Abstract: Potential clues are identified from an unstructured data source. The potential clues are each associated with one or more contexts. A first set of potential contexts for the unstructured data source are determined based on the potential clues. A confidence value for each potential context in the set of the potential contexts is calculated based on the potential clues. A second set of potential contexts is returned from the first set of potential contexts.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus enable calibration of a display for a particular user thereof. An image displayed such as by an interactive system is adjusted based on physical attributes associated with the user or other characteristics of the user in order to customize the image being displayed. For some embodiments, change to the image includes dynamically resizing and/or repositioning a projected display based on the size and reach of the user to make items shown in the display such as menus or hyperlinks more easily accessible to the user. Input from a camera of the interactive system can be utilized to detect the attribute such as a height of the user for correlation to a typical reach of the user. In operation, the interactive system can therefore dynamically adapt to each unique user as different users approach and interact with the interactive system by automatic calibration of the image being displayed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for selectively downloading components over the World-Wide-Web is provided. The preferred embodiment uses a download selection mechanism to display a download selection list to a web browser user. The list allows web user to decide which components to download and which to not download, thereby giving the web user more control over the speed of their Internet accesses. The preferred method produces a table or chart of components and allows the web user to select which components are downloaded.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for facilitating the contextual translation of textual entries within an interactive software application which is executable within a data processing system. A contextual translation procedure is created and inserted into a selected interactive software application. During execution of the selected interactive software application, display screens containing textual entries are typically generated. Upon encountering a screen requiring translation an operator may invoke the contextual translation procedure, causing a translation viewport to be displayed. Individual translate phrases within the display screen are then selected and displayed within the translation viewport. A contextual translation may then be entered into the translation viewport by a translator and displayed therein in proximity to the selected translatable phrase.
