System and method for automatic information compatibility detection and pasting intervention
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing a copier configured to allow a user to designate a destination point or area in a first computer resource, and to select in a second user interface to a second computer resource multiple information elements in the second computer resource;
responsive to the user selections, automatically concatenating the multiple selected information elements into a single transfer buffer; and
automatically transferring the concatenated information elements from the transfer buffer, to the destination point or area of one or more information elements.

Abstract
Content is transferred from one computer resource to another computer resource by receiving designating a first insertion point, enabling automatic paste operation, switching to a user interface to a source computer resource, receiving a user selection of content from said source user interface, and automatically copying the selected content to a transfer buffer and to the designated insertion point(s) in the destination computer resource. Additional content may be copied to the destination computer resource by simply selecting additional content in the same source computer resource or other computer resources without need to toggle back to the destination user interface between every copy and paste operation. Prior to insertion in the destination computer resource, compatibility of the content is checked, and incompatible elements are handled according to user configured rules, such as converting the elements, converting the elements, or isolating the elements.

7. A computer-readable storage memory comprising:
-
a computer readable storage memory suitable for encoding computer programs; and one or more computer programs encoded by the memory and configured to transfer content from one computer resource to another computer resource by; providing a copier configured to allow a user to designate a destination point or area in a first computer resource, and to select in a second user interface to a second computer resource multiple information elements in the second computer resource; responsive to the user selections, automatically concatenating the multiple selected information elements into a single transfer buffer; and automatically transferring the concatenated information elements from the transfer buffer to the destination point or area of one or more information elements. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system for automatically transferring content from one computer resource to another computer resource, the system having one or more circuits, one or more programs executed by a processor, or a combination of circuits and processor-executed programs comprising:
-
a single transfer buffer in a computer readable storage memory; and an element copier; allowing a user to designate a destination point or area in a first computer resource; allowing a user to select in a second user interface to a second computer resource multiple information elements in a second computer resource; automatically concatenating the multiple selected information elements into the single transfer buffer; and automatically transferring the information elements from the single transfer buffer, to the destination point or area of one or more information elements. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
