Machine-assisted methods and apparatus are disclosed for allowing individual users to develop and organize respective activity descriptions and supporting journal items according to their respective preferences. Cross-referencing mappings may be created between activity descriptions and journal items in order to find, filter and organize disparate data. Cross-referencing mappings may also be created between the developed activity descriptions of different users so they can better understand each others perspectives and possibly overlapping goals. Different users' activity descriptions can be presented to a user even while the user may be disconnected from communication networks. Hierarchical relationships between activity descriptions may be provided. Machine-assisted means may be provided for creating work-sharing, work-delegating and/or informational sharing agreements between different users. Further machine-implemented means may be provided for automatically and asynchronously updating users on shared activities by other users even though all users are not necessarily connected to one or more respective communication networks at same time.

An architecture, system, and method are provided for a commitment loop solution for on demand business activity management. A Business Performance Management (BPM) loop is defined as a set of nodes each relating to different tasks for processing performance management trigger data generated by a business entity in real time, where the beginning or sensing element of the loop is triggered by a token (representing a business event from a business process) and the ending or executing element provides a business action to be implemented by the business entity. The token is passed from node to node sequentially in a particular order around the loop. Processing of the data represented by the token is governed by policies, which can be changed dynamically and follow a life cycle. On demand business activity management of larger aggregates of business entities (i.e. enterprises and value chains) is achieved by extending this architecture by building upon the BPM loops of the component entities to form a BPM net, adding nodes as necessary. This architecture, system and method can be implemented at multiple levels of granularity from operational or tactical business activities to enterprise wide strategic activities.

The invention discloses an interaction method based on a mobile classroom. Operation of a teacher end includes the steps that a teacher end logs into a system, selects a textbook, controls student ends, displays course content on a full screen, takes notes, underlines key points, records and uses an eraser on a page of the book needing to be explained, can add or delete labels on a certain page of the textbook, interacts with the student ends, evaluates students, releases knowledge points and finishes a class. Operation of the student ends includes the steps that the student ends log into the system, select the textbook and display the textbook on full screens, wherein the content displayed by the student ends and the content displayed by the teacher end are consistent; the student ends take notes and conduct other operation; the student ends check evaluation from a teacher after taking participation in interaction; the student ends resolve the knowledge points, and then the class is over. The teacher end can check online conditions of the students in real time and can control textbooks of the students, pages are turned according to the teaching process of the teacher, the concentration degree of the students in the class is improved, the students keep in step with the teacher, learning efficiency of the students is improved, and the teaching system has the teaching activity management function.

The invention provides a method for preventing self-starting of an application. The method comprises the steps of monitoring the starting behavior of the application of a native machine, intercepting an execution function used for executing the application starting task in the activity management service progress and obtaining the package name of the application, and stopping the starting behavior of the application when the package name of the application is not an allowable item in a preset data record. Correspondingly, the invention provides a device for preventing self-starting of the application. By the adoption of the method and device for preventing self-starting of the application, the self-starting behavior and stubborn self-starting behavior of the application can be prevented, so that electricity consumption of a mobile terminal is reduced and operating speed is increased.

An online and offline communication processing and tracking using data processing and data/voice networks is described. A phone address from a phone address number pool is automatically assigned to a first entity. A call quality rating is determined and recorded. A call from a caller directed to the phone address is received at a call bridging system coupled to at least one network, wherein the call is associated with call signaling information. Based at least in part on the call quality associated with the caller call, the caller call is assigned to a first location in a call queue. An outbound call is generated from the call bridging system and the inbound and the outbound calls are bridged. One or more parameters of the bridged call are compared to the call quality rating. An indication is recorded regarding the successful bridging of the calls in association with an entity identifier.

A method provides a recommendation for a cloud configuration for deploying a service. In response to receiving a service request, a database is searched for a cloud configuration. The search is performed by acquiring a resource usage pattern for the service. The resource usage pattern is mapped to a multidimensional space, which is searched for a previously deployed cloud configuration having a similar resource usage pattern. In response to finding a previously deployed cloud configuration, the activity management is determined for the previously deployed cloud configuration. A recommendation is made based on the activity management.

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to synchronize multiple devices. In regards to a method, an indication is received that a view of a task is presented by a first device. The method causes state information to be provided to a second device to permit the second device to be synchronized with the first device and to present a different view of the task than that presented by the first device. The method also receives information relating to a change in state of the task that is provided by one of the devices while a first view of the task is presented thereupon. Further, the method causes updated state information to be provided to another one of the devices to cause the other device to remain synchronized and to update a second view of the task, different than the first view of the task, that is presented.

An adaptive integration activity management framework for on demand business process integration provides a mechanism to enable easy integration of legacy and new applications. The framework minimizes the effort need to integrate a new application into an existing business process environment such that the new activity is a “plug-in” into an action manager by implementing a standard adaptation layer. Activity integration is implemented in the principle of “on-demand” because it is invoked as required, so the communication and collaboration between partners become much more flexible.
