摘要： A task access system implements a methodology that facilitates one to explore and execute tasks possible in a network such as a home network environment. The system provides interfaces to access task information and supports several types of functionalities that help in customization of the task information based on the requesting user's state/context. The system supports composing a task request in different ways. It allows a task request to be composed and executed in an incremental fashion or at one-go, thus enabling user interface applications to be flexible. When a user requests to know the tasks available in the network, the system applies security policies and more user context information to customize and prioritize the tasks available for each user and ensures that the user interface application does not display tasks that are not executable by the user. Further, the system dynamically updates the user interface application based on the user input and any changes in the network environment, such as addition or removal of devices/services, thus ensuring only meaningful information is displayed to the user. In addition, the user is updated with the newly possible tasks and the ones no longer available. By dynamically updating the choices available for the user, the system effectively guides the user input.

摘要： A method and system for providing persistent media across Web pages using only browser plug-ins. Media selected through a Web browser can play in a way that is embedded in the content, but the media can continue to play while Web pages transition. The content providers benefit from the flexibility of content use, while the user can enjoy playing media without interruptions. The media can stop persisting when the content provider so chooses.

摘要： A method and system that implement a process for managing video information on a video recording device. The management process involves receiving a video input signal including a video stream, obtaining content information corresponding to the video stream, associating the content information with the video stream, and storing the video stream and associated content information in a database as a searchable index for the video stream. The searchable index includes location of the stored video stream and identifies the associated content information. Then, content information from an input signal corresponding to a video stream is captured for analysis and searching the index to identify stored video streams related to the video program for suggestion to the user.

摘要： A synchronization controller in a network of devices, provides content synchronization between the available content in the network and the content on another device. When the synchronization controller identifies the device for content synchronization with the home network, the synchronization controller attempts to match the device's content with content available in the home network. When there is a mismatch, the content manager starts a content session to transfer content from the device to the home network, or vice versa. During this process, the device need not know which home device it synchronized to, nor does it need to know what kind of format the content is stored in.

摘要： Method and apparatus for extending functionality of a first set of classes and methods in an application hosted by a computing arrangement. A mapping is established that maps original class names in the first set to corresponding substitute class names of classes in a second set. The classes in the second set change the functionality of the classes in the first set. In response to loading a class file of a class in the first set, the original class names are replaced with corresponding substitute class names in the class file. Classes referenced by the substitute class names are then instantiated in lieu of classes referenced by the original class names.

摘要： A locking system for securing an electronic device includes a locking signal transmitter anchored at a physical location away from the electronic device to transmit a locking signal. A receiver resides in the electronic device to receive the locking signal. A controller is coupled to the receiver and circuitry of the electronic device to virtually lock the electronic device at its location when the receiver keeps receiving the locking signal, and to disable the electronic device from being accessed after the receiver has stopped receiving the locking signal for a predetermined time period. The locking does not have any effect on functioning of the electronic device as long as the locking signal is received. When the device is unlocked, failure of the device lock to receive the locking signal also does not have any effect on the electronic device.
