Patent number: 7533097Abstract: In a customizable data migration method and system, when a migration program is launched, it queries a system server for entity-level and user-level policies. The migration program then creates a customized interface to the user, where the entity-level and user-level polices are applied with hierarchical priorities. In this manner, flexibility is provided in the data migration process. The end user is allowed to maintain a personality on a given user system and to transfer this personality along with the company specified data. This increases the uptime of the user by reducing the re-customization time when the user is cascaded to a new user system.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2004Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Abiola O.

Publication number: 20080259095Abstract: A method for changing the display orientation on a monitor of a portable computer after the portable computer has been rotated by a user is disclosed. In response to a detection that the portable computer has been physically rotated, a determination is made whether or not the new physical orientation is unchanged within a predetermined period of time. If the new physical orientation has been changed within the predetermined period of time, the portable computer continues to detect for a physical rotation. If the new physical orientation is unchanged within the predetermined period of time, a display orientation on a monitor of the portable computer is adjusted to accommodate the new physical orientation.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2007Publication date: October 23, 2008Inventors: Justin T.
