Patent number: 9477496Abstract: A method and apparatus for loading classes to virtual machines and a method and apparatus for reorganizing class archives. The method for loading a class to a virtual machine includes organizing a class archive before class loading such that the organized class archive includes a class contraction portion and loading only the class contraction portion of the class archive to the virtual machine at the moment of class loading. By first loading the class contraction portion from the organized class archive to the virtual machine at the moment of loading, the present invention curtails code redundancy, shortens loading time and reduces occupied memory resources.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2009Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Chang Yan Chi, Xin Hui Li, Wen Peng Xiao

Patent number: 8694586Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for maintaining corresponding relationships between at least one chat transcript and related chat content in an instant messaging system may include establishing a chat session in the instant messaging system. Corresponding chat content may be displayed synchronously according to a changed address of the chat content. The changed address of the chat content may be inserted into a chat transcript, and the chat transcript may be segmented into at least two segments to create a segmented chat transcript. The segmented chat transcript and corresponding relationship between the changed address of the chat content and corresponding chat transcript segments may be stored.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2009Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Min Yang, Chang Yan Chi, Yu Hang Gao, Wen Peng Xiao

Publication number: 20130179515Abstract: A first message associated with a collaborative task is received from a user. The first message includes an identification of the collaborative task, a plurality of participants for the collaborative task, and a request from the user for each of the participants to provide content for the collaborative task. In response to receiving the first message, a processor generates a request message for each of the participants. Each of the request messages includes a notification of the collaborative task and the request from the user for that participant to provide the content for the collaborative task. The request messages are sent to the participants.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2012Publication date: July 11, 2013Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Chang Yan CHI, Eric M.
