Abstract: A computer-implementable method, system, and computer-readable medium for binding an image descriptor of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) widget to a text field are presented. The method includes associating an image descriptor, of the GUI widget, with a content of an active field in the text field, wherein the image descriptor of the GUI widget and the content of the active field in the text field are substantially similar. In response to the image descriptor of the GUI widget changing, the content of the active field in the text field is modified to represent the changed image descriptor of the GUI widget.

Abstract: A software debugger is enabled and runs in the background for debugging a computer software program. The target criteria for one or more Key Performance Indicators of interest relating to the program performance are established before the program begins its execution. During execution, the debugger is activated and takes control of the program execution if a Key Performance Indicator meets its established criteria. The execution of the program is paused, and the program enters a debug mode during which an execution state of the program in system memory could be examined and modified. The debugger also provides functions for controlled execution like single-stepping, forwarding and rewinding. A user interface coupled to the debugger allows a user to interact with the debugger and control program execution.

Abstract: A monitoring tool continuously monitors for insertion, call or deletion of objects from a session. Display of this information shows any get object, set object or remove object operations in the session and shows the entry and exit points for each such object, thus assisting the user whenever objects inserted or called remain in the session and are not removed, thus allowing the user to prevent any data buildup in the session. The display is performed in a navigational view or “state diagram” form of view which is constructed by polling the filesystem content and building a navigational view of the overall states and interactions occurring within the session.

Abstract: An approach is provided that receives a message from a first user. The first user's message requests a license to a licensed product that has previously been purchased by the organization. The system identifies current users in the organization that currently have licenses to the licensed product. A need score is calculated that reflects a needs analysis of the first user to the licensed product. Current user need scores are calculated and these need scores correspond to the needs of the current users pertaining to the licensed product. The first user's need score is compared to the current user product need scores and a second user is selected based on the comparison where the first user's need score is better than the second user need score. The second user's license to the licensed product is revoked and the first user is granted a license to the licensed product.

Abstract: The present invention utilizes radio-frequency identification (“RFID”), which consume a small amount of energy, to allow two transceivers with frequency hopping spread spectrum units to discover each other. A first transceiver may, for example, have a first energy capacity, an RFID transceiver, and a first frequency hopping spread spectrum unit. A second transceiver with a lower energy capacity would then have an active RFID tag and a second frequency hopping spread spectrum unit.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for providing popular routes via a global positioning satellite (GPS) system. A GPS device receives a route request from a user. The GPS device then determines a current location of the GPS device and connects to a network server. In response to connecting to the network server, the GPS device transmits a route selection request to the network server. In response, the GPS device receives a route selection list from the network server where the route selection list contains a plurality of routes previously taken by other drivers. Each route is assigned a popularity rating. The GPS device displays one or more of the routes of the route selection list, and requests that a user select a route. After the user selects a route the GPS device displays the selected route as an overlay on a map display.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for autonomously rescheduling a future meeting in response to receiving a meeting cancellation notice of a previously scheduled meeting. A meeting rescheduling logic (MRL) of a server receives a cancellation of a scheduled meeting of an identified contact. The MRL may select a highest priority meeting from a plurality of meetings that has been flagged with an auto-move-up status. The MRL determines if all attendees of the selected meeting are available to attend the meeting at the open time slot of the identified contact's calendar. Upon determining that all attendees of the selected meeting are available at the open time slot, the MRL reschedules the selected meeting at the open time slot, and notifies all attendees. Additionally, the MRL may cancel a lower priority meeting of the attendees to accommodate moving a higher priority meeting into the open time slot.

The final meeting notices are sent out to the invitees informing them of the meeting logistics.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium with executable code for connecting an outgoing phone call to a user destination device based on the time the phone call is initiated. A user of a user destination device transmits a policy information packet containing contact numbers of a primary user destination device and all secondary user destination devices that the user may be reached at during specific times of the day to a call originating device. In response to the user of a call originating device initiating a request to connect a phone call to the user destination device, the call originating device autonomously selects the correct recipient user destination device by interpreting the policy information packet. The call originating device then connects the phone call to the primary user destination device or to a secondary user destination device depending on the current time of day.

Abstract: Requiring a user of a recipient's email account or application to enter a high security level authentication (e.g., password) in order to be able to view the contents or the existence of a high security level email. A sender of an email has the ability to identify, at the time of sending, a sent email as having a normal level of security or a high level of security. If the user of the recipient's email account does not have the correct high security level authentication (e.g., password), then the user will only be able to view emails identified as normal security level emails. In addition, a properly authenticated user of the recipient's email account will be able to designate any email as being a high security level email or a normal security level email.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for setting up a meeting schedule for people whose representation at the meeting is essential to holding the meeting. If the person whose representation at the meeting is essential can be represented by someone else at the meeting, the system sets up a predefined dependency rule for the second person to fill in for the essential attendee in their absence. When the system sends out meeting invitations, for example, by email, the essential person's attendance is subject to the dependency rule. In this way, if the first person cannot attend the meeting but the second person is able to attend, the meeting can be carried out. Sending out meeting invitations with such a predefined dependency rule simplifies the logistics of setting up a meeting to be attended by a number of individuals with full schedules.
