| 20080216164 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING ACCESS CONTROL TO SINGLE SIGN-ON COMPUTER NETWORKS - A method for providing access control to a single sign-on computer network is disclosed. A user is assigned to multiple groups within a computer network. In response to an access request by the user, the computer network determines a group pass count based on a user profile of the user. The group pass count is a number of groups in which the access request meets all their access requirements. The computer network grants the access request if the group pass count is greater than a predetermined high group pass threshold value. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080271151 | Method and system for morphing honeypot with computer security incident correlation - A method, system, apparatus, or computer program product is presented for morphing a honeypot system on a dynamic and configurable basis. The morphing honeypot emulates a variety of services while falsely presenting information about potential vulnerabilities within the system that supports the honeypot. The morphing honeypot has the ability to dynamically change its personality or displayed characteristics using a variety of algorithms and a database of known operating system and service vulnerabilities. The morphing honeypot's personality can be changed on a timed or scheduled basis, on the basis of activity that is generated by the presented honeypot personality, or on some other basis. The morphing honeypot can also be integrated with intrusion detection systems and other types of computer security incident recognition systems to correlate its personality with detected nefarious activities. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080307367 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A DRAG AND DROP OPERATION IMPLEMENTING A HIERARCHICAL PATH NAME - A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for transferring a file item. The process selects a file item in response to receiving a first input command. The process selects a file item in response to receiving a first input command. The process then identifies a file path name from a hierarchical file path to form a selected file path name. The file path name is identified by detecting a pointer passing over the file path name. In response to receiving a second input command, the process transfers the file item to a storage location associated with the selected file path name. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090089680 | ALIASING UNIFORM RESOURCE LOCATIONS WITHIN A BROWSER - A computer implemented method, data processing system, and a computer program product are provided for resolving uniform resource locator addresses. A first uniform resource locator address is input from a user. The first uniform resource locator address is identified within a database list of uniform resource locator addresses. Each of the list of uniform resource locator addresses corresponds to a second uniform resource locator address contained in the database. Responsive to identifying the first uniform resource locator address with the list of uniform resource locator addresses, information for the corresponding second uniform resource locator address is displayed. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090100335 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTING WILDCARD PATTERNS FOR A SPELLCHECKING OPERATION - A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program product for implementing wildcard patterns for a spellchecking operation. The process parses a set of words of a document using a dictionary of wildcard patterns to identify a set of wildcard strings in response to receiving a request to perform a spellchecking operation on the document. Thereafter, the process generates a visual cue identifying a subset of words as potentially misspelled, wherein the subset of words comprises words from the set of words that are absent from the set of wildcard strings. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090109961 | MULTIPLE SIMULTANEOUS CALL MANAGEMENT USING VOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL - Illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for more effectively managing multiple call situations using voice over internet protocol. In one illustrative embodiment, the computer implemented method comprising, responsive to receiving a request to monitor a call from among multiple simultaneous calls using voice over internet protocol, creating a set of trigger criteria for the call and monitoring the call for the set of trigger criteria. Responsive to one of the set of trigger criteria having been met, identifying a triggered criteria and selectively invoking a rule with respect to the triggered criteria to produce a result, and notifying a requester of the result. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090113330 | Method For Predictive Drag and Drop Operation To Improve Accessibility - A method simplified drag and drop operations of display icons. This method calculates a projected path for an icon based on the past movement of the icon. The method highlights the “best fit” target icon as the mouse pointer moves across the screen. As the mouse pointer moves, or changes direction, the “best fit” target icon can change, with the current best-fit icon being highlighted. In addition to highlighting the target icon, a line or arrow from the mouse pointer to the target icon is maintained. The line presents the predicted path in a very noticeable, visual way. As the best-fit target icon changes, the line is re-drawn to point to the current best-fit icon. Regardless of how the target icon is visually indicated, releasing the mouse button will cause the drop operation to be completed “into” target. Completion of the drop could be instantaneous, or could be rendered with animation of some sort to indicate moving from the source to the target. | 04-30-2009 |
