Velda A. Bartek - Apex NC, US
Eric L. Masselle - Raleigh NC, US
Patrick G. McGowan - Chapel Hill NC, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 5, 707101, 715234

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for creating navigation views based on historical user behavior. The method comprises: tracking pages navigated by a user through a site to provide tracking data; generating a complete site view displaying all pages in the site; generating a reduced site view based on the tracking data and at least one filtering parameter, wherein the reduced site view displays a set of the pages navigated by the user, filtered by the at least one filtering parameter; and creating a custom navigation view based on the reduced site view.

G06F 13/00

US Classification:

719317, 715236

Abstract:

A user interface template that implements a task pattern for a model class and a model adapter that provides an interface for the application that conforms to the model class are identified. A user interface for the application is created from the identified user interface template and the identified model adapter. The user interface template may include a generic view and a generic controller. The model adapter may provide a business object interface, and may be configured to communicate with the application via a J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) connector. The user interface template may define an abstract portlet, and creating a user interface includes creating a portlet instance that communicates with the application via the model adapter. The portlet instance may be configured using an application portlet builder portlet. The portlet builder may also identify the user interface template and the model adapter.

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715770, 715769

Abstract:

A computer-implementable method, system, and computer-usable medium designed to move data from a source file to multiple target documents by inserting a copy of an insertion point into each of multiple target files; associating specific source data, from a source file, with the insertion point; and pasting the specific source data into the insertion points that have been inserted into each of the multiple target files.

G06F 17/40
G06F 19/00

US Classification:

705 9

Abstract:

A method, system, and computer program product for autonomically managing a meeting calendar. An Autonomic Meeting Scheduling (AMS) utility detects a set of pre-scheduling data. The AMS utility generates an optimal meeting schedule based upon the set of pre-scheduling data. A meeting invitation is communicated to at least one meeting invitee. The AMS utility detects an invitation reply data from a meeting invitee. Based upon the pre-scheduling data and the invitation reply data, the AMS utility generates and outputs one of at least a meeting probability value (MPV) and a MPV curve. The MPV is a measure of how probable a scheduled meeting will occur. Moreover, a meeting owner may enable the AMS utility to determine whether the MPV has reached a threshold to execute a scheduling decision (i. e. , retain a scheduled meeting, reschedule a meeting, or cancel/extinguish a scheduled meeting).

International Classification:

G06F 9/46

US Classification:

705 9

Abstract:

Method, apparatus, and computer program products for estimating, scheduling, and tracking preparatory work associated with electronic meeting invitations. When a meeting invitation is received and tentatively accepted, preparation time for associated work is estimated programmatically from characteristics of documents associated with the meeting invitation. A floating block of time is created, subject to the constraint that it must be completed before the meeting convenes, and added to the user's electronic calendar.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715793000, 715804000, 715794000

Abstract:

A method of organizing a plurality of windows for display to a user is described. The windows are displayed in a cascade stack. One of the windows is selected as an active window and is displayed in a preferred display state such as a maximized window, a window having a predefined window size or a window at a predetermined location in the display. Once the user no longer wishes to use the active window, the window is returned to the cascade stack in a position dependent on the particular cascade mode selected by the user.

Abstract:

Techniques for customizing and personalizing content views that are provided using content aggregation frameworks (such as portal applications). Content transformations may be provided, such that a component is automatically transformed if copied or moved to a content receiver having a particular type. A visual representation of a content component may change as the component is moved about, responsive to moving within proximity of available receiver locations for the component. Visual indicators may be provided to assist the user in determining where each content component can be copied or moved, and/or how the content component will be represented as a result.
