A diagramming tool is provided that allows a diagram to be defined as a specialization of a “parent” diagram. The “child” diagram is defined based on the “parent” diagram such that the child diagram references the parent and contains only nodes and edges which represent differences between the instant diagram and its parent diagram. A diagram inherits all of the nodes and edges, and their properties, of its parent and adds, deletes, or redefines the nodes and/or edges that represent the differences or specializations.

A system and method to support embedded complete controller specification through explicit controller overlays are provided. The system and method partitions the controller layer of the MVC into a plurality of controller overlays. For example, a macro controller overlay, micro controller overlay, and global controller overlay are established for specifying macro controller objects, micro controller objects and global controller objects. Editors are provided for each of the plurality of controller overlays. The combination of the micro control overlay, macro control overlay, and global control overlay results in a complete controller specification for an application.

Task management techniques based on user context are provided. More particularly, techniques are presented for calculating task attribute values based on user context data. Once task attributes of a user have been determined, the tasks can be prioritized and a suggestion can be made to the user to perform the tasks in the given order. In a first aspect of the invention, a computer-based technique for scheduling at least one task associated with at least one user includes obtaining context associated with the at least one user, and automatically determining a schedule for the at least one user to perform the at least one task based on at least a portion of the obtained context and based on one or more task attributes associated with the at least one task.

A system and method for restoring communications through breaks in wireless coverage includes identifying a coverage gap in a wireless coverage area and notifying system users of the existence of the coverage gap. Connection information is distributed to other base stations to automatically reconnect parties upon exiting the coverage gap.
摘要:
A method, system, and computer program for a) buffering instant messages to an intended recipient while the recipient is currently not logged on to an instant messaging system, and b) delivering buffered messages to the intended recipient after the recipient connects the instant messaging system. Thus, users are enabled to initiate instant messaging sessions with other users who are not currently online. An instant messaging device buffers messages and delivers them to the recipient when the recipient comes online. To the recipient, the method of delivery appears identical to the case where the recipient was continuously connected to the system. The main difference is the time delay, i.e. the elapsed time between the time the sender sent it and the time the recipient connected. The recipient is further able to configure the instant messaging device to be selective about which senders are allowed to buffer messages to the recipient while the recipient is disconnected. Sender specific pop-up windows, including the sender's buffered messages, will appear on the recipient's screen after the recipient connects to the system. The recipient can then respond to the instant message and resume the conversation in a real-time (though delayed) manner if the sender is presently online.

摘要:
A method and a system for automated verification and status identification (context) of objects using data about the objects captured via computer-enabled sensing elements are provided. The object may include goods tagged with electronic identifiers. The objects are shipped from one location to another, and identified via their electronic identifiers. The objects are scanned at the various locations by a number of sensing devices. The outcome of sensing is then compared with stored information describing the object and pointed at by their electronic identifier. The comparison is used to automatically verify that the scanned object is as identified and evaluate its condition.
