摘要： A method, system, and computer program for a) buffering instant messages to an intended recipient while the recipient is currently not logged on to an instant messaging system, and b) delivering buffered messages to the intended recipient after the recipient connects the instant messaging system. Thus, users are enabled to initiate instant messaging sessions with other users who are not currently online. An instant messaging device buffers messages and delivers them to the recipient when the recipient comes online. To the recipient, the method of delivery appears identical to the case where the recipient was continuously connected to the system. The main difference is the time delay, i.e. the elapsed time between the time the sender sent it and the time the recipient connected. The recipient is further able to configure the instant messaging device to be selective about which senders are allowed to buffer messages to the recipient while the recipient is disconnected. Sender specific pop-up windows, including the sender's buffered messages, will appear on the recipient's screen after the recipient connects to the system. The recipient can then respond to the instant message and resume the conversation in a real-time (though delayed) manner if the sender is presently online.

摘要： A Z-cache is provided for use in rasterizing computer generated images. The Z-cache allows for caching depth information such that a depth buffer may be implemented in system memory without degradation in performance of a depth routine for determining the visible information in a display. The Z-cache may store and compare pixel depth information. Thus, methods of using a z-cache in a graphics system as well as a graphics system, a processing system and a rasterizer are provided which utilize a Z-cache.

摘要翻译： 一种方法，系统和计算机程序，用于a）当所述接收者当前未登录到即时消息系统时将即时消息缓存到预期接收者;以及b）在所述接收者连接所述即时消息传递系统之后，将缓冲的消息传送到所述预期接收者 。 因此，用户能够启动与当前不在线的其他用户的即时消息会话。 即时消息传递设备缓存消息，并在收件人上线时将其发送给收件人。 对于收件人，传送方式与收件人连续连接到系统的情况相同。 主要区别是时间延迟，即发送者发送时间与接收者连接时间之间的经过时间。 收件人进一步能够将即时消息收发设备配置为选择性地关于允许哪些发送者在接收者断开连接时向接收者缓冲消息。 发件人特定的弹出窗口（包括发件人的缓冲消息）将在收件人连接到系统后显示在收件人的屏幕上。 如果发件人当前在线，收件人可以对即时消息进行响应并以实时（尽管延迟）方式恢复对话。
