Abstract: A Privacy Controlled Social Network including a first device that shares content with a second device through at least one network, where content is “encoded” or “locked” at the first device by applying a locking code. In embodiments, the locked content that is shared may include media that is locked by applying the locking code at the first device. The locked content may be shared with the second device and include a message or caption that is not locked and viewable by the recipient user of the second device. The locked content may be unlocked by providing the appropriate code to a user interface to unlock the content for the user of the second device. A lock/unlock scheme using input related to a display of an item associated with the content to lock/unlock the content may utilize gestures on a touch screen displaying the item as the lock/unlock code.

Abstract: A method of converting a source color map from a source print mode to a destination print mode comprises the steps of performing a constant hue clipping process to preserve ink ratios of destination colors to source colors and performing a channel independent clipping process to preserve ink volume.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for application management in a multiuser networked data processing environment are implemented. An application definition is generated for each application available to users on the network. Each application definition includes a plurality of application parameters, the values of which may be set by a system administrator. Application definitions are stored in a database on a domain controller. A subset of application parameters are user overridable. Each application definition may be associated with at least one user by a system administrator, whereby the corresponding application is made available to each such user. User overridable parameters may be assigned user specific values, which may be different for each user associated with the application definition. These are also stored in the domain controller database with the user associations.
