Abstract: A user of a remote computer accesses a target computer (e.g., the user's hom e PC) via the Internet. To initiate the protocol, the user launches an application which, via the Internet, sends a special request to the user's home e-mail address. If the home computer is not currently connected to the Internet, the user's Internet Service Provider (ISP) dials a telephone numbe r for the home computer. The home computer automatically answers, and the ISP sends authentication information to the computer to establish an Internet connection. With the connection established, an IP address is sent back to t he user, which can then be used to invoke X-10 functions, telnet sessions, or other activities with the target computer.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for multi-source, multi-destination data transfers that include identifying a plurality of destination points having destination contexts in one or more destination objects; selecting source content for transfer; displaying destination contexts for the destination points; and directing source content to at least one destination point in dependence upon the displayed destination contexts. In typical embodiments, identifying destination points includes recording each identified destination point and storing in association with each recorded destination point a copy of a destination context for each recorded destination point.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product to facilitate royalty collection with respect to online distribution of electronically published material over a computer network. In one embodiment, a method for managing use of a digital file (that includes content subject to copyright protection on behalf of some content provider) begins by establishing a count of a number of permitted copies of the digital file. In response to a given protocol, a copy of the digital file is then selectively transferred from a source to a target. Thus, for example, the source and target may be located on the same computer with the source being a disk storage device and the target being a rendering device (e.g., a printer, a display, a sound card or the like). The method logs an indication each time the digital file is transferred from the source to a target rendering device, and the count is decremented upon each transfer. When the count reaches a given value (e.g., zero), the file is destroyed or otherwise prevented from being transferred from the source device. The indications logged are transferred to a management server to facilitate payment of royalties to the content provider.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for collecting data on traffic conditions from a distributed automotive computing system having a plurality of automotive computing systems. Data regarding traffic conditions is collected from each of the plurality of distributed automotive computing systems, wherein each of the plurality of automotive computing systems is located in a plurality of automobiles, wherein the data is collected data. The collected data is compared with current data regarding traffic conditions. Changes present between the collected data regarding traffic conditions with the current data regarding traffic conditions is identified. The changes are sent to selected automotive computing systems within the plurality of automotive computing systems.

Abstract: A method of keeping files current in a computer system comprises the steps of determining if a source identifier exists within a file 330, checking the source periodically for a newer version of a file 350 and downloading it to replace a file on the PC 360. Preferably, if no source identifier exists within a file, a source reference can be attached to the file 340. The source identifier may also be located in an extended attribute of the file. The source identifier may be an URL. The source may be checked for a newer version whenever the file is opened or initiated by a user. The periodic checking of the file may be a user defined time interval. The user may be provided within an indication that a new file exists and prompted to replace the existing file with a newer version.

Abstract: A method for conveying a location of a product within a controlled environment. An infra-red (IR) light emitting diode (LED) is installed at a location within the controlled environment and IR light is projected. The IR light projected is first modified to include digitized product information and location. The IR light is broadcasted in a predetermined area to permit a customer having an IR receiver to locate said product. Especially suitable for use in a supermarket or other retail environment.
