摘要:
Techniques are disclosed for facilitating coordination of user activities in accordance with information processing systems and, more particularly, to techniques for managing encounters with persons using such information processing systems. For example, a method for facilitating user coordination of one or more activities comprises the following steps. User personal preference input for managing an encounter with at least one other person is accepted. Input of at least one user schedule entry is received. Schedule entries of the at least one other person are evaluated and it is automatically determined whether there is an overlap between the at least one user schedule entry and the schedule entries of the at least one other person. A response to a determined overlap is automatically determined. The user personal preference input may comprise an indication of whether the user wishes to avoid an encounter with the at least one other person or coordinate an encounter with the at least one other person.

Techniques are disclosed for modifying speech quality in a conversation over a voice channel. For example, a method for modifying a speech quality associated with a spoken utterance transmittable over a voice channel comprises the following steps. The spoken utterance is obtained prior to an intended recipient of the spoken utterance receiving the spoken utterance. An existing speech quality of the spoken utterance is determined. The existing speech quality of the spoken utterance is compared to at least one desired speech quality associated with at least one previously obtained spoken utterance to determine whether the existing speech quality substantially matches the desired speech quality. At least one characteristic of the spoken utterance is modified to change the existing speech quality of the spoken utterance to the desired speech quality when the existing speech quality does not substantially match the desired speech quality. The spoken utterance is presented with the desired speech quality to the intended recipient.
摘要:
A method, an apparatus and an article of manufacture for masking a message on an electronic device. The method includes receiving a message on an electronic device, determining if a message category label is included in the message, mapping the message category to a corresponding masking format if a message category label is included in the message, extracting the content of the message to generate a message category if a message category label is not included in the message, wherein each message category generated corresponds to a masking format, and masking the message on the electronic device by transforming the message into the masking format that corresponds to the message category for the message.

A method for separating a dividable computer device into multiple sub-computers may include receiving, by the dividable computer device, a command to separate a sub-computer from the dividable computer device. The method may also include detecting by the dividable computer device separation of the sub-computer and reconfiguring the dividable computer device for operation without the separated sub-computer in response to each sub-computer being separated.
摘要:
Methods and system for facilitating multi-dimensional personal heating and cooling. User information is used as a mean to configure the temperature in a surrounding environment, thereby facilitating comfort for a user and, in the case wherein multiple users are accessing an area, classifying the area into a number of regions and maintaining each region at a different temperature and guiding the users to desired regions.
摘要:
Computing system resources are controlled based on the behavioral attributes associated with users of the computing system. These behavioral attributes are monitored in real time and through a historical log, and behavioral attributes that fall outside pre-determined preferred behavioral parameters are detected. Access by the computing system user to computing system resources contained in a preferred and habitually accessed computing system resource set associated with the computing system user are adjusted in response to the detection of the behavioral attribute outside the pre-determined preferred behavioral parameters.
摘要:
A method, system, and computer program product for operating a web browser in an open browsing mode and a private browsing mode. The method may include calculating, by a computer processor, a privacy probability that a website contains information sensitive to the user. The privacy probability may be based, at least in part, on historical use of the private browsing mode by the user. The method may also include comparing the privacy probability to a privacy threshold and automatically switching the browser from the open browsing mode to the private browsing mode for the website if the privacy probability is greater than the privacy threshold.

Techniques for optimizing battery usage are provided. The techniques include sensing energy level of a battery, comparing the sensed energy level of the battery to a predetermined energy threshold for the battery, and controlling energy flow to and from the battery based on the comparison of the sensed energy level and the energy threshold.
摘要:
Techniques for converting spoken speech into written speech are provided. The techniques include transcribing input speech via speech recognition, mapping each spoken utterance from input speech into a corresponding formal utterance, and mapping each formal utterance into a stylistically formatted written utterance.
