摘要： Computer method and apparatus represent users by respective avatars in a subject virtual environment. The invention system displays the avatars in the virtual environment, and for each avatar, displays in proximity to the avatar, a respective trail of virtual contact objects. The respective trail of virtual contact objects is associated with the user represented by the avatar and serves as a visual indication of presence and activeness (level of activity) of the user in the subject virtual environment. Each virtual contact object in the respective trail stores and provides user contact data of the user and is persistable upon end-user command.

摘要： Computer-based group brainstorming system and method are disclosed. The invention system and method provide a certain area (e.g., a depicted room) as a brainstorming area in a virtual environment. A processor engine enables brainstorming sessions of multiple users in the certain area. For a given brainstorming session, the engine (i) indicates each user in the brainstorming session, and (ii) indicates communications (e.g., chat bubbles, votes, etc.) of each user in the brainstorming session. Color-coding of the users/avatars and communications may be used. Users may arrange indicia (e.g., indicators of project tasks) in the certain area in a manner that provides work flow or work assignments to users. Snapshots of the different states of a brainstorming session are enabled. User interaction with the artifacts of the brainstorming session remains active in the snapshots. Artifacts of a brainstorming session may later be reconstituted (reinstated) from a reloading of a snapshot into a subsequent session.
摘要翻译：公开了基于计算机的集体头脑风暴系统和方法。本发明的系统和方法提供了一个特定区域（例如，被描绘的房间）作为虚拟环境中的头脑风暴区域。处理器引擎可以在特定区域的多个用户进行头脑风暴会话。对于给定的头脑风暴会议，引擎（i）表示头脑风暴会话中的每个用户，以及（ii）在头脑风暴会话中指示每个用户的通信（例如，聊天泡泡，投票等）。可以使用用户/头像和通信的颜色编码。用户可以以向用户提供工作流程或工作分配的方式在特定区域中安排标记（例如，项目任务的指标）。头脑风暴会话的不同状态的快照已启用。与头脑风暴会话的工件的用户交互在快照中保持活动状态。头脑风暴会话的工作可以稍后从重新加载快照重新构建（恢复）到随后的会话中。

摘要： An external source data provider provides separable lists of external data in a virtual environment. The external source data provider and method particularly represent a query for external data in the virtual environment. The query is executed against external sources resulting in a plurality of items collectively forming search results. An output module displays the search results as a stream of discrete objects emanating from the representation of the search query in the virtual environment. Each object corresponds to or otherwise represents a respective search result item and operates as an individual data element Any user may persist, manipulate, share, annotate and modify one or more of the objects corresponding to the external data (i.e., respective search result item). Displayed objects that are left untouched by users disappear from display after a predefined period of time.
摘要翻译：外部源数据提供者在虚拟环境中提供可分离的外部数据列表。外部源数据提供者和方法特别表示对虚拟环境中外部数据的查询。对外部源执行查询，导致多个项目共同形成搜索结果。输出模块将搜索结果显示为在虚拟环境中从搜索查询的表示发出的离散对象流。每个对象对应于或以其他方式表示相应的搜索结果项并且作为单独的数据元素操作。任何用户可以持久化，操纵，共享，注释和修改与外部数据相对应的一个或多个对象（即，相应的搜索结果项）。用户不受任何影响的显示对象在预定义的时间段内从显示屏消失。

摘要： A computer method and system familiarizes users in a group in shared synchronous environments. As part of operation of a given shared synchronous online environment, the invention generates an icebreaking activity for a group of users. The generated ice breaking activity has content from at least one data source external to the given online environment. The content may be mined user profiles, images and other user information from other data sources that users provide information to. The invention allows free form conversation among the group of users during participation in the generated ice-breaking activity. Such participation by the users in the generated ice-breaking activity and free form conversation among the users enable users to become familiar with each other's human persona.

摘要： Computer method and apparatus persists portions of group conversations in a virtual environment. A group conversation is formed of group member communications. Indications or illustrations, such as chat bubbles, are displayed to end users to represent the group member communications. The invention system enables a user to persist a portion of the group conversation by selecting respective indicators (e.g., chat bubbles) corresponding to one or more of the group member communications. The processor (persist engine) also enables any user to interact with persisted conversation portions. Interactions supported include moving, arranging, tagging with metadata and saving snapshots of the persisted conversation portions, in the virtual environment.

摘要： Under the present invention, an executable object such as binary or JAVA byte code corresponding to the software application is obtained. Based on an analysis of the software application, points for introducing the collaborative components are identified. A set of executable code (e.g., an Aspect) to introduce the collaborative components at the identified points is then defined and built. Thereafter, the set of executable code and the collaborative components are linked to the executable object.
