  • Patent number: 8972386
    Abstract: A computer system executes an instant message session in a host message program of a first collaborative tool between users. The computer system executes the instant message session in a participant message program of a second collaborative tool. The computer system further receives a first request from the users to automatically or manually route the instant messages of the instant message session from the host message program of a mobile message program of a third collaborative tool. The computer system further transmits the instant messages from the host message program to the mobile message program based on conditions. The computer system further receives a second request from the mobile message program to route the instant message of the instant message session from the mobile device. The computer system transmits the instant message session based on the second request.

  • Publication number: 20130275685
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for pre-caching information in a database management system. Usage patterns of the database are analyzed to identify regularly recurring requests for information stored in the database. Based on the analyzed usage patterns, a pre-caching strategy is determined. The pre-caching strategy identifies information in the database that is likely to satisfy an anticipated future request. Prior to a time at which the future request is anticipated to be received, a cache in the database is populated with information that satisfies the anticipated future request in accordance with the determined pre-caching strategy. The information that populates the cache is retrieved from a storage medium that is slower to access than the cache.
