  • Patent number: 9479389
    Abstract: Included are method, article of manufacture, and device that serve to identify the status of a network resource along with whether the network resource is a self-managing resource. When autonomic management capabilities are identified, an autonomic management rule for management of the network resource may be generated and sent, over a network, for receipt and use by the identified self-managing resource.

  • Patent number: 8266630
    Abstract: Delegation of processing functions to specialized appliances in an enterprise is provided. An appliance typically comprises a combination of hardware and resident firmware that addresses needs in a computing environment, such as by providing common message transformation, integration, security, filtering and other functions. Delegation is carried out by specifying at least one XML function for front-process offloading from a server to a corresponding appliance configured to receive messages pushed towards the server, communicating management directives to the appliance for configuring the appliance to perform the specified XML function(s) according to specific requirements dynamically specified by the server and communicating instructions to the appliance so that the appliance augments received event messages with intermediate processing information based upon the front-process offloading, as received event messages pass through the appliance.

  • Patent number: 7043700
    Abstract: A computer system preferably a mobile client computer, optimizes data handling and display through the use of predictive widgets. A predictive widget uses a predictive list of possible entries into a defined field of a form, as in a form filling application, to provide one or both of a predictive default entry for a field or a predictive fill once a user has started an entry into the field.

  • Patent number: 6049812
    Abstract: A network browser is provided with working list maintenance and creation facility which contains an indicator for each URL's listing duration level of permanence for controlling how long a URL will be kept or maintained in the working list and also includes an activity duration permanence level indicator for controlling how long the URL will be kept active. This enables the browser to maintain multiple, concurrently active URLs and thereby enable the browser to provide the functional emulation of a desktop working environment to the user.

  • Patent number: 5905486
    Abstract: The present invention contemplates a display generating system, preferably a computer such as a mobile client system, in which text entry to supply data for a defined field in a form or the like is facilitated. In particular, the present invention contemplates combining certain functions heretofore separated in a display which accepts data entry such as letters or numbers entered by hand using a stylus or the like. In a system implementing this invention, the functions of providing a cursor which indicates the location for data entry and providing a field displaying or receiving data entry are combined. By this combination, the field receiving or displaying an entry is positioned immediately adjacent the displayed field for such entry, permitting a user to focus attention on a single location in the display as distinguished from dividing attention between a location at which a cursor prompts for data to appear and a separated field at which the entry is entered or displayed.

  • Patent number: 5818446
    Abstract: The computer is enhanced to include software processes for detecting the contents of data to be displayed and, responsive thereto, for changing the user interface selected for display and use. These processes determine which of a plurality of possible user interfaces shall be loaded into the computer memory for employment on the display for user interaction therewith so that, for example, functionally rich user interfaces will be employed for adult use of a given data load, but simplified user interfaces may be employed for the same data when a child desires to use the system. The entire user interface is changed based on data type or content as compared with a register of desired user interfaces for differing types or contents of data to be displayed.

  • Patent number: 5805158
    Abstract: A computer system, preferably a mobile client computer, optimizes data handling and display through the use of predictive widgets. A predictive widget uses a predictive list of possible entries into a defined field of a form, as in a form filling application, to provide one or both of a predictive default entry for a field or a predictive fill once a user has started an entry into the field. Predictive lists are shared and copied between and among a plurality of communicating computer systems.
