Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and system for scheduling an event based on a user-selected electronic message. The method comprises accessing a user-selected electronic message precipitating the event from an electronic message in-box, scanning the electronic message for information associated with the event, determining the parameters of the event based on information associated with the event, and automatically scheduling the event in an electronic calendar, using the determined parameters.

In a communication system, a delayed call dialing processing system and method are described. The delayed call dialing processing system includes logic that allows a caller wishing to call a callee to delegate the task of monitoring presence information to detect when the callee is present to accept the call. The delayed call dialing process system further allows the caller to delegate the task of monitoring the delayed call and then makes the delegated task visible to the caller to enable the caller to either reschedule the delayed call or cancel the delayed call after the call has been queued for delay dialing. When presence information indicates that the caller and the callee are available, the calls are put through and bridged.

A system and method for delivering parking information is disclosed. Embodiments of the present claimed invention utilize video imaging to analyze the availability of parking spaces. More specifically, a computer is used to process video images of a parking location to determine if a parking space is available.

An automobile equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver and an on-board computer is configured to transmit the automobile's location and direction of motion to a central server. The central server is configured to identify the automobile, the route taken by the automobile. The central server obtains location information or geo-related information pertinent to the route taken by the automobile, filters the data according to certain criteria, and then delivers an audible version of the filtered data to an audio output device such as a radio receiver located in the automobile.

A document-centered user interface architecture for a computer system employs parts as the fundamental building blocks of all documents. All data is stored in the system as a part, which is comprised of contents and an associated editor. The contents and the functionality of the editor are available to the user wherever the part is located, whether in a document, on a desktop or in a folder. Parts function as containers for other parts, thereby facilitating the compilation and editing of multimedia or compound documents.

A document-centered user interface architecture for a computer system employs parts as the fundamental building blocks of all documents. All data is stored in the system as a part, which is comprised of contents and an associated editor. The contents and the functionality of the editor are available to the user wherever the part is located, whether in a document, on a desktop or in a folder. Parts function as containers for other parts, thereby facilitating the compilation and editing of multimedia or compound documents. When material from one part is inserted into another part, the computer system automatically determines whether the added material is incorporated into the intrinsic contents of the receiving part or embedded as a separately identifiable part.
