摘要： The present invention provides a distributed learning management architecture that is “componentized” for increased distribution and scalability. Specifically, the present invention provides an architecture in which multiple content servers, delivery servers and/or live session servers can be provided to accommodate multiple geographic locations. The present invention further provides an off-line learning architecture that allows the teachings of the distributed learning management architecture to be implemented on an individual client.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to managing the scatter and flood problem of the activity-centric computing environment and provide a method, system and computer program product for sorting and filtering activities in an activity-centric computing environment. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for filtering and sorting activity objects in an activity-centric computing environment can include generating at least one activity thread of hierarchically arranged activity objects, selecting at least one filtering criterion for the activity objects, and filtering the activity objects in the activity threads. Additionally, a filtered view of the activity objects can be generated in an activity map in the activity-centric computing environment.

摘要： The present invention provides a method and system to generate a unique code for a message and then allows easy and direct access to the content of that specific message. The unique code is transmitted in a message alert, which may be implemented for a variety of media. In particular, according to one embodiment, the present invention provides a method and system for enhanced messaging services incorporating the capability of alerting a message service subscriber to the receipt of high priority messages according to a defined set of filter criteria. The present invention is highly flexible and can be designed to work with any type of electronic message including e-mail, voice mail, facsimile etc. Furthermore, the enhanced messaging services are transparent to the typical messaging services in use today so that subscribers are not required to change messaging services or learn a new system.

摘要： A collaboration server is described that enables both real-time conferencing and content management. Thus, client applications can connect to the server to share data and collaborate in real-time. The server allows fine grained sharing of any type of content using generic shared objects (GSO). Each GSO holds one or more pieces of persistent information and defines a list of people who are allowed to access the information. Each GSO also represents a persistent conferencing session., i.e., if clients modify GSOs, modifications are broadcast to all the other clients on the list of the shared object if they are connected. The server also manages relationships between shared objects; i.e., shared objects could be contained in other shared objects or reference other shared objects.

摘要： The present invention provides a user interface that includes a first column for chronologically displaying a set of messages (objects) in a conversation, and a second column for displaying a branch of messages (objects) corresponding to a message (object) selected in the first column. The user interface further includes, among other things, a list of participants to the conversation, a vertical index (time line), a list of related conversations and a conversation map that illustrates a hierarchy of the conversation. Each message (object) in the first column can have an associated indicator for indicating a quantity of predecessors and successors to the set of messages (objects), as well as an in-line reply button for replying to the set of messages. Each of the messages displayed of the second column can have one or more associated navigation buttons for navigating adjacent hierarchical levels.

摘要： A system and method for providing targeted advertising to telephone callers in mid-dial. The invention monitors the dialing activities of a caller. When a caller enters a partial desired telephone number, an embodiment of the present invention receives the partial number and determines whether an advertisement should be presented to the caller. If all of the appropriate conditions are met, a selected advertisement is transmitted to the caller's telephony device and the caller is given the opportunity to respond to the advertisement before the dialing operation completes.
