摘要:
The invention disclosed herein relates to cooperative computing environments and information retrieval and management methods and systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods and systems for capturing and generating useful information about a user's access and use of data on a computer system, such as in the form of documents stored on remote servers, and making such useful information available to others. Documents on the computer system are accessible through a plurality of different methods, such as by specifying an identifier or locator for the document, activating a hyperlink in another document which points to the document, or navigating to the document through navigational commands in an application program such as a browser. The method involves capturing information regarding each of the accessed documents in the set, the information including the method used to access the document, dividing the set of documents into subsets of documents based at least in part on the methods used to access the documents, labeling each subset of documents with a topic, and making the labels and documents accessed available to other users who wish to browse the same documents.

Downstream buffer objects are slaved with the immediate upstream buffer object using a conventional “write remaining” method. The write remaining method can be invoked from each of a plurality of modules having access to the read and write pipes, and operates to slave not the data, but wrappers that point to the data and which therefore represent references to a single copy of the data stored as an upstream data buffer object, so that the actual data need exist in only one place after the write remaining method has been invoked, rather than requiring the data to be sequentially copied from one data buffer to the next. This method further has the benefit of allowing control to be returned to the module during the data transfer function, and of allowing additional data to be written to the outbound pipe.

A child's ride-on vehicle including a body portion configured to carry a child rider and at least three wheels mounted to the body portion and configured to allow the body portion to travel. The vehicle also includes a drive system with an electric motor and a battery, the drive system being activatable and connected to at least one of the wheels to rotate the wheel upon activation to thereby cause the vehicle to travel. A primary motor control system is operatively connected to the drive system and configured to allow the child rider to control activation of the drive system. A primary steering system is operatively connected to at least one of the wheels and configured to allow the child rider to selectively steer the vehicle by causing at least one of the wheels to turn relative to at least one other wheel. A secondary steering system is operatively connected to at least one of the wheels and configured to allow a person positioned near but not on the vehicle to selectively steer the vehicle by causing at least one of the wheels to turn relative to at least one other wheel. The vehicle may also include a secondary motor control system operatively connected to the drive system and configured to allow a person positioned near but not on the vehicle to selectively control the activation of the drive system.

A user interface apparatus and method for a computing or processing system employing a graphical user interface is presented. In order to provide a good user feel, and specifically to avoid a feeling of inertia or sluggishness in cursor motion as the user starts or stops movement, the apparatus and method provide a negative inertia transfer function. That is, the cursor movement signal produced by applying the input parameter to a transfer function in accordance with the invention is related to a sum of (i) the input parameter, and (ii) a signal related to the rate of change of the input parameter. This is preferably implemented as an additive high-pass transfer function. Preferred embodiments can employ analog circuitry or a digitally programmed transfer function algorithm. The input parameter to which the transfer function is applied can be a magnitude signal, such as that from a polar coordinate system, or separate components, such as x- and y-components from a rectangular coordinate system, can be treated separately.
