A mechanism is provided for detecting when a wireless device is entering a quiet zone. An out-of-range condition is created in an entryway to a quiet zone. When a wireless device is in a transition zone, the device transmits a re-scan message with a unit identification in an attempt to reestablish communication with the communication tower. A re-scan receiver is provided in the entryway to receive re-scan messages and notify a mobile telephone switching office that the device is entering a quiet zone. The switching office then sends a ring type modifier property to the device when the device leaves the transition zone and reestablishes communications with the communication tower.

Disclosed is a system, method, and program for uninstalling a program and deleting files. The program is defined by a plurality of file sets. Each file set defines a set of functions performed by the program. A flag is provided with each file set of the program indicating one of a first and second value. The flag values indicate those files which are enabled and unenabled to be deleted. A determination is made as to the file sets having the first flag value. A graphical user interface (GUI) then displays at least one user selectable option to uninstall at least one determined file set or file having the first flag value. User input is then received indicating file sets or files to delete or uninstall and the file sets the user input indicated to uninstall are uninstalld.

The system, method, and program of this invention enables a developer to write a platform independent program that can read, create, modify, delete, and enumerate registry type of information regardless of whether or not a targeted operating system supports a registry or registry equivalent functionality. More specifically, as disclosed herein, in a preferred embodiment, there is a global registry object for carrying out, i.e., mapping, registry functions or registry equivalent functions across multiple operating systems. In particular, the global registry object is used to read, create, modify, delete, and enumerate registries for the Windows operating system in a simplified manner. The global registry object has the following fields: keyname, key root, and key value. The key root field is mapped to a root in a registry of a Windows operating system. The keyname field is mapped to a key and any subkeys, if they exist, in the Windows registry. The key value field is mapped to a value in the Windows registry. As such, the Windows registry can be manipulated through methods of the global registry object.

A padded wrist rest that is integral with a portable electronic device, meaning that the wrist rest is sold with the device and does not have to be removed from the device to close and store the device, is disclosed. While integral to the portable electronic device, the wrist rest of the present invention can be removed by the user or owner of the portable electronic device for maintenance or replacement. The wrist rest may be single- or multiple-part, and includes one or more pads manufactured from encapsulated gel, closed-cell foam, fabric-covered padding, vinyl-covered padding, or leather-covered padding. The wrist rest may include one or more bases that are slid, screwed, or snapped into place on the portable electronic device.

Systems, methods and articles of manufacture allow adjusting the relative weighting associated with evaluation criteria associated with a unified view of dissimilar data. The operation generally includes collecting data regarding attributes of a user interacting with an application, where the collected data has associated evaluation criteria. The data is collectively represented according to the evaluation criteria. The systems, methods and articles of manufacture then allow dynamically modifying the evaluation criteria before evaluating and collectively representing the data according to the adjusted criteria.

A methodology for generating a drop shadow effect for objects in a graphical user interface is presented. A first object in a presentation space occludes the illumination from a simulated light source, and a dynamically determined drop shadow from the first object may partially occlude a second object. A portion of a drop shadow from the first object is shown on the second object; the portion of the drop shadow from the first object is displaced from the first object in direct proportion to a z-depth difference between the first object and the second object. Hence, a drop shadow can be generated in a computationally inexpensive manner, and the dynamically determined drop shadow enhances the perception of depth within the presentation space by a user.

A method, system, and apparatus for updating code in a software program is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a patch is provided to a plurality of versions of a program, wherein the program is updated by an installation program and a plurality of versions of the installer program exist. Next, it is determined whether the version of the installer program is incorrect. If it is, the installer program is updated from files in the patch. The patch is then installed into the program using the updated installer program.

A method, system and apparatus for loading the correct version of a file in a system in which multiple versions of the same file and multiple versions of a requesting application reside. In a preferred embodiment, a class loader receives a request, from a requesting application, to load a file. The request includes an indication of the current version of the requesting application. The class loader retrieves from a plurality of files, the one version of the requested file that is compatible with the requesting application and then loads that file. Each of the plurality of files includes an indication of plurality of versions for which the particular file is compatible and the version of the requesting application is within the plurality of versions for which the selected file is compatible.
摘要:
A system, method, and program utilizes a software state machine for carrying out the processes and functions of a program. The components of a program, e.g., the process flow, functions, dialogs, etc., are implemented using various states. A value of a state variable indicates a corresponding state. A method checks for a current value of the state variable. Any given function within any given state, or input received from a user, such as through “next” or “previous” buttons on a dialog box, can return a value for the state variable. When the method determines a new value of the state variable, an object corresponding to the state indicated by the new value is brought up and enabled. A vector keeps track of the sequence of states being executed so that a value indicating a previous state will return the program to the previous state without having program logic built into a state of how the program arrived at that state. A program utilizing a software state machine is easily customized by merely adding or deleting states or by changing a value of the state variable returned for a given function within a state or for any given input received. As such, new functions can be added to a program by adding new states; functions can be deleted by deleting states; and the flow of the program can be changed by changing a value of the state variable that is returned.
