摘要： A protection system and associated method prevent the automatic crawler access to a company's web-based data, without impacting the ability of an interactive user, such as a consumer, to access the data and to conduct regular business transactions. In one embodiment, the protection system will not prevent the crawler from downloading data; rather, the data will be rendered non-extractable by the crawler. In another embodiment, the protection system will prevent crawler access to the data. To this end, the protection system uses any one or a combination of the following six transcoding techniques: Transcoding technique that changes the web page structure; transcoding technique that changes the web page content; transcoding technique that selectively changes web page variable names; transcoding technique that selectively converts text to images in the web page; transcoding technique that alters form values when executed; and/or transcoding technique that generates a substantial portion of, or the entire web page when executed.

摘要： A computer program product is provided as a system for use with the Internet to determine the physical location of IP addresses. The system of the invention includes a locator broker and various databases. The locator broker is the intermediary between the locator sources that estimate the physical location of an IP address and the online sites requesting the physical location of the IP address. The locator broker aggregates and validates the results from its location queries of the locator sources then returns to the online site the most likely location for a given IP address. The locator broker also tracks the reliability of each locator source and thus targets its location queries to those services most likely to provide an accurate result. The locator broker digests location data from multiple geolocation services and presents a coherent view of the location data to the online site. The locator broker also provides value-added localization data to the online site based on the resulting location of the IP address including useful suggestions to the online site for tailoring data to the online user based on the user's physical location. The locator broker acts on a contract from the online site, which specifies the IP address for which a location is desired. The contract allows the online site to dictate the type of location desired (e.g., city, state), the accuracy desired, and the time frame in which the request must be satisfied. The locator broker bills the online site only when it satisfies the contract for time and accuracy.

摘要： The system and method of the present invention provide for automatic on-demand replication in a replication cluster of content management servers. A replication manager of a content management server receives newly created, modified, and deleted application item types along with their associated physical tables and automatically forwards the received application item types on-demand to the replication managers of other content management servers of the replication cluster.

摘要： A calendar system stores and organizes materials related to scheduled events, to-dos, addresses, etc. and allows a user to browse a calendar and select entries for viewing. In addition, each entry is linked to any number of topics related to that entry and up-to-date information on these topics are displayed when the entry is viewed. Topics are published on topic channels by one or more topic providers and a calendar system administrator defines which topics relate to which calendar entries. When a client enters information related to a new calendar entry or event, the calendar system determines which topics relate to that event and identifies corresponding topic channels which currently exist or need to be created between the calendar system and the topic providers. Finally, in each calendar entry, links are created to local versions of the appropriate topic channels and the entry is then persistently stored. Multiple calendar events and multiple calendar users are able to link to the same local topic channel and thereby reduce data searching, retrieval, and storage costs.

摘要： The present invention relates to the field of data processing, and particularly to a software system and associated method for use with a search engine. The engine searches data maintained in systems that are linked together over an associated network such as the Internet. More specifically, this invention pertains to a computer software product for determining, comparing, and representing the similarity between documents using a drag and drop Graphical User Interface (GUI) within a dynamically generated list of document identifiers. The invention uses this drag and drop GUI interface for convenient selection of document identifiers for further comparison. Then processing of a similarity analysis request using a configurable similarity algorithm is executed; this processing can be done on the client, proxy or server side. When the comparison process is completed, the GUI presents the similarity result of the comparison process as a Venn Diagram to show the level of similarity between the selected documents.

摘要： An item of value to one or more individuals in a group is tracked wherein each valuable object is tagged, and one or more members of the group carry a personal information management (PIM) device equipped with a sensor which constantly scans for the presence of a known valuable. The sensor is able to detect the type of tag(s) used by the group of individuals. Whenever a member of the group carrying a PIM device comes across a known tagged valuable, the system detects it and logs the location, valuable ID, and user ID in a database. Optionally, visual data is captured from the valuable and compared against a standard located in a database in order to locate the valuable.

摘要： The invention provides method of displaying strengths of social relationships between users of a computerized network. The invention evaluates network information, such as network communications, between one user of the network and other users of the network to produce metrics. The invention then normalizes the metrics from the perspective of the viewing user to produce relationship values representing strengths of social relationships between the viewing user and the other users. The invention classifies the relationship values into different groups, and optionally assigns context commands to each of the groups. The invention places each of the other users in one of the groups (according to their relationship value) and then displays a listing of the other users and their associated group identifications. The invention can assign different indicators to each of the groups, wherein the display links corresponding indicators to each of the other users to graphically identify the group in which each of the other users was placed. The display can utilize numbers, characters, sizes, fonts, character sets, icons, graphic features, colors, motions, speeds, and/or directions to graphically distinguish and identify the group in which each of the other users was placed. The displaying is primarily directed to and for use by the viewing user, but other users can use the invention to study relationships of a particular individual.

摘要： Sales associated with service providers is increased using an opportunistic approach based on an unexpected change in a schedule or services (time, location). Windows of opportunity (time, physical location) are automatically identified, and once such a window of opportunity is detected, the people affected directly from the change of a schedule are identified. This information is then used by services providers to act quickly, in order to enhance sales. Heuristics to determine a window of opportunity are based only on schedule changes (which are associated with a rule database), and without knowing who the affected people are or what their preferences (profile data) are.
