Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and products for searching for a directory in a file system are disclosed that include selecting, by a word selection module for inclusion in a word list, a word of text whose frequency of occurrence meets a predefined criterion; inserting, by the word selection module into the word list, the selected word; inserting, by an indexing module into a search index, the selected word in association with the directory name; receiving, by a search module from a user, a search request that includes the selected word; and returning, by the search module to the user in dependence upon the search request and the search index, a search result that includes the directory name. The directory is characterized by a directory name and includes computer storage resources, the computer storage resources including words of text, each word of text characterized by a frequency of occurrence among the computer storage resources.

Abstract: In a first aspect, a first method of providing communication to a user via one of a plurality of network devices is provided. The first method includes the steps of (1) receiving a plurality of communications for the user from one or more of the network devices in a message queue; (2) selecting a network device based on at least one of respective time thresholds and respective priorities associated with the plurality of network devices; and (3) determining whether the selected network device can receive a communication from the message queue based on at least one of a profile associated with the user adapted to define how the user receives the communication on one or more of the network devices and a ruleset adapted to define how the communication is handled based on criteria associated with the communication. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: A method of tracking images captured by a digital camera includes inputting a profile marker to a profile information database in the digital camera, establishing a profile ratio for captured images. The profile ratio sets a number of captured images required to contain the profile marker. The method further requires scanning with a tracking system captured images stored a memory for the profile marker, and providing one of a visual alarm and an audible alarm indicating that the number of captured images containing the profile marker is less than the profile ratio.

Abstract: Web-searchable documents are made accessible to user based on user relations to the document owner. In response to an Internet search query from a user including at least one search term, a document in a search index of documents is analyzed. Keywords within the document are assigned group priority ratings. The group priority ratings are indicative of groups of users that the document owner is willing to share documents with. The group ratings may be assigned by the document owner based, for example, on the sensitivity of personal nature of the keywords. The user's relation rating to an owner of the document is determined, and the search term in the query is compared only to those indexed keywords within the document that have a group priority rating that is less than or equal to the user's relation rating to the owner of the document. An overall document ranking may be determined based on the comparison of the search term to the indexed keywords.

Abstract: A digital camera system includes an input member for selecting at least one of an individual profile and a group profile and a memory operatively coupled to the input member. The memory includes digital images captured by the digital camera system and a profile information database. The profile information database includes at least one of an individual profile having an individual profile marker and a group profile having a plurality of individual profile markers. A tracking system, operatively coupled to the memory, selectively scans the captured images for images including at least one individual profile marker. A notification system, operatively coupled to the tracking system, provides one of a visual and an audible alarm indicating that less than a pre-selected number of individual profile markers are present in the captured images.
