Abstract:
Acclimatizing a user to a scheduling pattern change includes: in a calendar system implemented by at least one processor, determining an anticipated scheduling pattern change for the user; establishing with the calendar system an acclimatization period to transition the user to the scheduling pattern change; receiving in the calendar system a request to schedule an event for the user at a time within the acclimatization period; and prompting the user to reschedule the event to a time outside of the acclimatization period with the calendar system.
Abstract:
A response event to provide a communication reply can be detected. The reply can be to an email message which is part of an email conversation. The email conversation can include a sequence of zero or more response email messages to an initial email message as well as the initial email message. Attributes of different ones of the email messages can be queried. A quantity N can be determined based on values of the attributes being compared against at least one history criteria. The quantity of N can vary based on the values and the history criteria. A reply history set can be created that includes a set of history segments. Each history segment can correspond to one of the N different ones of the email messages of the email conversation. The reply history set can be incorporated within the communication reply.
Abstract:
One or more interactions of a user are monitored. Information associated with the one or more interactions is indexed. A point of interested is determined within an electronic mail message based upon, at least in part, the indexed information. An indicator of the point of interest is provided within a preview pane associated with the electronic mail message.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system, and computer program product for managing categorized workgroup print jobs. The method includes receiving from an end user a print job designated for printing in a workgroup printer and categorizing the print job as work related or non-work related. Additionally whether or not printing the print job on behalf of the end user encroaches within a threshold value of a remaining allocation of printing resources established for the end user is determined. Finally, in response to determining both that the print job is within a specific category and also that the printing of the print job on behalf of the end user encroaches within the threshold value of the remaining allocation of printing resources established for the end user, further processing of the print job can be restricted.
Abstract:
Computer method, apparatus and system reduces size of attachments for an electronic communication. The method/system automatically selects a part (portion) of a working document to serve as the electronic communication attachment or upload. A monitoring unit monitors sender-user activity with respect to the working document and logs indications of the portions of the working document that are read by the user. During email composition, an attachment engine automatically selects the logged and indicated document portions to serve as an attachment reduced in size. During other electronic communication composition, such as to a blog, wiki or computer network forum, the attachment engine automatically selects the logged and indicated document portions to serve as the upload reduced in size.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for managing categorized workgroup print jobs. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for workgroup management of categorized print jobs includes receiving from an end user a print job designated for printing in a workgroup printer and determining from the print job whether the print job is should or should not be printed based on its categorization. It additionally can be determined whether or not printing the print job on behalf of the end user encroaches within a threshold value of a remaining allocation of printing resources established for the end user. Finally, in response to determining both that the print job is within a specific category and also that the printing of the print job on behalf of the end user encroaches within the threshold value of the remaining allocation of printing resources established for the end user, further processing of the print job can be restricted.
Abstract:
A system for learned mouse affinities, including: a context listener to determine a context in which a user is operating, wherein the context listener also listens for an occurrence of a trigger event within the context; a mouse listener to recognize a mouse action by the user; and a mapping stored on a memory device, wherein the mapping includes mouse actions mapped to context actions, wherein the context actions correspond to the trigger event, wherein the context action is implemented in response to the mouse action according to the profile and after the occurrence of the trigger event.
Abstract:
An approach is provided where one or more biometric inputs are received at a biometric receiver accessible by a mobile pervasive computing device. The biometric inputs are from a current user of the mobile pervasive computing device. One or more sets of expected biometric data are retrieved with the sets of expected biometric data corresponding to one or more authorized users of the mobile pervasive computing device. The received biometric inputs are compared with the retrieved sets of expected biometric data. Themobile pervasive computing device is secured using one or more security actions if the comparison reveals a mismatch between the biometric inputs and the retrieved sets of expected biometric data.
Abstract:
A method, which includes, within an electronic communication client, identifying a first person. Via a processor, at least a second person geographically located proximate to a geographic location associated with the first person can be identified. The method further can include, within the electronic communication client, indicating that the second person is geographically located proximate to the geographic location associated with the first person.
