    摘要: The invention uses a recognition system of gestures that maps sequences of gestures to keys strings. In the practice of this invention, a user produces gestures without keyboards. Many experienced typists can type without looking at keyboards, and typists can make gestures, in the absence of a keyboard, that are similar to gestures that would be made if there were a keyboard. The gesture recognition system captures gestures for example, (via cameras) and interprets them as pressing an invisible keyboards, as if a keyboard were actually placed in a certain location under the typists hands. To coordinate the invisible keyboard in the correct place under the hands, the user may be provided with feedback. He or she can either view the results of the gestures via a display or hear sounds, via speakers, indicating the results of the gestures.

    摘要: An emergency backup system, method and computer program product for backing up data on one or more computers located in an identified danger zone. When an emergency occurs, computers in the danger zone are connected to a network. The computers may be distributed at various remote locations. The protected locations each include a sensor for sensing an emergency situation and signaling the local computer of an impending emergency. The sensor also signals remote computers of the occurrence of the emergency. The computers may have been connected together over a network or, upon receiving an emergency signal, may connect together into a backup network. Local computers in the danger zone are connected across the network to remote computers with sufficient available storage to backup data from a connected local computer. The backup may be a full backup, a partial backup or a selective backup. The computers may include PCs, PDAs and servers. The network may be a LAN, a wireless network, a phone network or a WAN.

    摘要: Information presentation system comprises a computer device having a display terminal for providing a graphical user interface (GUI), capable of generating a cluster of items comprising graphical or textual elements for display thereof according to a fractal appearance. Each item in a cluster represents information having a degree of relatedness with information represented by other items in a cluster. A control mechanism is provided for controlling the spatial extent, nesting and arrangement of items within a cluster according to a specified criteria, which spatial extent and arrangement is controlled to provide optimal display and conserve screen display space on the display terminal. Users may manually enter a criteria for organizing and adjusting the spatial extent of a cluster in order to provide continuous display space on the computer display terminal. The invention may be implemented in text editors to provide a multiresolution annotation feature for portable and lap/palm-top computer devices having pen-based or keyboard based inputs.
