Abstract: An instant messaging communication method, computer program product and apparatus. The instant messaging communication apparatus includes input means for inputting an instant message and a semantic tag for the instant message; a network module for transmitting the input instant message and semantic tag and receiving an instant message with a semantic tag; construction means for constructing a visual topic structural diagram of the transmitted and received instant messages according to the semantic tag; and display means for displaying the visual topic structural diagram. An embodiment of the communication apparatus provides structured guidance to the user's discussion, directs the user to make pertinent announcement and enables the user to easily sum up the main points of the discussion from the log through a visualized topic structural diagram.

Abstract: A method is provided for automatically applying named styles to existing documents including word processing documents. The existing document is scanned and parsed into style regions of uniform style. The style attributes of each uniform style region are identified, and these identified style attributes are used to create style groups containing style regions having identical or substantially identical style attributes. These style attributes can be expressed in set or vector form. Named styles are then associated with the identified style group by either comparing the style attributes of a given style group to the attributes of a pre-defined named style or by extracting a named style from the style group. Once associated with a named style, the style regions within a given style group can be modified to be consistent with the named style associated with the style group.

Abstract: A method and email system for improving efficiency of email discussion within an email client comprising: an email tag filter for filtering a special tag in email contents, extracting original email contents, and identifying tag related information which includes at least an author name corresponding to the email contents; and a content style setting component for receiving and keeping the tag related information fed by the email tag filter, then identifying which part of the email contents is written by which author according to the tag information, and assigning correct style to corresponding contents using a user customization style for each author. The invention differentiates different users mainly by automatically labeling the contents input by the users, and the input contents can be distributed in different positions within a single email, which matches the natural convention of the current users to use the email system.

Abstract: Computer systems in which at least two operating systems coexist independently from each other, and that swap between the operating systems. Provides methods to have at least two operating systems coexist independently of each other and swap the operating systems. A computer system includes a memory allocation component to be called by a power-on self test (POST) routine in order to allocate RAM for the operating systems when the computer system starts up, and backup and restore component to be called by a suspension routine in order to backup and restore the data specific to the operating systems, wherein each of the operating systems can transfer itself to the memory area belonging to itself, turn an allocated memory area into a physical RAM, and call the suspension routine to swap to other operating systems by setting swap parameters. The computer system can swap between operating systems easily and conveniently.
