Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

H04N 718

US Classification:

348143, 704260

Abstract:

A system, for automatically tracking objects, including a computer processor and memory, cameras and other sensors and a user interface. A user registers an object with the system by presenting the object to a camera, which produces an image of the object, and describing the object through a user interface. Based on an analysis of the image and the description provided by the user, an object identifier/tracker determines the attributes of the object, classifies the object according to the attributes, and indexes and stores the image in a database. The system will thereafter track the location of the object. Subsequently, the user can query the system to search the database to obtain information regarding the object.

International Classification:

G06F 300

US Classification:

345788, 345764

Abstract:

Information presentation system comprises a computer device having a display terminal for providing a graphical user interface (GUI), capable of generating a cluster of items comprising graphical or textual elements for display thereof according to a fractal appearance. Each item in a cluster represents information having a degree of relatedness with information represented by other items in a cluster. A control mechanism is provided for controlling the spatial extent, nesting and arrangement of items within a cluster according to a specified criteria, which spatial extent and arrangement is controlled to provide optimal display and conserve screen display space on the display terminal. Users may manually enter a criteria for organizing and adjusting the spatial extent of a cluster in order to provide continuous display space on the computer display terminal. The invention may be implemented in text editors to provide a multiresolution annotation feature for portable and lap/palm-top computer devices having pen-based or keyboard based inputs.

US Classification:

714 47, 714 13, 714 4, 340 33

Abstract:

An emergency backup system, method and computer program product for backing up data on one or more computers located in an identified danger zone. When an emergency occurs, computers in the danger zone are connected to a network. The computers may be distributed at various remote locations. The protected locations each include a sensor for sensing an emergency situation and signaling the local computer of an impending emergency. The sensor also signals remote computers of the occurrence of the emergency. The computers may have been connected together over a network or, upon receiving an emergency signal, may connect together into a backup network. Local computers in the danger zone are connected across the network to remote computers with sufficient available storage to backup data from a connected local computer. The backup may be a full backup, a partial backup or a selective backup. The computers may include PCs, PDAs and servers.

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

707102

Abstract:

The educational system recommends to users, a most efficient manner of accomplishing tasks achievable by computing devices. The system detects command sequences executed by users during an interaction with computing devices distributed over a network in an attempt to achieve a certain goal. The command sequences are segmented, each segment is labeled with a goal identifying purpose mark, a cost of each segment is computed. The detected command sequences are then compared with the command sequences detected previously and the descriptions of the more efficient command sequences are provided to the users utilizing the less effective approaches. The detected command sequence is stored in place of less efficient of the command sequences and where no prior command sequences has been previously stored.
