摘要： A calling service is provided within a conventional Internet operating environment wherein client machines connect to the Internet via an Internet service provider (ISP). The ISP provides Internet access to the users for a time-based or usage-based service fee. According to the invention, a client machine user is provided an option to make a telephone call to a Web site operator during a browsing session. The charges for the telephone call preferably are invoiced by the ISP (or some third party on the ISP's behalf). Thus, when a user elects to make a “one-click” telephone call to the Web site, the charge for the call preferably shows up on the user's ISP billing statement.

摘要： A multi-user system, method, and computer-usable medium facilitate time-shifting of television program viewing for users. Each user is identified by an associated user profile, and a program schedule, including a list of desired programs to be recorded, is maintained for each user. The television programs are recorded and stored on a hard disk, or other nonvolatile storage, for later viewing by the users. The television programs are preferably stored in a compressed format. Each user can log into the system, at his convenience, and view any of the television programs that have been recorded for him. There is no shuffling through numerous videocassette tapes or skipping over other users' recorded programs to find a desired television program. An option may be used to specify how long to save a recorded television program before it can be erased and overwritten with another program. A master user or users, such as a parent or parents, can add a new user to the system by setting up a new user profile. The master user may set options or restrictions for the new user. If a permanent copy of a television program is desired, it can be written to another medium, such as a compact disk, a DVD, or a videocassette tape.

摘要： A system and method for expediting service to a user by automatically defaulting to the typical preferences of the user for a remote point of purchase action at a facility which permits such actions is described. In one version, the user utilizes a credit or debit card to make a purchase at the facility. After the card is authorized, the user's profile of his or her routine selections at such facilities is retrieved. After the user's profile is obtained, the user is allowed to immediately complete the transaction rather than proceed through the option selection process. The system utilizes the user profile to automatically default the prompts and inquiries of the interface terminal to the typical selections chosen by the user. This feature expedites service to users by allowing them to bypass the interactive option selection process with the terminal. The user may deviate from his or her typical selections by entering alternate selections in a conventional manner at any time.

摘要： A user sets preference parameters that filter web page contents from being stored in the cache. The preferences relate to the web page's contents and attributes. Before caching the web page, the contents and attributes of the web page are filtered solely as a function of the web browser. Cache filters take a variety of forms, such as ratings filters, web page identifier filters, and key word filters, which scan accessed contents of a web page for user selected terms. The filtered web page is then blocked from entry in the browser's cache based on the filtering process. Conversely, a user sets preference parameters that filter web page contents to override the block from cache preferences. The browser responds by storing the filtered web pages that were previously designated as web pages not to be cached.

摘要： A method and system for controlling a display of a data processing system uses first and second wireless position control devices, and a control base unit. The first wireless position control device includes a transducer for transmitting a first signal upon which X-Y position control and/or action control signals generated by the device are imposed. A second wireless position control device includes a transducer for transmitting a second signal upon which X-Y position control and/or other action control signals generated by the second control device are imposed. The first and second signals and second different frequencies. To prevent the control devices from interfering with each other, the control base is associated with the data processing system and includes circuitry for issuing polling signals to the control devices. Only one of the control devices is polled at a particular time. The control base circuitry also receives and decodes the carrier signals to generate decoded display control signals. The display control signals are then used to drive the display device. Two users may thus control the display device simultaneously.

摘要： An onboard computer is used to control many aspects of a vehicle including performance and ride characteristics. Used in combination with the onboard computer, a smart card key is used to authorize a user. In addition, the smart card key stores user preference data, such as performance and ride parameters, which are in turn used by the onboard computer to adjust performance and ride characteristics of the vehicle. Because the parameters are stored on individual smart card keys, each operator of the vehicle stores user parameters specific to each user. User parameters may also be stored in the computer memory itself. Access to the user preference data is controlled by user identification parameters that are also stored on a smart card memory or in the memory of the computer. These user identification parameters may include, for example, user identification by a combination of means including a password, finger print, eye print and/or voice print or other biologic attributes unique to the user.

摘要： A method of copying a Web page presented for display on a browser of a Web client. The Web page comprises a base HTML document and a plurality of hypertext references, one or more of which may be associated with embedded objects (such as image files). The operation begins by copying the base HTML document to the client local storage and establishing a pointer to the copied document. A first linked list of the hypertext references in the base document is then generated. Thereafter, and for each hypertext reference in the first linked list, the following operations are performed. If the hypertext reference refers to an embedded object in the base HTML document, the embedded object is saved on the client local storage and the file name of the saved embedded object is stored (as a fully-qualified URL) in a second linked list. If the hypertext reference does not refer to an embedded object in the base HTML document, the fully-qualified URL of the hypertext reference is stored in the second linked list. Then, the fully-qualified URLs of the second linked list (including those associated with the stored images) are updated to point to the files located on the client local storage. At the end of this operation, there is a new HTML page with links for images pointing to files on the local hard drive. When the user desires to retrieve the copied page, a link to the pointer is activated.

摘要： A method of managing a plurality of client machine "Web agents" vying for a resource in a computer network having a central authority. The resource may be a limited number of telephone connections in a dialup telephone network. At each client machine, a map of available agent start times is generated based on resource usage statistics and given scheduling criteria distributed by the central authority. Using this information, an available agent start time is selected at random from the map. This start time is then set as a "regular" start time at which the particular agent initiates some agent activity on behalf of a user of the client machine. If, however, the client machine is unable to obtain access to the resource according to a given criteria, the map of available agent start times is then regenerated to enable the agent associated with the client machine to reschedule itself to a new start time for the agent activity. Thus, each agent performs its own scheduling based on the resource usage statistics and/or given scheduling criteria distributed from the central authority.

摘要： A process in a data processing system for handling messages received in a message queue in a message handling process for a graphical user interface. In response to receiving a message in the queue, a determination is made as to whether the error is a message. In response to an identification of an error message, that message is intercepted before processing by the message handling process. A determination is made as to whether a corrective action is required in response to the error message and as to whether the error message should be reformatted. If corrective action is required, that action is initiated by the process. Additionally, if the message should be reformatted, the process then reformats the message and returns the message to the message handling process for further processing.
