Abstract

Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for multi-source, multi-destination data transfers that include identifying a plurality of destination points having destination contexts in one or more destination objects; selecting source content for transfer; displaying destination contexts for the destination points; and directing source content to at least one destination point in dependence upon the displayed destination contexts. In typical embodiments, identifying destination points includes recording each identified destination point and storing in association with each recorded destination point a copy of a destination context for each recorded destination point.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for multi-source, multi-destination data transfers, the method comprising: 
 identifying a plurality of destination points having destination contexts in one or more destination objects;    selecting source content for transfer;    displaying destination contexts for the destination points; and    directing source content to at least one destination point in dependence upon the displayed destination contexts.    
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein identifying destination points further comprises: 
 recording each identified destination point; and    storing in association with each recorded destination point a copy of a destination context for each recorded destination point.    
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 2  further comprising inserting source content at a destination point in a copy of a destination context.  
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 3  further comprising checking spelling of a copied destination context that includes inserted source content.  
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 3  further comprising checking grammar of a copied extracted destination context that includes inserted source content.  
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein directing source content to at least one destination point in dependence upon the displayed destination contexts further comprises inserting source content at an identified destination point in a destination object.  
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising: 
 inserting source content at a selected destination point in a copied destination context; and    replacing the destination context in the destination object with the copied destination context including the inserted source content.    
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising mapping a plurality of selected source content to a plurality of selected destination points.  
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising: 
 designating at least one source content for transfer;    inserting the designated source content at a selected destination point in a destination object; and    deleting the designated source content from a source object.    
   
   
       10 . A system for multi-source, multi-destination data transfers, the system comprising: 
 means for identifying a plurality of destination points having destination contexts in one or more destination objects;    means for selecting source content for transfer;    means for displaying destination contexts for the destination points; and    means for directing source content to at least one destination point in dependence upon the displayed destination contexts.    
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 10  wherein means for identifying destination points further comprises: 
 means for recording each identified destination point; and    means for storing in association with each recorded destination point a copy of a destination context for each recorded destination point.    
   
   
       12 . The system of claim  111  further comprising means for inserting source content at a destination point in a copy of a destination context.  
   
   
       13 . The system of  claim 12  further comprising means for checking spelling of a copied destination context that includes inserted source content.  
   
   
       14 . The system of  claim 12  further comprising means for checking grammar of a copied extracted destination context that includes inserted source content.  
   
   
       15 . The system of  claim 10  wherein means for directing source content to at least one destination point in dependence upon the displayed destination contexts further comprises means for inserting source content at an identified destination point in a destination object.  
   
   
       16 . The system of  claim 10  further comprising: 
 means for inserting source content at a selected destination point in a copied destination context; and    means for replacing the destination context in the destination object with the copied destination context including the inserted source content.    
   
   
       17 . The system of  claim 10  further comprising means for mapping a plurality of selected source content to a plurality of selected destination points.  
   
   
       18 . The system of  claim 10  further comprising: 
 means for designating at least one source content for transfer;    means for inserting the designated source content at a selected destination point in a destination object; and    means for deleting the designated source content from a source object.    
   
   
       19 . A computer program product for multi-source, multi-destination data transfers, the computer program product comprising: 
 a recording medium;    means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying a plurality of destination points having destination contexts in one or more destination objects;    means, recorded on the recording medium, for selecting source content for transfer;    means, recorded on the recording medium, for displaying destination contexts for the destination points; and    means, recorded on the recording medium, for directing source content to at least one destination point in dependence upon the displayed destination contexts.    
   
   
       20 . The computer program product of  claim 19  wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying destination points further comprises: 
 means, recorded on the recording medium, for recording each identified destination point; and    means, recorded on the recording medium, for storing in association with each recorded destination point a copy of a destination context for each recorded destination point.    
   
   
       21 . The computer program product of  claim 20  further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for inserting source content at a destination point in a copy of a destination context.  
   
   
       22 . The computer program product of  claim 21  further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for checking spelling of a copied destination context that includes inserted source content.  
   
   
       23 . The computer program product of  claim 21  further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for checking grammar of a copied extracted destination context that includes inserted source content.  
   
   
       24 . The computer program product of  claim 19  wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for directing source content to at least one destination point in dependence upon the displayed destination contexts further comprises means, recorded on the recording medium, for inserting source content at an identified destination point in a destination object.  
   
   
       25 . The computer program product of  claim 19  further comprising: 
 means, recorded on the recording medium, for inserting source content at a selected destination point in a copied destination context; and    means, recorded on the recording medium, for replacing the destination context in the destination object with the copied destination context including the inserted source content.    
   
   
       26 . The computer program product of  claim 19  further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for mapping a plurality of selected source content to a plurality of selected destination points.  
   
   
       27 . The computer program product of  claim 19  further comprising: 
 means, recorded on the recording medium, for designating at least one source content for transfer;    means, recorded on the recording medium, for inserting the designated source content at a selected destination point in a destination object; and    means, recorded on the recording medium, for deleting the designated source content from a source object.
