Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable code for shredding objects. The apparatus has a number of components including a receptacle that is configured to receive objects. A shredding unit is connected to the receptacle, wherein the shredding unit selectively destroys the objects placed into the receptacle. An object detector is used to detect the presence of an object in the receptacle. An object identifier identifies objects placed into the receptacle. The apparatus also has a memory and a connector. The connector is used to establish a communications link with a data processing system. A controller in the apparatus stores identifications of objects identified by the object identifier in the memory and sends a signal to the shredding unit to control shredding of the objects.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a Web browser to display an alternate home page when a default home page is not presently accessible are provided. The method and apparatus ensures that the default home page is presently accessible before the browser contacts the computer system hosting the home page, when the web browser is first activated. If the default home page is accessible, it is accessed and displayed. If not, an alternate home page is accessed and displayed. In one embodiment of the invention, the invention uses a scheduler (i.e., time and day that the home page may be accessible) to determine whether the home page is presently accessible. In another embodiment, the invention uses IP addresses to determine whether the host computer and the computer used by the user are within the same network. If the two computers are within the same network, then the home page is determined to be presently accessible; otherwise, it is determined to be presently inaccessible.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing multi-threaded conversations in an instant messaging system. The present invention provides a menu option to allow the start of a new topic of discussion within the current instant messaging session. When a new topic is selected, a new thread of conversation is created within the messaging window that is segregated from previous topics of discussion. This new thread of conversation may be created at all other locations for all of the parties involved in the instant messaging session. In this manner, each party to a messaging session containing multiple conversations may be able to understand which response is related to which thread of conversation. In addition, a menu option may be provided by the instant messaging application to allow a user to merge one or more of the threaded conversations into a single conversation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for sharing one or more graphics images between devices using profiles. A request to establish a communications link is transmitted from a first device to a second device using a first profile. A response indicating acceptance of the first profile or a request to negotiate a different profile is received from the second device. A profile matching the second device is negotiated and selected at the first device. One or more graphics images are transmitted from the first device to the second device using the profile matching the second device.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for establishing a communication connection between a first party and a second party using a secured communication connection object are provided. With the apparatus and method, a first party generates the secured communication connection object by setting parameters identifying and limiting the use of the secured communication connection object for establishing communication connections with the first party. These parameters are encapsulated with contact information for the first party such that the contact information is encrypted. The resulting secured communication connection object is then transmitted to a second party's communication device. When the second party wishes to establish a communication connection with the first party, the secured communication connection object is accessed in memory using information obtained from the object registry, the contact information is decrypted, and a communication unit is provided with the contact information for establishing a communication connection.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a multi-way connection management (MWCM) system for monitoring and maintaining call connections among a group of participating parties. The multi-way call connection may be established by connecting the originating party and the desired participating parties. Once a multi-way call connection is established, the multi-way call connection may be maintained until the originating party desires to terminate the call. Any disconnected party may rejoin the multi-way call by an automatic redial performed by the MWCM system. Additionally, the originating party may provide a call continuation period of the multi-way call when the originating party can rejoin the multi-way call. In this manner, other participating parties may stay in the multi-way call during the provided period without the originating party being connected. Advantageously, the originating party may save the time and effort of repeating a tedious process (by calling all other participating parties) to establish a multi-way call.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种用于在一组参与方之间监视和维护呼叫连接的多路连接管理（MWCM）系统。 可以通过连接始发方和期望的参与方来建立多路呼叫连接。 一旦建立了多路呼叫连接，则可以维持多路呼叫连接，直到发起方希望终止呼叫。 任何断开连接的一方可以通过MWCM系统执行的自动重拨来重新加入多路通话。 此外，当发起方可以重新加入多路呼叫时，发起方可以提供多路呼叫的呼叫持续时段。 以这种方式，其他参与方可以在提供的期间内保持多方通话，而不要求发起方连接。 有利地，发起方可以节省重复繁琐过程（通过呼叫所有其他参与方）建立多路呼叫的时间和精力。

Abstract: Provided is a system and method for defining information of interest to a particular user and for automatically presenting that information on a user defined channel of a media access device. The method is suitable for use with Internet-connected television, or Web TV, and Internet radio. A user defines subject areas of information that are of specific interest to the user. Each subject area is associated with a particular media outlet or channel of the media access device. The method provides means to scan particular channels of the media access device for information that corresponds to the defined subject areas. When information corresponding to a particular subject area is detected, the media access device is, if necessary, switched on and tuned to the particular channel associated with the particular subject area. In addition, means are provided for automatically recording the detected information for playback at a later time.
