Abstract: A client computer (102) with a scanner (118) capable of scanning objects (115) for a code (117). The client computer (102) scans the object (115) of interest and translates the code (117) into a URL (Uniform Ressource Locator) that specifies both a server computer (122, 160) and the location within the server of information that is relevant to the object (115). The client computer (102) transmits the URL to the server computer (122, 160), receives the information related to the object (115) from the server computer (122, 160), and communicates the information to the customer.

Abstract: The performance of a given task is optimized by utilizing an intelligent agent (42) having a plurality of program modules (42') suited to perform the computer task but having varied degrees of domain knowledge. Based upon an objective criteria that may be determined for a given situation, one or more of the program modules (42') in the intelligent agent (42) may be selected to perform the task, thereby optimizing the performance of the computer task for a wide variety of situations.

Abstract: An intelligent agent (100) and method of negotiating incorporating a number of features, used alone or in combination, to enhance the productivity, security, efficiency and responsiveness of the agent (100) in negotiations with other parties. One feature where an agent (100) is resident on a remote system (60) and in communication with a client system (20) incorporates randomization of one or more aspects of an agent's (100) behaviour to disguise its negotiation strategy from other negotiating parties (95) and thereby prevent such parties from gaining a negotiating advantage at the expense of the agent (100). Another feature incorporates limiting unproductive negotiations by constraining one or more aspects of an agent's behavior based upon the behavior of a negotiating party (95) and/or the duration of the transaction.

Abstract translation: 智能代理和谈判方法包含了单独或组合使用的多项功能，以提高代理商与其他方的谈判的生产力，安全性，效率和响应能力。 一个特征是将代理人行为的一个或多个方面随机化，以掩盖其谈判方面的谈判策略，从而防止这些各方以代理人为代价获得谈判的优势。 另一个特征包括限制非生产性谈判，通过基于谈判方的行为和/或交易的持续时间约束代理人行为的一个或多个方面，从而使非生产性谈判更可能终止。 附加特征包括动态值确定，以通过对从多个信息源检索的估计值进行加权和归一化来确定期望事务的期望值。 此外，另外的特征包括动态值确定，其基于相关和期望交易的接近度对相关交易的价值进行加权和归一化。

Abstract: An intelligent agent (42) and its client (10) communicate using a selector known by both parties to generate and interpret messages and thereby effectively disguise confidential information transmitted in the messages from third parties. Moreover, a neural network is used to implement the decision logic and/or the message disguising functions of an agent (42) such that the logic employed in such functions is not readily reverse compiled or scanned by third parties.

Abstract: A censoring browser method and apparatus are provided for Internet viewing. A user profile (118A) including user selected censoring parameters (700) is stored. Data packet contents are received and compared with the user selected censoring parameters (700). Responsive to the comparison, the received data packet contents are processed and selectively displayed responsive to the user selected censoring parameters (700). The user selected censoring parameters (700) includes user selected censored words and word fragments (702), and user selected categories (706). Compared word and word fragments matching user selected censored words and word fragments (702) can be removed and selectively replaced with predefined characters or acceptable substitute words (712). Tallies of weights for user selected categories are accumulated (614) and compared with used selected threshold values (612). A predefined message can be displayed (318) responsive to an accumulated tally exceeding a user selected threshold value (316) without displaying the received data packet contents.

Abstract: Ein Verfahren, System und Computerprogrammprodukt für die Spracheingabe von Informationen werden in den veranschaulichenden Ausführungsformen bereitgestellt. Eine Umwandlungsregel wird auf eine Spracheingabe angewandt. Eine Eingabefeld-Eingabe wird erzeugt, wobei die Umwandlungsregel es ermöglicht, dass die Spracheingabe von der Eingabefeld-Eingabe unterscheidbar ist, und wobei die Spracheingabe die Eingabefeld-Eingabe verschleiert. Die Eingabefeld-Eingabe wird für eine Anwendung bereitgestellt, wobei das Eingabefeld dazu dient, ein Dateneingabefeld in der Anwendung auszufüllen.
