Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method of providing context information. Context information is automatically retrieved by monitoring at least one application program executable on a computing system, so as to detect an event associated with the application program, identifying information corresponding to the detected event, and retrieving, automatically without user request, context information associated with the detected event.

Abstract: Providing integrated multi-session instant messaging in a single instant messaging window. A user interface has an instant messaging window for displaying a plurality of conversation panes representative of concurrent instant messaging sessions between a local user and a plurality of remote users. Each conversation pane represents one of the messaging sessions. A plurality of message components correspond to the conversations panes so that each message component corresponds to one conversation pane. Each message component is arranged in the corresponding conversation pane and displays text from an instant message. The conversation display area displays at least two of the conversation panes linearly along the height of the window so that the message components arranged in the at least two conversation panes are simultaneously viewable.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method of collecting information and associated context. Information and associated context are collected by monitoring at least one application program executable using the computing system, so as to detect one or more events associated with the at least one application program; identifying contextual information corresponding to the detected one or more events; and storing information associated with the at least one detected event, the stored information including the identified contextual information.

Abstract: A system and method of collecting information and associated context are provided. Information is retrieved using context information by receiving a search request to identify an information item, the search request including a context comprising circumstantial information related to a previous experience with the information item, and searching at least one data store using the context item, so as to identify the information item associated with the context.
