Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes generating a list of virtual collaboration facilities associated with an authenticated user, and detecting selection of one of the virtual collaboration facilities on the list. An authenticated user can request a key to be issued to allow an unauthenticated user to gain access to the selected virtual collaboration facility.
Claims27
A computer product comprising:
- computer-executable logic instructions operable to:
- generate a selectable option for displaying a list of virtual collaboration facilities associated with a user;
- detect selection of the option;
- generate a list of virtual collaboration facilities associated with a user when the option is selected;
- detect selection of one of the virtual collaboration facilities on the list;
- and
- request information associated with one of the virtual collaboration facilities when the one of the virtual collaboration facilities is selected.

A computer-implemented method comprising:
- detecting input from an authenticated user as a request for a quick key via a virtual collaboration facility, wherein the quick key can be provided to an unauthenticated user to allow the unauthenticated user to gain access to the virtual collaboration facility.
An apparatus comprising:
- browser means for displaying information from an information network and receiving input from a user;
- means for displaying a list of virtual facilities associated with a user in a pop-up window in a browser display;
- means for authenticating the user;
- and
- means for allowing the user to select one of the virtual facilities from the pop-up window.
2 more elements
A computer implemented method comprising:
- generating a list of virtual collaboration facilities associated with a user when an option for displaying a list of virtual collaboration facilities is selected from a user interface;
- and
- providing information associated with one of the virtual collaboration facilities when the one of the virtual collaboration facilities is selected from the list.
A computer product comprising:
- computer-executable logic instructions operable to:
- receive a request from an authenticated user for a quick key via a user interface for accessing virtual collaboration facilities;
- and
- determine whether the quick key was requested while a virtual collaboration facility was selected from a list of virtual collaboration facilities available to the authenticated user, and if so, associate the quick key with the selected virtual collaboration facility.
