Patent number: 6820084Abstract: A user-centered push system monitors user activity to build a dynamic model representing probable user interests. The model is used to drive a search for information relevant to these interests. Such information, when located, is pushed to the user. In a specific embodiment, the information is scrolled across a ticker-tape display along the bottom of the user's monitor. Typically, headline and stock quote type information in abbreviated form is scrolled. By clicking on a ticker-displayed abbreviated item, the user initiates a display of a more complete version of the information. In one embodiment, the invention defines a method using a dynamic user model to locate and push information to a client for display. Alternatively a client reformats the information and archives it for later use. In another embodiment, changes in the dynamic model trigger the information pushing.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2001Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert Carl Barrett, Paul Philip Maglio, George Milton Underwood, IV

Patent number: 6581059Abstract: A method and system provides a structured and accessible information repository for an entities personal information. An information server contains a personal information database and a set of information preferences associated with the personal information database. The personal information database contains personal information about an entity, such as name, phone number, address, etc. The information preferences define an entities preferences regarding the conditions of use under which the personal information will be released. When another computer or user of another computer, a requestor, requests personal information from the information server, the requestor then identifies the information it is requesting and provides the conditions under which the information is to be used. The received conditions of use are compared to the set of information preferences to determine if the received conditions of use are acceptable.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2000Date of Patent: June 17, 2003Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert Carl Barrett, Paul Philip Maglio

Patent number: 6549933Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for managing information through the use of physical objects. An Informative Thing that is a physical object stores a pointer thereon, and the pointer is used to retrieve information associated with the Informative Thing from a network-based system. The Informative Thing provides a user interface that gives the impression of storing information on the physical object, when, in reality, the system stores the information in the network. By hiding the details of information retrieval, information management is greatly simplified. By linking the physical and virtual worlds, users' highly-developed ability to work in the real world is leveraged.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 1998Date of Patent: April 15, 2003Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert Carl Barrett, Paul P.

Patent number: 6462904Abstract: A track following servo system is disclosed for use with magnetic tape systems in which magnetic servo track patterns contain transitions recorded at more than on azimuthal orientation across the width of the servo track. The timing of a signal derived from reading at any point across the width of such a pattern varies continuously as the read head is moved across the servo track. The pattern is read by a servo read head whose width is small compared to the servo track pattern. The combination of a wide servo pattern and a narrow servo read head offers excellent position sensing linearity and dynamic range. In the preferred embodiment, the servo read head is also narrow with respect to the data tracks, which provides the additional advantages of superior immunity to position sensing errors caused by defects or temporal variations in the servo read head, defects in the servo pattern on the tape, wear of the head or tape, or debris collection on the head or tape.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2000Date of Patent: October 8, 2002Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas Robert Albrecht, Robert Carl Barrett, James Howard Eaton

Patent number: 6400381Abstract: A system and method for promoting social interaction among computer users displaying similar historical activities on the World Wide Web, based not on a single document access or on a predefined grouping, but on the activities of the users. A history of a group of documents accessed, or a pattern of document access, or the frequency of terms in queries, are gathered and communicated to a place server module. When the histories of two or more computers match each other in accordance with match criteria, a communication group is established by the place server module and communicated to a chat server. The chat server then automatically establishes a chat room for members of the communication group. Each client computer displays a chat window including moving icons representing other members of the group.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 1999Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert Carl Barrett, Paul Philip Maglio
