摘要： A document management apparatus minimizes the busy time of a cursor by using asynchronous servicing of responses from repositories, and by executing the cursor control process during time intervals between receiving responses. Also during these time intervals, other processes can be launched in response to actions using the cursor and commands initiated by the user. The apparatus has a find tool to transmit a first search request for a category of documents; processing a first response to the first request, the first response having a list of documents found in the category; and transmitting a search request for selected attribute value pairs for each document in the list. The apparatus has a display comprising: a document display for displaying a blank document screen object for each document in the list; updating a screen object corresponding to a document whose attribute is received by the apparatus, the update occurring in response to receipt of a message carrying the attribute and corresponding value.

摘要： A system for displaying documents on a computer controlled display device is disclosed. The disclosed system supports displaying documents as strands, such that documents in a strand follow a strand path. The strand path is a two dimensional line through a three dimensional display space. The documents displayed on the strand are known as child documents, and each strand also has a parent document. Various constraints defining the strand are associated with the parent document, including a strand function defining the strand path when evaluated, minimum and maximum separation constraints defining the distance between the child documents on the strand, and an origin constraint defining the positional relationship of the strand path to the display of the parent document.

摘要： A sensor node or a control device node is for a home system including a server and a fob. The node includes a household object, and a sensor, control or display device embedded in or substantially within the household object. The sensor, control or display device includes a first wireless port adapted to wirelessly communicate with the server, a second port adapted to communicate with the fob when the fob is proximate to the second port, and a processor operatively associated with the first wireless port and the second port. The processor is adapted to receive proximity information from the second port and responsively communicate with the server through the first wireless port, in order to configure the sensor, control or display device.

摘要： An apparatus for displaying documents on a computer controlled display device provides a method for clipping. To clip a document is to restrict the viewable area of the screen object on the computer controlled display device associated with the document. A workspace viewer process maintains the documents in a three-dimensional virtual workspace. A document renderer and attribute-value pairs accomplish clipping in the virtual workspace. Clip stops constrain the clipping edges of a document so that the document may be clipped only to a specified set of positions.

摘要： A system for displaying documents on a computer controlled display device is disclosed. The system displays documents either in a completely free-form, user controlled configuration or as strands, such that documents in a strand follow a strand path. The strand path is a two dimensional line through a three dimensional display space. The documents displayed on the strand are known as child documents, and each strand also has a parent document. Various constraints defining the strand are associated with the parent document, including a strand function defining the strand path, minimum and maximum separation constraints defining the distance between the child documents on the strand, and an origin constraint defining the positional relationship of the strand path to the screen object of the parent document.

摘要： A system includes fobs and sensors each of which has a wireless transceiver, a processor and a battery powering the transceiver and processor. A server includes a processor and wireless transceiver, both of which are mains-powered. A fob processor timer repetitively causes its processor to enter a normal mode from a sleep mode, cause the transceiver to enter a powered state from a reduced power state, and send a wireless message from its transceiver to the server transceiver to request data therefrom. A sensor processor timer repetitively causes its processor to enter a normal mode from a sleep mode, cause the transceiver to enter a powered state from a reduced power state, read an analog or digital input, and send a wireless message based upon the read input from its transceiver to the server transceiver to provide data thereto. Each of the timers times asynchronously with respect to other timers.

摘要： A document management apparatus provides a user to define delimiters in order to specify portions of documents or attributes of documents to be retrieved from a document repository. The repository is searched for the defined delimiters and the portions of the documents or the attributes of documents are retrieved and put into a cache memory. The user-defined delimiters may be multi-character delimiters. The cache memory and the document repository may be connected over a network.

摘要： A computer controlled information management system is disclosed, including one or more documents. Documents in the system consist of attributes, each attribute having a name and a value. Attributes that are permanently stored with a document are permanent attributes. Attributes which are created only when a document is currently being displayed are ephemeral attributes. Ephemeral attributes store information regarding the visual display of the documents. Ephemeral attributes may be converted into permanent attributes and stored with the documents after the user is done referencing or modifying them. Ephemeral attributes may also be transferred between multiple simultaneous users of a common document through system communications channels. Documents are stored in repositories for long term storage, and are only sent to a client user interface when needed. The repositories are typically on server devices or secondary storage, but may also be in the same unit as the server. Ephemeral attributes may be converted into permanent attributes and stored with their associated documents in the repositories.

摘要： A system for retrieval of documents in a client-server environment is disclosed. The system provides compatibility between an attribute based document display system and diverse query languages within remote document repositories. The system includes a local process running on a client module, and a remote process running within each document repository. Each remote process is designed for the particular model of computer used for the server. Each remote process executes a System Query Language (SQL) used by a particular database program running on the server. A particular server may have several database programs implemented thereon, and each database program has a dedicated remote process, where the remote process is matched to the particular database program. The local process on the user's workstation launches inquiries in a first format on the network. Each remote process receiving an inquiry translates the received inquiry into the System Query Language required by its server and its database program. When the database program returns a response to the System Query language inquiry, the remote process translates the response into the first format, and returns the response to the local process by transmitting a reply over the network.

摘要： An information processing system is disclosed, having documents consisting of attributes. Each attribute contains a name and a value. The value of an attribute may be executable script. When a specified event occurs, an interpreter evaluates the script and executes the resulting object code on a microprocessor. Examples of the specified event are the document being referenced by a user or the document being received by a remote node. The script itself within the value of an attribute may be written by the user, or selected by the user from a pre-packaged system library of script routines. When the script is executed, it causes certain events to occur. Example events include sending an acknowledgement message when the document is received or read, sending digitized speech data from within the document to a digital to analog converter to be played through a loudspeaker, and sending digitized speech data from within the document to a speech recognition engine which converts the digitized speech data into text, and displays the text on a display device.
