摘要： A mechanism for modifying a chat distance associated with an environmental chat based on the avatar population density of an area of a virtual universe associated with the environmental chat. An initial environmental chat distance may be determined based on the avatar population density, i.e., the number of avatars, in the area of the virtual universe associated with the environmental chat. The environmental chat distance may be modified in response to a change in the number of avatars in the area of the virtual universe associated with the environmental chat. The environmental chat distance may be modified such that the environmental chat distance is inversely proportional to the detected number of avatars in the virtual universe area associated with the environmental chat.

摘要： A method for reconciling typographical errors, includes: receiving an electronic text message from a pervasive device with limited input keypads on a receiving device configured with a messaging application; determining an input protocol of the pervasive device; examining the electronic text message for words that are not in the messaging application's dictionary; identifying words that are not in the messaging application's dictionary; mapping each of the identified words to a set of keystrokes used to produce each of the identified words based on a series of input protocols that the receiving device has stored in a memory; utilizing each set of keystrokes from each of the input protocols in an algorithm to compute each permutation of the keystrokes; checking the computed permutations against the messaging application's dictionary to determine viable matches of the computed permutations; and presenting the viable matches to a user of the receiving device.

摘要： A method is provided for enhanced audio conferencing services. A request is received and authenticated for enhanced audio conferencing services. A calendar for the user is accessed, and scheduled conference calls of the user are determined from the calendar. A list of audio content for the user is accessed and provided to the user, such that a selected audio content from the list can be played in accordance with the scheduled conference calls. The user has options to play the audio content in between conference calls, louder than the conference calls, softer than the conference calls, and in one speaker while the conference calls play in another speaker. The scheduled conference call is called into so that it plays, and the selected audio content is played in accordance with the selected option. A trigger can stop the audio content and play the scheduled conference call in its place.

摘要： A captured content rights controller detects a first portion of streaming captured content and a second portion of the streaming captured content after the first portion of the streaming captured content is detected. The captured content rights controller determines whether rendering the second portion of the streaming captured content after the first portion of the streaming captured content is subject to at least one digital rights management protection rule for streaming captured content as specified by at least one owner of at least one restricted element within the streaming captured content captured independent of distribution of the content by the owner of the at least one restricted element within the streaming captured content. The captured content rights controller applies the at least one digital rights management protection rule to restrict rendering of the second portion of the streaming captured content after the first portion of the streaming captured content.

摘要： Computer implemented method, system and computer usable program code for managing conversational input. A first conversation between a user of a communications device and a first party is monitored. A conversation stub that includes information relating to a topic of the first conversation is generated and stored. It is determined whether a second party of a second conversation between the user of the communications device and the second party has expertise regarding the topic of the first conversation. Responsive to determining that the second party has expertise regarding the topic of the first conversation, the conversation stub is presented to the user during the second conversation.

摘要： A method, system and computer program product for improving accuracy and experience of a game. Signals are sent from a computer system to appropriate sensors based on a player's or game object's position to activate connected light-emitting fibers that are blended with grass on a playing field. The light-emitting fibers are activated in such a manner to display light to indicate an infraction (e.g., a player was in an offside position), a successful play (e.g., team made a first down), appropriate maneuvers, boundaries for a play, etc., thereby ensuring the game is fair and accurate and enhancing the experience of the game.

摘要： A method, system and computer program product for compensating the environmental motion in handheld devices. A sensor unit is affixed to an object in the environment to detect and measure environmental motion. Upon measuring any detected environmental motion, the sensor unit transmits a value corresponding to the measured environmental motion to one or more handheld devices. Alternatively, the sensor unit may transmit the value corresponding to the measured environmental motion to a unit configured to retransmit the value to one or more handheld devices. Upon receiving the value corresponding to the measured environmental motion, the handheld device cancels this environmental motion from the motion it measured thereby taking into consideration only the motion inputted by the user of the handheld device.
