Abstract: A method and means for self-policing and automatically rate-limiting multiple-user online forums. The preferred embodiment of the invention includes a set of rules that permit users to censure other users. A censured user has one or more “privileges” (which may include access to the online computer system or the effective message rate of a communications connection) taken away or diminished; the privilege is gradually restored if the censured user behaves. The censuring participant and other pertinent participants are notified of the effect of the censuring on the censured user. In another aspect of the invention, the online computer system automatically tracks the rate at which a user sends certain types of messages, and can message rate limit a user who uses too many system resources by sending a large number of messages in rapid succession.

Abstract: A random yet smart selection of layouts is provided when viewing a set of photos. A set of layouts may be chosen such that a reasonable sense of variety and uniqueness is provided when viewing the photos. For instance, photos may be randomly assigned to one of a plurality of groups, where each group may have its own layout type and its own number of photos. An iterative algorithm may be applied to determine which photos are assigned to which groups. In addition, smart cropping of photo thumbnails may be provided to fit frames provided in the various presented layouts. The amount and/or type of cropping provided may depend upon the aspect ratios of both the thumbnail and the frame in which the thumbnail is to be placed.

Abstract translation: 当查看一组照片时，会提供随机而又巧妙的布局选择。 可以选择一组布局，使得在观看照片时提供合理的多样性和唯一性。 例如，照片可以被随机分配给多个组中的一个，其中每个组可以具有其自己的布局类型和自己的照片数量。 可以应用迭代算法来确定哪些照片被分配给哪些组。 此外，可以提供照片缩略图的智能裁剪以适合在各种呈现的布局中提供的帧。 提供的裁剪的数量和/或类型可以取决于缩略图和放置缩略图的框架的宽高比。

Abstract: Groups of photo thumbnails are presented to the user, and where a user selects one of the thumbnails, a transition is provided replacing the group of thumbnails with the photo represented by the selected thumbnail. The photo may be displayed without cropping or stretching. In addition, a zoom/enlargement animation of the selected thumbnail is provided, and also possibly of the remaining thumbnails in the group, which then transitions into the represented photo. In addition, after or during the zooming animation, a cross-fading may occur such that the thumbnails fade out and the represented photo fades in. These types of transitions and user inputs both while the user is manually browsing thumbnails and when the user is viewing an automated slideshow of the thumbnails.

Abstract translation: 照片缩略图组被呈现给用户，并且在用户选择其中一个缩略图的情况下，提供转换，用所选择的缩略图表示的照片代替缩略图组。 可以在不裁剪或拉伸的情况下显示照片。 此外，提供了所选缩略图的缩放/放大动画，并且还可能提供组中剩余的缩略图，然后转换到所表示的照片。 此外，在缩放动画之后或期间，可能会发生交叉衰落，使得缩略图淡出并且所表示的照片消失。当用户手动浏览缩略图并且当用户正在观看时，这些类型的转换和用户输入 缩略图的自动幻灯片放映。

Abstract: In an electronic file system environment, animations of file system items are provided in response to various user requests. For example, where the user requests to change the sort order of a set of displayed item representations, the system responds by animating the item representations to move to new destination positions as dictated by the new sort order. Or, where the user requests to resize a container representation, the system responds by animating the item representations shown in the container representation to move about the display to new destination positions as dictated by the new sizing of the container representation. Or, where the user requests to navigate into or out of a container, the system responds by animating item representations shown in the container representation (representing the container to be navigated into) to expand, contract, and/or move about the display to new destination positions and/or sizes.

Abstract: A property tree user interface permits user assignment of values to metadata properties and user navigation of data, within a system that includes a data storage subsystem in which data items are organized and queried by way of properties. The property tree includes nodes that expose properties of data items. A user may interact with the property tree in order to effect an assignment of a property, in which case the value associated with the property in the data storage subsystem is modified. User input with respect to the property tree may also be indicative of a query of data storage, in which case a browsable view of data items responsive to the query is displayed. The property tree may also display nodes that represent folders within a hierarchical file system, nodes that represent properties with inherent hierarchy, and nodes that represent user-defined hierarchical properties.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) view of a data collection based on an attribute is disclosed. A timeline is provided for displaying files and folders. The timeline may include a focal group that displays detailed information about its contents to the user. Remaining items on the timeline are displayed in less detail and may be positioned to appear further away from the user. A histogram may be provided as part of the view to allow the user to more easily navigate the timeline to find a desired file or folder.

Abstract: Methods and systems for producing data describing states of a plurality of targets (105A, 105B) using a processor (102) in a system (100) having at least one onboard sensor (106). The method includes obtaining (404) data from at least one onboard sensor (106A, 106B) and performing a first data fusion process (412) on the obtained onboard sensor data to produce onboard sensor fused data. Data is also obtained (422) from at least one off-board sensor (108A, 108B), and a second, different data fusion process (430) is performed on the obtained off-board sensor data and the onboard sensor fused data to produce target state data.
