  • Patent number: 8195748
    Abstract: An email content management method, system and program are provided for mapping a plurality of received electronic mail (email) messages to a plurality of predetermined graphical representations of an email Inbox. Predetermined sender and originating information is associated with an email. When the email is received by the recipient, the associated sender and originating information is used to map the email to a graphical Inbox depicting the email's originating location. Once mapped, the corresponding email graphical Inbox is represented in a graphical display, such as the user interface of an email client. Graphical Inboxes can be represented as subsets of a geographical map or depict an organizational hierarchy chart. Status information related to the received email messages is generated and display attributes are applied to their corresponding email graphical Inboxes.

  • Patent number: 7257373
    Abstract: One or more stationary wireless readers are used to determine the relative strength of calibration signals sent from fixed locations adjacent to POS terminals. Then, the signal strength of signals being transmitted by wireless devices within range of the one or more wireless readers is evaluated to determine the relative position of each wireless device to the POS terminals. This allows an operator of the POS system to determine the proximity of each wireless device relative to the POS terminals.
