摘要： A method of managing instant messaging communication over a computer network is provided. One or more instant messaging session windows are organized in an instant messaging session manager. At least one distinguishing session characteristic is attributed to each of the one or more instant messaging session windows. The at least one distinguishing session characteristic is at least one of a sound clip associated with a user of the session, an instant messaging session window background associated with a user of the session, and a change in at least one of a color and an intensity of the instant messaging session window. The at least one distinguishing session characteristic increases a likelihood of identification of each of the one or more instant messaging session windows.

摘要： A system, method and computer program product for monitoring availability of end user devices needed for performing tasks. The system comprises a first network including one or more devices associated with an end user, at least one device adapted for communicating with a service provider over a second network, the service provider providing network-based services in the system. The system includes a memory storage device for maintaining information of tasks associated with an end user, the information including recommended end-user devices adapted to perform the tasks, the information being accessible to at least one end-user device. At least one end-user device detects non-availability or performance deficiencies of any end-user device required in performing end-user tasks, and communicates with the service provider for invoking network-based services to facilitate correcting non-availability of any end-user device. Such a system, method and computer program product enables students to receive these reminders and alerts, to order the necessary upgrades from suppliers via web services, and to monitor delivery from a single user interface provided on one of their devices.

摘要： A method, system, and computer program for interacting with team members of a virtual team. Persistent storage is configured to store collective qualifications of the virtual team based on the individual qualifications of the team members, while a team broker is configured to present the collective qualifications to third parties. Thus, the broker provides a dynamic representation of the collective knowledge, skills and experience of a virtual team. The broker further enables an entity, such as a team employer or teacher, to interact with the virtual team as if that team were a single entity, rather than a collection of individual members.

摘要： A spell checking method presents a selectable list of similarly spelled words, when a misspelled word is selected by the user who wishes to find the correct spelling. One feature determines the “content” or “topic” of a document. Based on the content, the spell checker presents likely replacement words for a misspelled word. In another feature, for each letter in the word, the spell checker checks for “nearby” letters on keyboard keys to improve the spell checker's list of replacement words. The system also monitors a user's history of use with respect to nearby or key (i.e. lefter) substitutions and considers this information when presenting lists of alternative words. Another feature corrects spelling by monitoring a user's history of spell check corrections. Aggregate tables of corrections for more than one user may be maintained, shared, and provided by spell checkers. Various priorities may be used so that one approach is given favor over another. The priorities may be determined by manual input of a user or automatically provided by the system software. Another feature provides an auxiliary window that shows a user's most-frequently or most-recently misspelled words. The user can use a clipboard facility to copy and paste words of interest from the auxiliary window to a current document.

摘要翻译： 当希望找到正确拼写的用户选择拼写错误的单词时，拼写检查方法提供类似拼写单词的可选列表。 一个特征确定文档的“内容”或“主题”。 根据内容，拼写检查器提供拼写错误的单词的替换字。 在另一个功能中，对于单词中的每个字母，拼写检查器检查键盘上的“附近”字母以改进拼写检查器的替换单词列表。 该系统还监视用户关于附近或关键（即，稍后）替换的使用历史，并在呈现备选词的列表时考虑该信息。 另一个功能通过监视用户的拼写检查更正历史来纠正拼写。 多个用户的校正表可以由拼写检查器进行维护，共享和提供。 可以使用各种优先事项，以便使一种方法比另一种方式有利。 优先级可以由用户的手动输入或由系统软件自动提供来确定。 另一个功能提供了一个辅助窗口，显示用户最常见或最近拼写错误的单词。 用户可以使用剪贴板设施将辅助窗口中的感兴趣词汇复制并粘贴到当前文档。

摘要： A programmed method for supplying content includes receiving via a network a request for a first content for use on a device, from a requester; automatically selecting a second content to fulfill the request; and providing the second content to a source of the request. From the point of view of a requester, the programmed method includes requesting via a network a first content for use on a device; and receiving an automatically selected second content to fulfill the request. The device may be a computer, and the content may be software for use on the computer. Selection may be performed in accordance with predetermined criteria, including predetermined rules. Information defining at least one criterion may be received from at least one requester. The criteria may be based on relatedness of the first content and the second content. Generally, the request is fulfilled via a network.

摘要： A system automatically determines probable idle times for a computing system and performs maintenance tasks, such as virus scanning, during these times. A prediction of probable idle times is based on an assessment of a user's past use or by an aggregate of information from several users if a company wishes to determine optimal times for running such tasks or pushing software patches to employees. A policy table set by the user or a company determines the priority of maintenance tasks to be run during the predicted idle time.

摘要翻译： 系统自动确定计算系统的可能的空闲时间，并在这些时间内执行维护任务，如病毒扫描。 可能的空闲时间的预测是基于对用户的过去使用的评估，或者如果公司希望确定运行这样的任务或者向员工推送软件补丁的最佳时间，则来自多个用户的信息的总和。 由用户或公司设置的策略表确定在预测的空闲时间期间运行的维护任务的优先级。

摘要： Methods and devices for securely providing personalities to reconfigurable hardware. Reconfigurable hardware is provided with one or more domains. At least one domain serves as a gatekeeper domain and another domain serves as a task domain. A service provider provides an authentication and security personality to the gatekeeper domain. The hardware is shipped to the user. A user then accesses the service provider via a network connection and downloads a task personality into the task domain, but only if the personality in the gatekeeper domain allows the download to take place. Once the task personality completes a task, the user may download another task personality into the task domain, if permitted by the personality loaded in the gatekeeper domain. The domains and personalities are managed and made available by the service provider.

摘要： A system and method for providing real-time, dynamic switching between first and second service providers each capable of providing a service for users over a communications network. The method includes steps of: establishing switching criterion for deciding when to switch service provision between the first service provider and second service provider; maintaining state information associated with a user's use of the service provided by a first service provider; switching between the first and second service provided over the communications network based on satisfaction of the switching criterion; and, migrating any state information maintained up to the time of switching to the second service. Preferably, the dynamic switching occurs in a manner substantially transparent to the user.
