20110225200 | PRIVACY-PRESERVING METHOD FOR SKIMMING OF DATA FROM A COLLABORATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE - A method and system for harvesting collaboration data in accordance with a privacy policy is provided. In one embodiment, the method comprises defining a privacy policy for collaboration data, said privacy policy including a list of fields associated with the collaboration data to be harvested; harvesting the collaboration data associated with the fields specified as allowable under the privacy policy; transforming the collaboration data associated with the fields specified as allowable if said collaboration data can be transformed in accordance with a set of rules defined in the privacy policy; and storing the harvested collaboration data in a database. | 09-15-2011 |
20120079453 | TASK-BASED EVALUATION OF USER INTERFACES - A system and method for evaluating interfaces includes computing a reference script for a task from a reference interface design and translating the reference script into one or more target action scripts based on a target design. The one or more target action scripts on the target design are executed to produce target metrics. The target metrics are compared to determine whether the target action script successfully translates the reference script. | 03-29-2012 |
20120086724 | METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTING THE RENDERED FIDELITY OF ELEMENTS OF A COMPOSITION - Automatically adjusting rendered fidelity of an element in a composition may include detecting an element added to a composition and determining fidelity of an added element's rendering based on rendering of one or more other elements in the composition. Rendering of the added element may be automatically adjusted to the determined fidelity to match the rendering of said one or more other elements in the composition. | 04-12-2012 |
20120089945 | EFFICIENT NAVIGATION BASED ON IMPORTANCE WITH AUDIO OUTPUT OPTION - A system and method for navigating items includes computing an importance of a plurality of items. The importance is compared to one of a threshold or other items. Upon encountering a next item, a determination to skip the item or stop on the item is made based upon a comparison of the importance. | 04-12-2012 |
20120092375 | IN-BETWEENING INTERACTIVE STATES - Automatically creating a series of intermediate states may include receiving a start state and an end state of a reactive system, identifying one or more components of the start state and the end state and determining one or more events associated with the one or more components. One or more intermediate states between the start state and the end state, and one or more transitions from and to the one or more intermediate states are created using the one or more components of the start state and the end state and the one or more events associated with the one or more components. The one or more intermediate states and the one or more transitions form one or more time-based paths from the start state to the end state occurring in response to applying the one or more events to the associated one or more components. | 04-19-2012 |
20130080947 | MARK-BASED ELECTRONIC CONTAINMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - A mark-based containment system, in one aspect, may include a graphical user interface operable to receive an indication of a mark as a container marking, attribute one or more container attributes to the container marking, and store the container mark and the container attributes associated with the container mark. | 03-28-2013 |
20140215298 | Creating Tag Clouds Based on User Specified Arbitrary Shape Tags - Mechanisms are provided for generating a shape tag cloud display. A user input is received that specifies an arbitrarily hand-drawn shape tag. A set of shape tag equivalence classes is updated based on the received user input to assign the arbitrarily hand-drawn shape tag to a shape tag equivalence class having similar previously entered arbitrarily hand-drawn shape tags. Rankings of the shape tags relative to one another are generated. The shape tag cloud display is generated based on the rankings. A representation of each shape tag within the shape tag cloud display has display characteristics based on the rankings. The shape tag cloud display is then output. | 07-31-2014 |
