20080235022 | Automatic Speech Recognition With Dynamic Grammar Rules - Automatic speech recognition implemented with a speech recognition grammar of a multimodal application in an ASR engine, the multimodal application operating on a multimodal device supporting multiple modes of user interaction including a voice mode, the multimodal application operatively coupled to the ASR engine, including: matching by the ASR engine at least one static rule of the speech recognition grammar with at least one word of a voice utterance, yielding a matched value, the matched value specified by the grammar to be required for processing of a dynamic rule of the grammar; and dynamically defining at run time the dynamic rule of the grammar as a new static rule in dependence upon the matched value, the dynamic rule comprising a rule that is specified by the grammar as a rule that is not to be processed by the ASR until after the at least one static rule has been matched. | 09-25-2008 |
20090060467 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AGGREGATING AND PRESENTING USER PLAYBACK DATA INDICATING MANIPULATION OF MEDIA CLIPS BY A PLURALITY OF USERS - User playback data is collected from multiple user media devices. The user playback data indicates how a media clip has been manipulated by the users during playback of the media clip. The collected user playback data is aggregated and presented for display to at least one user, along with the media clip, on a media playback timeline. The media playback timeline indicates manipulation of the media clip by other users and indicates points in time during playback of the media clip that the manipulation of the media clip by the other users occurred. The manipulation of the media clip includes at least one of pause, skip forward, replay, and rewind. | 03-05-2009 |
20090254818 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND USER INTERFACE FOR PROVIDING INLINE SPELLING ASSISTANCE - A method for providing inline spelling assistance to a user via a user interface. The method includes receiving at least a prefix of a word being typed by a user, determining whether the word is being misspelled while the user types the word, monitoring a number of times the word is misspelled by the user when it is determined that the word is misspelled, and providing inline spelling assistance by displaying a correct spelling of the word to the user via the user interface based upon a predetermined number of times the user misspells the word, and guiding die user to type the correct spelling of the word. | 10-08-2009 |
20110137858 | HARMONIZING WEBPAGE INFORMATION - A descriptive webpage about an entity is harmonized with other electronically published information about the entity. A descriptive webpage, which includes an entity profile about an entity, is located. Other electronically published information about the entity is retrieved. The descriptive webpage is harmonized with the other electronically published information by updating the entity profile with the other electronically published information about the entity. | 06-09-2011 |

20080222097 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR AN INLINE DISPLAY OF RELATED BLOG POSTINGS - An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for an inline display of related blog postings. The apparatus, system, and method include searching a first blog for material common to the first blog and to a second blog and adding a link to the common material in the second blog. The link includes an interactive indicator in the second blog that displays a posting from the first blog that contains the common material in response to selection of the indicator. The apparatus, system, and method include marking each posting in the first blog that contains the common material and that has been displayed in the second blog as having been read. | 09-11-2008 |
20090300514 | SYSTEM FOR EFFECTIVE MEETING INVITEE RESPONSE STATUS - A system for visually representing an event as part of a larger schedule (e.g., calendar). The representation of the particular event may include an indicator configured to display invitee status. Functionality may also be configured to provide additional information, for example, by user interaction. In at least one instance, a user may move a mouse over the invitee status indicator to trigger a pop-up box with the additional information. Additional functionality, that may be implemented alone or in conjunction with the above exemplary embodiments of the present invention, may include the automatic execution of an activity in view of a threshold condition related to the event. For example, when an event is created, a threshold condition pertaining to one or more characteristics of the event and/or an activity may be configured. When the threshold condition is met and/or exceeded, the configured activity may be triggered. | 12-03-2009 |
20100131666 | System and Method for Managing Data Transfers Between Information Protocols - A computer data handling method, system and apparatus are disclosed. A data item or information object are received in one protocol. Based on data contents, a protocol transfer module (engine) optimizes information presentation by transferring/converting the data item from the one protocol to a form of the data item in a different protocol. The resulting form (i.e. the data item/information object in the different protocol) optimally presents the data contents to an end-user. The end user reads the converted data item in the different protocol. The invention system enables the user to reply or otherwise further handle the data item in the initial protocol as desired. The initial protocol may be email and the resulting form of the data item may be one or more feed entries in machine-readable feeds specified by the user. The invention optimization effectively reduces email In-box clutter and streamlines reading in feed readers. | 05-27-2010 |
20100251091 | AUTOMATED DYNAMIC DIFFERENTIAL DATA PROCESSING - A request for differential data relative to a first data element within a group of data elements is received via a user input device. A first differential data value for each of the group of data elements relative to the first data element is calculated. The first differential data value for each of the group of data elements relative to the first data element are displayed on a display in response to the received request. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract. | 09-30-2010 |
20100251167 | SCROLLBAR USER INTERFACE FOR MULTITOUCH DEVICES - Two sliding user interactions along a display surface of a multitouch input display device are detected in approximately opposite directions proximate to a display location of a scroll element displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the device. Available content displayed within the GUI is automatically zoomed based upon the detected two sliding user interactions along the display surface. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract. | 09-30-2010 |
20110078251 | Instant Messaging Exchange Incorporating User-generated Multimedia Content - A method for displaying multimedia content created by a user of a first computerized messaging device to a user of a second computerized messaging device communicatively coupled to the first computerized messaging device by a network includes: displaying, with the second computerized messaging device, a textual instant messaging exchange between the user of the first computerized messaging device and the user of the second computerized messaging device; receiving the multimedia content at the second computerized messaging device over the network; and dynamically embedding a player for the multimedia content in-line in the display of the textual instant messaging exchange at the second messaging device. | 03-31-2011 |
