Methods and systems are provided to index and retrieve pixel data. Pixel data is received, and connected pixel components are identified. The connected pixel components are associated with segments. Spatial invariant features are extracted for each of the segments, and keys are acquired for each segment. The features and keys are associated with one another and indexed in a data store for subsequent retrieval.

Techniques for generating a list of people relevant to a task includes receiving content associated with a task, automatically generating a query for a list of people based on terms obtained from the content, generating the list of people in response to the query, and presenting the list of people to a user
摘要:
An approach for managing the privacy and disclosure of location information associated with a computer system. For one aspect, a request is received from a requestor for a location property associated with a location of a computer system. It is then determined whether a privacy preference associated with the requestor has been specified. If not, a user may be prompted to supply privacy preferences associated with the requester. The privacy preferences are then applied to determine whether or not to provide the requested information. A user setting, such as a basic input-output system memory location setting, may also be implemented to enable and/or disable location-aware computing.

An apparatus is disclosed that includes a memory storage unit to store an electronic version of a page and a processor coupled to the memory storage unit. The processor is configured to receive data associated with a handwritten notation applied to a printed page and an electronic image of an area of the printed version of the page near the notation, to identify a corresponding passage in the electronic version of the page and to create an electronic notation based on the received data and associated with the corresponding passage.
摘要:
A technique for automatically finding and organizing items similar to example items includes providing related, not related, and suggestions group areas for one organization instance, each in these areas to contain items which may consist of documents. At least one example item for the one organization instance is provided by a user and placed in the related group area of the one organization instance. A database is searched using a relevance algorithm to try to locate at least one item which is related to the at least one item in the related group area based on a predetermined criterion and the located at least one item is placed in the suggestions group area of the one organization instance. The predetermined criterion is modified based on at least one of the user providing at least one additional example item and the user moving an item from one of the group areas to another of the group areas. The database is continually searched to locate and place additional items in the suggestions group area of the one organization instance which are related to the at least one item in the related group area based upon the modified predetermined criterion.
摘要:
A system and method for automatic relevance-base sharing information between handheld devices are provided. A centralized location stores interest profiles of a plurality of users of handheld devices. A profile agent and a sharing agent in a computing device obtain, from the centralized location, a list of users with profiles similar to the profile of a user operating the computing device and mark sharable items of such user with users to whom the item is relevant. The synchronizer synchronizes the list and the marked sharable items to the handheld device of the user operating the computing device. The logic embedded in the handheld device allows automatic relevance-based sharing of items between the handheld device and other handheld devices.
摘要:
A system and method for finding items related to an example item or a set of example items in a low processing power device with limited storage are provided. The system comprises relationship agents, an item relationship database, a synchronizer, and logic for finding related items. The relationship agents are embedded in a computing device separated from the low processing power device. The relationship agents automatically build relationship information between different items based on certain criteria, including temporal relevance, content relevance and people relevance. The item relationship database is formed by the relationship agents and stores the relationship information between different items. The synchronizer transfers the item relationship database, or a portion thereof, from the computing device to the low processing power device. Using queries to the transferred item relationship database, logic embedded in the low processing power device finds items related to the example item.
