Abstract: A method of performing power down of a computer monitor when a video signal is no longer present and apparatus which performs the method schedules an automatic power conservation mode after a given period of time unless an inhibiting power sustain command embedded in the video signal is received. The power sustain command is placed in the regular video signal at a regular interval. The frequency of the command may be made shorter than the power-off timeout in order to maintain the power-on state of the monitor. Multiple time lapse thresholds may be set to permit multiple power conservation modes. This method may be implemented without making hardware changes in retrofitting a monitor.

Abstract: A user interface of a digital camera permits the user to set the camera to a setting that represents what they want to do with the resulting image, rather than all of the parameters that are necessary to produce the image. Each of a set of aliases, shortcuts, vectors, or the like represent a set of parameter settings. The shortcuts are assigned names which are related to the final use of the image produced with that parameter set, that is, a name the user can understand. For example, these settings' names may be “email”, “up to 4×6”, “up to 5×7”, “up to 8×10”, or “best quality possible.” With these settings, if the user is taking pictures to email or view on a PC, then a lower resolution and compression parameter can be used. If the user wants to make 8×10 prints, they select that shortcut and the camera adjusts resolution and compression to deliver images that will produce good 8×10 prints.

Abstract translation: 数字照相机的用户界面允许用户将照相机设置为表示他们想要对所得到的图像做什么的设置，而不是产生图像所需的全部参数。 一组别名，快捷方式，向量等中的每一个表示一组参数设置。 快捷键被分配与最终使用由该参数集生成的图像相关的名称，即用户可以理解的名称。 例如，这些设置的名称可能是“电子邮件”，“高达4x6”，“高达5x7”，“高达8x10”或“最佳品质”。 通过这些设置，如果用户正在电脑上拍照或在PC上查看，则可以使用较低的分辨率和压缩参数。 如果用户想要制作8x10张照片，他们会选择该快捷方式，相机会调整分辨率和压缩率，以提供可产生良好8x10打印的图像。

Abstract: An electronic recipe manager capable of merging two or more electronic recipes into a task list that can be executed to prepare a multiple dishes or food items of a complete a meal is described. Electronic recipes for preparing one or more food items are retrieved wherein each recipe includes at least one task. The recipes are then merged by combining the task(s) of each recipe to provide a task list suitable for use in preparing the food items, wherein the tasks are arranged chronologically so that the food items are completed and made ready to serve at substantially the same time. In exemplary embodiments, merging of the recipes may be accomplished by interrogating a database associating each task within the recipes with a time requirement describing the estimated time required for performing the task. When a task is performed, the actual time required for performing the task may be determined and used for updating the time requirement associated with the task.

Abstract: A method and system for adjusting the settings of an information handling system based on the individual user preferences of one or more users is disclosed. An individual user preference profile is retrieved for each identified user of the information handling system. A combined user preference profile is negotiated based on the individual user preference profiles retrieved for each identified user. The settings are then adjusting based on the combined user preference profile. A user interface identifies users of the information handling system. A system controller retrieves an individual user preference profile for each identified user, negotiates a combined user preference profile based on the individual user preference profiles retrieved for each identified user, and adjusts the settings of the information handling system based on the combined user preference profile.

Abstract: A computerized system for keyboard control of compact-disc read only memory (CD-ROM) audio of a computer. The computer has a CD-ROM player, a, computer keyboard and a basic input/output system (BIOS). The CD-ROM player is receptive to an audio compact disc (CD). The keyboard has a plurality of keys for entry of one or more predetermined sequences of one or more keystrokes by a user of the computer, each predetermined sequence corresponding to an audio function of the CD-ROM player. The BIOS is operatively coupled to the CD-ROM player and the keyboard, and in response to detecting a predetermined sequence of keystrokes entered by the user on the keyboard operatively signals the CD-ROM player to execute a corresponding audio function. In a further embodiment, the system also comprises an operating system and a CD-ROM control application. The operating system receives a command sent by the BIOS in response to detecting a predetermined sequence of keystrokes entered by the user on the keyboard. The control application receives the command from the operating system and in response signals the CD-ROM player to execute the corresponding audio function.
