Appl. No.:

10/042192

Inventors:

Thangaraj Veerappan - Cambridge MA, US

International Classification:

US Classification:

715/536000, 715/530000

Abstract:

A system, method, and processor readable medium for determining a language in which a document is created. After receiving an electronic document, an appropriate character set encoding (or encodings) for the text of the electronic document is determined. The character set encoding(s) indicate a list of potential languages in which the electronic document is created. The potential languages may be identified using bit flags. The number of potential languages for which an electronic document is created may be increased or decreased according to predetermined criteria. The number of potential languages may be adjusted by comparing groups of characters (n-grams) included in the electronic document with entries in a look-up table. If n-grams are located in the look-up table, bit flags associated with the n-grams may be logically ANDed together. This process may be repeated until only a single bit flag remains. The remaining bit flag identifies the language in which the electronic document is created.

Abstract:

A system and method for transforming a thread of email messages into a real-time e-meeting. Collaborative processing between asynchronous and synchronous components are controlled through a UI which controls the selection of threaded messages and initiates an e-meeting including all the recipients of the thread, each participant may privately view the full content of the message by selecting the message, and the moderator has the option to terminate the real-time meeting. Any participant who accepts the invitation can see a synchronized inbox that is limited to the selected thread. A final summary of the decisions is then sent as a final message in the thread, thereby being captured in everyone's inbox.
