    摘要: Workspaces are manipulated on a mobile device having a display screen. A set of two or more discrete workspaces is established. A default discrete workspace is then displayed on the screen, where the default discrete workspace is one of the discrete workspaces in the set. Whenever a user gestures with the mobile device, the gesture is used to select one of the discrete workspaces from the set, and the selected discrete workspace will be displayed on the screen.

    摘要: A “Click-Through Controller” uses various mobile electronic devices (e.g., cell phones, media players, digital cameras, etc.) to provide real-time interaction with content (e.g., maps, places, images, documents, etc.) displayed on the device's screen via selection of one or more “overlay menu items” displayed on top of that content. Navigation through displayed contents is provided by recognizing 2D and/or 3D device motions and rotations. This allows users to navigate through the displayed contents by simply moving the mobile device. Overlay menu items activate predefined or user-defined functions to interact with the content that is directly below the selected overlay menu item on the display. In various embodiments, there is a spatial correspondence between the overlay menu items and buttons or keys of the mobile device (e.g., a cell phone dial pad or the like) such that overlay menu items are directly activated by selection of one or more corresponding buttons.

    摘要: An electronic design guide, such as a french curve, can be placed in the geometry layer of a drawing program. This allows the design guide and a drawing tool, such as an electronic paint brush, to be moved about with in the drawing simultaneously using two different input control devices, such as a mouse and an electronic stylus/tablet. The design guide can then be used block or mask paint from being applied to the drawing by comparing the coordinates of the cursor with the area of the guide and setting pixels of the drawing accordingly. The masking can be performed even as the guide is moved. The system also can be set to constrain the path of the ink applied by the drawing tool to the edge of the drawing guide even as the guide is moved. As the cursor is moved the position of the cursor is matched with the closest next line segment of the guide and that portion painted.

    摘要: A system and method for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) with anti-interference outlines for enhanced user attention and fluency of work. The GUI utilizes transparency to merge images (or layers) of objects onto a graphical display. For example, variably-transparent (transparent/semi-transparent) or “see through” objects, such as menus, tool palettes, windows, dialogue boxes, or screens are superimposed over similar objects or different background content, such as text, wire-frame or line art images, and solid images. Anti-interference outlines are utilized to heighten the visibility and hence legibility of objects by mitigating visual interference, which is typically the result of overlaying similar colors or luminance values such that one layer “blends” into another. The GUI calculates a luminance level of a particular object and then surrounds the object with a luminance-contrasting border or anti-interference outline, thus enhancing visual distinctiveness of the particular object while maintaining all the advantages of transparency.

    摘要: A system and method for a graphical keyboard that benefits from the expressive power and intuitive ease of use associated with pen strokes and gestures, yet does not require complex character-recognition software. The graphical keyboard responds differently to different kinds of pen strokes. For example, lowercase "a" is entered by tapping a stylus on the "a" key of the graphical keyboard. Uppercase "A" is entered by an upward stroke initiated over the "a" key. Likewise, by stroking in other directions, a user can express other modifiers to the basic character, such as "control", "alt", "command," etc. Also, strokes in distinct directions can be used to express space, backspace, delete, and return characters, for example. Multiple strokes can be applied in sequence to a single key to express multiple modifiers. Visual feedback of pen strokes can be provided in the form of marks made by the pen. Pop-up menus can be used to provide help with and to facilitate memorization of command strokes and stroke sequences. The graphical keyboard thus lets the expert user proceed by "feel," and prompts the novice user when and as necessary.

    摘要: A temporal data control system that uses a hand held, mobile scrubwheel that includes two position indicators and an activation switch. As a user moves the scrubwheel about on a surface of a position sensing tablet a computer controls the movement of a cursor on a display. The computer also displays one or more temporal sequences, such as video sequences, on the display. Movement of the scrubwheel is detected by the computer allowing the user to position the cursor on a sequence to be controlled which the computer interprets as selecting the sequence. The computer detects rotation of the scrubwheel and controls the forward and backward motion (and speed) of the sequence responsive to the rotation. By moving the device to another location on the surface the user can select another sequence to control. The user can "point-and-scrub" temporal sequences.

    摘要: Existing remote workspace sharing systems are difficult to use. For example, changes made on a common work product by one user often appear abruptly on displays viewed by remote users. As a result the interaction is perceived as unnatural by the users and is often inefficient. Images of a display of a common work product are received from a camera at a first location. These images may also comprise information about objects between the display and the camera such as a user's hand editing a document on a tablet PC. These images are combined with images of the shared work product and displayed at remote locations. Advance information about remote user actions is then visible and facilitates collaborative mediation between users. Depth information may be used to influence the process of combining the images.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for uniquely identifying wireless devices in close physical proximity are described. When two wireless devices are brought into close proximity, one of the devices displays an optical indicator, such as a light pattern. This device then sends messages to other devices which are within wireless range to cause them to use any light sensor to detect a signal. In an embodiment, the light sensor is a camera and the detected signal is an image captured by the camera. Each device then sends data identifying what was detected back to the device displaying the pattern. By analyzing this data, the first device can determine which other device detected the indicator that it displayed and therefore determine that this device is within close physical proximity. In an example, the first device is an interactive surface arranged to identify the wireless addresses of devices which are placed on the surface.
