摘要:
An apparatus and method for modifying and improving pointing device operation. The apparatus comprises a signal detector, a signal modifier, and a signal transmitter. The apparatus intercepts pointing device signals before application programs receive them. The signal detector continuously listens for signals generated by a pointing device, or a pointing device program. Responsive to the signal detector detecting a pointing device signal, the signal modifier determines what type of GUI element is located at the current pointer location. Based upon the identified GUI element, the signal modifier modifies the pointing device signal appropriately. The signal transmitter then relays the modified signal to any other programs that would have received the original signal if not for the action of the apparatus.

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for embedding and importing content prediction instructions. Content prediction instructions are customized. The content prediction instruction is part of content prediction logic. The prediction instruction is embedded in a document in response to receiving a user selection to embed the prediction instruction.

A method and system of text entry. An attribute of text entered by a user into an application is determined. The entered text is matched to a single portion of each attribute segment of one or more indexed segments of text, based upon a determined attribute of each attribute segment and the determined attribute of the entered text. Each attribute segment consists of the single portion and a remaining portion. After the entered text is matched to a single portion of each attribute segment, a selection of a single attribute segment selected from the one or more indexed segments of text by the user is received. The remaining portion of the selected single attribute segment is entered into the application.

A reference note is automatically generated in an electronic document when directly quoting information from another electronic document by receiving a first user-selected insertion point or replacement area to a destination electronic document by receiving a user selection of text content to be transferred from a source user interface to the first insertion point or replacement area; automatically copying the selected content to a transfer buffer without requiring the user to return to the first user interface; automatically capturing and recording one or more source reference data items corresponding to the selected content simultaneously with or subsequent to automatically copying the selected content to a transfer buffer; and automatically generating in the destination electronic document at least one reference note such as a footnote, an endnote, a table of references entry, or a bibliographical entry containing the recorded source reference data items.

The invention is a data processing means wherein human perceptible elements of electronic information are gathered, prepared, formatted, or otherwise processed in forming a unified collection of such information storable as a distinct entity. In particular, the invention is a process for composing and displaying a consolidated message document. The preferred embodiment of the invention is a computer program that configures a general-purpose computer to implement the inventive process. Responsive to a user's selection of a message, the inventive process identifies all related messages that the user has received, inserts the related messages into a consolidated message document, and displays the consolidated message document on the user's output device. The inventive process further comprises the steps of removing duplicate message content, sorting the related messages within the consolidated message document according to user-specified preferences, storing the consolidated message document, and marking the related messages for deletion.

Information elements are automatically translated during cutting-and-pasting in a destination first, source second sequence by receiving a user selection of insertion points in the contents of a destination computer resource, then receiving a user selection of one or more information elements, intercepting transfer of the information elements to the destination computer resource, determining which intercepted information elements are expressed in a natural language not matching a user-specified natural language, performing one or more natural language handling actions on the intercepted information elements which do not match the user specified natural language as defined by one or more natural language handling rules, and transferring translated information elements to the destination.
摘要:
Previously conducted conversations in real-time collaboration messages are persistently stored, either by client or a server, and then are associated with conversational items presented to a user (e.g. contact names, topics, etc.). An icon is provided near each listed item, which when selected, displays to the user summaries or titles of all transcripts to which the selected item pertains or relates. The user may select one or more summaries or titles for which the conversation is to be resumed, causing the system to retrieve the stored transcript and resume appending new conversational entries to it, so that the user recovers conversational context effortlessly and accurately. Enhanced versions of the invention include sharing of transcripts so that all participants receive the context of the conversation, and server-side or client-side implementations.
摘要:
A Centralized Authentication & Authorization (CAA) system that facilitates secure communication between service clients and service providers. CAA comprises a Service Request Filter (SRF), a Service Client Authentication Program (SCAP), a Service Authorization Program (SAP), and an Authorization Database (ADB). The SRF intercepts service requests, extracts the service client's identifier from a digital certificate attached to the request, and stores the identifier in memory accessible to service providers. In the preferred embodiment, the SRF forwards the service request to a web service manager. The web service manager invokes SCAP. SCAP matches the identifier with a record stored in ADB. SAP queries ADB to determine if the service request is valid for the service client. If the service request is valid, SAP authorizes the service request and the appropriate service provider processes the service request.

A system and computer program product for national language support. National language support for an application is provided by recording translations of a text string in corresponding different languages in a single property file so as to allow display of the translations in the property file. One of the translations of the text string recorded in the property file is selected for use by an application based on a locale associated with the execution of the application and the selected one of the translations is used in the execution of the application.
