    摘要: A method, system, and computer program product for improving transportation selection and acquisition. A computer transmits historical fare and rating data of one or more public transportation vehicles (PTVs) within range of a user operating a mobile telecommunication device (MTD). The user may, via the MTD, select a PTV based on the provided historical fare or ratings data. Alternatively, the user may select a PTV based on personal preferences. In response to receiving a PTV selection from the MTD, the computer issues instructions to cause the selected PTV to be dispatched to the user's location. The computer may also receive user feedback for the selected PTV from the user in the form of a rating or as a textual comment. Customer feedback and may be used to update historical record information of a corresponding database entry for the selected PTV. This information may then be referenced by future customers.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and product for reducing resource footprints for printer operation outputs, comprising: specifying a print job rendering criteria; receiving a request to print a print job having a page number amount; and automatically selecting and printing a portion of the print job as a function of the print job rendering criteria, wherein the portion has a page number amount smaller than the print job page number amount. The print job rendering criteria may comprise a set maximum number of pages to print during one printing session, where the portion to print is less than or equal to the maximum number of pages. Where the print job comprises a plurality of document components, automatically selecting and printing a portion of the document may comprise selecting a subset of the plurality of components as a function of the identified component relevance to each selected component and printing the representation.

    摘要: Web application users are able to specify power constraints for remote web servers. These may be based on individual performance needs and energy-conservation desires. They enable the user to exercise control over the amount of energy that the web server expends in serving the needs of the user. The invention may employ such features as vertical scaling using power capacity on demand (CUoD) type functionality. The method includes providing a user-interactive interface to enable the user to indicate a preference for power restrictions with respect to its web requests. The user then instructs the web site provider to reduce power consumption in response to the user's request. The user specifies a reduction in overall power consumption for the user's needs, such as instructing the web service provider to use an energy-conserving server to handle the user's web requests, or specifying a acceptable delay or fulfilling the user's web requests.

    摘要: An approach that provides transmission and notification of a real-world event to a virtual universe user is described. In one embodiment, there is a method for notifying a resident that is on-line in a virtual universe of an occurrence of a real-world event. The method includes receiving an indication of the occurrence of the real-world event, mapping the indication of the real-world event into one of a plurality of communication representations, and notifying the resident in the virtual universe in accordance with the mapped communication representation.

    摘要: A virtual universe can include regions that conserve natural resource usage. A virtual universe natural resource conservation system can determine a measure of comprehensive energy usage of a plurality of devices associated with a controlled energy use region in a virtual universe. The system can determine that the measure of comprehensive energy usage approaches a usage threshold for the controlled energy use region. The system can also impose one or more conservation limitations on at least one of the plurality of devices to maintain the comprehensive energy usage within the usage threshold.

    摘要: A virtual universe can include regions that conserve natural resource usage. A virtual universe natural resource conservation system (“system”) can determine that an avatar is accessing a natural resource conservation region in a virtual universe. The natural resource conservation region is supported with one or more devices that adhere to restrictions on natural resource usage. The system can also apply one or more virtual universe restrictions while the avatar is accessing the natural resource conservation region.
