Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for scenario-based content categorization, retrieval, and presentation are disclosed. At a first moment in time, a first event scenario is detected by a mobile device, where the first event scenario is defined by one or more participants and one or more contextual cues concurrently monitored by the mobile device and observable to a human user of the mobile device. An information bundle is created in real-time for the first event scenario, where the information bundle includes one or more documents accessed during the first event scenario and is retrievable according to the one or more contextual cues. Access to the one or more documents is automatically provided on the mobile device during a second event scenario that is related to the first event scenario by one or more common contextual cues. Other scenario-based content retrieval and presentation methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A user can make an intuitive, physical gesture with a first device, which can be detected by one or more onboard motion sensors. The detected motion triggers an animation having a “physics metaphor,” where the object appears to react to forces in a real world, physical environment. The first device detects the presence of a second device and a communication link is established allowing a transfer of data represented by the object to the second device. During the transfer, the first device can animate the object to simulate the object leaving the first device and the second device can animate the object to simulate the object entering the second device. In some implementations, in response to an intuitive, gesture made on a touch sensitive surface of a first device or by physically moving the device, an object can be transferred or broadcast to other devices or a network resource based on a direction, velocity or speed of the gesture.

Abstract: Three-dimensional objects can be generated based on two-dimensional objects. A first user input identifying a 2D object presented in a user interface can be detected, and a second user input including a 3D gesture input that includes a movement in proximity to a surface can be detected. A 3D object can be generated based on the 2D object according to the first and second user inputs, and the 3D object can be presented in the user interface.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for providing a scenario desktop for recording a current event scenario and a content desktop for presenting information about a previously recorded event scenario are disclosed. When a first event scenario is detected on the mobile device, the scenario desktop is presented on the mobile device. The scenario desktop exists in parallel with a default primary desktop of the mobile device. An information bundle is created for the first event scenario, including one or more documents accessed through the scenario desktop during the first event scenario. Access to the one or more documents is automatically provided on the mobile device during a second event scenario related to the first event scenario. The access is provided through the content desktop existing in parallel with the primary desktop and the scenario desktop. Other scenario-based content retrieval and presentation methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Certain embodiments may take the form of a method of operating an electronic device to find and determine an identity of other local devices. The method includes transmitting electromagnetic signals from a first electronic device to find devices within a prescribed distance of the first device and receiving electromagnetic response signals from a second electronic device within the prescribed distance from the first electronic device. The method also includes identifying the second electronic device using information received in the electromagnetic response signals. Additionally, the method includes determining if the second electronic device is aware of other electronic devices and, if the second electronic device is aware of other electronic devices, obtaining identifying information of the other devices from the second electronic device.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for using a heartbeat signal to maintain data consistency for writes to source storage copied to target storage. A copy relationship associates a source storage and target storage pair, wherein writes received at the source storage are transferred to the target storage. A determination is made whether a signal has been received from a system within a receive signal interval. A freeze operation is initiated to cease receiving writes at the source storage from an application in response to determining that the signal has not been received within the receive signal interval. A thaw operation is initiated to continue receiving write operations at the source storage from applications after a lapse of a freeze timeout in response to the freeze operation, wherein after the thaw operation, received writes completed at the source storage are not transferred to the target storage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems, methods, and computer program products for docking a currency pair user interface element to a corresponding chart. One or more currency pair user interface elements are generated that include real time price data for a currency pair and buy and sell functionality. A chart corresponding to one of the currency pair user interface elements and including historical trading data is also generated. The chart includes a link configured to dock a currency pair user interface element to the chart. A user selects the currency pair user interface element corresponding to the chart. The currency pair user interface element is docked at the location of the link. As a result, the currency pair user interface element is displayed in the chart and becomes part of the chart so that it moves with the chart when the chart is moved.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for initializing a synchronized remote database. A creation module creates a first backup table of a backup database from a schema for a primary table of a primary database. A read module reads each row from the primary table with an application server configured to manage access to the primary database by a database application. A construction module constructs a SQL command for each row of the primary table. Each SQL command inserts data of a primary table row in the first backup table. An application module applies each SQL command to the first backup table to mirror the primary table at the first backup table.

Abstract: This embodiment allows for a communications path between two storage management servers, when they do not have their normal HA communications path connected directly with one another, to send communications through the storage device server. An embodiment of this invention creates a request header that will direct the storage device server to perform certain operations. This request header is used to send commands from the storage management server to the storage device servers. This common connection with the storage device between the two storage management servers allow them to continue communication with each other if the direct link is severed.

Abstract: This presentation allows for two or more storage management servers to be in an active high availability (HA) state for the same set of storage devices and copy services relationships; rather than having a single server be in an active HA state and the other servers being in a standby HA state. This makes each HA server to be able to accept commands at any time so that they will not have to issue a takeover command to a standby server just to start issuing commands. This will also ensure that the data replication pairs will continue copying data until an event of an actual disaster; in which the active servers would then cause the data replication to be suspended so that a consistent set of data is secured on the secondary site.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for synchronizing a remote database. A monitor module monitors an update from a database application to a primary table of a primary database. The update is communicated through an application server. The application server is configured to manage access to the primary database by the database application. A construction module constructs a SQL command in text format that is equivalent to the update. An update module applies the SQL command to a backup table of a backup database. The backup table is a logical mirror image of the primary table prior to the application of the update to the primary table. In one embodiment, a verification module verifies that the SQL command is successfully applied to the backup table.
