  • Patent number: 8943147
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a plurality of respective context keywords are stored to a plurality of contexts, wherein each of the plurality of respective context keywords is different. In response to sending of a first plurality of instant messages from an electronic device, a first context is selected at the electronic device from among the plurality of contexts. A first context keyword of the plurality of respective context keywords that matches respective first terms in the first plurality of instant messages is stored in the first context. The first plurality of instant messages are stored to a first chat session in the first context that was selected by the selecting. The first context that comprises the first plurality of instant messages and the first context keyword is sent to a recipient device.

  • Publication number: 20120324396
    Abstract: Techniques are described for allowing a user to designate one of the windows on a display device (e.g., computer monitor) as a model window. Doing so permits the user to transfer the settings of an attribute (e.g., a font, color scheme, security setting, display of a toolbar, a user-defined attribute etc.) associated with the model window to another window located on the display device once the user moves the model window within a certain distance of the other window. The settings of the attributes of the model window are then transferred to the attributes of the other window. Moreover, the assigned settings may be rolled back after a specified amount of time has elapsed. The window whose attributes were changed may then revert back to either default settings or the settings before the attributes were changed to the attribute settings of the model window.

  • Patent number: 7685604
    Abstract: A method for capturing and converting legacy applications into a Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) model supporting a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), the method comprising: starting a recorder for recording the legacy applications; mapping the plurality of variables of the legacy applications to a plurality of fields and to a plurality of sub-fields of the BPEL model; highlighting and identifying the plurality of fields and the plurality of sub-fields; identifying and generating partner links; identifying additional input variables of the legacy applications; mapping the additional input variables of the legacy applications to arbitrary variables; repeating the previous steps until an end result is generated; and ending the recorder.
