摘要： A method, system, and computer program product for managing multiple profiles in a synchronous conferencing system. A synchronous conferencing account is provided for a first user of the synchronous conferencing system. The synchronous conferencing account includes a plurality of user profiles for the first user. The user profiles identify the first user differently. Each user profile is associated with one or more data fields identifying the first user. The data fields may include any or all of a name, a nickname, a login name, and an avatar. A request from a second user of the synchronous conferencing system to communicate with the first user is received. The request includes an identification of the second user. One of the user profiles is selected based on the identification of the second user. The data fields associated with the selected user profile are transmitted to the second user.

摘要： A method for automatically enabling closed captioning in video conferencing when a heavy accent is detected from a current speaker is provided. Language background and/or ethnicity information is received as a user preference. An acceptable accent level is determined according to the user preference. An audio signal of a speaker speaking in a language is received. A pronunciation of the speaker in the audio signal is compared with standard pronunciation for the language. An accent level of the speaker is determined, and the accent level of the speaker is compared to the acceptable accent level. If the comparison determines that the accent level of the speaker does not comply with the acceptable accent level, closed captioning in enabled for the audio signal. If the comparison determines that the accent level of the speaker complies with the acceptable accent level, closed captioning is not enabled for the audio signal.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention relate to dynamic creation and tracking of one or more tasks. Each task has one or more properties that define the task. Activities are monitored in real-time, and one or more tasks associated with the monitored activity are placed in a queue. Progress of the queued tasks is monitored in view of any associated milestones. Upon completion of the task, the associated milestones are updated to reflect that either the milestones have been met or to change associated milestone data so that future processing of the monitored tasks may include the updated milestone data.

摘要： The invention described herein detects an external user entering into a virtual world that includes a virtual area. In turn, the invention described herein identifies a plurality of joined users that joined each virtual area and computes a joined user weighting for each of the plurality of joined users. The joined user weightings include friend of a friend level weightings and commonality weightings. Next, the invention described herein computes a virtual area friendliness level for each of the virtual areas by aggregating each of the joined user weightings for each of the virtual areas, and provides the virtual area friendliness levels to the external user in order for the external user to select the appropriate virtual area.

摘要： A software module for displaying gender-based avatar representations of users in instant messaging communications comprises a username analysis component and an interface component. The username analysis component is configured to be implemented within an instant messaging system providing for communication between a first user and a second user each having a user account registered with the instant messaging system. The username analysis component is configured to perform an anthroponomastic analysis of a username of the first user to assign a probable gender for the first user. The probable gender is selected from male, female, and neutral. The interface component is configured to display a gender-based avatar representation indicative of the probable gender for the first user to the second user when the first user and the second user are participating in a communication session with one another via the instant messaging system.
