Abstract: An improved method, apparatus, and computer instructions for a mobile device for managing ring tones. A radio frequency transmission is detected from another mobile device. In response to detecting the radio frequency transmission from the other mobile device, a ring tone used by the other mobile device is identified to form an identified ring tone. The current ring tone is selectively changed for the mobile device to an alternate ring tone, depending on the identified ring tone.

Abstract: System, method, and computer program product for monitoring resources capable of being assigned to different partitions of a data processing system from a free resources pool of the data processing system. A free resources event log is associated with the free resources pool for maintaining a log of events for each resource that is in the free resources pool. When a resource is assigned to a partition from the free resources pool, a log of events for the assigned resource is transferred from the free resources event log to an event log associated with the partition.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for delivering an alternate Web page to a browser are provided. The method, system and apparatus include the implementation of indicating Web pages that are not authorized to be displayed by the browser using content filter settings, comparing the content filter settings to content labels incorporated in a requested Web page and delivering an alternate Web page, if there is a match. The filter settings are generated by the browser and sent to a server in a request message. The browser also incorporates a semaphore in the request message. The semaphore is used to indicate whether the comparison should be undertaken. Thus, if the semaphore is absent in the request message, the requested Web page is delivered to the browser as customary.

Abstract: A system and computer program for controlling screen focus for files and applications during presentations provides for protection of information in a computer-generated presentation setting and prevention of interruption of a presentation by unwanted computer activity. A list is built of applications and files for which screen access is permitted during the presentation. Upon an indication that the presentation is active, when an application or file is about to obtain screen focus, the list is checked to determine whether access is permitted for the file or application. If the application or file is should not have the focus, execution of an application or opening of a file is blocked, or screen focus is denied to windows generated in conjunction with application or file. The indication that the presentation is active may be the connection of a particular display type (e.g., a projector) or the use of a certain display port.

Abstract: A method, system, and a computer program product that enables a second window opened on a display screen to “flow” into and fill/occupy all available space within the displayable area of the display screen without overlapping a first window occupying less than the maximum width and/or length of the display area. A window flowing utility enables multiple windows to concurrently coexist and fill the maximum displayable area of the display screen. The window flowing utility determines which areas of the display screen are not currently being utilized by the first window, and allows the second window to occupy all of the available space remaining on the display device surrounding the first window.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing event information in a logical partitioned data processing system. A determination is made as to whether an event for a resource is present in a first event log in a first partition in response to reallocation of the resource from the first partition to a second partition. In response to the event being present, the event is placed in a second event log in the second partition. As a result, analysis of the second event log in the second partition takes into account the event from the first partition.

Abstract: A view controller, such as a scroll bar, for a first application which is currently displayed within an inactive window is detached and remotely displayed within an active window in addition to the view controller associated with the content of that active window. A Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) link is then established between the remotely displayed view controller and the first application such that user inputs to the remotely displayed view controller can be utilized to modify the display of the first application without requiring the user to activate the inactive window. In this manner data within the first application can be scrolled and visually accessed by the user while the user is working within an active window, without requiring the user to toggle the focus back and forth between two windows.

Abstract: The E-mail sender's address book is safeguarded from computer virus intrusion with only minimal interference with normal E-mail distribution from the sender. Complete encryption of the address book create interference with the send function in that before any E-mail function may be started, the address book must be accessed and decrypted even when the E-mail being sent does involve the address book. However, the address book may be safeguarded from the computer virus with minimum E-mail interference if only a part of the address book is encrypted. There is stored the unencrypted data representative of a plurality of aliases for plurality of addressees of electronic mail, and separately stored encrypted data representative of the electronic mail addresses of said plurality of addressees. In response to a request to send electronic mail to one of said aliases, the entry of the key to decrypt the encrypted data is required to thereby provide the address of the addressee having said alias.

Abstract: Advanced computer hibernation functions are useful in saving a user's work environment when a user logs off a computer. The current art requires powering off the computer when entering into hibernation, and only allows a user to store a single non-reusable hibernation file for use in restoring operation when the computer is subsequently powered on. The present invention allows hibernation files to be created and stored without requiring a user to power off the computer to enter hibernation mode. Once the hibernation files are created and stored, a user achieves faster shut down of the computer when the user enters into hibernation mode by selecting from one of the existing hibernation files for advanced hibernation mode. Multiple users are allowed to save multiple work environments or files while maintaining privacy regarding each user's work environments by requiring log on identification passwords for each user.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and computer implemented instructions for mitigating the mobile phone nuisance factor. The present invention causes a mobile phone to activate an “In-Public-Use” profile when in a public establishment, which has a policy for mobile phone usage. A transmitter in the public establishment broadcasts an external control signal that contains an encoded command. The circuitry, or processor instructions, in a mobile phone decodes the command and activates the profile with the identified settings from the command. When the profile is activated, an icon is displayed indicating that the profile is active. Additionally, the “In-Public-Use” profile is deactivated when the mobile phone leaves the range of the signal and the previous settings of the mobile phone are enabled.

Abstract: A method, system and wireless communications device providing location-based control of wireless communications device features provides security and nuisance avoidance for persons or organizations controlling particular areas in which the devices are not desirable for use. The location of the device is determined by triangulation or via communication of location information from the device, such as GPS information. The services provider determines whether or not the devices are within a controlled area for which features of the device are to be disabled, and disables those features if the device is in such a zone. The service provider maintains a database of zone coordinates and feature sets to disable for each zone. Features that may be disabled include: cameras, text messaging, ringers and/or voice communications. The service provider may also entirely disable a device when the device is located within a particular zone.

Abstract: Minimizing the damaging effects of loud music but with minimal reduction in aesthetic quality of the music. When music presented through an audio is sampled in order to determine average frequency, music having very low average frequencies is predictably likely to be played louder than sampled music having higher average frequencies. This unexpected observation is based upon a human factor, i.e. rock and related music that is ordinarily composed and presented at relatively low frequencies, e.g. 500 to 1000 Hz is likely to be played on the audio system at very high volume because of the tastes of its listeners. An audio system for a data processor controlled presentation of music with a set up for minimizing the damaging effects of loud music comprising an implementation for predetermining a minimum average frequency of music being presented in combination with measuring whether the music being presented falls below said minimum average frequency for a sampling period.
