Patent number: 7099914Abstract: A user desiring to retrieve any multimedia document (such as image, sound, audio, video, text) is provided the ability to select the size of the document desired. The HTTP protocol HEAD method is used for extracting content length and content type from the server. Whether the client browser requests the document or not is based on the content length and content type sent in the header served to the browser by the server and the minimum or maximum size selected by the user for the relevant type. If the content size is not within the parameters defined by the user, the document will not be requested or served on the network.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1999Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Richard G.

Patent number: 7089305Abstract: A method and system for organizing bookmarks. A bookmark structure includes a main bookmark list and at least one bookmark folder. A bookmark search list, which includes at least one bookmark in the bookmark structure, is generated. Software is executed, wherein the software searches each bookmark on the bookmark search list through depth N (N?0). The searching determines whether the bookmark satisfies an upgrade condition. The upgrade condition includes a boolean text expression and may also include at least one of: a client visitation condition, a general visitation condition, a bookmark existence condition, a content-type condition, a URL-age condition, and a Top-Level-Domain (TLD) condition. If the searching determines that the bookmark satisfies the upgrade condition and that the bookmark is not in the special bookmark location, then the bookmark is moved to the special bookmark location.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2001Date of Patent: August 8, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Cary L.

Patent number: 6748468Abstract: A Caps Lock notification method, system, mechanism, algorithm, and computer program product. A determination is made as to whether a Caps Lock key of a computer keyboard is in an error state, based on ascertaining whether a first condition has been satisfied. If it is so determined that the Caps Lock key is in an error state, then a signal is generated to communicate to a user at the computer keyboard that the Caps Lock key is in the error state. The signal may be a visual signal, an audible signal, a tactile signal, an auditory signal, or a combination thereof. Satisfaction of a second condition may be used to disable the signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2002Date of Patent: June 8, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Cary L.
