Abstract: A first peer computer system operable in a peer to peer network, comprising: means for accessing a first piece of information, means for creating a first entity (e.g. a “token”), means for associating the first entity with the first piece of information (e.g. attaching the first piece of information to the entity) and wherein the first entity is associated with a topic of the information.

Abstract: A system for transmitting an input stream for use with an apparatus comprising a plurality of entities (e.g. applications, processes etc.) wherein each entity comprises an associated entity profile having associated profile data. The system comprises: a focus component for detecting focus of a first entity and an intercept component for intercepting the input stream having input data, before the input stream is input to the focused first entity. A match component matches the input data with first profile data of a first entity profile associated with the focused first entity. In response to the input data not matching the first profile data, the match component matches the input data with second profile data of a second entity profile associated with a second entity. In response to the input data matching the second profile data, the input stream is transmitted to the second entity.

Abstract: A method of assisting a user, for use in an environment comprising: a user session, an external entity session and a forms engine for generating a form. The method comprises the steps of: registering with the user session, wherein a first session is established between the user session and the forms engine; receiving a request for assistance from a user; in response to receiving the request, de-registering with the user session, wherein the first session is un-established; registering with the external entity session, wherein a second session is established between the external entity session and the forms engine; receiving input from the external entity session; and populating the form with the received input.
