摘要:
An electronic board system (100) includes an electronic board having a screen (10) for displaying information of interest to a work group or community, an input device (40) for receiving information from users (50) in a group or community to be displayed on the electronic board, a memory (30) for storing information received from the input device (40) and a processor (20) for selecting which information stored in the memory (30) to display on the screen (10), where and how to display the selected information on the screen (10) and displaying the selected information on the screen (10). The processor (20) selects which information to display in accordance with a predetermined relationship based on a group-based recommendation criteria and user interest. A plurality of sensors (60) disposed behind the screen (10) detect user interest in information displayed on the screen near the sensor. User interest may also be determined by monitoring user requests for copies of information displayed on the screen (10).

A method of operating an electronic information processing system manages the retention and deletion of data, in the form of documents, in the system. Expiration dates relating to a document are associated with a document label for the document, which identifies a business use classification of the document, and an ownership label, which classifies the document with respect to its end user owner. The document is removed from the system only when a predetermined relationship exists between a current date and the two expiration dates.

5n7 A network-based animated electronic meeting place is provided for business meetings, education, simulated classrooms, casual encounters, personal meetings, art auctions, parties and game playing, which includes a terminal for each participant on the network and local prestored animation graphics, with simulated participants in the form of animated characters or dolls being driven through sensing of each of the participants at their respective work stations, including their position, posture, gestures, audio content and optionally that persona which each individual wishes to be displayed at the animated electronic meeting place. In one embodiment, a user chooses how he represents himself on the screen through the use of a Persona or Character control. The animated electronic meeting place is provided with real time 3-D graphics renderings, showing the meeting with all of the participants including the individual participant as himself, a microphone to capture the use's speech, digital sound processing for voice localization, and position sensors to detect the participant's gestures and/or facial expressions as well as body movement. In one embodiment, the user is also provided with a view control in the form of a joy stick to zoom in or to alter the perspective at which he is viewing the animated meeting. In a further embodiment, through sound localization detection as well as speech recognition circuits, stereo sound at each terminal can be steered so as to localize the sound to the person who is detected as talking.

An electronic calendaring method for use in a data processing system that comprises a plurality of interactive type work stations (terminals or personal computers) connected directly or indirectly to a host processor. A method assists a calendar owner who receives a notice at his work station requesting his involvement in a future event that is being calendared by another calendar owner on the system, to manually or automatically designate in the reply a temporary replacement to attend the meeting being calendared or a permanant replacement to attend all future meetings without affecting his status in the system as a receipient of the meeting notice.

A facility for defining a process for approving requests for approval of a selected type is described. The facility displays a palette (510) containing visual representations (511 - 518) of each of a plurality of approval process elements. The facility then receives a number of user input instances, each user input instance dragging one of the visual representations (511 - 518) into a selected location in a workspace (520) so as to form an arrangement of approval process elements. The facility then stores a process definition corresponding to the formed arrangement of approval process elements.
摘要:
A graphical user display for providing real-time process information to a user for a continuous multivariable process operable under control of a plurality of process variables which include at least manipulated variables and controlled variables includes a matrix array of information describing at least one relationship between one or more controlled variables displayed along a first axis of the array and one or more manipulated variables displayed along a second axis of the array. Further, the display includes one or more graphical devices. Each graphical device is positioned in proximity to a corresponding process variable of the controlled variables and the manipulated variables. Further, each graphical device is representative of at least a state (e.g., current value state, past value state, or predicted value state) of the corresponding process variable. A computer implemented method for providing the graphical user display is also provided.
