    Abstract: A method, system, and program are described in a client computer system for automatically processing information received by the client computer system from a server computer system over a network. A user utilizing a client computer system is permitted to subscribe to a service offered by a server computer system for pushing information to the client computer system. The information is pushed from the server computer to the client computer system at a time specified by the server computer system. The information is stored in the client computer system until a time specified by the client computer system. The information is automatically processed utilizing the client computer system without involvement by the user at the time specified by the client computer system. In various embodiments, the information can be automatically printed, faxed, or emailed utilizing the client computer system without involvement by the user at the time specified by the client computer system.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method, and program for displaying pages in a viewer program on a computer display monitor. The viewer program displays an application window. The viewer program downloads a first and second pages from one of multiple servers over a network and then automatically concurrently displays the first page in a first pane and the second page in a second pane in the application window according to predefined settings specifying how pages are to be displayed in the first and second panes. The viewer program then downloads a third page from one of multiple servers over the network and automatically concurrently displays the third page in one of the first and second panes and one of the first and second pages in the other pane according to the predefined settings. A fourth page is then downloaded from one of multiple servers over the network and the viewer program then automatically concurrently displays the third and fourth pages in the first and second panes according to the predefined settings.

    Abstract: Provided is a method, system, and program for analyzing data within a personal information management program. Position records are provided in a database for at least one user. Each position record includes a time period value and event information indicating an event that occurred with respect to the user during the time period. The time period value and event information in each position record is based on time information and position coordinates generated by a wireless device associated with the user that indicate a location of the wireless device for time periods. The database is queried to determine position records for one user that satisfy at least one search criteria. Information is generated characterizing data in the determined position records.

    Abstract: A central database on a server 504, accessible to registered users only, contains a full set of personal information on an individual. A smart card 500 stores a unique identifier (avatar) which may be used to gain access to information held on the server 504. Identity information may be retrieved by smart card readers 502 issued to registered users if smart card validity is confirmed by an authentication service. Alternatively, a full set of personal information on an individual is contained within a smart card 502. An access list may be used to ensure that only smart card readers with the highest levels of access can retrieve the most sensitive information. At least two avatars, horizontal and vertical, are used. The former provides a changeable identity and the latter a non-changeable. Very low levels of identification are contained in memory on the smart card 500.

    Abstract: A method, computer system and computer program optimizes the efficiency with which a serial electronic publication is distributed to subscribers by determining, for a subscriber, a status for a particular issue of said serial electronic publication and responsive to the step of determining, either transmitting or not transmitting the particular issue. It preferably includes a push engine and a status manager. The push engine transmits a first issue to a subscriber. The status manager determines whether the first issue has been opened and allows the push engine to transmit a second issue only after determining that the first issue has been opened. Alternatively, the status manager associates a vacation setting with at least one subscriber. The push engine identifies one or more non-vacationing subscribers, by reference to the vacation setting, and electronically transmits issues of the publication only to non-vacationing subscribers.

    Abstract: The method uses a server with a Web address which executes the search and generates documents, the results of the file address search including the Web address of the search result indicating the placement of files spread amongst interconnected Internet servers and the generation of the document indicating the search results. Method for classifying searched for data files which has the following stages: (a) association of a key word with each file, a physical location for each file being addressed by a file address;association of an audience indice with at least a pair comprising the file address and key word. A file address can have several associated key words and an audience indice for each file address and key word pair;execution of a search request with search key words;reception of search results for file addresses which have at least an associated key word which corresponds to at least a search key word in response to the search request, and;classification of the results as a function of the audience indice associated with each file address and key word pair in which the key word corresponds the search key word.

    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product which allows a user to view and navigate reduced-content web pages on a wireless connection. Upon the user's selection of specific web pages, the pages are then delivered to the user by a less expensive connection, as in a conventional wired internet connection. The delivery is accomplished by several methods, according to different embodiments, including by an electronic mail message, by "push" delivery to an internet- connected data processing system, and by providing a set of hyperlinks to the wired internet connection which reference the selected pages, among other methods. The user is thereby able to view, on a second internet-connected data processing system, the data selected when using the wireless internet- connected data processing system.

    Abstract: A set of program elements (e.g., transcoders) are grouped together as an administrative unit. Instead of caching the individual outputs of each program element, preferably only the aggregate output of the set of program elements, taken as a whole, is cached. The inventive technique enables the effective re-use of intermediate content. In an illustrative client-server based implementation involving a transcoding service located at a server, the cached information may be shared across multiple server instances to obviate redundant processing. With the present invention, a caching mechanism in a complex software system may be extended in a user-configurable manner by setting up optimal intermediate caching points that are defined by groups of programs used in long computations.
