Patent number: 7970774Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method, system, and storage medium for providing web-based electronic research and presentation functions via a document creation application. The method includes scanning an active document on a computer to identify relevant keywords, searching a database for reference materials relating to the relevant keywords, and displaying relevant reference materials on the computer. The method further includes deploying process software for providing the web-based electronic research and presentation functions via a document creation application. The deployment includes installing the process software on a server, identifying server addresses for users accessing the process software on the server, sending the process software to the server and copying the process software to a file system of the server. The deployment also includes sending the process software to a client computer and executing the process software on the client computer.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2008Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Edward E. Kelley, Tijs Y. Wilbrink, Ellis Zijlstra

Patent number: 7970775Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method and storage medium for providing web-based electronic research and presentation functions via a document creation application. The method includes scanning an active document on a computer to identify relevant keywords, searching a database for reference materials relating to the relevant keywords, and displaying relevant reference materials on the computer. The method further includes on-demand sharing of process software for providing the electronic research and presentation functions via the document creation application. The on-demand sharing includes creating a transaction containing unique customer identification, requested service type, and service parameters; sending the transaction to a server; querying the server about processing capacity associated with the server to help ensure availability of adequate resources for processing the transaction; and allocating additional processing capacity when needed to process the transaction.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2008Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Edward E. Kelley, Tijs Y. Wilbrink, Ellis Zijlstra

Patent number: 7949664Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method and storage medium for providing web-based electronic research and presentation. The method includes scanning an active document on a computer to identify relevant keywords, searching a database for reference materials relating to the relevant keywords, and displaying relevant reference materials on the computer. The method also includes integrating process software for providing the web-based electronic research and presentation functions via a document creation application. The integration includes determining if the process software will execute on a server, identifying an address of the server, checking the server for operating systems, applications, and version numbers for validation with the process software, and identifying any missing applications required for integration.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2008Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Edward E.

Patent number: 7921122Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method, system, and storage medium for providing web-based electronic research and presentation functions via a document creation application. The method comprises scanning an active document on a computer device for identifying relevant keywords, and searching at least one database for reference materials relating to the relevant keywords. The active document includes data currently being entered or edited by a user on the computer device. Results relevant to the active document are automatically shown on the computer screen. The method also includes converting the reference materials if they are in a format different from the format used in creating the active document, and displaying the converted reference materials on the computer device. Embodiments of the invention also include a system and a storage medium.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2008Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Edward E. Kelley, Tijs Y. Wilbrink, Ellis Zijlstra

Patent number: 7844998Abstract: A software application and corresponding architecture to implement the application that dynamically updates the access control list and keeps track of the distribution routes of a document in a repository where the document is built and accessed through usage of a common email system. The access control list and distribution routes are built by tracking recipients of the email message linked to the document. Some recipients can be disabled by the originator from forwarding the referenced databases within the emailed document, while others may designate further transmissions to selected persons or groups.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2008Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Edward E. Kelley, Tijs Y. Wilbrink, Ellis Zijlstra
