  • Publication number: 20060004580
    Abstract: A method, article of manufacture, and apparatus for monitoring a location having a plurality of audio sensors and video sensors are disclosed. In an embodiment, this comprises receiving auditory data, comparing a portion of the auditory data to a lexicon comprising a plurality of keywords to determine if there is a match to a keyword from the lexicon, and if a match is found, selecting at least one video sensor to monitor an area to be monitored. Video data from the video sensor is archived with the auditory data and metadata. The video sensor is selected by determining video sensors associated with the areas to be monitored. A lookup table is used to determine the association. Cartesian coordinates may be used to determine positions of components and their areas of coverage.

  • Publication number: 20060004819
    Abstract: A method, article of manufacture, and apparatus for managing an object are disclosed. In an embodiment, this comprises managing an object having content, in a system having a dynamic policy selector configured with at least one analytic policy applied to evaluate the content of the object. The object is associated to an information management policy. Classification levels may be used, in which classification levels are associated to information management policies and objects are associated with classification levels. Objects containing certain elements or related elements may be associated to form an information group, to which information management policies may be applied as a group. Storage pools may be used for managing objects with similar classification levels or information protection policies.

  • Patent number: 5694541
    Abstract: A console terminal arrangement is disclosed for use in connection with a fault-tolerant computer system including a plurality of processing modules, at least some of the processing modules including an operator input/output interface for receiving operator input from an operator input device and operator display output on an operator display device. The console terminal arrangement facilitates management of all of the processing modules by a single operator from a single location. The arrangement includes a console terminal and a plurality of processing module interfaces interconnected by a network. The console terminal includes an operator input device and an operator display device, and generates operator input messages including processing module management information generated by the operator input device in response to inputs provided by an operator and an address identifying one of the processing modules to be managed by the console terminal.
