摘要： A system and method for displaying, browsing and accessing content in real space and time. In one embodiment, a user may browse and access multiple types of electronic content in a three dimensional representation of real space and time, where each document has a time and space attribute. A user may also place electronic documents at different locations in real space and time. A user performs inquiries by moving a space indicator along a time line. A visual indicator representing a relevancy score may provide information regarding document proximity to a selected location in space and time. The relevance score may also offset uncertainties inherent in location tracking systems. A document window is provided to display documents located at a selected point in space and time. Visual indicators associated with the documents may represent the time and space location of each document. Documents in the document window may be sorted as desired by a user.

摘要： A system for controlling the playback of a recorded session utilizing a window acting as a player for playing back a timestream for a shared representation media, such as an electronic whiteboard. Timestream and event information for the session is captured by one or more recording devices. Playback of a session is performed under the control of a session access device which utilizes event information to create a user interface for controlling session replay. The user interface includes the window for playing back the timestream of a shared representation media. Each graphical object in the window is associated with one or more events (e.g. a creation event, an editing event, a move event or a deletion event). Selection of a graphical object enables playback time to be moved to the time for one of the associated events. Selection may also be made on an area of the window. This will enable the user to view all events related to graphical objects in the selected area (as some graphical objects may be erased or moved).

摘要： A computer controlled display system for defining flow regions. A flow region enables a user to view long lists of data items on the work surface of a graphical display system. In a flow region, a rectangular region typically the size of the viewable work surface area, is organized into columnar columns. The items in the long list are mapped to the columnar columns. As items are added to or deleted from the list, the items contained within the columnar columns may "flow" to other columns. In this organization the items in the top of the list are in the first column and the list is displayed in columnar fashion from left to right. Thus, all items in the list may be displayed in the viewable work surface area.

摘要： A method and apparatus for organizing a workspace of a graphical input system that utilizes borders to define regions within the workspace. The present invention addresses the problem of determining the scope of structure operations. Structures, e.g. a list, table or other group of items having some fixed relationship by introducing the notion of a border dynamically created on such systems using available areas on the workspace. Some ambiguity may exist as to where a structure begins or ends. Further, such structure operations may cause a structure to overlay another structure. Borders are used to tessellate a work surface into non-overlapping regions. Typically, within each region is a structure. Deleting borders on a tessellated work surface may cause others borders to be deleted with the object being to maintain a completely tessellated work surface. Further, various border types, visually represented by different line types, are enabled which in turn provide for defining different types of regions.

摘要： A graphical editing system which allows a user to modify a selection gesture without having to redraw the entire gesture. The system defines a selection with an enclosure that is treated as a graphical object that can be contorted in a style consistent with the specific application. The enclosure can be altered, i.e., reshaped by a set of gestures which allow the user to expand or reduce the size of the enclosure. These alteration gestures activate specified points or portions of the enclosure to control its shape. If a selection enclosure is drawn, it can be altered to include or exclude additional data by drawing a line segment that is detected by its location relative to the selection enclosure as an alteration gesture to reshape the existing enclosure to include the line segment.
