    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.

    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 first computes an under-list of shapes for the selected lens. The under-list of shapes is used to identify those shapes in the ordered list of shapes to which the filtering function of the selected lens may apply. Depending on the filtering function of a lens, the lens composes in either a back-to-front order or a front-to-back order. A lens composes in a back-to-front order by freezing lenses in the under-list before applying the filtering function of the lens to shapes in the under-list. In contrast, a lens composes in a front-to-back order by applying the filtering function of the lens to the under-list of shapes before freezing lenses in the under-list. When a lens is frozen, it is replaced with a cluster of shapes that are formed independently of other shapes in the list of shapes.

    摘要: A software architecture is provided for allowing users to impart various types of button behavior to ordinary human interpretable elements of electronic documents by associating hidden persistent character string button attributes to such elements. This architecture permits such buttons to be edited and searched through the use of the edit and search routines that are ordinarily provided by standard document editors.

    摘要: An information retrieval system and method are provided in which an operator inputs one or more query words which are used to determine a search key for searching through a corpus of documents, and which returns any matches between the search key and the corpus of documents as a phrase containing the word data matching the query word(s), a non-stop (content) word next adjacent to the matching word data, and all intervening stop-words between the matching word data and the next adjacent non-stop word. The operator, after reviewing one or more of the returned phrases can then use one or more of the next adjacent non-stop-words as new query words to reformulate the search key and perform a subsequent search through the document corpus. This process can be conducted iteratively, until the appropriate documents of interest are located. The additional non-stop-words from each phrase are preferably aligned with each other (e.g., by columnation) to ease viewing of the "new" content words.
