A method, system, and computer-usable medium for controlling removable media inventory. A request for corrective data to be combined with data stored on a removable medium to enable successful processing of the data stored on the removable medium is received from a media device. Then, an identification and flaw assessment of the removable medium is retrieved from the media device. Based on the identification, a server checks if a database entry exists for a class of removable media for which the removable medium is a member. When the database entry exists, the server evaluates if the class of removable media has exceeded a predetermined damage threshold. If the class of removable media exceeds the predetermined damage threshold, the server determines a quantity of removable media of the class of removable media for future procurement.

A recording system receives a broadcast signal from at least one service provider. An offset controller of the recording system samples a portion of the current broadcast signal on a particular channel over a particular interval of time. The offset controller then compares the sampled portion with a selection of features anticipated to be broadcast during the particular interval of time. Next, if the offset controller detects that a particular feature from among the selection of features matches within the portion of the current broadcast signal, then the offset controller calculates an offset time from a difference between an expected time for broadcast of the particular feature and an actual time of broadcast. The recording time for a program to be recorded is initially set to the start time and end time from a predetermined broadcast schedule. The offset controller adjusts the recording time of the program that is affected by the offset time so that the recording time of the program is synched to the actual broadcast time of the program on the particular channel.

A system and method of utilizing a network to correct flawed media data. The media device includes a processor, a memory, a network adapter, a removable media interface, an error-correction module, and a communication module. The network device enables the media device to connect to the network and server. The removable media interface enables a user to couple a removable medium to the media device. After a user inserts a removable medium into the removable media interface, the processor and error-correction module examines the removable medium for physical errors. If the number of detected errors exceeds a predetermined threshold, the media device, via the network adapter and the communication module, queries a server for correction data. This correction data may be utilized by the media device to enable successful processing of the data stored on the removable medium.

Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for spell checking URLs in a resource. Embodiments include identifying within a resource a URL, determining whether the URL is valid, and marking the URL as misspelled if the URL is invalid. In typical embodiments, determining whether the URL is valid is carried out by resolving a domain name contained in the URL. Typical embodiments also include suggesting an alternative spelling for the URL. In some embodiments, suggesting an alternative spelling for the URL is carried out by identifying a keyword in the resource, querying a search engine with the identified keyword, and selecting a URL in dependence upon search results returned by the search engine.

Weight based upselling, including receiving a purchase request for an item from a customer; determining a weight of the item; identifying, in dependence upon the weight of the item, a shipping weight range and a shipping cost for the item, where the shipping weight range includes a maximum shipping weight; calculating a difference between the weight of the item and the maximum shipping weight in the shipping weight range; selecting an upsell item in dependence upon the difference between the weight of the item and the maximum shipping weight in the shipping weight range; and offering the upsell item to the customer, including offering to ship both the item and the upsell item for only the identified shipping cost.
摘要:
A data processing system that is capable of providing dynamically adjusted renderings of images is disclosed. The data processing system uses an operating system that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) displayable in a first color scheme. The data processing system further includes a least one, preferably more, device drivers supporting a second color scheme. More particularly, the system performs dynamically adjusted rendering from the first color scheme to the second color scheme. To perform such rendering, the system renders a graphic primitive in the first color scheme to a second color scheme and stores the rendered graphic primitive as a new second color scheme surface. This is repeated iteratively until such a time as the rendered surface has been completed. Preferably, the second color scheme is CYAN, MAGENTA, and YELLOW (CMY) and may further include BLACK (K).

A method, computer program product, and a data processing system for distributing attendee information for use in a physical encounter involving multiple attendees is provided. An identifier assigned to a first data processing system associated with a first attendee is received by wireless transmission. A query including the identifier is formulated. The query is executed on an attendee database. A record of the database including an identity of the first attendee is wirelessly transmitted to a second data processing system associated with a second attendee responsive to execution of the query.
