    摘要: A data processing system, software program, and method of operation realistically displays a users model of a device as an object, while providing additional functions which cannot exist in the devices real-world counterparts. The data processing system and software program allow a view or a realistically-rendered object and a function associated with that object to be selectively modified in response to a user input. During operation, a cursor displayed by a display device (138) is used to access a view changing mechanism displayed on the realistically-rendered object. By selectively accessing the view changing mechanism, a user is able to change a view of the realistically-rendered object from a base function view to a full function view.

    摘要: A system, method and computer program for a virtual three-dimensional workspace wherein certain three-dimensional objects represent or serve as proxies for a variety of user interactive application programs. Such objects may be selected or triggered by the user to bring forth planar two-dimensional interactive user interfaces having images resembling those of their respective representative 3D objects so that a user may intuitively note the resemblance and select the appropriate object to result in the planar two-dimensional interactive interface appearing in front of the three-dimensional workspace. This two-dimensional planar interface remains active and unaffected by changes to its representative three-dimensional object during the course of navigation or otherwise. A drag and drop technique facilitates viewer interaction between images in a two-dimensional workplane with three-dimensional objects in the virtual three-dimensional workspace.

    摘要: A uniquely programmed computer system, computer-implemented method, and computer readable memory embodying computer-readable detailed logic (i.e., computer readable program code) direct a computer system to display an image map having graphical objects thereon and an original appearance. At least a first portion of the graphical objects are links to other documents. The method includes the step of changing the original appearance of the first portion of the graphical objects to indicate that those graphical objects are links. This step is performed in response to user controls (e.g., a user positioning a mouse cursor) positioned on the image map.

    摘要: A computer controlled user interactive display system having the customary provision of user access to the files stored therein through the display of a plurality of interactive objects which may be icons or even text representing the files usually in an arrangement of hierarchical screens. In addition, the system has means for displaying a set of high interactivity objects separate from the display of the plurality of objects. This set of high activity objects is developed through means for monitoring user interactivity with respect to basic plurality of interactive objects and means responsive to the monitoring means for selecting a set of high interactivity objects having user interactivity greater than selected levels. The system further includes means for displaying the set of high interactivity objects responsive to any file request so that the high interactivity objects are immediately displayed in response to any file request.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for moving one or more objects from and returning them to a user visible portion of a work plane, which includes but is larger than the visible portion, by interpreting a single user input action and in response thereto changing the position of the objects. Objects remain in the work plane in either the user visible or non-user visible portions. In one embodiment, a smaller than actual representation of the entire work plane is displayed with that portion of the work plane currently in focus by the user.
