Abstract:
Input may be received indicating selection of multiple modules from a plurality of predefined configurable computation modules and to configure the selected modules. Configuring the selected modules may include defining one or more module inputs to each selected module and may also include defining one or more connections between modules of the selected multiple modules. The selected modules may be assembled based on the respective define one or more module inputs to each selected module and the defined one or more connections between modules. The assembled selected module may enable analysis to be performed on data received at the respective one or more module inputs.
Abstract:
A system and computer based method are provided for measuring the effectiveness of advertisements. The systems may include a first networked server providing an ad associated with an advertiser at random times over a limited period of time, where the networked server logs in a database when the ad is served to an ad-viewer, a display connected to a client computer presenting the ad, a second networked server measuring the customer response after providing the ad and storing the customer response and a time of response in a second database, and a computer application program for performing cross-correlations across the first database and the second database to determine the correlation of consumer response to the ad.
Abstract:
Provided is a method that includes a method for updating index data. The method includes receiving index data, including an index value indicative of user activity on a network site and an index time corresponding to a time used for calculating the index value, receiving an update index time corresponding to a time used for updating the index data, determining an updated index value using an exponential decay of the index value from the index time to the update index time, wherein the updated index value comprises a decayed value of the index value corresponding to the update time, and storing updated index data including the updated index value and the update index time.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a method of automatically assigning a ranking value to a plurality of received messages is disclosed. Each of the received messages provides information about a computer program. The method includes receiving a first message, storing the first message in the database and initializing the first message. Further, it is determined whether the first message is to be disqualified. If it is determined that the first message is to be disqualified, the first message is disqualified. If it is determined that the first message is not to be disqualified, a ranking value is automatically assigning to the first message based upon a predetermined set of criteria.

Abstract:
According to one embodiment a method and apparatus for displaying the path of a computer program error as a sequence of hypertext documents in a computer system having a display is disclosed. The method includes displaying a first function in the control-flow path of the error as text in a first region on the display. Subsequently, a first hypertext link marker located within the first function, and associated with a second function called by the first and also lying on the error's control-flow path is selected. Thereafter, the second function's text associated with the first link marker is displayed in a second region. The second region is positioned in the first region such that the text of the first document is not obscured. The second region includes a first tab area that surrounds the first link maker after it is selected. According to a further embodiment, the method also includes selecting a second hypertext link marker located within the second function, corresponding to a third function called by the second and lying on the error's control-flow path. Afterwards, the text of the third function associated with the second link marker is displayed in a third region. The third region is positioned in the second region such that the text of the second document is not obscured.
Abstract:
A system for receiving, sending and creating multimedia messages includes an audio communication device, a visual output device, a remote access system and a multimedia message system. The audio communication device is coupled to the remote access system to provide audio input and control signals, and also for receiving the audio portions of multimedia messages. The remote access system also couples the visual output device to the multimedia message system for accessing the visual portions of multimedia messages. The multimedia message system has the capability to generate an image of the message in response to a user request and send that image to the remote access system, and then to the visual output device to the user. The image is augmented to include indices that the user may input via the audio communication device to perform specified actions with the various portions of the message. This functionality is particularly advantageous because it extends the usefulness of the multimedia message system so that it may be used for full access to the system's capabilities with a conventional audio communication device such as a telephone.
