International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709206, 709203, 709207, 709223

Abstract:

A computer data handling method, system and apparatus are disclosed. A data item or information object are received in one protocol. Based on data contents, a protocol transfer module (engine) optimizes information presentation by transferring/converting the data item from the one protocol to a form of the data item in a different protocol. The resulting form (i. e. the data item/information object in the different protocol) optimally presents the data contents to an end-user. The end user reads the converted data item in the different protocol. The invention system enables the user to reply or otherwise further handle the data item in the initial protocol as desired. The initial protocol may be email and the resulting form of the data item may be one or more feed entries in machine-readable feeds specified by the user. The invention optimization effectively reduces email In-box clutter and streamlines reading in feed readers.

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

715753, 715759

Abstract:

A system for providing a local computer user with detailed activity information regarding remote users, in order to assist the local user in determining whether to initiate a communication session with a remote user. The system provides activity information describing the number of instant messaging sessions one or more remote users are currently involved in, the identities of participants in those sessions, activity levels, time period information, and other information. The system further provides detailed activity information describing recent instant messaging sessions of one or more remote users.

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715800, 715781

Abstract:

Computer system, method and apparatus generate and display a graphical representation of a body of text. The graphical representation serves as a text map allowing navigation operations and other user interaction. The text map enables improved navigation of the body of text. Computer-based geographic mapping operations (e. g. , zoom, pan, highlight, etc. ) are used to navigate the text. The text map may have various graphical feature overlays also navigable by and interactive to the user.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707001000

Abstract:

A Web site development tool such as WikiWiki allows a value to be referenced on a page other than the page on which the value is defined. The reference syntax may indicate the name of the page on which the value is defined and the value name, such as with a dot notation: .. Translation of Wiki source to HTML is executed in a manner which enables changes to the value in the value-defining page to be reflected in the value referencing page, i.e., the value reference is dynamic. Further, use of a symbolic name to represent a value is supported. Performance of calculations with a value and page aliasing are also supported.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715751000

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to Wiki page processing and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for multi-type field processing in a Wiki page. In one embodiment of the invention, a data processing system configured to serve Wiki pages, the data processing system can be provided. The system can include a content host configured with a Wiki server, and multi-field editing logic coupled to the Wiki server. The multi-field editing logic can include program code enabled to edit at least two different fields in a Wiki page. Moreover, each of the different fields can have correspondingly different field types wherein one of the field types is a dynamic access control list (ACL) limited editable field.

US Classification:

709226

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method of managing bookmarks within a collaborative application can include receiving a user input specifying a universal resource locator (URL) to be bookmarked and determining whether a bookmark record including the URL exists. Responsive to determining that a bookmark record including the URL does not exist, an address and a network type for the URL can be determined. A bookmark record including the URL and the network type can be stored.
