IBM Patents Changing Color of E-Mail Text
Found on Slashdot on Friday, 15 May 2009
Last week, the USPTO granted IBM a patent for its System and method for comprehensive automatic color customization in an email message based on cultural perspective.
IBM explains: 'For example, an email created in the U.S. in red font to indicate urgency or emphasis might be mapped to a more appropriate color (e.g., blue or black) for sending to Korea.'
I want to patent a method for automatic swearing customization in emails. So you can curse in your language and the recipient gets the appropriate translation automatically.
