Abstract: Methods and apparatus for locking an object using an efficient combination spinning and blocking process are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for acquiring ownership of an object in an object-based environment using a current thread includes determining when the object is owned by another thread, and locking the object when it is determined that the object is not owned by the another thread. A first spinning process, which is implemented when it is determined that the object is owned by the another thread, is arranged such that the current thread spins for up to a predetermined number of spin cycles associated with the current thread and the object. The predetermined number of spin cycles is determined using historical information, and is not based upon an overall system specification. When it is determined that the object has not been locked by the current thread during the first spinning process, a first blocking process is implemented.

Abstract: A method and apparatus implementing a separate child context for each applet (or similar element) of a browser. A described embodiment of the present invention provides one or more child contexts that correspond to elements in the HTML for a web page displayed by a browser. For example, each applet executed by the browser has a corresponding and separate child context Each child context has an associated memory buffer. The browser also has a parent context, which each child context points to. When a graphic is displayed via a widget, the widget draws the graphic (such as a panel or a non-pressed button) in the child context of the applet and sets a "damage" flag in the child context. When the browser performs its main browser loop, it checks the status of the damaged flag for each element (including each applet). If the browser finds a damage flag that is set, this means that something was written into the child buffer and that the parent buffer needs updating. In this case, the browser "pulls" the information from the child buffer into the parent buffer, which is then used to update the display screen. Other components, called reactive components, present special problems and are treated specially. Reactive components are drawn directly into both the child and parent contexts and buffers without waiting for the main browser loop.

Abstract: A system for integrating components into a vehicle wherein the components comprise devices coupled to an in-car network. The network provides for easy re-configuration and upgrading of the vehicle, as well as improved communication of information between the vehicle's systems and integration of the vehicle network into external networks. The network may include one or more devices which are addressable using IP addresses or object terminology. The devices may include various servers and clients, such as microphones, cameras, GPS receivers, interfaces to on-board diagnostic systems, communication devices, displays, CD players, radios, speakers, security devices and LANs (local area networks). Devices may easily be connected or disconnected to upgrade or reconfigure the vehicle's systems, and software and services can easily be provided to the various devices through the network. The network can enable the interaction of various network devices to increase the capabilities or utility of devices which may otherwise be limited. The system therefore provides an easy and inexpensive means to improve or otherwise modify the functionality of the vehicle. In one embodiment, the in-vehicle network comprises an ethernet, although other embodiments can be implemented in any other type of network. Communication devices such as wireless modems and wireless ethernet allow communications with devices and networks external to the in-vehicle network so that data, software, services and other information can be downloaded from or uploaded to these external sources. The in-vehicle network can also be coupled to an external network through these communication devices so that it can function as a device (a sub-network) on the external network. Traditional vehicle components may be replaced by network devices, thereby providing extended functionality to the driver. For example, the vehicle's dashboard may be replaced by a monitor, which displays images of dashboard instruments, vehicle data and other information to the driver. Graphics generated by a server on the network may be designed to emulate digital or analog gauges which are normally found on a dashboard.

Abstract: A method is described for establishing a focus traversal protocol in a graphical user interface having a plurality of components within at least one top-level window. The method includes defining the top-level window as a first focus cycle root, assigning a plurality of components to a first focus traversal cycle associated with the first focus cycle root, and for each component in the first focus traversal cycle, establishing a focus traversal key definition including a forward traversal key and a backward traversal key. The method further includes establishing a first focus traversal policy associated with the first focus traversal cycle. A windowing toolkit is also described for use by a developer in establishing a focus traversal protocol for a graphical user interface having a plurality of components within at least one top-level window. The method may also include defining one of the plurality of components of the first focus traversal cycle as a second focus cycle root, assigning a plurality of components to a second focus traversal cycle associated with the second focus cycle root, establishing a focus traversal key definition including a forward key traversal key and a backward key traversal key for each component in the second focus traversal cycle, and establishing a second focus traversal policy associated with the second focus traversal cycle. The windowing toolkit has a plurality of windowing tools each having codes suitable to be executed by a computer. The toolkit includes a first tool configured to assign a plurality of components to a first focus traversal cycle associated with a first focus cycle root, the first focus cycle root being defined as a top-level window, a second tool configured to assign a focus traversal key definition to each component in the first focus traversal cycle, the focus traversal key definition including a forward traversal key and a backward traversal key, and a third tool configured to establish a first focus traversal policy associated with the first focus traversal cycle.

Abstract: An interface between clients and services in a distributed computing environment is described. Method gates may provide an interface to remotely invoke functions of a service. A method gate may be generated from an advertisement that may include definitions for one or more messages for remotely invoking functions of the service. A client may generate messages containing representations of method calls. The service may invoke functions that correspond to the set of messages. A method gate on the service may unmarshal the message and invoke the function. The client may receive the results of the function directly. Alternatively, the results may be stored, an advertisement to the results may be provided, and a gate may be generated to access the results. Message gates may perform the sending and receiving of the messages between the client and service. In one embodiment, functions of the service may be computer programming language (e.g. Java) methods. In one embodiment, a message including a representation of a method call may be generated when no actual method call was made. In one embodiment, a method call may be transformed into messages that may be sent to the service; the service may not know that the messages were generated from a method call. In one embodiment, a service may transform messages requesting functions into method calls; the client may not know that the service is invoking methods to perform the functions.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that allows the user to escape from unwanted Java modal dialog boxes displayed by an applet, even though the Java modal dialog box does not contain a user interface designed to cancel or remove the dialog box from the display. The described embodiment allows the user to use so-called "escape" keys to indicate that the Java modal dialog box should be removed and/or closed. In general, these escape keys have other purposes in addition to removing the Java modal dialog box. A first escape key is a "back" key. Although the back key is typically used within a web browser to return to a previously viewed web page, in dialog box mode, the effect of the back key is to remove the dialog box from the display (under certain circumstances, as discussed below). A second escape key in the described embodiment is the "goto" key. The present invention detects a goto key press before the key press is sent to the Java modal dialog box, and replaces the page containing the errant applet with a new page.
