  • Publication number: 20140075309
    Abstract: Methods and systems of summarizing media content may provide for receiving a request for a presentation of media content to a user, and determining a media consumption context associated with the user and the media content, wherein the media consumption context includes an amount of time between media consumption sessions. Additionally, a level of detail for a summary of the media content may be determined based on the media consumption context. In one example, the media consumption context further includes one or more of an amount of media consumed in a most recent media consumption session, an information retention capacity of the user, a complexity of the media content, a granularity input from the user, and a user preference setting.

  • Patent number: 7877680
    Abstract: A computer-implementable method, system and computer media for auto-generating and auto-versioning a dynamic document are presented. In a preferred embodiment, the computer-implementable method includes populating a dynamic document with content from multiple sources. The dynamic document is then version named in accordance with a nomenclature rule that identifies a source and version of content from the multiple sources. In response to a content from one or more of the multiple sources changing at a source, the dynamic document is updated with updated content, and a version name of the dynamic document is updated to reflect the updated content.

  • Publication number: 20090198781
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a solution to optimize a manner in which core group communications are handled. In the solution, a message to be conveyed from one core group to a different core group can be identified. The message can be encased in a bridge wrapper. This encasing does not alter a format or content of the identified message. The encased message can be conveyed to the different core group. A processing of the encased message by the different core group can be dependent upon the bridge wrapper and can be dependent upon a network topology connecting the core groups. For example, the bridge wrapper can permit bridges to selectively forward posts, subscriptions, and status messages to non-sending core groups in a chain topology implementation. In a mesh topology, use of the bridge wrapper can enable a bridge to resent and/or remove local posts.

  • Patent number: 5996016
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided which provide a plurality of IP applications in a single processing system by intercepting a bind call of an IP application. An alternate address is obtained for utilization with the IP application and the bind call reinitiated utilizing the alternate address. Furthermore, it may be determined if an alternate address is to be utilized with the IP application the alternate address obtained if it is determined that an alternate address is to be used. Then, the bind call is reinitiated utilizing the alternate address if it is determined that an alternate address is to be utilized with the IP application. The bind call may also be reinitiated utilizing an address of the intercepted bind call if it is determined that an alternate is not to be utilized.
