20090132668 | APPARATUS FOR POST DELIVERY INSTANT MESSAGE REDIRECTION - An instant messaging (IM) server provides post delivery instant message redirection when a first device having a first media access control (MAC) address is logged onto the IM server and subsequently a second device having a second media access control address logs onto the IM server. An instant message is transmitted to a recipient at the first MAC address. The second device is logged onto the IM server. The instant message is retransmitted to the second MAC address of the recipient before the notification that the recipient is typing in the chat window and before the notification that the chat window has been closed. The first device is automatically logged off in response to the second device being logged onto the IM server, and the instant message is not read on the first device before the first device is automatically logged off the IM server. | 05-21-2009 |
20090154980 | DESIGN STRUCTURE FOR CONTROLLING SHARED ACCESS OF A MEDIA TRAY - A design structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium for designing, manufacturing, and/or testing a design for controlling shared access of a media tray is disclosed. The design structure includes operations that include monitoring communications between a virtualized media tray and a computing device currently connected to the virtualized media tray; receiving an access request from a requesting computing device not currently connected to the virtualized media tray; determining, in dependence upon the monitored communications between the virtualized media tray and the computing device currently connected to the virtualized media tray, to switch connection of the virtualized media tray from the computing device currently connected to the virtualized media tray to the requesting computing device; and switching connection of the virtualized media tray from the computing device currently connected to the virtualized media tray to the requesting computing device. | 06-18-2009 |
20090157840 | Controlling Shared Access Of A Media Tray - Methods, apparatus, and products for controlling shared access of a media tray are disclosed that include monitoring communications between a virtualized media tray and a computing device currently connected to the virtualized media tray; receiving an access request from a requesting computing device not currently connected to the virtualized media tray; determining, in dependence upon the monitored communications between the virtualized media tray and the computing device currently connected to the virtualized media tray, to switch connection of the virtualized media tray from the computing device currently connected to the virtualized media tray to the requesting computing device; and switching connection of the virtualized media tray from the computing device currently connected to the virtualized media tray to the requesting computing device. | 06-18-2009 |
20120331396 | AUTOMATED PRIVACY LEVEL SUGGESTIONS FOR SOCIAL NETWORKING - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for the automated suggestion of a privacy level setting for a new connection in a social network. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for automated suggestions of privacy level settings for a new connection in a social network is provided. The method includes receiving a new connection for an end user of a social network and identifying mutual connections between the new connection and the end user. Thereafter, a suggested privacy setting for the new connection can be displayed in a display of a computer based upon privacy settings of the identified mutual connections. Optionally, a selection can be received of a different privacy setting than the suggested privacy setting and the different privacy setting can be established for the new connection. | 12-27-2012 |

20130152157 | AUTOMATIC FILTERING IN SOCIAL NETWORKS - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for automated filtering of content viewing rights in a social network. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for automated filtering of content viewing rights in a social network includes selecting content directed for publication to different members of a social network executing in memory of a host server and computing a context for the content. The method additionally includes applying a rule to the context and to at least one member profile corresponding to one of the members of the social network in order to determine whether or not the content is to be blocked from viewing by the one of the members based upon a relationship between the member profile and the computed context. Thereafter, access to the content by the one of the members is permitted when permitted by the rule. | 06-13-2013 |
