Abstract: Methods, systems, and media to capture a redialing sequence and to redial a phone or similar device are disclosed. Embodiments may capture a dialing sequence of a caller and provide access to the dialing sequence, or redialing sequence, when the caller desires to re-establish a telephone connection. More specifically, embodiments recognize a significant pause in a dialing sequence by a caller and associate the pause with a line event such as a circuit event or an audible event, or a length of time. Some embodiments comprise resource managers and agents of the resource manager may monitor a line, and identify, interpret, and/or route the line events to an application server to capture a redialing sequence or replay the redialing sequence to re-establish a telephone connection. Other embodiments incorporate security measures to protect private data and error detection to determine when a redialing sequence is invalid.

Abstract: A method of extending telecommunications service, wherein the method is implemented in an extension application server. The extension application server is coupled for data communications to a customer data source and to a telecommunications server. The telecommunications server includes, installed and operating upon the telecommunications server, a multiplicity of telecommunications extension services. The method of extending telecommunications service includes receiving, in the extension application server, from a requesting telecommunications extension service in the telecommunications server, a telecommunications service request; preparing, in dependence upon information from the customer data source, a response to the telecommunications service request; and transmitting the response to the requesting telecommunications extension service.

Abstract: In the processing of wholesale payments over the Internet, a condition manager within the buyer's banking institution will implement a condition manager that has an ability to contact a legacy fraud detection system, which monitors whether the proposed purchase is fraudulent or not. Such legacy fraud detection systems typically are looking for unusual purchasing patterns or other aberrations relative to this particular customer's past buying habits. This system can be implemented with respect to the use of electronic payments when products are purchased by customers over the Internet.

Abstract: The presently contemplated file transfer service, for users of data communication networks like the Internet, operates as agent of respective subscribing clients to retrieve and store data files that clients are unable to instantly download to workstations currently used by them. Files stored by the transfer service are made available to respective clients when the latter are able to receive them. In one application of this, a client is unable to instantly download a large file because the computer workstation the client is then using operates at a low speed unsuited for that purpose. In other applications, the client is unable to download a file because the client's workstation is behind a firewall that effectively blocks that action. In these applications, the transfer service is useful to effectively either circumvent restrictions of the firewall, or to deliver the file to the client at a workstation that is not behind the firewall.

Abstract: A method and system for enhanced locator hit testing and region clipping of windows in a windowing environment of a data processing system is provided. A global hit test data structure is generated having a plurality of compressed scan line data sets that represent scan lines of a display. Each compressed scan line data set contains one or more vectors and a window identifier associated with each vector that describe the window ownership of one or more spans in an associated scan line of the display. A vector identifies a span of the associated scan line, and each window identifier identifies the window that owns the span identified by its associated vector. The enhanced locator hit testing of windows identifies the window that owns a selected pel of the display by accessing the compressed scan line data set that defines the window ownership of the selected pel, determining the vector that contains the selected pel, and retrieving the window identifier associated with the determined vector.

Abstract: A technique is described for maintaining consistent filename conventions between multiple hosts and workstations by providing a table of default parameters for various hosts and workstations and the corresponding filetypes that are accessed to determine the default parameters and filetypes for a given file. A display is also provided to display the name or names of files to be transferred and their destination. The programs which produce these screens also obtain and display default information concerning the files, such as, the file names and the data structures for the files on the destination host computer or workstation. The user can either accept the default information or change it.
