Abstract: An improved method, apparatus, and computer instructions for a mobile device for managing ring tones. A radio frequency transmission is detected from another mobile device. In response to detecting the radio frequency transmission from the other mobile device, a ring tone used by the other mobile device is identified to form an identified ring tone. The current ring tone is selectively changed for the mobile device to an alternate ring tone, depending on the identified ring tone.

Abstract: System, method, and computer program product for monitoring resources capable of being assigned to different partitions of a data processing system from a free resources pool of the data processing system. A free resources event log is associated with the free resources pool for maintaining a log of events for each resource that is in the free resources pool. When a resource is assigned to a partition from the free resources pool, a log of events for the assigned resource is transferred from the free resources event log to an event log associated with the partition.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for delivering an alternate Web page to a browser are provided. The method, system and apparatus include the implementation of indicating Web pages that are not authorized to be displayed by the browser using content filter settings, comparing the content filter settings to content labels incorporated in a requested Web page and delivering an alternate Web page, if there is a match. The filter settings are generated by the browser and sent to a server in a request message. The browser also incorporates a semaphore in the request message. The semaphore is used to indicate whether the comparison should be undertaken. Thus, if the semaphore is absent in the request message, the requested Web page is delivered to the browser as customary.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of highlighting links that are not clearly identifiable in a Web document are provided. When the document is displayed, if the links are not clearly recognizable as such, the user may depress a button. Upon depressing the button, all the links embedded in the document will be highlighted. Here, highlighted is used to mean any manner that may be used to make the links clearly recognizable as such.

Abstract: A user at a receiving Web station is provided with several alternate Web page display interface formats, from which the user may select the appropriate format for each Web document that he bookmarks. Thus, each time that a bookmarked Web document will be displayed subsequently, it will have this optimum presentation interface format. The implementation comprises bookmarking a received Web document, predetermining at least one display interface format alternate to said standard display interface format for bookmarked Web documents, providing a document folder associated with each alternate display interface format, enabling a user to put a bookmarked Web document into a document folder associated with an alternate display interface format and displaying bookmarked documents in said document folder in said alternate display interface format.

Abstract: A method of enabling a user to manage items such as text, graphics image, audio clips, video clips etc. on a clipboard are provided. The method includes displaying a window having at least one option for managing the items on the clipboard and allowing the user to assert the option to manage the items. In another embodiment, a method is provided to indicate a selected item at a location in a document displayed in a graphical user interface with a scrollbar. The method includes selecting the item, determining whether the item is a file, and displaying, if the item is a file, an icon representing the file in the scrollbar at a location corresponding to the location of the highlighted item.

Abstract: A method, system, and a computer program product that enables a second window opened on a display screen to “flow” into and fill/occupy all available space within the displayable area of the display screen without overlapping a first window occupying less than the maximum width and/or length of the display area. A window flowing utility enables multiple windows to concurrently coexist and fill the maximum displayable area of the display screen. The window flowing utility determines which areas of the display screen are not currently being utilized by the first window, and allows the second window to occupy all of the available space remaining on the display device surrounding the first window.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing event information in a logical partitioned data processing system. A determination is made as to whether an event for a resource is present in a first event log in a first partition in response to reallocation of the resource from the first partition to a second partition. In response to the event being present, the event is placed in a second event log in the second partition. As a result, analysis of the second event log in the second partition takes into account the event from the first partition.

Abstract: A view controller, such as a scroll bar, for a first application which is currently displayed within an inactive window is detached and remotely displayed within an active window in addition to the view controller associated with the content of that active window. A Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) link is then established between the remotely displayed view controller and the first application such that user inputs to the remotely displayed view controller can be utilized to modify the display of the first application without requiring the user to activate the inactive window. In this manner data within the first application can be scrolled and visually accessed by the user while the user is working within an active window, without requiring the user to toggle the focus back and forth between two windows.

Abstract: The E-mail sender's address book is safeguarded from computer virus intrusion with only minimal interference with normal E-mail distribution from the sender. Complete encryption of the address book create interference with the send function in that before any E-mail function may be started, the address book must be accessed and decrypted even when the E-mail being sent does involve the address book. However, the address book may be safeguarded from the computer virus with minimum E-mail interference if only a part of the address book is encrypted. There is stored the unencrypted data representative of a plurality of aliases for plurality of addressees of electronic mail, and separately stored encrypted data representative of the electronic mail addresses of said plurality of addressees. In response to a request to send electronic mail to one of said aliases, the entry of the key to decrypt the encrypted data is required to thereby provide the address of the addressee having said alias.

Abstract: Advanced computer hibernation functions are useful in saving a user's work environment when a user logs off a computer. The current art requires powering off the computer when entering into hibernation, and only allows a user to store a single non-reusable hibernation file for use in restoring operation when the computer is subsequently powered on. The present invention allows hibernation files to be created and stored without requiring a user to power off the computer to enter hibernation mode. Once the hibernation files are created and stored, a user achieves faster shut down of the computer when the user enters into hibernation mode by selecting from one of the existing hibernation files for advanced hibernation mode. Multiple users are allowed to save multiple work environments or files while maintaining privacy regarding each user's work environments by requiring log on identification passwords for each user.

Abstract: Minimizing the damaging effects of loud music but with minimal reduction in aesthetic quality of the music. When music presented through an audio is sampled in order to determine average frequency, music having very low average frequencies is predictably likely to be played louder than sampled music having higher average frequencies. This unexpected observation is based upon a human factor, i.e. rock and related music that is ordinarily composed and presented at relatively low frequencies, e.g. 500 to 1000 Hz is likely to be played on the audio system at very high volume because of the tastes of its listeners. An audio system for a data processor controlled presentation of music with a set up for minimizing the damaging effects of loud music comprising an implementation for predetermining a minimum average frequency of music being presented in combination with measuring whether the music being presented falls below said minimum average frequency for a sampling period.
