suspected file is flagged. Anti-virus software is then invoked to perform a scan of the entire suspected file. In this manner, demands on CPU resources to perform scans will be greatly reduced as only those files marked as possibly containing a viruse need to be scanned, rather than scanning all the files on the entire data transfer device.

A method of doing business that enables a computer power service broker operating over the World Wide Web (Web) to distribute and track such distribution of computer power. The computer power service broker solicits: each of a plurality of client computer stations on the Web to offer for general distribution over the Web computer power in excess to the computer power requirements of each respective client computer station; and a plurality of consumer stations on the Web to request the performance of functions requiring computer power. The broker then distributes each of said requested functions requiring computer power among a plurality of said client stations offering said computer power and then tracks and bills consumer stations for computer power used in performance of requested functions. Finally, the computer power broker tracks and compensates the client stations for the excess computer power that they contribute in performance of the requested functions. The compensation may be determined by the market value of the broken down functions or tasks.

A searching method in the Internet that correlates publicly available product reviews for products by initially predetermining a set of review terms indicative of a favorable review and also predetermining a set of review terms indicative of an unfavorable review. From a requesting station, databases in the Internet are searched for the product reviews as follows. Product reviews are distinguished from other documents mentioning the product that may also be in the searched databases. Each distinguished product review is then analyzed using the predetermined review terms indicative of favorable reviews and predetermined review terms indicative of unfavorable reviews. An overall determination is made as to whether each individual product review was favorable, unfavorable or balanced.

Systems, methods and media for monitoring user specific information on websites by searching websites and displaying the results based at least partially on geographical region are disclosed. Embodiments may include receiving a search request including one or more keywords and searching a database based on the received search request to generate search results, where the search results include an indication of one or more websites each with an associated geographical region. Embodiments may also include generating a geographical user interface page based on the search results, where the page includes an indication of the one or more opinion websites superimposed on a map based on their associated geographical region. Embodiments may further include transmitting the generated geographical user interface page. Further embodiments may include generating geography-based directed advertising based on the search results or receiving and storing a rating for a website from a user.

An electronic entertainment center housing that organizes the mass of wiring, adapters and convertors into a user friendly arrangement that permits the insertion and removal of the electronic components supported therein, as well as the tracking of errors in the entertainment center. The housing is adapted to removably support a plurality of different consumer electronic products. There are a plurality of external I/O connection outlets of different types in the housing and there is a connections spine in the housing that includes a plurality of I/O connection outlets of different types, a plurality of electrical connector paths for connecting pairs of the outlets in the spine with each other and a plurality of electrical connector paths for connecting outlets in said spine with the external outlets in said housing. At least one converter in at least one of the electrical connector paths converts an electrical signal input to one of said outlets of the connector path into a different electrical signal output from the other outlet of the connect or path.

A cache system for a computer. In a preferred embodiment, a DFI-cache (Dynamic Frequent Instruction cache) is queried simultaneously with a main cache, and if a requested address is in either cache, a hit results. The DFI-cache retains frequently used instructions longer than the main cache, so that the main cache can invalidate lines while still enjoying the benefits of a cache hit when next accessing that line.

A comprehensive method for coordinating cellular phones in a residential area to obviate the need for wired residential service. The present invention includes coordinating a set of wireless devices in a residential area to be able to receive a call directed to a user's cellular telephone. Said wireless devices can have different numbers and be serviced by different providers than the user's cellular telephone. Peer-to-peer relationships are formed between associated wireless communications devices, similar to IEEE 802.11 peer-to-peer relationships. A call could also be answered by another cellular telephone, or other device, such as a computer. All communicating handsets of associated wireless communications devices could join the call. The present invention would prevent a user from missing any incoming calls while at the user's residence. The present invention would also allow a user to receive calls at the user's residence on any associated communications device without the need for wired residential service.
摘要:
A system, method, and related computer program for isolating sections of data from a document for printing said designated data from received documents from the World Wide Web and like networks, or from documents such as pdf files, source code files, presentation, spread sheet, and Word documents. An interactive browser associated with each of the receiving stations in the network accesses received documents from the network and displays the documents at any receiving display station. The user is then able to isolate designated data and print only the designated data without the extraneous displayable data included in the received document. The browser further includes means for copying the designated data to create a secondary document having a document format structure which is independent of the format structure of the underlying received document. There is provided mean for storing this secondary document in association with the browser which is independent of said received Web document.
