Abstract: A processor may analyze one or more unread messages. The one or more unread messages may be from one or more respective conversations. The processor may generate, from the analyzing, an ambiguous strings model. The processor may summarize, via utilization of the ambiguous strings model, the one or more unread messages. The processor may genericize the ambiguous strings model.

Abstract: A system and method for downloading compressed images from an Internet server to a consumer's computer is described. Two Windows® threads manage the process of downloading, decompressing and rendering images to the consumer's display. A first binding thread manages communication between the server computer and the consumer's computer, while a second worker thread oversees decompressing and rendering all of the images. The downloaded images are sent by the binding thread to a temporary buffer, wherein the worker thread instructs a decoder object to begin processing all of the data within the specified buffer. As the decoder object decompresses the data in the buffer, the decompressed image data is sent to a bitmap file. A rendering object reads the bitmap file and paints the downloading image to the consumer's display.
