Abstract: This is directed to a preview application for displaying several documents simultaneously in a single window, where the several documents are displayed as books. To view the pages of a document, the preview application can open the book and display the pages of the document (e.g., in a one or two-dimensional array). A user can also search for particular terms within the several documents. In response to a search, the preview application can filter the pages of the several documents and only display those pages that include the search terms. The displayed pages can be ordered in any suitable manner, including for example by search rank.

Abstract: A computer-human interface provides a mechanism to manage the available space of a computer display in a manner that facilitates navigation among multiple windows that are overlaid upon one another. The interface includes a user-selectable mode in which the windows are rearranged, and resized if necessary, so that all open windows can be simultaneously viewed within the area of the display, thereby enabling any one of the windows to be easily selected for access. In effect, the presentation of the windows is nullflattenednull so that all windows appear at the same virtual depth, rather than overlapping one another. With this approach, there is no need to minimize windows in order to access one that is overlaid by another, thereby enabling the user to keep the content of all windows visible and accessible. Subsets of windows can be repositioned in the same manner, or all windows can be removed from the display area for access to desktop objects.

Abstract translation: 计算机人机界面提供了一种机制，以便于在彼此重叠的多个窗口之间的导航的方式来管理计算机显示器的可用空间。 接口包括用户可选择的模式，其中窗口被重新排列，并且如果需要进行调整大小，使得可以在显示器的区域内同时观看所有打开的窗口，从而使得任何一个窗口能够容易地被选择进行访问。 实际上，窗口的呈现被“平坦化”，使得所有窗口出现在相同的虚拟深度，而不是彼此重叠。 使用这种方法，不需要最小化窗口以便访问被另一个覆盖的窗口，从而使得用户能够保持所有窗口的内容可见和可访问。 可以以相同的方式重新定位窗口的子集，或者可以从显示区域中删除所有窗口以访问桌面对象。

Abstract: A method of controlling transmission of data from a computer to a video client via an interface device, comprising: reading a register on the interface device to obtain a value indicating temporal proximity to an occurrence of a vertical blanking interval occurs, the value increased incrementally until a vertical blanking interval occurs, and then being reset; deriving a time value, the time value indicating the occurrence of a vertical blanking interval; sending an interrupt to a processor on the computer at the occurrence of the vertical blanking interval; and invoking code in response to an occurrence of the video blanking interval.

Abstract: Improved techniques for rendering a peripheral device removable (e.g., unpluggable) are disclosed. According to one aspect of the invention, the peripheral device is rendered removable from a host computer without preparatory user actions. In effect, the peripheral device can be automatically prepared for removal in the event that its user removes (unplugs) it from its host computer. According to another aspect of the invention, the peripheral device includes a data storage device that is mounted to a file system of the host computer when the host computer desires access to the data storage device. Otherwise, the data storage device is normally unmounted so that if the peripheral device were to be removed (e.g., unplugged) no harm or damage to data stored therein would occur. These aspects of the invention can be utilized alone or in combination with one another. The invention is particularly well suited for peripheral devices that are media players which are nullhotnull unpluggable without detrimental consequences.

Abstract: A DVD authoring system in a processor-based system removes an author from consideration of the DVD Specification during authoring. According to a preferred embodiment, the authoring system provides an authoring engine having an interactive graphical authoring interface, a data management engine, an emulator, a compiler, a multiplexer and a simulator. Using summary authoring data, the compiler builds a skeleton-form PGC layout structure comprising control PGC abstractions and router PGC abstractions. The compiler then resolves the PGC abstractions according to source-target connections. During playback on a DVD player, the PGC abstractions form elements in a connection-switching abstraction superstructure. Accordingly, in response to DVD-consumer and other control events, a source PGC preferably determines target PGC information and then transfers control, via virtual connections through necessary router PGC abstractions, to a target PGC abstraction. The target PGC abstraction then correspondingly initiates playback of a movie chapter or displays a menu.

Abstract translation: 基于处理器的系统中的DVD制作系统在创作过程中将作者从DVD规范的考虑中删除。 根据优选实施例，创作系统提供具有交互式图形创作界面，数据管理引擎，仿真器，编译器，复用器和模拟器的创作引擎。 使用摘要创作数据，编译器构建一个骨架形式的PGC布局结构，包括控制PGC抽象和路由器PGC抽象。 编译器然后根据源目标连接解析PGC抽象。 在DVD播放器播放期间，PGC抽象在连接切换抽象上层建筑中形成元素。 因此，响应于DVD消费者和其他控制事件，源PGC优选地确定目标PGC信息，然后经由必要的路由器PGC抽象的虚拟连接将控制转移到目标PGC抽象。 目标PGC抽象然后相应地启动电影章节的回放或显示菜单。
