Abstract: An audio/video communication system displays the status of participants in a video chat session. The system includes multiple video chat capable (VCC) information handling systems (IHSs) that display video images of the participants. In this manner, each user may see the user's own video image as well as the video images of other users in the video chat session. When a user speaks, that user's VCC IHS detects audio, thus designating a speaker participant. This user's VCC IHS includes a gaze direction detector that determines at which particular user video image the user gazes, thus determining a target participant. The VCC IHS sends speaker participant ID information and target participant ID information to other VCC IHSs in the video chat session. In response, the other VCC IHSs display an indicator that designates one user video image as the speaker participant and another user video image as the target participant.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure a method and technique for navigating between windows is disclosed. The method includes providing a graphic user interface (GUI) including a plurality of windows ordered along a depth (Z) axis. The method also includes, responsive to receiving a window re-order keystroke input, determining a location of each window relative to a position of a pointer icon in the GUI and setting a window re-ordering sequence for re-ordering a Z-position of the windows in the GUI based at least partly on a location of the windows relative to the position of the pointer icon in the GUI.

Abstract: A method, programmed medium and system are provided for recovering media-stored program code and/or user data when data on the same media are lost or corrupted. The system includes retrieving user data and/or program code from an external source when the actual data/code is not readable. When initiating the load of local storage, an initial scan for damaged regions is performed. If the initial scan determines that there are damaged/bad regions, the media player will look for the necessary data and/or code to patch the digital media. In one embodiment, a hardware or software look-ahead reader function, for example, is enabled to retrieve the original undamaged data/code from the local storage when an attempt to read a region from an optical disk fails due to a bad region. If the region in question is not stored locally, then a request is automatically transmitted to the original data provider to re-send the original data/code, which may include original program code.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method for reconfiguring message permissions based upon a recipient. The method may receive a message. Then, the method may allow the user to set a read permission associated with a region in the message that may allow the region to be displayed only to specified recipients. This method may allow a user to save time by creating only one message that contains different content that is intended for different recipients to view.
