Abstract: A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for automatically initiating an instant messaging (IM) chat session based on a calendar entry. A user's IM client receives instructions to initiate an IM chat session based on a scheduled entry in the calendaring system. These instructions may be received from the user's calendaring system or a continuously running service, such as a daemon, independent of the IM client. Upon receiving the instructions, the IM client may optionally alert the user to the impending chat session. The IM client then presents a chat window for the instant messaging chat session to the user at a time specified in the scheduled entry. Data associated with the scheduled entry in the calendaring system, such as notes or attachments related to the chat session, may also be displayed in the chat window.

Abstract: The Hyperlinked Document Find Tool (“HDFT”) is a tool for recursively searching textual content of a first file and a hyperlinked file embedded in the first file and stored under the same root directory as the first file. The HDFT selects the first file, enters a search term, searches for the search term in the first file, identifies the hyperlinked file embedded in the first file stored under the same root directory as the first file, and searches for the search term in the hyperlinked file.

Abstract: Systems, methods and media for playback of instant messaging session history in an instant messaging system by facilitating recording and playback of an instant messaging session history to a user are disclosed. Embodiments may include, during an instant messaging session where one or more instant messaging events occur, determining a timestamp associated with the one or more instant messaging events and recording an indication of the one or more instant messaging events and their associated timestamps. Embodiments may also include receiving one or more playback commands and, in response to the received playback commands, displaying playback of the one or more instant messaging events based on their associated timestamps. The instant messaging events may include one or more of a text message, file transfer, input device movement, or a status indication such as offline, returned from offline, away, returned from away, secure session established, session beginning or session ending.

Abstract: Systems, methods and media for sharing input device movement information between users of an instant messaging system on a network by facilitating transmission and display to one user input device movement information from another user are disclosed. Embodiments may include receiving tracking information by a first client computer system where the tracking information relates to input device movement associated with a second client computer system. Embodiments may also include determining an equivalent movement based on the received tracking information and displaying the equivalent movement by the first client computer system. Tracking information may include one or more of a beginning or ending point for highlighting, a beginning or ending point for pointer movement, or an indication of velocity or emphasis. Displaying the equivalent movement may include displaying a moving ghost pointer or highlighting at the first client computer system.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling a peer-to-peer, unmoderated conference call, which allows a non-talking conferee to send an in-band interrupt request signal which is detected by the conference bridge, which automatically determines which conferee is currently talking, and continuously sends an alert signal to the talking conferee, but prevents transmission of alert signal and interrupt request signal to all other, non-speaking conferees. When the talking conferee quits talking, or acknowledges the interrupt request, or a timeout occurs, alert signal is discontinued, and the request conferee (or another conferee) may speak. Optionally, after a timeout occurs, the voice of the currently speaking conferee is removed from the conference summation, effectively muting the non-yielding conferee.

Abstract: Checking program elements and program element behaviors for adherence to software development rules. An analysis engine receives a rule assembly containing metadata and intermediate language instructions representing one or more rules. The analysis engine also receives a target assembly containing metadata and intermediate language instructions representing one or more program elements and/or one or more program element behaviors. The analysis engine identifies (e.g., through reflection or retrieval of intermediate language instructions) a program element or program element behavior from the target assembly that is to be checked for adherence to a rule from the rule assembly. The analysis engine applies the rule to the program element or program element behavior to check the program element or program element behavior for adherence to the rule. Results can be stored for later viewing by a programmer.

Abstract: A system for automatically tuning a primary broadcast receiver using a secondary broadcast receiver to receive a first broadcast signal corresponding to a source of an origin program, one or more program transition detectors to monitor first broadcast signal tuned by the secondary broadcast receiver to determine and signal a transition from a non-original program content to origin program content while a user views or hears alternate programming from a primary broadcast receiver, and automatically tuning of the primary broadcast receiver to the first broadcast signal upon detection by the program transition detector that one or more of user-specific tune conditions have been met.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically segmenting content from an instant messaging transcript and applying commands contained within the content segments is disclosed. The system includes a segment finding program, a command finding program, and a command list. The segment finding program identifies topic shifts in the IM conversation. The command finding program searches the identified topic segments for commands. Upon finding a command, the command finding program locates an appropriate action within the command list and executes it after obtaining user permission if so specified. The system works in conjunction with an IM program having functions to allow each user to control the segment finding and command finding programs.

Abstract: Systems and methods for display of chained messages in a single email in different orders allow a user to specify sort criteria to determine the order of display of chained messages. The system includes a message finding program and a message sorting program. The message finding program identifies individual messages within an email and populates a message list with a unique identifier for each message and sorting data contained within each message. The message sorting program receives sorting criteria defined by a user via an email display and sorts the sorting data within the message list pursuant to the sorting criteria. After sorting the message list, the message sorting program provides the email display with the messages in order of their identifiers within the message list for display as a single email in their sorted order.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for automatically detecting display sharing, setting display sharing status, and generating alerts in instant messaging. If the display is shared, the present invention intercepts an instant message before it is displayed and generates alerts to senders. Senders have options to display the message, delete the message, or allow the message to be queued until display is no longer shared. Alternatively, if the sender's instant messaging application supports the functionality, the mechanism of the present invention may present the user with options to display the message or allow the message to be queued until display is no longer shared without sending an alert message. A privacy list of contacts may be automatically built when integrated with a calendar system for controlling instant messaging access and behavior.

Abstract: A Segment Interface Program (SIP) is disclosed that enables a user to choose locations in other applications to receive segments, and to mark segments for manual or automatic transmission to those applications. The SIP comprises an Application Interface Program (AIP), a Segment Creator Program (SCP), a Segment Queue Program (SQP), and a Segment Delivery Program (SDP). The SIP accesses a Rules database, a codes database, and a queue database. The AIP enables a user to select a location in an application and assign an application code and a location code to the location. The SCP enables a user to select a segment in a chat transcript, assign an application code and a location code to the segment, and send the segment to the SQP. The SQP receives the segment, assigns a queue number, and places the segment in a queue table. The SDP reads the user code, the application code and, when the application is active, sends the segment to the location in the application with the corresponding code.
