摘要： The present invention discloses a solution for defining a private user area in a surface based computer. The solution can identify a surface of a surface based computer. At least one private user area can be defined for the surface. A region of the surface can be demarcated for each defined private user area. Input/output for each demarcated private user area can be handed in a manner specific to the private user area, which is different from how input/output is handled for other portions of the surface. In one embodiment, different users can be associated with multiple ones of a set of two or more different private user areas. Each user can concurrently utilize their own private user area as if that private user area was a computing space dedicated to that user.

摘要： The present invention discloses a solution for object level security on a surface based computing device that includes software objects and behavior tokens. The behavior tokens can control an extent that users are able to manipulate the software objects using the surface based computing device. Different levels of control can be established on an object-by-object basis for different users. The extent users are able to manipulate the software objects can also depends upon set of users proximate to the surface based computing device.

摘要： The present invention discloses a solution for providing item bagging advisements to individuals bagging purchased items during a check-out situation. The solution can include a self-checkout system and/or a human assisted checkout system capable of providing bagging assistance. A bagged item can be detected based on information such as weight, barcode data, and the like. Based on a set of rules for preferred item grouping, items can be determined to be appropriately bagged or to be in conflict with another item. Item bagging assistance can include, but is not limited to, item conflict warning, item compatibility confirmation, and assistance based on item categorization. Visual and aural confirmation and/or warning notifications can be presented to a user based on item compatibility or incompatibility.

摘要： The present invention discloses a solution for a surface based computing device to return passed objects. That is, software of the surface based computing device can permit software objects appearing within a display of a surface based computing device to be passed among users positioned about the surface based computing device. The surface based computing device can also include software maintaining linkages between passed software objects and return positions defined for each of the passed software objects. Further software can be configured to automatically return at least one of the passed software objects from a current position on the display to an associated return position responsive to an occurrence of a return object event relating to that passed software object. Visual representation of the linkages can be optionally shown on the surface based computing device and the passing objects can be optionally animated.

摘要： A restrictive presentation system can receive an electronic message configured for offline consumption expressed as user-specified delivery conditions. The electronic message can be securely conveyed to a computing device in an online state using a communications network. A client application of the restrictive presentation system can be installed upon the computing device and can receive the electronic message. The client application can detect a change of the computing device from the online state to the offline state. In response to user-acceptance, the electronic message can be presented upon the computing device while in the offline state. Upon user-termination of the presentation, the electronic message can be automatically deleted from a storage location of the computing device. When the computing device returns to the online state, the client application can notify the restrictive presentation system of the offline consumption.

摘要： The present invention discloses a text exchange facility that permits a user to combine multiple pre-existing text exchange interfaces into a single interface. When previous text exchange interfaces are joined, different tabs can be presented in a joined interface. A one-to-one correspondence can exist between tabs in the joined interface and active real-time text exchange sessions. Joining interfaces can have no effect on the underlying text exchange sessions or upon communications/activities experienced by communicators with whom the user exchanges textual messages. Joined interfaces can be identified by a user specified topic or name. In one embodiment, history and/or records concerning text exchange contents can be maintained on a topic-by-topic manner.

摘要： Identify a first change to a first portion of the system, and identifying at least a second portion of the system that is, at least in part, dependent on the first portion. At least one user who is assigned responsibility for maintaining the first portion or the second portion of the system can be identified, and an availability of the user to maintain the first portion or the second portion of the system during a time period can be determined. The time period can begin when the first change is initially scheduled for introduction into the system. Responsive to determining that the user is not sufficiently available to maintain the first portion or the second portion of the system during the time period, the first change can be prevented from being introduced into the system as initially scheduled for introduction into the system.

摘要： A method that includes identifying a first electronic mail (email) addressed to at least two groups of recipients, the first email comprising content. The method further can include communicating the first email comprising the content to a first group of recipients. The method also can include generating a second email different than the first email and not comprising the content, the second email comprising information that indicates a contact that the second group of recipients are to contact regarding subject matter associated with the first email, and communicating the second email to a second group of recipients.
