摘要： A license handling information handling system receives an electronic message from a first computer system utilized by a first user. The first user's message requests a license to a licensed product that has previously been purchased by the organization. The license handling information handling system identifies a second user in the organization that currently has a license to the licensed product, and requests that the second user relinquish the license to the licensed product. The second user indicates that the second user's license will be relinquished for a temporary time period. The licensing handling information handling system sends an electronic message, including the temporary time period, to the first user. In response to the first user accepting the temporary time period, the second user's license to the licensed product is revoked, and the first user is granted a license to the licensed product.

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for product identification using image analysis and user interaction. The method may include comparing a retail product image to a plurality of candidate retail product images. In addition, the method may include generating a candidate product set containing candidate retail product images satisfying image comparison criteria. The method may determine one or more product identity queries configured to solicit additional product identity information from a user. In addition, the product identity queries may eliminate one or more members of the candidate product set. The method may query the user with these inquiries and determine a product match based on the user's response. Therefore a user may obtain information about a product using only a picture and a user's knowledge of the product.

摘要： When captured content is detected, the captured content is analyzed to determine whether any portion of the content is subject to digital rights management protection specified for content captured. Responsive to determining that the captured content is subject to a first digital rights management protection, a database is queried to select at least one digital rights management rule associated with a first restricted element specifying at least one first criteria for combining the first restricted element with at least one other element. A determination is made whether the first restricted element is combined with the at least one other element in the captured content. Responsive to detecting the first restricted element is combined with the at least one other element, the captured content rights controller determines a combined digital rights management protection rule reconciling the at least one first criteria for combining the first restricted element with the presence of the at least one other element. The combined digital rights management rule is applied to restrict use of the captured content.

摘要： A change in contact information for a communicator can be identified. Contact metrics can be acquired for the communicator. The contact metrics can specify details of communications between the communicator and at least one other party. At least one previously established programmatic rule can be applied to the acquired contact metrics to automatically determine whether each of the parties is a recipient who should be notified of the change in contact information based upon comparing the contact metrics relating to that party and the communicator against at least one previously established threshold. Recipients can be selectively added to a recipient list based upon results of the applied programmatic rule. The recipient list can represent a listing of parties who are to be notified of the change in contact information.

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.
