摘要： A system, method and computer program are provided for facilitating viewer navigation within a virtual reality three-dimensional workspace containing functional three-dimensional objects. The viewer has the capability of navigating towards such three-dimensional functional objects and interacting with them functionally in specific tasks. Such specific tasks often require a fairly narrow viewpoint to provide close viewer interaction with the object in the specific task. The present invention provides a means for facilitating the viewer's navigation along his desired or planned path after he has completed a specific task relationship with a particular selected object. Means are provided for monitoring the task specific relationship of the viewer with the object and as soon as a determination is made that the viewer has completed his task, the system automatically changes the viewpoint of the viewer from the task specific viewpoint to the optimum browsing or navigation viewpoint with respect to the viewer's current viewpoint so that the viewer can proceed further in his navigation.

摘要： The instant invention relates to a system and method of assisting interactive users to effectively address the need to control the user's entrance and exit of places in virtual 3-D workspace. Specifically, how can a designer and or a user best control what happens when the user enters or exits a particular place in a virtual reality environment. The purpose of this invention, "Passageway Properties", is the creation of customizable attributes pertaining to the behavior of the user interface upon the entrance or exit of places in virtual environments.

摘要： A method, program and system for displaying the consequence of an input in a graphical user interface (GUI) are provided. The invention comprises displaying a GUI including a plurality of interaction control mechanisms (controls) having a selected or a deselected state. An input to a first control may cause a change in state to at least one other of the plurality of controls. Responsive to a first input at the first control (e.g., holding down a mouse button with the pointer on the first control), the invention displays a preview of the change in state of the plurality of controls that would occur if a second input is made at the first control (e.g., releasing the mouse button with the pointer still on the first control). If the user does not want the previewed change in state to occur, the user has simply to avoid making the second input (e.g., move the pointer off the first control before releasing the mouse button).

摘要： Previously conducted conversations in real-time collaboration messages are persistently stored, either by client or a server, and then are associated with conversational items presented to a user (e.g. contact names, topics, etc.). An icon is provided near each listed item, which when selected, displays to the user summaries or titles of all transcripts to which the selected item pertains or relates. The user may select one or more summaries or titles for which the conversation is to be resumed, causing the system to retrieve the stored transcript and resume appending new conversational entries to it, so that the user recovers conversational context effortlessly and accurately. Enhanced versions of the invention include sharing of transcripts so that all participants receive the context of the conversation, and server-side or client-side implementations.

摘要： A method and system for classifying user objects in a three-dimensional environment on a display of a computer system is disclosed. The method and system comprises providing a set of standardized classes of user objects and defining the standardized classes based upon a users needs. The method and system is directed toward a classification for objects relevant to the tasks of organizing the 3D environment, navigating through the 3D environment, and performing useful work in the 3D user environment in a computer system classification. The distinction between classes of objects in the classification is based on user needs and is reflected in the properties and behaviors of objects as perceived by the users.

摘要： A method, system and program for including selections in the menu bar that are icons. The support for menus containing icons includes an algorithm in the memory of a processor that presents a menu bar with imbedded icons. The icons can be selected to present nested levels of menu driven functions that are associated with the particular icons. From the menu, a user can directly perform nested, hierarchial operations associated with the icon upon another icon or other objects on a display.
