Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for processing information items. Processing comprises one of context filtering, context prioritizing, or both context filtering and context prioritizing. In some embodiments the set of context items form which processing criteria are derived includes a user's calendar or appointments, schedule changes, exceptions, and the like.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for evaluating the importance of an event to a person and taking action if the level of importance meets or exceeds one threshold, but is below or only meeting another; attempting to contact at least one person if the level of importance meets or exceeds a threshold; or attempting to contact at least one person using a first way to do so if the level of importance meets or exceeds a threshold, and selecting and using a second way to contact the at least one person if the at least one person has not responded within a period of time after using the first way.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for attempting to contact at least one person in response to an event if the level of importance of the event to a first person meets or exceeds one threshold.
Abstract:
A method and system for dynamically sizing a dedicated memory in a shared memory buffer architecture. At initial boot, system BIOS programs control register to allocate a dedicated memory of a desired size. The size of the dedicated memory allocated is dependent on the performance requirements. If after initial boot, the performance requirements change, it may necessitate a change in dedicated memory size. By reprogramming the control registers, the dedicated memory size is dynamically changed without any manual manipulation of internal components.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for evaluating the importance of an event to a person and taking action if the level of importance meets or exceeds one threshold (310), but is below or only meeting another; attempting to contact at least one person if the level of importance meets or exceeds a threshold (330); or attempting to contact at least one person using a first way to do so if the level of importance meets or exceeds a threshold (350), and selecting and using a second way to contact the at least one person if the at least one person has not responded within a period of time after using the first way (360).
