20090051507 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR TONAL AUDIO-BASED MONITORING OF NETWORK ALARMS - A method, system and program product for audio tonal monitoring of an alarm generated by a device in a network. The method includes mapping a severity level for an alert to be generated for a device in a network to at least one audio tone having a plurality of audible characteristics, generating an alert for the device when an error associated with the device is learned and sending to a monitoring system the alert generated, the alert containing data or information. The method further includes decrypting the alert received and formatting the alert received to add additional information and forwarding the formatted alert to an alert-to-audio cue manager. Further, the method includes mapping the alert forwarded to the audio tone having the plurality of audible characteristics, and playing the audio tone, such that the audio tone played audibly alerts a client of the alert generated by the device. | 02-26-2009 |

20110218994 | KEYWORD AUTOMATION OF VIDEO CONTENT - A system and associated method for automatically processing keyword for video content. The video content contains image frames and an audio stream. An image pattern table for image patterns from the image frames and a word pattern table for word patterns from the audio stream are generated by use of respective pattern names provided by pattern recognition tools. Each pattern is associated with a respective count indicating a number of appearances of each pattern. A respective weight of each pattern is calculated as a relative frequency of each pattern. The image pattern table and the word pattern table are merged to generate a keyword list. A predefined number of most frequently appeared patterns are selected by examining the respective weight of each pattern and metadata associated with the video content are updated to utilize pattern names of the selected patterns as keyword for web searches. | 09-08-2011 |
20120158778 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF SENSING AND RESPONDING TO SERVICE DISCOVERIES - A system and method of sensing and responding to service discoveries on a consumer's machine and, more particularly, to a system and method of sensing (discovering) service needs on a consumer's machine using a resident Daemon, and responding to the service discoveries using an extension of UDDI. The method comprises receiving a keyword from a local machine, locating a service associated with the keyword, and notifying the local machine about the service that matches the keyword. | 06-21-2012 |
20120173591 | Settlement House Data Management System - A method, social services data management system, and computer program product for managing data about social services. In response to receiving the data about the social services provided to a group of clients at a data collection application running on a computer system, the data collection application running on the computer system places the data into a first database in a first format using a content model identifying entities for the social services and relationships between the entities. The computer system changes the data in the first database from the first format to a second format used by a second database. The computer system moves the data in the second format to the second database. A report application running on the computer system generates a number of reports using the data in the second format in the second database. | 07-05-2012 |
20120174062 | PORTLET TEMPLATE BASED ON A STATE DESIGN PATTERN - A method for designing object-oriented software for implementing portlets, and an associated computer system and computer program product. The portlets are available to a user of the software who clicks on a link of a first page to identify an action object of an Action class and a state object of a State class. The software includes the State class, the Action class, and program code. The State class includes a method for displaying a view of a page. The Action class includes an actionPerformed method for performing an action and a setState method for setting the state object into the session. The program code is adapted to execute: the actionPerformed method of the action object to perform the action; the setState method of the action object to set the state object; and the method of the state object to display a view of a second page. | 07-05-2012 |
