Abstract: A metaverse system includes a client computer coupled to a network, a metaverse server coupled to the client computer, the metaverse server to host a metaverse application, and a group link engine coupled to the server. The engine opens a group link connection in response to a request from a user. A linked group associated with the connection includes at least two linked users, and at least one of the linked users is designated as a leader, and each of the at least two linked users is associated with an avatar different from the avatar associated with the other. The engine includes a group link controller to allow the leader to control an action of a second avatar of a second user. The action of the second avatar can be viewed separately from each avatar associated with the at least one linked users that are designated as the leader.

Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for associating process priority with I/O queuing. The system can receive a first I/O request from a first process; store the first I/O request in an I/O queue; receive a second I/O request from a second process; store the second I/O request in the I/O queue; and sort the I/O queue based, at least in part, on a first priority of the first process and a second priority of the second process.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention associate an unsent electronic message with a target file that is attached to a first stored electronic message. A command to attach a file to the unsent electronic message is received. A list identifying one or more files attached to one or more stored electronic messages is displayed. The target file is one of the one or more files. An input identifying the target file is received. One of the target file and a file that identifies a location of the target file on a storage device is attached to the unsent electronic message.

Abstract: Input/output (I/O) requests generated by processes are typically stored in I/O queues. Because the queued I/O requests may not be associated with the processes that generated them, changing a process' priority may not affect the priority of the I/O requests generated by the process. Therefore, after the process' priority has been increased, it may be forced to wait for an I/O handler to service its I/O request, which may be stuck behind an I/O request generated by a lower priority process. Functionality can be implemented to associate the processes' priorities with the I/O requests generated by the processes. Also, reordering the queued I/O requests to reflect changes in the processes' priorities can ensure that the I/O requests from high priority processes are serviced before the I/O requests from low priority processes. This can ensure efficient processing and lower wait times for high priority processes.

Abstract: A metaverse system and method for allowing a user to attend a recorded past event in a metaverse application. The metaverse system includes a client computer, a metaverse server, and a time travel engine. The client computer interfaces with the metaverse application. The metaverse server records an event environment of a past event in a metaverse application. The time travel engine serves, in response to a request from a user, a playback of the recorded event environment to the client computer to allow the user to attend and to observe the recorded event environment.

Abstract: In a method for searching for a previously visited web page, a first computer receives a plurality of search parameters from a second computer. The plurality of search parameters include a parameter identifying a characteristic of an element of a previously visited web page and a parameter identifying a weight of confidence in a recollection of a user that the element has the characteristic. The first computer searches for the characteristic of the element in a database including one or more characteristics of elements of indexed web pages. The first computer finds a match between the characteristic of the element and a characteristic of an element of an indexed web page of the indexed web pages. The first computer creates a list including an identification of the indexed web page. The first computer sends the list to the second computer.

Abstract: A virtual memory method for allocating physical memory space required by an application by tracking the page space used in each of a sequence of invocations by an application requesting memory space; keeping count of the number of said invocations; and determining the average page space used for each of said invocations from the count and previous average. Then, this average page space is recorded as a predicted allocation for the next invocation. This recorded average space is used for the next invocation. If there is any additional page space required by said next invocation, this additional page space may be accessed through any conventional default page space allocation.

Abstract: The present disclosure a method for providing virtual world event notification. A method for providing virtual world event notification may include receiving information regarding a virtual world event, receiving a user profile, determining if the virtual world event would be of interest to a particular user based upon the user profile, and inviting a user to the virtual world event based upon the user profile through a user's calendar application.

Abstract: A method, programmed medium and system are provided in which a user has an option to prioritize meetings and individuals who have access to the user's calendar. The disclosed exemplary embodiments provide for prioritizing meetings and allowing a certain set of favorite people see the availability based on priority. Users are enabled to designate specific individuals and corresponding priority levels for the designated individuals who have access to the user's calendar. A high priority user is enabled to schedule a meeting on other users' calendars based on the priority level of the scheduling user. The system automatically determines the priority level of the scheduling user and displays calendars of other invited users by displaying only other scheduled meetings which have a higher priority level thereby enabling automatic priority level scheduling for all users of the calendar system.

Abstract: A method, medium and implementing processing system are provided for enabling enhanced help or guidance that is tailored to a user and is available on a multitude of “levels” and in a variety of ways. A user is enabled to create a user profile by inputting information about his or her personal interests, i.e. what they plan or hope to do in a virtual world application and possibly how the application can best meet the individual's needs. Users are enabled to specify interests using a form, free-form text, or other means of input. Based on the user input specifications, and depending upon user activity while in the metaverse application, information will be provided about users, places, and events that may be useful to the user in accomplishing the individual user's objectives.

Abstract: A method and system for enhancing a virtual world application to facilitate social networking between users are disclosed. The system detects a trigger condition within the virtual world application, and in response to detecting the trigger condition, searches one or more real world social networking application relationship databases for real world social network relationships between a first user of the virtual world application and at least one other user of the virtual world application. Based on the results of the searching performed on the social networking application relationship databases, the disclosed system displays alerts containing real world social network information describing real world social networks connecting the first user and one or more other users of the virtual world application that were detected by the searching.
