Method For Translucent Online Interaction

View page
US Patent:
6970931, Nov 29, 2005
Filed:
Sep 14, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/662499
Inventors:
Rachel K. E. Bellamy - Bedford NY, US
Jason B. Ellis - Atlanta GA, US
Thomas D. Erickson - Minneapolis MN, US
Wendy A. Kellogg - Yorktown Heights NY, US
Mark R. Laff - Mount Kisco NY, US
Peter K. Malkin - Arsdley NY, US
John T. Richards - Chappaqua NY, US
Philip S. Yu - Chappaqua NY, US
Tracee Wolf - Irvington NY, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F015/16
US Classification:
709227, 709224, 709228, 707 9
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for representing users within an online environment. The method allows users to define environmental parameters for controlling user interaction, define user representation parameters of user data within the environment, capture user data from the users, build an abstract graphical display of the environment, and build a user representation within the abstract graphical display for each user's data.

Optimization Of System Performance Based On Communication Relationship

View page
US Patent:
7039639, May 2, 2006
Filed:
Mar 31, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/282860
Inventors:
Jonathan Paul Brezin - Leonia NJ, US
Wendy Anne Kellogg - Yorktown Heights NY, US
Mark Richard Laff - Mount Kisco NY, US
Philip Shi-lung Yu - Chappaqua NY, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707 10, 707 5, 707 6, 707103, 709206, 709229
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for optimizing information-retrieval related system performance based on users' communication relationships. Users' interactions and relationships with each other are tracked by a ‘relationship analyzer’ that queries multiple heterogeneous information sources, such as e-mail logs, organization charts, calendar entries, phone logs, etc. A data structure is created for each user reflecting the intensity of communication relationship with other users, and modified over time as the data in the information sources change. A relationship group is defined based on the data structure and preference or importance ratings for each type of communication relationship that includes each user's group of highest-priority other users. A derived relationship group may also be defined based on high-priority users of a user's highest-intensity relationships. The relationship analyzer then acts as a proxy for user queries, and may modify queries and create persistent data stores or store the results of queries or sub-queries in order to improve system performance in a variety of ways: for example, to shorten retrieval time, to resolve missing or ambiguous results, to prioritize information for downloading to limited-resource computing devices, or to propagate updated information among closely related users.

System And Method For Optimizing Natural Language Descriptions Of Objects In A Virtual Environment

View page
US Patent:
20090192785, Jul 30, 2009
Filed:
Jan 29, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/021472
Inventors:
Anna Carpenter Cavender - Seattle WA, US
Mark Richard Laff - Goldens Bridge NY, US
Sharon Mary Trewin - Croton-on-Hudson NY, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/27
US Classification:
704 9
Abstract:
A system and method for constructing a natural language description of one or more objects in a virtual environment includes determining a plurality of properties of an object and an environment given a current viewpoint in a virtual environment. An object description is created using the plurality of properties where the object description reflects multiple display characteristics of the object in the virtual environment. Object descriptions in the virtual environment are combined by classifying objects in the virtual environment to condense a natural language description.

US Patent:
6944655, Sep 13, 2005
Filed:
Apr 3, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/541804
Inventors:
Rachel K.E. Bellamy - Bedford NY, US
Jason B. Ellis - Atlanta GA, US
Thomas D. Erickson - Minneapolis MN, US
Wendy A. Kellogg - Yorktown Heights NY, US
Mark R. Laff - Mount Kisco NY, US
Peter K. Malkin - Arsdley NY, US
John T. Richards - Chappaqua NY, US
Philip S. Yu - Chappaqua NY, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F015/173
US Classification:
709223, 709224, 709227, 709228, 370245, 370241, 715535
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method, system and apparatus enabling user-defined, genre-structured interaction online. The present invention enables users to define their own genres, including rules of interaction, as well as rules of enforcement. Genre definitions also can include the specification of roles, parameters, and states. The present invention also facilitates a given user to modify a given genre definition. Allowable modifications include addition, modification, and deletion of parameters and interaction and enforcement rules. The present invention also provides dynamically updated graphical representations of the state of genre instances, these graphical representations definable by the users.
