Brian Daigle - Marietta GA, US
W. Daniell - Marietta GA, US
Joel Davis - Marietta GA, US
Larry Kent - Loganville GA, US

International Classification:

H04L009/00

US Classification:

713/168000

Abstract:

Brian Daigle - Marietta GA, US

International Classification:

H04L009/00

US Classification:

713/201000

Abstract:

Systems for customizing the privatizing of instant messages preferably comprise a processing device configured to detect a marking of select portions of an instant message as sensitive data. The instant message is parsed for marked sensitive data. An encryption engine encrypts the sensitive data. A modified unencoder is also preferably included for converting the encrypted sensitive data into a data stream that complies with an XML format. Other systems and methods are also provided.

US Classification:

386/096000, 386/098000

Abstract:

A system for an audio stream adaptive frequency comprises an audio capture device for sending audio samples captured from an audio source and an audio playback device for receiving the audio samples. The audio playback device includes a playback buffer and is configured to adjust playback of the audio samples from the playback buffer when the buffer is not within a designated target range. Other systems and methods are also provided.

International Classification:

G06F017/28

US Classification:

704/277000

Abstract:

Systems for translating text messages in an instant messaging system comprise a translation engine for translating text messages into a preferred language of a recipient of the text messages. The systems are preferably configured to send and receive the text messages and to determine whether the text messages that are received in a source language are in the preferred language of the recipients so that the text messages are displayed in the preferred language of the recipients of the text messages. Other systems and methods are also provided.

US Classification:

709/206000, 709/227000

Abstract:

Systems for forwarding incoming instant messages comprise a primary IM processing device configured to send and receive IM messages. The primary IM processing device is further configured to forward incoming IM messages to an available secondary IM processing devices based upon presence information and availability information on a plurality of secondary IM processing devices. A router is configured to route IM messages between the primary IM processing device and the secondary IM processing devices. An IM server is coupled to a communications network and is configured to send and receive presence information from the primary IM processing device and the secondary IM processing devices. The primary IM processing device is further configured to maintain presence information on the secondary IM processing devices including the secondary IM processing devices that were unavailable to receive a forwarded instant message. Other systems and methods are also provided.

US Classification:

709/206000, 709/227000

Abstract:

Systems for saving and retrieving forwarded instant messages comprise a primary IM processing device configured to forward incoming instant messages to an available secondary IM processing device and a storage device accessible to the primary IM storage device. The storage device is configured to capture each instant message sent and received. The primary IM processing device is further configured to retrieve the captured instant messages and to display a transcript of instant messages sent and received on a display device coupled to the primary IM processing device upon de-forwarding of instant messages. Other systems and methods are also provided.
