Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for printing a plurality of Web pages associated with each other. SOLUTION: The apparatus and the method can be provided as printing plug-in modules for creating visual expressions of a Web page group associated with Web pages in displaying, when the apparatus and the system are called. The Web page group is displayed in a tree structure, and pages in displaying become the roots of the tree. By displaying the Web page group in the tree structure, the order of mutual relations of the Web pages can be clarified. Which Web pages are to be printed can be selected by the user.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, a system, and a program for dynamically mapping a chat session invitation history. SOLUTION: A chat controller facilitating a chat session allows a chat participant to invite an additional user to join the chat session. The chat controller dynamically generates mapping of chat participants for graphically showing respective correspondences between respective invited additional users and respective chat participants inviting them. The mapping is displayed on a user interface of the current participant of the invited additional user. The displayed mapping is dynamically updated to reflect an additional invitation history when the chat session is continued. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a server system to support at least one web page for download to a client systems, and to allow a web page to offer multiple products for purchase. SOLUTION: Responsive to the server system detecting a particular product selection, the server system downloads, to the particular client system, a first package offer comprising a selected product and a second product from among vendor-selected products at a first price at a first discounted rate used for purchase of both the selected product and the second product. In addition, the server system includes a selectable option for replacing the first package offer in the download of the first package offer. Responsive to detecting, at the server system, a user selection of the selectable option, the server system creates an alternative product package offer for purchase of both the client-selected product and a third product from among a different set of vendor-selected products and allows the user to select selection of purchase.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus, system and method for canceling an already transmitted e-mail message. SOLUTION: After an e-mail message is prepared by a sender, the message can be stored in a computing system at the time of its transmission to recipients. Generally, the e-mail message contains a list of destination recipients. Then, a notification message, instead of an actual e-mail message, is generated and transmitted to the recipients (and to the sender). The notification message allows the recipients to automatically access the stored e-mail message. When the sender desires to cancel the message, the user can access the message and modify the list of recipients to exclude any number of recipients, as well as modify the text of the e-mail message. Any recipient whose e-mail address has been excluded will no longer be allowed to access the e-mail message. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for port scan protection. A reply data packet having a modified transmission control protocol header is generated to form a modified reply data packet, in response to detecting a port scan. The modified reply data packet will elicit a response from a recipient of the modified data packet. The reply data packet is sent to a first Internet protocol address associated with the port scan. A second Internet protocol address is identified from a header of the response to the modified reply data packet. The second Internet protocol address is an actual Internet protocol address of a source of the port scan. All network traffic from the second Internet protocol address may be blocked to prevent an attack on any open ports from the source of the port scan.
Abstract:
In an interactive display interface, an implementation for highlighting all icons in any set of a plurality of the icons, wherein each icon in the set is within a predetermined distance of an approaching pointer or cursor. In other words, the point of the pointer or cursor may be considered to be surrounded by a circular halo with a radius of said predetermined distance. The user moves the cursor in a standard manner. However, if the icons that the moving cursor is approaching are so densely spaced that more than one icon comes within the halo, then all of the icons within this set of the plurality of icons is highlighted to give the user a more distinct choice. The highlighting of each of the highlighted icons is ended when the pointer moves outside of the predetermined distance or halo radius.
