摘要： The present invention provides privacy measures in instant messaging systems. A method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: setting a time-out value for a message; sending the message to a receiving user; and displaying the message to the receiving user only for a time period equal to the time-out value. In another embodiment, a stealth delivery mode is provided in which an IM message is displayed to the receiving user only if the receiving user has approved the display of the IM message. In a further embodiment, a predetermined number of elements received prior to a current IM message are displayed in the conversation pane of an IM client, based on a threshold value.

摘要： A system and method is provided for masking traditional grey bars which are produced by displaying wide screen images within a full screen native projector and visa versa. This method allows blocking of light for unused portions of the screen thereby producing higher contrast images. In an exemplary embodiment, a physical shutter is positioned inside the projection system so that the light which would otherwise produce a grey bar area is blocked before it reaches a projection screen. Image data are analyzed to identify grey screen areas which are not being utilized for image display and light which would otherwise produce such grey areas is blocked or shuttered by the projector to eliminate the grey areas.

摘要： A method and system is provided for analyzing potential repeatable values for placement into a data field based on user-defined criteria and includes analyzing relationships between documents for the purpose of correlating sender and receiver information into a context to more accurately populate type-ahead functions in repeatable data fields. Threaded messages are typically limited to those messages that are responses to responses or responses to an original message and are usually denoted by terms such as, for example, “forwarded” or “reply to” and where the history of the previous related message is included in the most recent message. However, the invention now expands correlation into non-thread related documents to achieve a higher correlation rate. The expanded documents may be any previous email or associated documents of a sender or receiver, including any documents defined by user criteria. In the case of stand-alone applications such as word processors, any user associated document, as defined by user criteria may be included in a contextual association for purposes of type-ahead analysis.

摘要： A computing resource allocation system allocates hardware and software resources among employees, based upon a combination of the employee level, job function, and demonstrated workstation performance within the context of the job requirements of the employee and usage patterns of the computing resource. The system collects various performance data for computing resources. A set of policy rules is applied to the collected performance data and processed by the present system. Consequently, the present system automatically identifies and prioritizes employees in need of technology upgrades and replacements based on business needs and available resources. Performance data of a computing resource is captured and transmitted to a central collection agency. From the performance data, the present system determines when partial upgrades, such as memory additions or faster adapters are appropriate based on system performance or errors. In addition, the present system determines when a computing resource experiences continuous performance problems.

摘要： An unsolicited instant ad manager manages the display of unsolicited instant web advertisements such as pop-up and pop-under ads. Unsolicited instant ads are moved to a secondary browser window, container, or file and aggregated. Transferred ads can be viewed by accessing a master instant ad window. The transferred ads maintain their original appearance and functionality. Otherwise, the ads may be presented in digest form or as a log. The user may view the advertisements by scrolling through a window displaying the ads. Additional information may be appended to the ad display. The user may be notified when an ad is trapped and moved. The unsolicited instant ad manager may activate hyperlinks in the ads to mimic interaction by the user. Desired actions performed by a web page utilizing the functionality of a pop-up window are allowed; advertisements are disallowed. Advertisements may be further filtered by criteria such as keyword.
