摘要： A method and apparatus to manage alert triggers in a relationship system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes maintaining a set of alert triggers that define operations for detecting changes pertaining to elements of a relationship graph. The elements of the relationship graph include nodes representing entities and edges representing relationships between entities. The method further includes performing the operations defined by the set of alert triggers, and providing an alert to one or more users when any of the defined operations satisfy an alert condition associated with a corresponding alert trigger.

摘要： A temporal relational database includes a relational database framework that allows for all the capabilities of a standard relational database with the addition of the concept of time. Transactions, which can be modifications of attribute values or changes to the database schema, can be stored with temporal histories. Through the use of these temporal histories, the temporal database is able to seamlessly respond to queries for times that are in the past, present, or future. Furthermore, transactions can be entered into the temporal relational database that are not effective until some point in the future, thus allowing for seamless migration of the data and schema of a database. Applications that access data in a temporal database may retrieve a time appropriate schema from the temporal database. An exemplary use of a temporal database to manage roles and responsibilities within an organization is described.

摘要： Polling questions and a fixed set of answers are provided in a first form of media with an expected geographic distribution. A standard graphical user interface with a predefined set of user-selectable icons is provided in a second form of media such as a bidirectional wireless communications device such as a cellular phone. The user interface allows a user to respond to polling questions with a simplified entry such as by scrolling to one of the icons and selecting. Response to a polling question may be confirmed and an incentive may be provided such as a cash or service reward or results of the poll.

摘要： A user interface facilitates the presentation and/or playing of matching games on small displays commonly associated with handheld or mobile communications devices. In one aspect, identification of a name from a list of available picks causes the presentation of an image or graphic directly or indirectly associated with the identified name. Thus, identification of a sports team may display a team logo or sponsor logo, or identification of a corporate name may display a corporate logo or sponsor logo. The logo may replace the identified pick in the display, or be displayed in a separate field. Selection of the identified name is used to populate a field of a list of selected picks for comparison with a winning combination.

摘要： A sequential operation system component (e.g., shell) testing method is disclosed that utilizes a set of established user applications to access particular components of an operating system. A set of components of the operating system to be tested are established. Capabilities of a set of applications to access the components is established. The manner in which applications access the components is analyzed to establish classes. Furthermore, parameter sets are identified for each of the classes (e.g., functions). Test cases are created based upon combinations of parameter usages. Test calls are formulated by defining actual values to the parameter usages defined for the test cases.
