International Classification:

H04L 26/06

US Classification:

713167

Abstract:

Preventing uncontrolled access to an execution environment of a first component object by a second component object. A system includes a memory area storing the first component object, the second component object, and one or more predefined properties associated with the second component object. The system comprises a processor configured to receive a request from the first component object stored in the memory area to create the second component object stored in the memory area. The first component object executes in a first execution environment and the request specifies a requested execution environment for the second component object. The processor is also configured for analyzing the predefined properties stored in the memory area to determine an execution environment privilege associated with the second component object. The processor is configured for granting the received request as a function of the determined execution environment privilege.

US Classification:

719328, 713164, 707 3

Abstract:

Monitoring interactions between application programs and data stores for analyzing stability of application programs. A method of the invention intercepts interactions from a plurality of application programs to a data store. The method also identifies pre-execution data relating to each of the intercepted interactions and the intercepted interaction is executed. The method identifies post-execution data relating to each of the executed interactions. The identified pre-execution data and the identified post-execution data from each of the interactions are normalized to create normalized interaction data for each of the interactions. The method combines the normalized interaction data for each of the interactions as a function of the application programs associated with each of the interactions. The method further stores the combined interaction data for analysis of the interactions between the application programs and the data store which is indicative of the stability of the application programs.

International Classification:

G06F009/44

US Classification:

717/170000

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods for keeping an application up-to-date that identify the application and the application user's specific needs to apply just the updates the user needs when the user needs them. Based on particulars of the user's computing environment, an update policy is implemented that specifies certain “triggering events” for each application to be kept up-to-date. When a triggering event occurs, the application associated with the triggering event is identified. A list is compiled of the updates already applied to the application. Another list is compiled, possibly at a remote update server, of all the updates available for the application. The lists are compared, and if an available but not yet applied update is found, then that update is sent to the user. To identify an application associated with a triggering event, the update server correlates information collected from the user's computing environment with the server's database of available updates.

International Classification:

H04L009/00

US Classification:

713201000

Abstract:

Managing the installation, execution, and removal of application programs by an operating system via an application identity associated with each application program. A method of the invention assigns the application identity to each application program and a resource identity to each resource associated with each application program. The method relates the assigned application identity and resource identity to enable manipulation of the application program and its resources.

US Classification:

718104000, 707001000

Abstract:

Granting an application program access to a resource as a function of a privilege associated with the application program. An embodiment of the invention employs a persistent, individual identity associated with the components of an application program or a group of application programs to allow an operating system to identify and differentiate between different application programs or groups of application programs installed on a computing system. The identity associated with each component of an application program enables the identification and removal or uninstallation of the application program. The identity also enables isolation of resources of the application program and protection of operating system resources.

International Classification:

G06F 9/45

US Classification:

717141000

Abstract:

System and method for analyzing the impact of interactions of application programs with resources stored in a data store. A method of the invention receiving a selection of the application programs from a user. The interactions of the resources by the selected application programs are identified. The method also determines access types for each of the interactions of the resources by the selected application programs. The method further selects a set of the identified interactions and the determined access types that corresponds to a map, said map including a predefined set of interactions having access types associated therewith. The map with the selected set of the identified interactions and the determined access types is provided to the user. For example, the map identifies potential resource conflicts. Alternatively, the method generates a report including the map.

Abstract:

A system and method for customizing a composite toolbar via direct on-screen manipulation by resizing the composite toolbar and by rearranging sections within a composite toolbar. A composite toolbar is displayed in an initial configuration state having a resizing area and a plurality of sections displayed on a number n rows. When the resizing area has been dragged in a first direction, the size of the composite toolbar is increased by changing to a larger configuration state having n+1 rows. When the resizing area has been dragged in a second direction, the size of the composite toolbar is decreased by changing to a smaller configuration state having n-1 rows. In another aspect of the present invention, when the one of the sections has been dragged in a first direction, the dragged section is expanded so that it overlaps an adjacent section. When one of the sections has been dragged in a second direction, the dragged section is collapsed so that it reveals an adjacent section.
