    摘要: In response to a teleport request, teleport destination characteristics are determined and compared against preferences, characteristics and restrictions of an avatar as indicated by metadata or tags to determine if the teleport destination is suitable for teleportation of that avatar. If the destination is found unsuitable, a search is conducted, preferably based on unmatched metadata of the avatar or the destination to suggest or directly substitute a suitable teleportation destination. Metadata for the avatar and the destination can include metadata which is dynamic (such as destination occupancy or processing capacity) adaptively developed or based on current or historical usage and virtual universe system status.

    摘要: Upon a request for a teleportation operation, a user of a virtual universe is provided with an interface for specification of image resolution parameters for initial rendering of a teleportation destination and the user's avatar which are degraded from a full resolution rendering of the teleportation destination and avatar. Degradation of resolution can be in regard to any of a plurality of image qualities such as spatial resolution, temporal resolution colors or color depth, light modeling and rendering style or the like or combinations thereof. Alternatively, a degraded copy of the teleportation destination can be provided as an alternative initial teleportation destination image. Since a rendering of a degraded image can be done with reduced response time, the user is thus provided with full control over a trade-off between image quality and response time and teleportation operations are thus encouraged.

    摘要: This disclosure provides a system and method to enable the diagnosis, prognosis and emulation of medical conditions using virtual world environments. The system and method combines probabilistic and pattern recognition mechanisms for both real and virtual world applications to increase health care reach and presence within computational environments. The disclosure describes a system and method that uses physiological measurements and behaviors to diagnose a medical condition. Experimental data, either gathered or generated, provide points for emulation. An emulation algorithm increases the feeling of user presence within a virtual world. Avatar behaviors are mapped to scripts which describe the output of the medical diagnosis and prognosis algorithm. Based on proposed treatment plans, emulations can be run, and the appearance of the avatar altered based on the outcome (e.g., improvement, worsening, etc.).

    摘要: Avatar appearance attributes for use in rendering a first avatar within a virtual universe are associated with keys, wherein the first avatar is rendered to a second user in a virtual universe graphic user interface display with the defined appearance attribute as a function of a second avatar of the second user possessing the key. The first avatar may be rendered simultaneously to other users with an appearance attribute distinct from the defined appearance attribute rendered to the second user as a function of the other user's avatars not possessing the key. A key may be recognized as a function of an identity characteristic, and appearance attributes selected manually or as a function of a preference. Pluralities of avatar appearance attributes may be broadcast by an avatar for selection by key possession, and keys may be assigned as a function of a unique identity, a trait and an inventory asset.

    摘要: A method and program product for preventing distribution of an e-mail message. The method includes generating an e-mail message to one or more recipients using an e-mail application installed on a sender e-mail client and selecting a non-distribution option provided by a non-distribution plug-in installed on the sender e-mail client. The method further includes encrypting the message using a recipient public key and a plug-in secret key provided by the plug-in before sending the message. Further, the method includes providing a hyperlink to a website for installing a correct version of the plug-in on a recipient e-mail client for decrypting and displaying the message. Moreover, the method includes decrypting the message using a recipient private key and using the plug-in secret key provided by the plug-in and modifying the recipient e-mail client, such that one or more distribution functions are disabled, preventing distribution of the message by the recipient.

    摘要: A method and program product for securing privacy of an e-mail address is provided. The method includes generating an e-mail message to one or more recipients on a sender e-mail client and encrypting, using a privacy plug-in installed on the sender e-mail client, an e-mail address of the sender, using a respective public key corresponding to each recipient. The method further includes transmitting the e-mail message to the recipients with the sender e-mail address encrypted and decrypting, upon receipt by a respective recipient e-mail client, the sender's e-mail address without displaying the sender's e-mail address. The transmitting step further includes stripping, before the e-mail is sent, an e-mail address of any other recipient besides the recipient to whom the e-mail is sent and sending a hyperlink to a web site for installing the privacy plug-in on a recipient client, such that the recipient can reply to the sender.
