A graphical user interface is provided for defining parameters for a process to be executed by a computer. Additionally, methods, systems and software applications are provided for presenting the graphical user interface to a user. In one implementation, the graphical user interface comprises at least two tab panel elements, each tab panel element comprising means for entering a set of parameters that are usable to carry out the process. Each set of parameters may be different to and independent of other sets of parameters. Further, only the set of parameters of a selected tab panel element may be relevant for carrying out the process on the computer.

A system and process for graphically displaying the results of a standard electronic search to a user on a display device via an interactive search results window in which the user views and refines search results items using a tree format. In general, the tree has a first level that indicates how the search results may be refined. The second level of the tree shows what subsets (what) are available for a particular refining method. The third level shows how the already refined (by the second level) results may be refined further. This is repeatedly applied with odd-numbered levels of the tree indicating how the results may be refined, and even-numbered levels indicating what subsets are available. In addition to the tree, the search results window also includes a listing of the search results items associated with a user-selected portion of the tree.

POSE is a portable search engine that is designed to be a search platform. A search platform is a search engine that runs on all the devices, on all the platforms, parses most of the data formats, regardless of platform and is Unicode-based. POSE runs on portable and miniaturized drives and devices such as portable removable drives, cellular phones, PDAs, nano drives and any device that has a portable hard drive embedded. The idea of POSE is that device, search and data should occupy the same space. In this regard, search moves into the devices rather than stay on the desktop. Moving search into these devices makes search as portable as the data carried on these portable drives and devices. To intelligently manage the flow of information within and among devices and between devices that are connected to public information systems, POSE creates a series of device registries, federation of devices, device knowledgebase and rules files. Collectively these files moderate the exchange of data among devices, identify device owners, define what a device is and what its capabilities are and help to enable data conversion from one device's format to another.

A method of providing an electronic business card (EBC) access and organization service on the Web. The cardholder database is accessible and searchable from any browser connected to the Internet or the EBC service may be installed behind a conventional firewall and thus accessible only to intranet users. The service thus provides easy access to cardholder contact information with privacy assured by use of integrated access restrictions. Access to and delivery of contact information by the service is not limited to a Web browser interface as commonly known today. The service provides multi-mode access and/or data delivery interfaces. The service also provides an export feature that formats search results into a pre-defined file structure readable by a conventional contact management programs. Custom export file formats may also be defined provide even wider connectivity and cross-platform utility. Access to individual records is controlled at both the record level and the field level, with multiple privacy levels for each field, in addition to the well-known “public” and “private” levels. Users having certain permissions are permitted to read a defined group of records, though not necessarily all fields in each record. A location tracking feature is also provided to allow the cardholder to rapidly designate a pre-defined contact location. Alternately, the cardholder may define a temporary contact location not normally stored in the database system. Electronic mail sent by the cardholder is automatically formatted to contain a signature hypertext link directing recipients of the email to the EBC service. This hyperlink enables the recipient of the email to rapidly access the EBC system to locate the cardholder and/or obtain additional information.

An information search system that enables efficient collection of information and support of formation of groups which people who share a same interest can join over a network. This system includes an intermediate server and a central server, wherein the intermediate server retains indexes for searching the content database on the central server. Users issue a search request to the intermediate server and search results are returned and recorded on the intermediate server as a search history. The search history is shared by users and used as references from which retrievable content can be selected.

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a request to access an electronic document collection that integrates a plurality of electronic sub-documents that are each of one of a plurality of defined document types. The method also includes retrieving information that is associated with the document collection, wherein the retrieved information identifies a first sub-document of the plurality of sub-documents using a first non-address identifier, and identifying a first software application that is configured to provide access to the first sub-document. The method additionally includes initiating a first connection with a first server that causes execution of the identified first software application and that, using the first non-address identifier, provides access to the first sub-document. The method further includes integrating access to the first sub-document into the document collection through the initiated first connection with the first server that causes execution of the first software application.

In one embodiment, the present system recognizes a user's speech input using an automatically generated probabilistic context free grammar for street names that maps all pronunciation variations of a street name to a single canonical representation during recognition. A tokenizer expands the representation using position-dependent phonetic tokens and an intersection classifier classifies an intersection, despite the presence of recognition errors and incomplete street names.

Systems, methods, and devices for managing appointments. A sensor module receives sensor data input. The sensor data is then analyzed by an analysis module which determines if actions are required. In the event actions are required, a scheduling module checks a user's calendar to determine if a suitable opening is available. In the event a suitable opening is available, the opening is confirmed with the user. If the user confirms the opening, an appointment is entered in the user's calendar. If the action required needs external assistance, such as a mechanic, the scheduling module also checks the relevant calendar for the external assistance. Suitable openings are then found in both the user's calendar and the relevant external assistance calendar. If these openings match, the user is then contacted to confirm if the opening is acceptable. If the opening is acceptable, the appointment is then entered in both calendars.
