摘要:
Disclosed are embodiments of a system and method for automating the exchange of information between the multiple personal computerized devices of an entity so as to provide context for communications, such as incoming and/or outgoing telephone calls, with other entities. The system and method associate one entity with multiple devices. Communications over a device (e.g., one of the various types of telephones) are tracked. Then, for a given communication, an identifier (e.g., a caller ID from an incoming telephone call) is communicated to at least one other device. The other device performs a local and/or internet search for information associated with that particular identifier. The retrieved information is then displayed so as to provide the entity with essentially instantaneous context for the given communication. The system can be implemented using client-server network technology or, alternatively, using point-to-point communication technology.

A method and a computer-readable medium are provided for generating an interface in a personal computer system. The method includes is playing a primary view of a three-dimensional environment from the egocentric perspective of a virtual person in the environment. A glancing function is then performed, which provides animated movement of the virtual person's head to reveal a three-dimensional tool space that is normally hidden from view. In one embodiment, the three-dimensional tool space moves with or is linked to the virtual person's body so that it travels through the environment with the virtual person's body. In other embodiments, the tool space is associated with an object in the three-dimensional environment.

A computer program product comprises a computer readable storage medium containing computer code that, when performed by a computer, implements a method for obscuring at least one computer search by a set of users from at least another user, wherein the method includes issuing a plurality of search requests comprised of one or more search requests issued by the set of users, and one or more spurious search requests, to at least one computer search provider; and separating search results received from the at least one computer search provider associated with the plurality of search requests into one or more intended search results in response to the one or more search requests issued by the set of users, and one or more spurious search results in response to the one or more spurious search requests not issued by the set of users.

摘要:
A method, mobile device, application server, and computer program product, for requesting a geospatial-location-specific application associated with a geospatial-location-specific service that are both specific to a geospatial location corresponding to a current geospatial location of the mobile device. The mobile device determines a current geospatial location of the mobile device and sends a request message to an application server. The request message includes the current geospatial location of the mobile device and a request to receive a geospatial-location-specific application associated with a geospatial-location-specific service. The mobile device receives a response message including identification of a candidate geospatial-location-specific application associated with a geospatial-location-specific service, specific to a geospatial location within a defined nearby vicinity area of the current geospatial location of the mobile device. The mobile device displays a list of selectable choices prioritized by proximity of geospatial location associated with each candidate geospatial-location-specific application.
