A user input that includes a final destination and one or more user criteria is received. One or more available paths that satisfy the one or more user criteria are determined by utilizing mapping data. The one or more available paths are displayed within an electronic device. A user selection of a desired path of the one or more available paths is displayed. The user-selected desired path is displayed within a user interface. Traffic data and user data are monitored. A routing event is detected based on monitoring the traffic data and the user data. One or more new paths that satisfy the criteria are generated, based on the monitored traffic data and user data. A user is prompted to select one of the one or more generated new paths. A user selection of at least one of the one or more generated new paths is received.

Methods, systems and computer program products for determining and providing an availability status of an individual in a messaging application are provided. Aspects include obtaining historical usage data for the individual for the messaging application, obtaining location data, activity data and calendar data for the individual, and calculating a current availability status for the individual based on the historical usage data, the location data, the activity data and the calendar data. Aspects also include calculating a predicted future availability status for the individual based on the historical usage data, the location data, the activity data and the calendar data and providing the current availability status and the predicted future availability status to other users of the messaging application.

Setting, visualizing and predicting an availability status of an individual for a messaging application

In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes writing, into a tree content column of a tree table, content for a plurality of rows of the tree table. The content spans multiple hierarchical levels, and the content in each of the rows is commonly aligned within the tree content column. A level-indicating icon is associated with each of the hierarchical levels of the tree table. A first level-indicating icon for a first hierarchical level of the tree table is positioned in two or more distinct rows of the tree table having content in the first hierarchical level, and a second level-indicating icon for a second hierarchical level of the tree table is positioned in at least one row of the tree table having content in the second hierarchical level. The tree table is rendered by a computer processor.

Tree tables for mobile devices and other low resolution displays

A method of displaying web page information. The method includes dividing a web page into sections, displaying on a mobile device having a web browser the web page having the sections, panning to a web page section of interest, and zooming-in to the web page section of interest to enlarge text or images on the web page section of interest while the mobile device browser loads only content for the web page section of interest. The method is performed by one or more computing devices. Also disclosed is a computer program product for displaying web page information.

Web site sectioning for mobile web browser usability

A technique is provided for a graphical user interface on a computer. The technique includes receiving messages individually corresponding to resources being monitored, displaying rows in a table, and generating bar graphs of the messages respectively corresponding to the resources in the rows. Each of the bar graphs displays a color coded scheme to visually distinguish severity of the messages in each of the rows for the resources. The bar graphs display the severity of the messages for one resource per the given row without requiring user intervention to view severities of the messages displayed by the color coded scheme, without requiring user intervention to view a total number of messages for the given row, while maintaining a same row height regardless of the total number of messages for the given row, and without changing a table size including a table height and a table width of the table.

An apparatus and system for seamless transition between WiFi networks (including in particular WiFi Internet networks) includes within a mobile communication apparatus a mobility layer that is tunneled to a mobility server within a network infrastructure. The mobile communications apparatus includes a wireless network capability, a global positioning system capability, an internal network protocol address and a routing capability. The apparatus and system also provide that the mobility layer is programmed to sequentially and automatically tunnel to the mobility server at an available geographically defined WiFi network access location predicated upon a global positioning system determined position of the mobile communication apparatus. Embodiments also provide seamless transitions between WiFi networks and cellular networks.

A computer system and method where text is recognized from a real world image, and this recognized text is used as input data for a processing program selected by a user. A computer system and method where text is recognized from a real world image, and contextual information is used in conjunction with the text to develop a semantic denotation of the recognized text. The contextual information may include GPS location data. The contextual information may include previous images, captured shortly prior to the image with the recognized text. A computer system and method wherein text is recognized from a real world image, then normalized to be in the plane of the image, then translated and then the translated text is made into an image that is anti-normalized and inserted into the original image (or an image similar to the original image). In this way, the translated text will appear realistically in place of the original untranslated text of the real world image.

Conflict resolution of web application keyboard shortcuts implementation includes a web application being loaded in a web browser and application keyboard shortcuts for the web application are registered with the web browser. The web browser identifies application keyboard shortcuts for the web application that conflict with keyboard shortcuts for the web browser. Then the web browser resolves each conflict.
