Abstract: A system is provided to assist a user in selecting, identifying, and handling email messages. A selection color module may provide for the display of color coding and selection highlighting. The selection color module may provide a secondary highlighting color to indicate messages related to a selected message. A category navigation module may provide one or more of the following: an indicator that provides the user with a number of items that are off the screen for a particular category, a command that causes the first entry for a category to be scrolled into view, a label to indicate the number of items in a particular category matching a particular criteria, and/or a control for scrolling between next or previous categories.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for enabling a user to search for documents that the user has previously viewed on its local machine. The system includes three main components: the desktop integration module, the index module, and the graphical user interface module. The desktop integration module is an application which monitors documents with which the user interacts for predetermined events, and obtains content data and metadata from the monitored documents. The index module indexes the content data and metadata received from the desktop integration module. The graphical user interface module then permits a user to utilize the desktop integration module and index module by allowing a user to search for a document.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to relationship-based information management and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for context browser based navigation of pivotally related information for a document. In one embodiment of the invention a context browser-based information management data processing system can be configured for navigation of pivotally related information for a document. The system can include an activity-centric collaboration tool configured for managing activity objects in an activity-centric collaborative computing environment. The system further can include a relationship model for selected ones of the activity objects, the model defining direct relationships between individual ones of the activity objects. Additionally, the system can include a relationship browser.

Abstract: A method is provided for enabling a user to search for documents that the user has previously viewed on its local machine. The documents with which the user interacts are monitored for predetermined events, and content data and metadata from the monitored documents is obtained. An index that includes parameters determined from the content data and metadata is created and a search of the index is performed to retrieve documents that the user has previously viewed.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing, searching and viewing demographic data within different geographic regions. A system is provided that includes: a mapping system for displaying a map having a plurality of geographic regions, wherein each geographic region is selectable; a demographic system for displaying demographic statistics for a selected geographic region; a matching system for calculating and displaying a set of similar geographic regions that have demographic statistics that most closely match the selected geographic region; and an adjustment system that allows a user to adjust a target value for the demographic statistics being display, wherein an adjustment to the target causes the matching system to recalculate the set of similar geographic regions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for enabling and rendering business components in an interactive data visualization tool. A method in accordance with the present invention includes: importing a data set into a CBM visualization tool, the data set providing content and attributes related to the components; generating and displaying a CBM map based on the content, the CBM map displaying a plurality of the components; selecting at least one of the attributes via a user interface (UI); and dynamically displaying information regarding each selected attribute on corresponding components of the CBM map.

Abstract: Under the present invention, an image is progressively blurred to yield a set of (progressive) scaling levels. Once blurred, the edges of the image are detected so that each image segment can be identified on each scaling level. Once the segments are identified, like segments (i.e., segments having a like edge/Gaussian operator) on successive scaling levels are linked to yield a lattice structure that represents the perceptual organization of the image.
