Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products are disclosed herein for assigning visual characteristics to records of a data structure and displaying those records. In response to an attribute being selected, records of the data structure may be sorted by values of the selected attribute of the records. A first set of records having values of the selected attribute that correspond to a first value may be identified. A second set of records having values of the selected attribute that correspond to a second value also may be identified. A first visual characteristic may automatically be assigned to each record of the first set of records and a second visual characteristic, that is different from the first visual characteristic, may be automatically assigned to each record of the second set of records.

Abstract: A method, system, and article for management of email communication content across a computer system network. An archive of email communications is retained on storage media in communication with the network. In addition, email communication is retained on storage media in communication with a client machine in the network. To mitigate duplication of email communications, duplicate communications are replaced with a hyperlink to the archive communication. This replacement supports removal of the duplicate communication from the storage media in communication with the client machine.

Abstract: A method, system, and article are provided for effectively managing a financial account for fraud prevention. The account is provided with a soft credit limit parameter and a tool for management of the soft credit limit parameter. The soft credit limit is in addition to a hard credit limit. More specifically, the hard credit limit is static and fixed by a credit issuing authority. In contrast, the soft credit limit is amendable under different circumstances and in conjunction with the tool is managed by the holder of the account.

Abstract: A target phone number previously associated with a first user is presently associated with a second user such that the target phone number is not presently associated with the first user. A caller uses a calling phone number to initiate a phone call to the target phone number. In response, it is determined whether the calling phone number is on a list of phone numbers associated with the first user. If the calling phone number is on the list of phone numbers associated with the first user, then the caller is notified that the target phone number is no longer associated with the first user. It is determined whether the caller wants to continue with the phone call, and if not, the phone call is terminated before it reaches the second user.

Abstract: In response to a payor planning a specific payment for a given amount to a payee, the given amount is reserved from a balance of a financial account of the payor from which the specific payment is to be made. As such, the given amount reserved from the balance is only available for settling the specific payment and is otherwise unavailable. After the payor has planned the specific payment for the given amount to the payee, in response to the specific payment for the given amount actually being made to the payee, the given amount reserved from the balance of the financial account is used to settle the specific payment for the given amount being made to the payee.

Abstract: A first computer program runs in user memory space of a computing environment, and a second computer program runs in kernel memory space of the computing environment. The first computer program determines processes that constitute a workload. The second computer program creates a workload identifier corresponding to the workload, and associates the processes with the workload identifier. The first computer program requests metrics regarding the workload. In response, the second computer program collects such metrics by collecting metrics regarding the processes that constitute the workload and that are associated with the workload identifier The second computer program reports the metrics regarding the workload to the first computer program.

Abstract: Methods and systems for using radio frequency identification (“RFID”) to automatically lock and unlock a mobile computing device. An RFID transceiver is installed in connection with a locking device. The locking device can secure the mobile computing device to a cable, which is securable to a physical structure. An RFID transmitter is configured to detect a signal from the RFID transceiver within a predetermined distance range and send a response signal to the RFID transceiver. If the RFID transmitter is within the range, the RFID transceiver detects the response signal from the RFID transmitter and issues an unlocking signal to change the position of the locking device to an unlocked position. If the RFID transmitter is outside of the range, the RFID transceiver does not detect a response signal from the RFID transmitter, and issues a locking signal to change the locking device position to a locked position.
