Abstract:
Computer method and apparatus manages and navigates computer implemented information. A first source information and second source information are related as parent-child information. Keywords are extracted from the first and second source information and are used to relate second source information to the first source information. This produces dynamic sets or groupings of second source information related by keywords. Display of a listing of the keywords enables user navigation of the information especially according to the groupings of second source information.

Abstract:
A system for auto-sorting of lists based on most frequent component access or partner collaboration. The elements in the lists may represent collaboration partners (e. g. instant messaging contacts), and/or collaboration components such as Web addresses, events, collaborative documents, activity objects, and/or desktop applications. The system monitors component accesses and/or partner collaborations over a configurable time period to determine the frequency of collaborations with specific collaboration partners, and/or the frequency of accesses to collaboration components. The disclosed system then determines a set of collaboration partners and/or components that are most frequently collaborated with and/or accessed, and moves the list elements representing those collaboration partners and/or components into a top-located sub-list within a list of elements representing a larger number of collaboration partners and/or components in a user interface provided to a local user. The size of the top-located sub-list is user configurable, and the user may further indicate that certain collaboration partners and/or components are to be added to the sub-list, removed from the sub-list, always excluded from the sub-list, or always included in the sub-list. The local user may also be provided with a configurable set of alert notifications through the user interface communicating when collaboration partners and/or components have been added to and/or removed from the sub-list.

US Classification:
709204, 709223
Abstract:
A system and method that allows electronic collaboration events to be co-chaired, thus eliminating restricted process access or bottlenecks and therefore providing a more efficient electronic collaboration event is provided. The method includes identifying a plurality of peer level chairperson positions for the electronic event and identifying at least one chairperson corresponding to each of the of peer level chairperson positions. The method also includes assigning each of the plurality of peer level chairperson positions make change authority; save change authority; send change authority; and view history authority.
Method And System For Providing A Scroll-Bar Pop-Up With Quick Find For Rapid Access Of Sorted List Data

US Classification:
715787
Abstract:
A pop-up window is generated when the user clicks on the slider within the scroll bar display object. The pop-up window displays information from one or more categories in a currently selected list entry, including the category on which the list is currently sorted. As the user moves the slider, the information in the pop-window is updated to reflect the current location in the list, as determined by the current location of slider within the scroll bar. When the user stops scrolling, i.e. releases the scroll slider, the matching entry for the current location becomes highlighted, and the system enters a search mode. In the search mode, the disclosed system continues to display the pop-up window for a few seconds to allow the user the option of editing the text in the pop-up (as derived from the current position in the list) in order to go to another entry in the sorted list. Accordingly, the sorted category information loaded from the current list entry becomes editable within the pop-up window with a type ahead feature allowing the user to see and select from and search based on information from list entries in the sorted data that closely match the text that the user has typed into the pop-up window. When the user presses “Enter”, the current view and scroll bar position are relocated to reflect the position of the entry matching the selected search information.
