摘要： The present invention is a method and system that determines the connection availability of a mobile or cellular device to the communication network in the current location of the mobile or cellular device. The system of the present invention comprises a communication tower containing a means to monitor the current connection capacity of the tower. This monitoring process would involve establishing the maximum call connection capability of the tower. This process also maintains a current count of the number of calling devices that are connected through the tower. As the number of connections increases toward the maximum number of connections, the tower will begin to broadcast messages to mobile and cellular telephone devices in the area of the tower the current connection capability to that tower. The mobile or cellular devices would receive the message and display the information to the device user. With this information, the user could decide whether to continue to attempt to call via the tower or to wait to a later time or until the caller is in another area than the current calling tower.

摘要： A parking management system is provided for optimizing parking situations based on preferences of individual drivers. A surveyor collects parking information, which identifies whether or not parking spaces are occupied by a vehicle. Parking information may be collected by sensors located near or within the parking spaces themselves. The parking information is stored in a parking data structure, such as a database, which also stores properties for the spaces. A profile data structure, such as a database, contains profiles for users of the parking structure. The parking management system identifies a user and retrieves the profile of the user from the profile data structure. The parking management system then searches the parking data structure for available spots and selects a spot or set of spots that most closely match the user's preferences. The parking management system then presents the spot of set of spots to the driver.

摘要： A user input mechanism is provided that allows a user to enter words as gestures on a virtual keyboard presented on the display device. The user input mechanism combines two existing and prevalent forms of user input: cursive handwriting and keyboard input. A familiar keyboard layout is presented on the display. A user then may place an implement, such as a stylus or the user's finger, in contact with the display. Typically, the implement will first touch the screen at a position of a first character in a word. The user then may move the implement along the surface of the display from character to character, spelling out a word.

摘要： The present invention is a method and system that adjusts the contents on a display screen based on the distance of the user from the screen. This invention comprises a display screen with a distance approximator mechanism either attached the display screen or positioned in close proximity to the screen. This distance approximator detects user movement and calculates the distance that the user is from the screen. As the distance of the user from the screen increases or decreases, the method of the invention adjusts the contents of the screen. The screen adjustments can comprise enlarging the size of the information on the screen as the user moves further from the screen. The contents can also be reduced as the user returns to a local distance to the display screen. The display content adjustment techniques of the present invention enable a user to view screen contents from abnormally far distances from the screen without the need for the user to continually travel back and forth to and from the display screen.

摘要翻译： 本发明是一种基于用户与屏幕的距离来调整显示屏幕上的内容的方法和系统。 本发明包括具有距离近似机构的显示屏幕或者附接在显示屏上或者定位在靠近屏幕的位置。 该距离近似器检测用户移动并计算用户离屏幕的距离。 随着用户与屏幕的距离的增加或减小，本发明的方法调节屏幕的内容。 屏幕调整可以包括随着用户从屏幕进一步移动而在屏幕上扩大信息的大小。 当用户返回到显示屏幕的本地距离时，内容也可以减少。 本发明的显示内容调整技术使得用户能够从与屏幕异常远的距离观看屏幕内容，而不需要用户连续地往返于显示屏。

摘要： A web browser plug-in supports a team approach to Internet research. An initial search, preferably by a web robot, generates an initial plurality of potentially relevant URLs, which are stored in a shared URL database. Team members are notified when new URLs are added to the database. Team members, optionally through an access control system, evaluate and rank the URLs for relevance. URLs are managed based on their rank, such as ordering their display and deleting non-relevant URLs. The rank of a URL may be indicated visually in a web browser, such as by displaying graphic icons adjacent its title. The method may be iterative, with additional searches conducted, preferably via additional web robots, with the additional URLs returned being evaluated, ranked, and managed in the URL database.

摘要： A system, system, and program for facilitating navigation of voice data are provided. Tokens are added to voice data based on predefined content criteria. Then, bidirectional scanning of the voice data to a next token within the voice data is enabled, such that navigation to pertinent locations within the voice data during playback is facilitated. When adding tokens to voice data, the voice data may be scanned to detect pauses, changes in voice inflection, and other vocal characteristics. Based on the detected vocal characteristics, tokens identifying ends of sentences, separations between words, and other structures are marked. In addition, when adding tokens to voice data, the voice data may be first converted to text. The text is then scanned for keywords, phrases, and types of information. Tokens are added in the voice data at locations identified within the text as meeting the predefined content criteria.
