Abstract: A method for dynamically linking information in a network using natural language processing on a computer system, the information being contained in a message of a user in the network, where a user interface of a user is provided being adapted for receiving and playing natural language input. The method including: (i) recording information from a first user in the network in natural language; (ii) translating the recorded information in natural language to a text information; (iii) identifying topics in the text information based on topics stored in a predefined database; (iv) combining the identified topics in the message with the set of weighted topics in the user profile of the first user; (v) updating a weight of each of the identified topics in the user profile of the first user; and (vi) publishing the text information.

Abstract: A method of selecting an object out of a group of objects. The object may belong to a category. The method may include receiving, object-related information indicative of properties of objects of the category by using network connected databases. The method may further include generating, an extended profile for at least one of the objects based on the received object-related information and object-specific information. The method may additionally include determining, a data structure of weighted keywords based on the natural language input using at least one out of the group consisting of a predefined dictionary, a predefined ontology, predefined system rules, and a predefined regular expression, and selecting, the object out of the group of objects based on a mapping of the extended profile and the data structure of weighted keywords resulting in a preference fit score for the selected object.

Abstract: In order to avoid unnecessary and/or too shortly displayed wait window information occurring when a program is run on a highly performing hardware it is proposed to check whether a task which causes the display of the wait window information has completed after a predetermined first time interval after start of the task, and not to display the wait window information if the task has already completed within the first time interval, and otherwise display the wait window information at least during a predetermined second time interval, even if the task has already completed within the second time interval. Advantageously, the features can be implemented into an operating system. The advantage is that the flickering appearance of so-called wait windows is avoided.

Abstract: A method is provided which allows the display of messages, and particularly error or fault messages, from a plurality of user applications in data processing (processes) which are running in parallel with one another to be improved. The method relates in particular to the display of message of this kind which call for action by the user. Messages from processes running in background can be displayed in such a way that the user is not forced to interrupt the work he is doing at that moment.
