Abstract: Methods, systems and program storage devices receive actions taken by a user during an interaction with a web resource, wherein the actions cause the web resource to assume a particular state; and save information describing the actions. Other methods, systems and program storage devices retrieve the information; and perform at least one action using the information, causing a graphical user interface to display the web resource in a state in accordance with the action. The particular state can include without limitation a plurality of states assumed sequentially when the web resource is displayed, and the information can describe a sequential series of actions that cause the web resource to assume the sequential series of states. In such variants further operations include receiving a series of commands to step through the sequential states of the web resource; and using the information to display the sequential states. The series of commands can be issued automatically or under user control.

Abstract: A method, system and program storage device are provided for allowing chat room participants to communicate with other participants privately without requiring general chat “friends” or “buddies” pre-authorization. All chatting dialog including private and public chats are consolidated into a unified group chat dialog window that requires no special handling by a user to see public and private chats. The private and public chat messages are displayed chronologically in a single chat message log within the chat group window.

Abstract: A web page is adaptively transcribed and rendered at a client endpoint. A request for a web page is received, and full page content of the web page is obtained from a remote web server, including assembly of previously cached parts of the web page. The web page is transcribed according to prescribed rules. The prescribed rules are selected according to user preferences, the environmental factors and information learned from prior handling of the web page. The transcribed web page is rendered.

Abstract: A method for dynamically re-calculating and presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes interface icons based on user context, includes, for a current user, determining a change in user context associated with the GUI. The method then modifies one of a state, appearance and spatial placement of the user interface icons within the GUI automatically, in accordance with a determined change in user context. The step of determining a change in user context may further include analyzing a set of contextual attributes associated with the user.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for dynamically calculating and presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) within the display device in a computing system including a display device and an input device. The method includes creating a shared icon space within the GUI, automatically populating the shared icon space with GUI icons including stacking and clustering the GUI icons in the shared icon space based on current context, and potential user needs in view of the current user context and modifying the shared icon space in response to a detected change in current context.

Abstract: A method and system for multi-modal fusion of physical and virtual information channels include a virtual information channel and physical information channel and also provide for tracking virtual events and physical events corresponding to the virtual event and altering delivery of virtual space content via the virtual information channel upon determining the tracked at least one virtual event meets predetermined criteria. These also provide for dynamic adaptability of content and corresponding channels via information sprite clusters presented to a user as well as providing a virtual display and populating each of a plurality of sprites with information content correlated to the user; and presenting on the virtual display at least one information sprite cluster containing a plurality of information sprites. The cluster is presented and rotated on the virtual display to improve user accessibility of the plurality of sprites according to derived, and or detected, user personalization factors.

Abstract: A method and system for in-context assembly of user interactive actionable insights and modalities in a plurality of multi-modal stages is provided. The method and system include tracking a virtual event in a first stage and also tracking a physical event corresponding to the virtual event in the first stage. The method also includes determining if the tracked virtual event and the physical event are internal or external to the first stage and altering content upon determining the tracked virtual event and the physical event are internal to the first stage. The method and system include returning at least one stage of the multi-modal stages to a quiescent state after a predetermined time correlated to quiescent user activity.

Abstract: A method and system for multi-modal fusion of physical and virtual information channels is provided. The method and system include a virtual information channel and physical information channel. The method and system also provide for tracking virtual events and physical events corresponding to the virtual event and altering delivery of virtual space content via the virtual information channel upon determining the tracked at least one virtual event meets predetermined criteria.
