Abstract: Mechanisms, in a data processing system, for generating a reminder notification are provided. The physical presence of another device within a physical local range of a wireless communication device is detected. An identity associated with the other device is determined and a determination is made as to whether a reminder record is stored in association with the identity associated with the other device. In response to a reminder record being stored in association with the identity associated with the other device, a reminder notification is generated and output on the wireless communication device based on content of the reminder record.

Abstract: Methods, computer program products and systems for facilitating computer-assisted user comprehension of digitally encoded texts. In one embodiment of the present invention, the user is provided with the ability to perform multiple searches with different dictionaries or search engines, according to the user's needs. The user has the option of marking the words (or sentences) with several different symbols or colors or text highlighting and associating each of these marking to a specific dictionary or search engine. Searches of each of the selected text portions is performed within the associated dictionary databases, and the user is provided with the results of the searches for facilitating comprehension of the text.
