  • Patent number: 9720737
    Abstract: A computer system displays a user interface display with a user input mechanism that can be actuated in order to identify a set of resources, and corresponding capacities. A team configuration is stored in memory and reflects the configuration of the resources and corresponding capacities that were identified. A task dependency structure is obtained, and is indicative of an underlying project. Resources from the stored team configuration, and corresponding capacities, are assigned to the tasks in the task dependency structure and the team configuration is updated, in memory, to reflect the assignments. A display is generated that shows the state of the underlying memory, and that is indicative of a remaining capacity and a consumed capacity.

  • Publication number: 20170169111
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with search query task management for search system tuning are described. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving interaction data that describes an interaction with a search system. The search system includes a search engine configured to process search queries to return results that include a ranked set of documents that are relevant to respective search queries. A search query to be used as a basis for search engine tuning is identified based on at least the interaction data. Request data describing a tuning request for the identified search query is transmitted to a search query tuning system. In response to the tuning request for the identified search query, the search query tuning system adds the identified search query to a set of search queries that are candidates for use as a basis for search engine tuning.

  • Publication number: 20140089431
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an instant messaging method, terminal, server and system. The method includes: a first instant messaging terminal transmitting a transfer request to a second instant messaging terminal, both terminals logged into the same instant messaging account; the second instant messaging terminal responding to the transfer request, transmitting a reply command accepting the transfer; after receiving the reply command, the first instant messaging terminal obtaining information of the current instant messaging session and transmitting the information to the second instant messaging terminal; the second instant messaging terminal setting an instant messaging session based on the received information. The present disclosure can facilitate effective transfer of an instant messaging session, thus allowing a user to easily continue the previous instant messaging session after switching to a different terminal.
