Patent number: 10091454Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for recording events occurring in a virtual world. In one embodiment, properties of events previously recorded and/or attended by a user may be identified. Recording criteria for the user may be derived from the identified properties. Upon identifying an event satisfying the recording criteria, the event may be recorded. The recorded event may be played back at the convenience of the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2015Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Kulvir S.

Patent number: 8660409Abstract: A predictive personal video recorder (PVR) can include a tuner, a buffer, a predictive tuner, and a predictive buffer. The tuner can be configured to allow viewing of a currently-selected digital video channel chosen from a plurality of digital video channels received by a predictive PVR. The buffer can be configured to store video data of the currently-selected digital video channel, allowing time-shifted viewing of the currently-selected digital video channel. The predictive tuner can be configured to capture video data for a predicted digital video channel. The predicted digital video channel can be selected based upon a predictive factor. The predictive buffer can be configured to store the captured video data for the predicted digital video channel received by the predictive tuner to allow time-shifted viewing of said predicted digital video channel.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2009Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lisa Seacat DeLuca, Timothy J. Eby, Travis M. Grigsby, Frank L. Jania

Publication number: 20110072090Abstract: A method and computer program product for providing an email navigation tool includes receiving, on an email server, an email thread including a sequence of email messages. A sender of each email message in the sequence of email messages is identified. At least one sender file associated with at least one identified sender of the email messages in the sequence of email messages is identified. The sender file is configured to provide a visual identification of the identified sender. A sequence of sender files is generated from the at least one sender file. The sequence of sender files has an order corresponding to an order of the sequence of email messages. The sequence of sender files is displayed on a computer display.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2009Publication date: March 24, 2011Inventors: Lisa Seacat DeLuca, Kulvir S. Bhogal, Timothy J.
