Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus that improve the perceived responsiveness of a multi-server web site or web environment to web requests issued by web browsers. In one aspect, the methods and apparatus operate by determining a likely sequence of web pages to be accessed by users. The methods and apparatus then incorporate information identifying web pages and web page content likely to be requested later in the sequence in web pages responsive to web page requests received earlier in the sequence. In one such method, the URL of a second web is incorporated in a first web page that is expected to be requested before the second web page. A web client receiving the first web page will then issue a DNS request for address information corresponding to the URL of the second web page even if no request has been received for the second web page. Thus, the probability of a DNS system cache miss occurring when a web request for the second web page is actually received by the web client is significantly reduced.

A method and system for in-context assembly of user interactive actionable insights and modalities in a plurality of multi-modal stages is provided. The method and system include tracking a virtual event in a first stage and also tracking a physical event corresponding to the virtual event in the first stage. The method also includes determining if the tracked virtual event and the physical event are internal or external to the first stage and altering content upon determining the tracked virtual event and the physical event are internal to the first stage. The method and system include returning at least one stage of the multi-modal stages to a quiescent state after a predetermined time correlated to quiescent user activity.

One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for processing a search request message received over a network includes computing a threshold value in accordance with the search request message and returning at least one search result to a user in response to the search request message, if a rank of the at least one search result at least meets the threshold value.

A method, system and program storage device for browsing hyperlinked documents are provided. A method in one aspect may include enabling navigating from a document having a plurality of hyperlinks to a document associated with one of said plurality of hyperlinks; and enabling navigating directly from said document associated with one of said plurality of hyperlinks to another document associated with another one of said plurality of hyperlinks using one or more of a plurality of defined elements. System and program storage device for performing the above methods are also provided.

A method and system for multi-modal fusion of physical and virtual information channels include a virtual information channel and physical information channel and also provide for tracking virtual events and physical events corresponding to the virtual event and altering delivery of virtual space content via the virtual information channel upon determining the tracked at least one virtual event meets predetermined criteria. These also provide for dynamic adaptability of content and corresponding channels via information sprite clusters presented to a user as well as providing a virtual display and populating each of a plurality of sprites with information content correlated to the user; and presenting on the virtual display at least one information sprite cluster containing a plurality of information sprites. The cluster is presented and rotated on the virtual display to improve user accessibility of the plurality of sprites according to derived, and or detected, user personalization factors.

One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for assisting a peer-to-peer connection between a first node and a second node includes receiving, at a third node, a request for connection assistance from one of the first and second nodes. The third node then connects to both the first node and the second node, receives the data from the first node and delivers the data to the second node. In this manner, data may be transferred between the first and second nodes even if the first and second nodes are unable to directly connect to each other (e.g., due to permanent or temporary limitations).

One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for reducing spam in peer-to-peer networks includes forming a search message including at least one decoy word and sending the search request message, including the decoy word(s), to one or more nodes in the network. Embodiments of the present invention make it possible to weed out nodes in the network that send spam in response to every search message (e.g., regardless of the search message's content).

One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for re-establishing anonymous data transfers between a first endpoint and a second endpoint in a network includes receiving, from a first node, the identity of a second node connected to the first node, where at least the first node is a neighbor node. A third node (a neighbor node) is then selected, and instructed to connect to the second node in order to establish a link for the path. In this manner, the first endpoint and the second endpoint remain unknown at least to each other (e.g., where “unknown” means that neither endpoint knows any identifying information, such as network address, about the other endpoint), and likely to all other nodes in the path as well. In another embodiment, a failure is detected at a neighbor node, where the neighbor node is part of an original path between the first endpoint and the second endpoint. The neighbor node's repair server is contacted for a repair node associated with the neighbor node, and a connection to the repair node is made such that the path is established in a manner that maintains anonymity of the first endpoint and the second endpoint relative to each other.
