摘要： Methods, systems and computer program products are provided which transport a user in a virtual reality environment from a first location to a second location by providing a transportation vehicle that receives the user at the first location, receiving a destination signal from the user which indicates the second location as a destination, transporting the user in the transportation vehicle to the second location independent of any user input, and providing customized information to the user when the user is in the transportation vehicle. The transportation may be inter-world or intra-world. The customized information can take any number of forms such as dynamic visual scenery, audio messages, static visual graphics, video images, or any combination thereof.

摘要： Methods, systems and computer program products are provided which display an animation in a three dimensional virtual environment by associating the animation with a parent transform such that the geometry of the animation is transformed so that the animation is viewed from a predefined point of view with respect to a user in the three dimensional virtual environment. The animation may, optionally, be played for the user when the user is located in a predefined area of the three dimensional virtual environment. Preferably, the predefined point of view is facing the user. In a VRML embodiment of the present invention, the parent transform is a VRML billboard transform such that a VRML billboard node is created utilizing an animation as a child to the billboard node.

摘要： Computer implemented method, system and computer usable program code for sharing resources among a plurality of containers in a data processing system. A computer implemented method includes creating a shared container for at least one resource to be shared. Then the at least one resource to be shared is moved from an original container of the at least one resource to the shared container, and a link is created between the original container and the at least one resource to be shared in the shared resource container. A link can also be created between a subject resource container and a shared resource in the shared resource container to enable the subject resource container to access and use the shared resource. A shared resource can also be removed from the shared resource container and returned to an original resource container when sharing of the resource is no longer desired.

摘要： A method, system, and computer-readable code for reducing Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Document Type Definition (DTD) document file size through one or more novel compression techniques. In one aspect, a compression technique for tags is defined that reduces the size of tags within either or both of XML and DTD files. In another aspect, a compression technique for attributes within tags may be used to further reduce file size (again, in either XML or DTD files). In a further aspect, a compression technique for strings within an XML file is defined, whereby the decompression will be performed automatically by an XML parser. While these compression techniques are described with reference to XML, they may also be used advantageously with other notations derived from SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language).

摘要翻译： 一种用于通过一种或多种新颖的压缩技术来减少可扩展标记语言（XML）和文档类型定义（DTD）文档文件大小的方法，系统和计算机可读代码。 在一个方面，定义了用于标签的压缩技术，其减少了XML和DTD文件之一或两者内的标签的大小。 在另一方面，用于标签内的属性的压缩技术可以用于进一步减小文件大小（再次，在XML或DTD文件中）。 在另一方面，定义了XML文件中的字符串的压缩技术，由此解析将由XML解析器自动执行。 虽然这些压缩技术是参考XML描述的，但它们也可以有利地用来自SGML（标准通用标记语言）的其他符号使用。

摘要： A method and apparatus for representing host datastream screen image information using markup languages is provided. A distributed data processing system contains a network, at least one host computer, at least one client computer, and optionally at least one server. The host computer generates a host datastream containing host screen image information and forwards the host datastream to a client. If the client is not directly connected to the host, then the host datastream may be routed to the client. The host datastream is converted to a markup language tagged datastream at some point within the network according to a Document Type Definition (DTD) authored for the purpose of representing information in host datastreams. The client receives the markup language tagged datastream containing the host screen image information derived from the host datastream and parses the markup language tagged datastream to identify the host screen image information. The host screen image information is displayed on a display device connected to the client, enabling the client to act as an emulator for the host.

摘要翻译： 提供了使用标记语言表示主机数据流屏幕图像信息的方法和装置。 分布式数据处理系统包含网络，至少一个主机计算机，至少一个客户端计算机，以及可选地至少一个服务器。 主计算机生成包含主机屏幕图像信息的主机数据流，并将主机数据流转发给客户端。 如果客户端没有直接连接到主机，则主机数据流可能被路由到客户端。 根据为了表示主机数据流中的信息而编写的文档类型定义（DTD），主机数据流在网络中的某个时间点被转换为标记语言标记的数据流。 客户端接收包含从主机数据流导出的主机屏幕图像信息的标记语言标记的数据流，并解析标记语言标记的数据流，以识别主机屏幕图像信息。 主机屏幕图像信息显示在连接到客户端的显示设备上，使得客户端能够充当主机的模拟器。

摘要： A method of interacting with one or more objects in a virtual reality (VR) space. A user input establishes a pointing mode, whereupon a visual indicator, such as a pointer, is displayed on the user's viewing device, and the visual indicator is moved on the viewing device to refer to an object in the VR space, in response to actuation of a pointing device such as a mouse, joystick or pen. An image of the user's avatar may also be displayed in the VR space, and the avatar may have an appendage or pointing appliance to point to a target in the 3-D space. A user can point in this manner with high precision, as well as draw illustrations, etc. Other users (viewers) of the same VR space can see the first user's avatar pointing to the target. Another viewer's display can be dynamically adjusted to present an appropriate perspective of the VR space to show the target.

摘要： A management application implemented in a computational device maintains priorities corresponding to a plurality of resources coupled to the computational device. Indications for actions to be performed corresponding to occurrences of events are stored to a calendar, wherein the calendar is configurable by a user. A selected indication for an action to be performed is stored to the calendar. In response to an occurrence of an event associated with a selected resource, a priority of the selected resource is determined. The action is performed, based on at least the determined priority of the selected resource and the selected indication for the action stored in the calendar, wherein different actions are performed in response to occurrences of a selected event at different times.

摘要： A method, system, and computer-readable code for retrieving style sheets from a directory or other repository, based upon partial characteristic matching. Characteristics are associated with style sheets, and retrieval is accomplished by specifying a pattern which includes one or more of the characteristics. Preferably, the style sheet characteristics are stored as LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) objects in an LDAP directory. The style sheets may be encoded in Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL), Document Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL), or any other style sheet language having equivalent semantics.
