The E-mail sender's address book is safeguarded from computer virus intrusion with only minimal interference with normal E-mail distribution from the sender. Complete encryption of the address book create interference with the send function in that before any E-mail function may be started, the address book must be accessed and decrypted even when the E-mail being sent does involve the address book. However, the address book may be safeguarded from the computer virus with minimum E-mail interference if only a part of the address book is encrypted. There is stored the unencrypted data representative of a plurality of aliases for plurality of addressees of electronic mail, and separately stored encrypted data representative of the electronic mail addresses of said plurality of addressees. In response to a request to send electronic mail to one of said aliases, the entry of the key to decrypt the encrypted data is required to thereby provide the address of the addressee having said alias. If no alias is entered, i.e. the full address is entered, then the E-mail is sent without requiring a key entry by the sender.

The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and computer implemented instructions for mitigating the mobile phone nuisance factor. The present invention causes a mobile phone to activate an “In-Public-Use” profile when in a public establishment, which has a policy for mobile phone usage. A transmitter in the public establishment broadcasts an external control signal that contains an encoded command. The circuitry, or processor instructions, in a mobile phone decodes the command and activates the profile with the identified settings from the command. When the profile is activated, an icon is displayed indicating that the profile is active. Additionally, the “In-Public-Use” profile is deactivated when the mobile phone leaves the range of the signal and the previous settings of the mobile phone are enabled.

A method, system, and computer program product is disclosed that enables a user to customize selection elements of a GUI. For example, menu entries in a GUI can be customized so that the user can specify the font, the language, character sets, color, and other attributes of the text of one menu item (or less than all menu items); to have the ability to selectively activate multimedia options associated with selected menu items (e.g., to play a sound whenever the cursor/pointer passes over a particular menu item); and/or to assign an animation sequence that is unique to selected menu items. The menu item properties are defined by the user, using, for example, a dialog box that allows specification of the attributes. When the application is installed, a default set of menu item properties is defined by the software manufacturer, which can be further customized by the user.

Minimizing the damaging effects of loud music but with minimal reduction in aesthetic quality of the music. When music presented through an audio is sampled in order to determine average frequency, music having very low average frequencies is predictably likely to be played louder than sampled music having higher average frequencies. This unexpected observation is based upon a human factor, i.e. rock and related music that is ordinarily composed and presented at relatively low frequencies, e.g. 500 to 1000 Hz is likely to be played on the audio system at very high volume because of the tastes of its listeners. An audio system for a data processor controlled presentation of music with a set up for minimizing the damaging effects of loud music comprising an implementation for predetermining a minimum average frequency of music being presented in combination with measuring whether the music being presented falls below said minimum average frequency for a sampling period. Then, based on the above recognition, there is provided a device for automatically limiting the music being presented to an audio volume below a predetermined level when said measured average frequency for said sampling period is below said minimum average frequency.

A method and system for remotely and automatically selecting and activating a profile of a telephone. In particular, a user defines telephone profile activation information and communicates this information to the telephone to activate a desired profile during a certain event. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention includes a calendar application whereby the user may input scheduling information and profile associations so that calendar information and profile associations are transmitted by the calendar application to the telephone and activated upon occurrence and for the duration of an event. In an alternate embodiment, the method of the present invention includes having the telephone update the calendar application. The preset invention is capable of working in different time zones by converting the calendar information into the current time zone of the telephone.

System, method, and computer program product for monitoring resources capable of being assigned to different partitions of a data processing system from a free resources pool of the data processing system. A free resources event log is associated with the free resources pool for maintaining a log of events for each resource that is in the free resources pool. When a resource is assigned to a partition from the free resources pool, a log of events for the assigned resource is transferred from the free resources event log to an event log associated with the partition.

An improved method, apparatus, and computer instructions for a mobile device for managing ring tones. A radio frequency transmission is detected from another mobile device. In response to detecting the radio frequency transmission from the other mobile device, a ring tone used by the other mobile device is identified to form an identified ring tone. The current ring tone is selectively changed for the mobile device to an alternate ring tone, depending on the identified ring tone.

A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing event information in a logical partitioned data processing system. A determination is made as to whether an event for a resource is present in a first event log in a first partition in response to reallocation of the resource from the first partition to a second partition. In response to the event being present, the event is placed in a second event log in the second partition. As a result, analysis of the second event log in the second partition takes into account the event from the first partition.

A view controller, such as a scroll bar, for a first application which is currently displayed within an inactive window is detached and remotely displayed within an active window in addition to the view controller associated with the content of that active window. A Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) link is then established between the remotely displayed view controller and the first application such that user inputs to the remotely displayed view controller can be utilized to modify the display of the first application without requiring the user to activate the inactive window. In this manner data within the first application can be scrolled and visually accessed by the user while the user is working within an active window, without requiring the user to toggle the focus back and forth between two windows.

A user at a receiving Web station is provided with several alternate Web page display interface formats, from which the user may select the appropriate format for each Web document that he bookmarks. Thus, each time that a bookmarked Web document will be displayed subsequently, it will have this optimum presentation interface format. The implementation comprises bookmarking a received Web document, predetermining at least one display interface format alternate to said standard display interface format for bookmarked Web documents, providing a document folder associated with each alternate display interface format, enabling a user to put a bookmarked Web document into a document folder associated with an alternate display interface format and displaying bookmarked documents in said document folder in said alternate display interface format.
