摘要： A multi-user multi-device system enables a plurality of users to control a single screen. Each user has one or more input devices, which can be used to control one or more stored applications. At any time, the system produces a consistent view of all applications on the single screen. The input from each user produces a response customized to the preferences of that user. Each user can inform the system of which devices that user is using. Inputs to the system initiate the building of Event Records that are queued and then directed to specific applications. The screen is updated, and the coordinates of child applications are determined, only during pauses in the operations of all applications.

摘要： A system and method for an automatic conversion of web pages to shared structured web pages. An input web page is augmented with syntactic elements of a server-based software tool to create and customize group-writeable web pages. Sub-regions of the web page that are to be individually-editable items are identified, and syntactic elements are added to show where these editable regions begin and end, and where clickable buttons will appear that trigger the editing of an individual item, the addition of a new item, or other editing features. Also, syntactic elements are added that act as templates for the layout of any item to be added or modified. The conversion process includes parsing the Web page into an intermediate structure, adding information to individual tokens about the structures in which the tokens play a part, and them generating the new page while making one or more final passes through the intermediate structure from beginning to end.

摘要： A computerized two-dimensional illustration system composes an image of a scene with layered synthetic graphics filters or lenses. The scene is defined by an ordered list of shapes. Some of the shapes in the ordered list of shapes are lenses. Each lens is a shape that has a fill color which is an operator rather than a constant. The operator of a selected lens performs a filtering function on the shapes ordered below it in the list of shapes. To compose a selected lens in the scene, the system computes an under-list of shapes for the selected lens. The under-list of shapes identifies shapes in the ordered list of shapes to which the filtering function of the selected lens may apply. After computing the under-list for a selected lens, the system freezes the shapes in the under-list and applies the filtering function of the selected lens to the shapes in the under-list. When a lens is frozen, it is replaced with a list of shapes that are formed independently of other shapes in the list of shapes. The scope of operation of the selected lens can be reduced by grouping the selected lens with other shapes in the scene as either a lens-in cluster or a lens-out cluster. A lens-in cluster limits the scope of operation of the selected lens by operating on only those shapes in the cluster, while a lens-out cluster limits the scope of operation of the lens by operating on only those shapes outside the cluster. As a result of limiting the scope of operation, grouping lenses with other objects in a scene enables the creation of different visual effects. In addition, depending on whether a lens is grouped as a lens-in or a lens-out cluster, the computed under-list of the selected lens may have a reduced number of shapes, thereby reducing the computational complexity of composing an image of the scene.

摘要翻译： 计算机化的二维插图系统使用分层合成图形滤波器或透镜构成场景的图像。 场景由有序的形状列表定义。 有序的形状列表中的一些形状是透镜。 每个透镜是具有填充颜色的形状，其是操作者而不是常数。 所选透镜的操作者对形状列表中对其下排列的形状执行滤光功能。 要在场景中组合选定的镜头，系统会计算所选镜头的形状列表。 形状的不足列表可以识别所选镜片的滤镜功能可以应用的形状的有序列表中的形状。 在计算所选镜头的列表之后，系统冻结下表中的形状，并将所选镜头的滤镜功能应用于下列列表中的形状。 当镜头被冻结时，它被替换成与形状列表中的其他形状独立形成的形状列表。 所选择的镜头的操作范围可以通过将所选择的镜头与场景中的其它形状分组为透镜群或透镜群来减少。 镜头群通过仅对集群中的那些形状进行操作来限制所选镜头的操作范围，而透镜群仅通过仅对集群外的形状进行操作才能限制镜头的操作范围。 作为限制操作范围的结果，将镜头与场景中的其他物体分组，可以创建不同的视觉效果。 此外，根据镜头是否被分组为透镜群或透镜群，所选择的镜片的计算下列表可以具有减少的形状数量，从而降低了组合图像的计算复杂性 现场。

摘要： A computer-implemented system and method for providing context-sensitive sidebar window display on an electronic desktop is provided. A document that includes digital data is maintained in electronic storage. The document is operated upon through an application window generated by an application program on an electronic desktop. A sidebar window is initially generated. Contextual information relevant to the document is determined. Part of the contextual information to present is selected based on a current state of the document in the application window. The selected part of the contextual information is presented in the sidebar window positioned visually adjacent to the application window. The contextual information presented in and the positioning of the sidebar window is continually updated in step with the current state of the document and the application window.

摘要： Aspects of the disclosed technology present a workspace window responsive to a relationship data structure that represents a comprehension state including a presentation of a first instance-representation that represents a first separately-movable instance object and a second instance-representation that represents a second separately-movable instance object. This aspect enables the first instance-representation and detects when the first instance-representation is dropped within a threshold distance of the second instance-representation. When the first instance-representation is dropped, the technology identifies, responsive to the step of detecting, one of a plurality of spatial relationships between the first instance-representation and the second instance-representation. Responsive to the identified spatial relationship, the technology selects an operation, and responsive to the operation modifies a composite object in the relationship data structure. The composite object incorporates an entity/relationship object that is represented by the first separately-movable instance object and an entity/relationship object represented by the second separately-movable instance object. After the composite object as modified, an instance-representation that represents the composite object is presented in the workspace window.
