Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for generating an activity plan for a user of a platform and generating a resource plan based on the activity plan and a current state of the platform. Additionally, one or more conflicts between the activity plan and the resource plan may be resolved. In one example, generating the activity plan includes predicting one or more of a meeting, a trip, a presentation, a media consumption session or an application usage.

Abstract: Systems and methods are introduced for evaluating the relevance of rich media material. A topic and a document are received, and the document is divided into various pieces. The relevance of each piece is evaluated with respect to the received topic, and these individual evaluations are combined in some way into a surrogate representation of the relevance.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying data by determining an information content factor for a given datum and determining an information content threshold. The given datum is displayed if the information content factor of the given datum exceeds the information content threshold.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an electronic filing system for automatically organizing information into a number of storage elements or folders. The storage elements are folders arranged hierarchically. The information is stored into the storage elements based on its contents. Each storage element is associated by a set of profiles and a set of constraint expressions. The constraint expressions are quantitative measurements of the profiles. The information is scanned and its features are extracted and compared with the profiles. If the features match the storage element's profiles, the features are quantitatively evaluated to produce information expressions. If the information expressions are within the constraints specified by the constraint expressions, the information is stored into the storage element. The profiles and the constraint expressions can be adjusted to reflect the changes in the user's interests.

Abstract: Text of a predetermined class is recognized in a body of text. After recognition, operations relevant to the recognized text may be performed. For example, text such as telephone numbers, telefax numbers, and dates can be recognized in a body of text. Options are provided for selecting and running operations and programs relevant to the recognized text, such as, telephone dialers, telefaxing programs, writable databases etc. Libraries of subroutines are provided for each class of text to be recognized. Each library typically includes a plurality of operations which may be run on the particular class of text. The libraries are recognized at run time of an application, so that additional libraries and operations may be added without a need for recompiling. A single class of text is recognizable in a number of formats without limits as to the origin of the body of text.
