Netspeak Corporation - Boca Raton FL

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

709227, 709238, 709245

Abstract:

A point-to-point Internet protocol exchanges Internet Protocol (IP) addresses between processing units to establish a point-to-point communication link between the processing units through the Internet. A first point-to-point Internet protocol includes the steps of (a) storing in a database a respective IP address of a set of processing units that have an on-line status with respect to the Internet; (b) transmitting a. query from a first processing unit to a connection server to determine the on-line status of a second processing unit; and (c) retrieving the IP address of the second unit from the database using the connection server, in response to the determination of a positive on-line status of the second processing unit, for establishing a point-to-point communication link between the first and second processing units through the Internet. A second point-to-point Internet protocol includes the steps of (a) transmitting an E-mail signal, including a first IP address, from a first processing unit; (b) processing the E-mail signal through the Internet to deliver the E-mail signal to a second processing unit; and (c) transmitting a second IP address to the first processing unit for establishing a point-to-point communication link between the first and second processing units through the Internet.

Targus Communications Corp. - Boca Raton FL

International Classification:

G09G 500

US Classification:

345173, 382181, 178 1801

Abstract:

A pen-based tablet computer system that locates objects in a collection of stored images by using partial tracing of a graphical data object. The system uses data generated from the partial tracing of the graphical object to control a search of the input data file for the most likely graphical object which is a match. When the most likely match is located, the input data page containing the matched image is determined. The system then may determine the page of form data that applies to the input data page that contains the graphical object and the correct input data page and form data page are simultaneously displayed on the computer display screen. The graphical object may be an image, text data, a line drawing, etc.

Assignee:

Targus Communications Corp. - Boca Raton FL

International Classification:

G06K009/22

US Classification:

382181, 382315

Abstract:

A pen-based system that automatically identifies either single page or multi-page forms when data is a written on paper copies of the form. The system captures pen stroke data as an untrained user fills out the paper form attached to its surface. The sequence and location of the raw pen-stroke data is analyzed to determine which form the user was filling out and which field on each page was the intended field for the subsets of stroke data. The form/field identification method allows the electronic clipboard to be used as if it were an ordinary clipboard. One of several single or multi-page forms in the selected, and attached to the clipboard without any special attention to its positioning. The user can fill out fields in any order skipping between pages at will, leaving fields blank, etc. and having no other interaction with the clipboard.

Abstract:

A utility for enabling real-time, point-to-point communications over computer networks between users having dynamically assigned Internet Protocol addresses includes the ability to identify incoming communications, and, based on the identity of the incoming communication, selectively responding. In one embodiment, an information profile contained within an incoming signal is compared to a plurality of information profiles contained within the personal directory of a user, and, if a match occurs, the notification signal associated with the matched profile is generated. In an alternative embodiment, the information profile contained within the incoming communication includes an identifier of a notification signal which is used to select from a number of predefined notification signals resident within the user's private directory.
