An anti-aliased inking method and apparatus for pen computers is presented. The invention eliminates aliased imaging of pen strokes by a number of techniques, including a “replace-if-darker” method in the event of overlapping strokes, a “multiplication” method for strokes drawn against backgrounds of various intensities; and a combination of replace-if-darker and multiplication for strokes drawn against colored backgrounds.

A method for improving the viewing quality of a CRT display image without increasing resolution of the display. With the invention disclosed herein, characters are apparently positioned at sub-pixel locations to improve the viewing quality of a CRT display image. This apparent positioning is accomplished by changing intensity values assigned to pixels on a CRT display. In the preferred embodiment, the change in intensity values is effected by linear interpolation with intensity values of neighboring pixels to yield second intensity values. These second intensity values, then, improve the viewing quality of the CRT display image.

A method and apparatus for concurrently accessing network-based electronic content in a Voice Browser and a Visual Browser can include the steps of retrieving a network-based document formatted for display in the Visual Browser; identifying in the retrieved document a reference to the Voice Browser, the reference specifying electronic content formatted for audible presentation in the Voice Browser; and, transmitting the reference to the Voice Browser. The Voice Browser can retrieve the specified electronic content and audibly present the electronic content. Concurrently, the Visual Browser can visually present the network-based document formatted for visual presentation in the Visual Browser. Likewise, the method of the invention can include the steps of retrieving a network-based document formatted for audible presentation in the Voice Browser; identifying in the retrieved document a reference to the Visual Browser, the reference specifying electronic content formatted for visual presentation in the Visual Browser; and, transmitting the reference to the Visual Browser. The Visual Browser can retrieve the specified electronic content and visually present the specified electronic content. Concurrently, the Voice Browser can audibly present the network-based document formatted for audible presentation in the Voice Browser.

A method of generating pronunciation information can include graphically presenting at least one activatable visual identifier corresponding to individual ones of a plurality of phonemes. Responsive to a selection of one of the visual identifiers, pronunciation information can be generated in accordance with the selected visual identifier. The pronunciation information can be compiled responsive to a selection of one of the plurality of visual identifiers.

This invention provides a method of and apparatus for compressing digital video color signals derived from a natural image and generating display signals for a color image composed of pixels derived from the compressed signals in which digital color signals representative of color depth intensities of three colors for each pixel to be displayed, each color signal having at least four bits representing the color intensity of a corresponding color for a corresponding pixel and arranged from most to least significant bits, are received; a digital dither signal for each pixel to be displayed is generated; a selected number of the most significant bits of each received color signal are summed with the corresponding generated dither signal; a selected number of the least significant bits of the summed color and dither signals are discarded to compress the corresponding received color signal; the compressed color signals related to a common pixel are concatenated to generate a digital output signal having a predetermined bit length less than the summed bit lengths of the received digital color signals and representative of the depth intensities of three colors for the common pixel; and analog display driver signals representative of the color intensities of pixels to be displayed are generated by selecting from a color lookup table stored in a digital to analog converter analog signals corresponding to the stored output signals.

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for selecting one of a plurality of scanner nodes to perform scan operations for an interface node receiving a file request. A list includes a plurality of scanner nodes in a network and for each scanner node a performance value. One of the scanner nodes in the list is selected based on the performance values of the scanner nodes and the file is transmitted to the selected scanner node to perform a scan operation with respect to the file. Indication is received from the selected scanner node performing the scan operation whether a subset of code in the file matches code in a definition set. The file request is processed to result in execution of the file request based on the indication of whether the subset of code in the file matches a definition in the definition set.
摘要:
A method of managing at least one client computer program in a managed application environment can include receiving a request from at least one of a plurality of client computer programs to begin a timer. The timer can correspond to an identified task of the client computer program which has been identified as a time-out susceptible task, and which is executing within a particular thread of execution of the client computer program. The timer corresponding to the request and the time-out susceptible task can be selectively started in a separate thread of execution. The identified task can be timed. If the timer expires, a recovery action can be performed corresponding to the time-out susceptible task.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for rendering data for display. The data represents a model space and the method includes the following steps. A first step associates individual points in the model space with individual vertices (V) of an irregular grid cell enclosed by faces. Each of the points has an associated luminosity value and an associated opacity value. A next step orders the faces of the grid cells. The faces are preferably ordered by depth referenced to a view plane. A further step processes individual faces for determining, for all viewing rays that project from pixels on the view plane and that intersect the face being processed, an amount of light arriving at the pixel. The amount of light arriving at the pixel is a function of both the luminosity and the opacity of a grid cell that lies adjacent to the face and through which the viewing ray passes.
