摘要： A method, operable on a processing device, for merging calendar entries may include receiving a plurality of calendar entries each associated with entry identification data. The method may also include comparing by the processing device at least a portion of the entry identification data associated with each of the calendar entries. The method may additionally include merging, by the processing device, the calendar entries based at least in part on comparing of at least the portion of the entry identification data associated with each of the at least two calendar entries. The method may further include comparing at least one time attribute associated with each of the calendar entries and comparing at least one textual attribute associated with each of the calendar entries and basing merging the calendar entries additionally on comparing the time attributes and the textual attributes.

摘要： A computer-implemented method of controlling attribute expression for an avatar within a virtual environment can include defining a rule that determines expression of an attribute of a first avatar conditioned upon an attribute of at least one other avatar within a virtual environment and, responsive to the first avatar contacting a second avatar within the virtual environment, determining an attribute of the second avatar. The method can include determining whether to express the attribute of the first avatar according to the attribute of the second avatar as determined by the rule and outputting a state of the first avatar specifying each attribute selected for expression.

摘要： A user of a calendar application subscribes to a syndication feed corresponding to an event recorded at the calendar application in a calendar data format. The syndication feed commences sending feed data to the user upon occurrence of the event. The feed data indicates a status of the event. The syndication feed binds to a feed data entry in the calendar application that is associated with the calendar item. The feed data of the syndication feed is converted from a feed format to the calendar data format usable by the calendar application to produce converted feed data. The converted feed data is presented in the calendar application proximate to the calendar item. One or more of the subscribing, binding, converting, and presenting is performed by a computing device.

摘要： The present invention discloses a solution for adding syndication feeds to calendar data exchange enabled programs, such as programs conforming to the iCalendar (iCal) standard. Default syndication feed links can be established by a publisher of iCalendar data. Subscribers of iCalendar data can replace default syndication feeds with feeds from other sources and/or add their own syndication feeds to a program that supports iCalendar data. Information obtained from the syndication feeds can be stored in a calendar entry indexed fashion, so that users accessing a iCalendar program can view information obtained from the syndication feeds as well as information related to an iCalendar subscription.

摘要： An application for use with a computer to allow a user to manage blocks of time. The application includes a graphical user interface (GUI) to be initiated upon a first command of the user with respect to a first icon, which represents a period of time in accordance with a time resolution, or one or more of a set of second icons, which represent units of time that are each smaller than and within the period of time represented by the first icon. The GUI includes a title field, a duration field, and a plurality of qualifier fields. A controller updates the calendar of the user based on information inputted into the GUI upon a second command of the user with respect to the GUI, and a time manager manages the time block.
