20080310820 | OPTIMIZING DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER STORAGE SPACE BY COMMERCIAL SKIP MANAGEMENT - A method for storing a program for subsequent playback, includes: receiving an input signal including the program; parsing the input signal to provide at least one segment of commercial content and at least one segment of program content; indexing a segment list with segment information related to each segment; and storing each segment and the segment list for input to a playback device. A method for playback and a computer program product are provided. | 12-18-2008 |
20090138556 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING QUICK RESPONSE REPLIES ON A DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM - A system and method for implementing quick response replies on a data processing system. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a user drafts a current message within a current window of an instant messaging (IM) client, wherein the current message is targeted to a current user. In response to receiving a new message when the current message is partially drafted, the user drafts a new reply message to respond to the new message while preserving the partially-drafted message. The IM client sends the new reply message to respond to the new message. The user completes the partially-drafted current message and the IM client sends the completed current message to the current user. | 05-28-2009 |
20090287776 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOGENERATED EMAIL FOLLOW-UP - A system and method for transmitting an electronic mail message to one or more intended recipients, which allows the user to designate that an electronic mail message contains a request for information which requires a reply from the one or more intended recipients, monitors electronic mail messages incoming to the sender to detect whether a reply has been received within the response period, and upon receiving a reply from any of the one or more intended recipients, presents the reply to the sender with one or more user-selectable icons which allow the sender to accept the reply as sufficient or request more information from the one or more intended recipients in response to selection of a user-selectable icon. | 11-19-2009 |
20090300092 | ENHANCING REAL-TIME PERFORMANCE FOR JAVA APPLICATION SERVING - A method, system, and computer-readable medium with executable code for enhancing real-time performance of a client device connected to a java virtual machine by incorporating a java proxy server. Java routing logic of a java proxy server is used to receive a request from a client device to access a java virtual machine. The java proxy server may use the java routing logic to select a java virtual machine from among multiple accessible java virtual machines. The java proxy server selects the java virtual machine that has the greatest amount of free memory, and is not performing a garbage collection operation. Once a java virtual machine is chosen, incoming client device connections are routed to a chosen java virtual machine. Additionally, the java routing logic may instruct one or more of the multiple java virtual machines to only perform garbage collection operations when idle, and when no other java virtual machines are performing garbage collection operations. | 12-03-2009 |
20100057881 | Migration of a Guest from One Server to Another - Systems, methods and media for migration of a guest from one server to another are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first server, while hosting the guest, receives a signal from the second server that the migration is to occur. The first server presents the memory used by the guest as a virtual disk. The second server accesses this disk and copies its contents to the second server over the storage area network. The first server suspends operation of the guest, and after the memory of the guest is copied to the second server, the second server resumes operation of the guest. | 03-04-2010 |
20100241767 | Migrating Domains from One Physical Data Processing System to Another - A system and method for migrating domains from one physical data processing system to another are provided. With the system and method, domains may be assigned direct access to physical I/O devices but in the case of migration, the I/O devices may be converted to virtual I/O devices without service interruption. At this point, the domain may be migrated without limitation. Upon completion of the migration process, the domain may be converted back to using direct physical access, if available in the new data processing system to which the domain is migrated. Alternatively, the virtualized access to the I/O devices may continue to be used until the domain is migrated back to the original data processing system. Once migration back to the original data processing system is completed, the access may be converted back to direct access with the original physical I/O devices. | 09-23-2010 |
