International Classification:

G06F 9/45

US Classification:

717120

Abstract:

A computer-implementable method and system for managing software code documentation is disclosed. The method receives computer software code and documentation selected by a user and inserts one or more association keys in the selected code and one or more association keys in the selected documentation. The association keys are used to identify a portion of computer software documentation that corresponds with the computer software code. When the user wants to see documentation for a section of code, or code that corresponds to a section of documentation, the user selects the relevant text. The method receives the selected text, retrieves the association keys inserted in the selected text, determines whether the selected text is code or documentation, searches for documentation or code with matching association keys and alters the display of the matching documentation or code.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709206

Abstract:

A system and method of reclaiming lost Internet customers may involve detecting an outage condition associated with a host of an electronic commerce (e-commerce) web site. Customer data can be extracted from packets destined for the host, wherein the packets could be associated with transactions between customers and the web site. The extracted customer data may be stored and, upon detecting a resolution of the outage condition, a customer database can be searched based on the extracted customer data in order to identify customer contact information. A customer reclamation message may then be sent to the customer, wherein the message can incentivize the customer to return to the web site and request completion of the transaction.

US Classification:

726 5, 726 1, 726 2, 726 3, 726 4, 726 17, 726 21

Abstract:

A remotely located, uniquely identified resource can serve an application utilized by the Web browser. Access to the application can require authentication including a userid and password. A memory for a record associated with the application can be queried. The memory can include a set of userids and passwords indexed against unique application identifiers that are independent upon server identifiers or URLs. Responsive to querying the memory, a match between the application requiring authentication and a unique application identifier in the memory can be determined. A userid and password can be provided without manual input from a user from memory that is associated with the unique application identifier to the remotely located. The uniquely identified resource can use the userid/password as authentication to access the served application.

US Classification:

726 28, 726 8, 726 10, 726 27, 715751

Abstract:

Meeting originators grant permission to update (i. e. , add, change, and/or delete) a field or fields of a meeting invitation that corresponds to a calendar entry on an electronic calendar, enabling a meeting invitee to update a meeting invitation and to thereby communicate updates that can be reflected in the corresponding electronic calendar entries of other people who are invited to the meeting. Update permission may be granted to one meeting invitee, to all meeting invitees, or to a selected subset of the meeting invitees. Update permissions are associated with the particular meeting invitation, and preferably expire once the meeting time and date have passed. For recurring meetings, a particular update permission may be granted for a single instance of the meeting, or to all instances, and this permission preferably expires after the last instance of the recurring meeting has ended.

US Classification:

705 8, 7071041

Abstract:

Personalized meeting invitations, which may be used by electronic calendar applications (which may also be referred to as “calendar applications”, “calendaring applications”, or “calendar scheduling systems”). Using techniques disclosed herein, a meeting can be conceptually viewed as multiple smaller meetings, which are also referred to herein as “submeetings”, and a personalized meeting invitation sent to each invitee reflects that invitee's required presence at the meeting or an individual submeeting thereof. Optionally, personalized meeting invitations may also be used for invitees whose presence at a submeeting is optional. When an invitee accepts a personalized meeting invitation, the submeeting is placed on the invitee's electronic calendar, showing the invitee as unavailable during the corresponding time slot for the submeeting. Other people viewing the invitee's calendar can then see an accurate view of the invitee's availability.
