A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for scheduling viewing of a plurality of selected Web pages. A respective periodicity for viewing each respective Web page of a plurality of selected Web pages is scheduled. Upon retrieval of a respective Web page at a specified periodicity, a determination is made as to whether the respective Web page has changed in which the respective Web page is a retrieved Web page. The retrieved Web page is placed in a queue of unviewed Web pages for later viewing by a user in response to the Web page having changed.

A method, computer program product and system for accessing a Web application. The Web application may be accessed by receiving a request for the Web application where the request includes an identifier of the Web application. In response to the identifier of the Web application, one of a local and a remote target of the Web application may be determined. The request may be dispatched to a target in response to input data identifying the Web application and, alternatively, form selection input.

A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for conducting an inventory of a data processing system. When a basic input output system (BIOS) is launched during a boot process for the data processing system, the basic input output system creates a hardware report of the data processing system. This report is sent to a remote data processing system on the network.

A method and apparatus for extending a Java Beans Archive file. A key/value pair is added to the manifest file specification to allow an application to determine information about the sub-element composition of a Java Bean. The key provides a unique integer “N” which allows the specification of a Java Bean in the archive file. The value pair provides specification for a tag for indicating the type of a specific sub-element file in the archive file.

A method is presented for managing user chat status in a chat application. The chat application automatically detects user activity and/or user inactivity external to the chat application and then automatically sets a user chat status value within the chat application based on the detected user activity and/or the detected user inactivity based on telephone line activity. Caller ID information associated with an incoming call with respect to one or more selected priority telephone numbers are screened. The chat application may automatically set the user's current chat status at a given time based on telephone line activity only if the caller ID information associated with the incoming telephone call matches a priority telephone number.

摘要:
A method, computer program product and system for handing messages in a Web application. Messages in a Web application may be handled by inserting a writeable block in a window in a first page of the Web application where the writeable block for receiving a message may be generated by the Web application. In a second page of the Web application, a message script may be inserted if a message is generated by the Web application for display in response to an execution of the second page. In response to the message script, the message handler is invoked.

A web browser program presents historical information about hyperlinks shown on web pages. Initially, the computer determines whether it is receiving certain user input, such as placement of a cursor over a hyperlink for a certain time. When this occurs, the computer accesses a database to determine whether one or more users in a predefined access group have previously selected the hyperlink for the purpose of downloading underlying data represented by the hyperlink. Some examples of the underlying data include web pages, graphics images, software programs, and the like. If the hyperlink has not been previously selected, no action needs to be taken. However, if the database shows that the hyperlink has been previously selected, the computer consults the database to gather characteristics of the underlying data obtained from previous selections of the hyperlink by access group members. Such characteristics may include, for example, the data's size, date of last download, expired or “under construction” status of web site, errors occurring during the download, etc. The computer presents a report containing the characteristics gathered from the database.
摘要:
A hand held pointing device for use with a computer system having a graphic interface. The pointing device includes a body, and a communications device within the body for communicating movement signals to the computer system. The pointing device further includes a movement detection device within the body, coupled to the communications device, for detecting movement of the body by a computer user. The pointing device additionally includes a pliant outer shell having at least a portion of the body which dynamically conforms to a computer user's hand when the pointing device is held and manipulated by a computer user, such that the portion of the body which conforms to the computer user's hand provides comfort and efficient ergonomic cushioning to the computer user during computer system pointing device activities. The pointing device further includes at least one user input device for transferring data to the computer system via the pointing device. In addition, the pointing device includes an interior shell which prevents the portion of the body from contacting interior electronics located within the pointing device. The pliant outer shell may also be surrounded by a membrane for preventing the rupture of the portion of the body. The pliant outer shell portion of the body may be composed of a gel based on an elastomer compound. Liquid-crystal material, controlled by a host computer, can also be located on the exterior of the pointing device to provide visual feedback to the computer user.
