  • Patent number: 9165283
    Abstract: Embodiments include a system for providing an identification of a collaborative task. The system may include a communication unit and a processing unit. The communication unit may be configured to receive a request of a user to create the collaborative task and send task metadata to a further system. The processing unit may be configured to generate the task metadata. The task metadata may be a part of the collaborative task and identifying the collaborative task as a part of a process.

  • Patent number: 8261185
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for constructing linear representations of content based networks. The methods comprise receiving a sub-network of a content based network comprising a plurality of fragments connected by one or more links, calculating fragment weight for at least some of the plurality of fragments, calculating link weight for at least one of the one or more links, creating a hierarchical structure from the sub-network, based on at least some of the calculated fragment weights and at least some of the calculated link weights, and converting the hierarchical structure to a linear representation. The linear representation may be augmented by additional overview information such as table of contents and index, which may be automatically generated.

  • Patent number: 7827502
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for accessing data objects from a storage medium includes rendering a combination of graphical structures. Each graphical structure depicts a storage hierarchy or logic, and can include a link or reference to stored data objects. The combination of graphical structures defines a number of graphical objects. Each graphical object is associated with a coordinate display and linking mechanism to access one or more data objects represented by the graphical object. Thus, a number of collections of data objects is represented graphically for quick access.

  • Publication number: 20090216792
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods that operate to automatically extract metadata from information objects are disclosed. Activities may include displaying a journal comprising a plurality of consolidated items, wherein at least some of the plurality of consolidated items have been created based on detecting a first pre-selected operation associated with an information object, and automatically extracting ontology-based metadata related to the first pre-selected operation and native to the information object. Further activities may include modifying an item model ontology including the ontology-based metadata responsive to at least one of user interactions with the journal or automatic creation of a new list item, wherein the new list item is created automatically based on detecting a second pre-selected operation associated with the information object. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7555449
    Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for automatically updating individual conditions associated with a pending conditional financial transaction. As the price of a financial instrument varies, a pending conditional financial transaction may be issued to cause the financial instrument to be bought or sold whenever its price satisfies certain specified conditions. In the field of common stock transactions, the disclosed method automatically updates a pending conditional sell order, called a stop loss order, upon the occurrence of several conditions, such as when the current stop loss order has expired, when the current price of one share of the stock has risen a predetermined percentage above the current stop loss value, or when the total value of all of the shares of the stock has increased beyond a predetermined percentage limit. When a stop loss order is updated, a new stop loss value is calculated based upon the current price and a percentage leeway in the price.

  • Publication number: 20060224998
    Abstract: An information access system and method are disclosed. A system includes a user input device and a graphical user interface responsive to commands from the user input device. A plurality of graphical structures are displayed in the graphical user interface. Each graphical structure is defined by three or more spatial dimensions, the intersection of which defines a segment. Each segment represents a defined group of information associated with the intersection of dimensions. Each group can be created manually, or defined algorithmically. The system further includes one or more controls displayed in the graphical user interface, responsive to the commands generated from the user input device, and configured for graphically manipulating selected segments of the one or more graphical structures.
