Abstract: The invention can enable monitoring of the display of content by a computer system. Moreover, the invention can enable monitoring of the displayed content to produce monitoring information from which conclusions may be deduced regarding the observation of the displayed content by an observer. The invention can also enable monitoring of the display at a content display site of content that is provided by a content provider site over a network to the content display site. Additionally, the invention can enable the expeditious provision of updated and/or tailored content over a network from a content provider site to a content display site so that the content provider's current and appropriately tailored content is always displayed at the content display site. Aspects of the invention related to transfer of content over a network are generally applicable to any type of network.

Abstract: A printing system which allow an administrator to change the settings of client apparatuses concerning the apparatus configuration of a printer, on his/her own initiative. Apparatus configuration information on the printer is acquired from the printer by a server apparatus via the network. The acquired apparatus configuration information on the printer is coupled to driver data, and the driver data having the apparatus configuration information on the printer coupled thereto is installed in the client apparatuses in response to an installation instruction from a user without waiting for an installation request to be received from any of the client apparatuses via the network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for use in connection with the trusted transmission and reception of content, such as encryption key information, from one computing device in a network to a second computing device are provided. In one embodiment, the invention provides a way to trust or validate the transfer of a public key using a very short code entered out of band of the network that is easy for end-users to remember, or write down.

Abstract: Methods, computer programs, and apparatus for performing format conversion of a file attached to an electronic message. A message entered by a user is accepted. The user's selection of a file is also accepted, and the file is copied for accompanying the message as a file attachment. The file attachment is in a first file format of a file category. The file attachment is converted from the first file format to a second file format of the file category. The message entered by the user is transmitted, and the transmitted message is accompanied by the converted file attachment in the second file format of the file category.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for efficiently distributing and remotely managing meeting presentations. Participants download presentation documents to local storage ahead of time. The presentation then runs in an environment that allows the meeting host to send events to the participants to remotely manage the meeting. In one preferred embodiment, the participants are allowed to control the meeting events locally and a status is transmitted back to the host. The host may then view the status of each of the participants to help control progress through the meeting.

Abstract: In-band firmware executes instructions which cause commands to be sent on a coherency fabric. Fabric snoop logic monitors the coherency fabric for command packets that target a resource in one of the support chips attached via an FSI link. Conversion logic converts the information from the fabric packet into an FSI protocol. An FSI command is transmitted via the FSI transmit link to an FSI slave of the intended support chip. An FSI receive link receives response data from the FSI slave of the intended support chip. Conversion logic converts the information from the support chip received via the FSI receive link into the fabric protocol. Response packet generation logic generates the fabric response packet and returns it on the coherency fabric. An identical FSI link between a support processor and support chips allows direct access to the same resources on the support chips by out-of-band firmware.
