摘要:
The present invention provides a touch sensor track point (and methods) for a computer such as a laptop or portable device (e.g., PDA, cellular phone, etc.). The touch sensor track point includes a shaft (e.g., typically positioned on a keyboard) and a set (at least one) of directional sensors positioned over a top surface of the shaft. The set of directional sensors can detect manipulations in three dimensions (up-down, left-right, and in-out). In a typical embodiment, the touch sensor track point will cause a computer cursor to move in a direction that corresponds to a location on the set of directional sensors at which a vertical touch is applied. With such a capability, the touch applied to the set of vertical sensors can optionally be substantially horizontally motionless.

The present invention provides a method, system, and program product for managing conference calls. Specifically, under the present invention, a moderator and a set (at least one) of invitees (collectively referred to herein as participants) of a conference call are identified. This is typically done based on synchronization with a calendar application used to send and accept an invitation to the conference call. Thereafter, unique conference call numbers associated with the moderator and each of the set of invitees are determined (e.g., by accessing profiles for each participant contained within a directory or the like). Calls are then received from the moderator and invitees(s) using the unique conference call numbers assigned thereto. Although the calls were made using unique conference call numbers, the calls will then be joined under the present invention to initiate the conference call.
