Abstract:
A financial transaction system detects an identifier for a user requesting a transaction at an interface of the financial transaction system. The financial transaction system accesses from the electronic message service provider for the user using the identifier, at least one electronic message addressed to the user and sent to the user over a network for delivery to the user by the electronic message service provider at at least one system accessible via the network and logged into using the identifier. The accessed electronic message is delivered to the user at the interface for the financial transaction system.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for obtaining a logical unit. A request is sent for the logical unit. In the depicted examples, the request is sent to a multicast IP address. Responses to the request for the logical unit are received from a number of responders. A responder is identified from the set of responders to form a selected responder. The selected responder is identified based on at least one connection metric between the data processing system and the set of responders. The logical unit is retrieved from the selected responder.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for authorizing execution of an application on the data processing system. A request is received to execute the application, wherein the request originates from a remote data processing system and wherein the request includes a digital certificate and the application. The digital certificate is verified in response to receiving the request. Responsive to verifying the digital certificate, a digital digest is calculated for the application to form a calculated digital digest. The calculated digital digest is compared with a set of digital digests from a trusted source. The application is executed if a match between the calculated digital digest and set of digital digests occurs.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To instruct the generation of a virtual pointing device which can be inactivated by making an instruction so that the virtual pointing device exits from an inactive state and the behavior of a hand on the virtual pointing device calls a command. SOLUTION: A virtual pointing device is converted from an obvious inactive state into a hidden inactive state. After a user-specified time is elapsed, this time delay is considered to mean that the virtual pointing device is not needed any more. Once the arrangement of a hand on a touch screen 200 is detected, the virtual pointing device is put back from a hidden inactive state and drawn below a hand. Thus, an instruction is so made that the virtual pointing device is made to exit from the inactive state and the behavior of the hand on the virtual pointing device calls a command.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for correcting media data having defects by using a network. SOLUTION: A media apparatus includes a processor, a memory, a network adaptor, a detachable media interface, an error correction module, and a communication module. A network apparatus allows the media apparatus to connect to the network and a server. The detachable media interface allows the user to link detachable media to the media apparatus. After the user inserts the detachable media into the detachable media interface, the processor and the error correction module check the detachable media about a physical error. When the number of detected errors exceeds a threshold value, the media apparatus makes an inquiry about error correction data with respect to the server via the network adaptor and the communication module. The error correction data can be used in the media apparatus, and data stored in the detachable media can be successfully processed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system to simultaneously execute plural operating systems from the same shared system resource on different computers. SOLUTION: Each machine reads a master boot record without reservation and decides partition of an operating system to be booted. Each machine performs the reservation of basic exclusive writing continuation to access operating system boot partition next. Each machine continuously performs another reservation of basic exclusive writing continuation to access the operating system partition itself. Different pieces of operating system partitions are allocated to each of the machines even when they executes the same operating system.
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:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and device for obtaining status information about an active process in a grid and to provide a computer instruction. SOLUTION: A job identifier is received from a remote node in response to the submission of a job to the remote node on the grid from a data processing system. The job identifier is stored in a set of job identifiers. The set of job identifiers is used to form a set of job status request in response to a request of obtaining the status of the job submitted from the data processing system, and a job status request is submitted for each job identifier in one job identifier about the active process. A response to one set of job status requests is received, and the response is then presented. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
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
