Abstract:
A system and method allows panels to be dragged into position using an icon displayed on a selector user interface or from another position, and as the panels are moved over a position in which another panel is displayed, the other panel, and panels in subsequent positions, are animated to move out of the position over which the panel being dragged is positioned.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, computer program and user interface wherein the method comprises: displaying on a display of an apparatus a plurality of items comprising a first subset of items and a second subset of items wherein the first subset of the plurality of items comprise notifications of events associated with the apparatus and the second subset of the plurality items comprise notifications of events occurring at one or more external servers.
Abstract:
A system and method provides a tabbed user interface in which labels may be used to select one of a plurality of data elements, but only the selected label is displayed with a tab, the other labels being displayed without a tab. Feedback, such as by underlining a label when the user hovers the mouse over it, is provided to allow the user to identify that an action will occur if one of the non-tabbed labels is clicked.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a personal communications browser client is provided. In an embodiment, a communications client operable on a remote computer is provided. The client includes a media player and a content file accessible by the media player. The media player operates responsive to the content file. The media player implements the communications client. The media player implements a user interface and a server interface. The media player receives schedule data related to upcoming communications sessions. The media player predicts upcoming communications sessions. The media player modifies the user interface in conjunction with predicted upcoming communications sessions.
Abstract:
A receiver is optimized by adapting parameters of components within the receiver. Various component parameters are adapted by using either a least means squared algorithm or a steepest descent algorithm. The taps of a decision feedback equalizer can be adapted by using either a least means squared algorithm or a steepest descent algorithm. The gain value of a linear equalizer and the input of a digital to analog converter coupled to the linear equalizer are also adapted through the least means squared algorithm or a steepest descent algorithm. A variable gain amplifier is also capable of being adapted through the use of the least means squared algorithm. Clock offsets are also configured by use of a steepest descent algorithm.
Abstract:
A system and method are disclosed for displaying multiple sets of items on a single page comprising rendering a selection graphic for each set of the multiple sets of items, wherein the rendered selection graphics are arranged adjacent to one another, in response to choosing one of the selection graphics, moving one or more of the adjacent selection graphics away from the chosen one to create a space between the chosen one and the moved one or more of the adjacent selection graphics, and inserting the set of items associated with the chosen one of the selection graphics in the space.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for magnifying selected portions of visual information on a screen is provided. In response to receiving first user input, displaying, within a first bounded region that encloses a first portion of visual information, (a) the first portion at a same magnification level as the visual information that is outside of the first bounded region, and (b) a visual indication of a second bounded region that encloses a second portion of the visual information. In response to receiving second user input, displaying, within the first bounded region, the second portion of the visual information at a magnification level that is greater than the magnification level of the visual information that is outside of the first bounded region.
Abstract:
A web page generator dynamically and implicitly generates localized web content. A web developer can mark the content of a page (including controls and literal content) with resource keys, and can dynamically process this request by dynamically substituting the marked content with localized content. Multiple properties of the controls within a page may be localized.
Abstract:
A receiver is optimized by adapting parameters of a linear equalizer component within the receiver. Data decisions and error decisions are generated. These data decision and error decisions are used to derive an error rate of data by measuring the number of margin hits that occur. A balance value is also calculated from the data decisions and the error decisions. The balance value is used to update parameters of the linear equalizer. The updating of the parameter continues until the number of margin hits has been minimized.
