TL;DR: In this article, a computer system with internet phone functionality is provided, which keeps running application programs when it turns the processing rate and the voltage of the central processor unit down (e.g. enter to sleep mode).
Abstract: A computer system with internet phone functionality is provided. The computer system keeps running application programs when it turns the processing rate and the voltage of the central processor unit down (e.g. enter to the sleep mode). When the internet phone or a traditional telephone has an incoming call, the computer would be waked up immediately to prevent missing any incoming call from the internet phone or the traditional telephone.

TL;DR: It is found that not all internet communications are new types of word-of-mouth; some could be called internet word- Of-mouth with some similar characteristics with traditional word- of-mouth, while others should be known as word-Of-mouse, which has much more new characteristics compared with the traditional one.
Abstract: By looking into the characteristics of internet communication,we analyze some representative definitions of traditional word-of-mouth and internet word-of-mouth and compared the differences between themWe found that not all internet communications are new types of word-of-mouth;some could be called internet word-of-mouth with some similar characteristics with traditional word-of-mouth,while others should be known as word-of-mouse,which has much more new characteristics compared with the traditional oneFurthermore,we indicate that internet word-of-mouth and word-of-mouse are two endpoints of the continuum of diverse communications on the internet and there would be many other formats of internet communications in between

TL;DR: The Internet Chair, a novel internet appliance, is a pivot (swivel, rotating) chair deployed as an output device, a rotary motion-platform information appliance, dynamically aligning haptic display with wireless visual displays and spatial audio in rotation-invariant virtual spaces.
Abstract: We have developed second-generation prototypes of the Internet Chair, a novel internet appliance. The first generation explored using the chair as an input device; i°S chaire,i± the prototype employed here, is a pivot (swivel, rotating) chair deployed as an output device, a rotary motion-platform information appliance, dynamically aligning haptic display with wireless visual displays and spatial audio in rotation-invariant virtual spaces. As a haptic output modality, chairs with servomotors render kinesthetic and proprioceptive cues, twisting under networked control, to direct the attention of a seated subject orienting seated users like a i°dark ridei± amusement park attraction or under active user control, local or distributed. Using its audio display modality, i°nearphonesi± embedded in the seat headrest, the system can present unencumbered binaural sound with soundscape stabilization for multichannel sound image localization. In groupware situations like teleconferencing, chat spaces, or multiplayer gaming, such orientation is also synchronized with panoramic or turnoramic displays or twisting iconic representations of the users, avatars in virtual spaces, enabling social situation awareness. The S chaire, manifesting as personal LBE (location-based entertainment), can be used in both stand-alone and networked applications.We have developed several clients that exploit such i°practically panoramici± capability, including simulators, games, and 360¢a browsers, providing sensory-integrated multimodal applications, variously including stereographic or mobile features.
