摘要： An interactive processor-controlled system for entering and storing user information about an event that is being concurrently recorded in real time correlates the user information to user-requested addresses, such as time values stored with the recorded signals. The system includes a recording device for producing signals indicating recorded event data that includes periodic addresses, each of which indicates a portion of the recorded signals. An address source, such as a clock, is connected for providing address values to both the processor and the recording device. Using a pen-based user interface in one embodiment of the system, the system user specifically requests an address value in order to correlate user information to the signals being concurrently recorded. In response to a request for an address, the system establishes a spatial region on the display, called a time zone, into which the system user may enter information, in the form of handwritten strokes, about the event. All information entered into a time zone is stored and correlated with the address value represented by the time zone, in effect creating a log of the recorded event that may be used to access the portions of the recorded signals. While time zones are created by the user in sequential time order, information can be entered in to time zones in any sequence, thereby facilitating editing and annotation of previously-entered information. The ability to correlate the recorded signals to keywords designated in the user-supplied information is also provided.

摘要： An interactive method and system to support and facilitate note-taking tasks in a variety of settings, primarily, though not exclusively, in real time. In one embodiment, the system user uses a stylus device and display to enter notes in the form of handwritten strokes that are stored and correlated with an address, such as a time provided by a system clock. Notes are collected in a data structure represented by a spatial region on the display called an address, or time, zone that is created when the user enters a gesture requesting an address from the system. All notes entered in a particular time zone region in the display area are stored in a portion of the data structure correlated with the time associated with that time zone region, and, while time zones are created in sequential time order, notes are may be entered in time zones in any sequence and still be correlated with that time zone. An additional feature provides for designating a portion of the user's notes as a key word, which can then be associated with other time zones to connect key words with times and notes. The strokes entered and designated as a key word are assigned a unique, system-recognizable identifier. A data structure stores the strokes of the key word, its location in the display area and the times zones it is associated with. A well-designed user interface provides workspaces for creating and using time zones and for easily displaying and using key words.

摘要： A user-interactive method for use in a processor controlled machine provides a user with the capability to retrieve and manipulate associations previously established among image segments in a single or in multiple data structures, where the image segments are stored as image data and not as recognized or interpreted information. The use of certain designated image segments, called key objects, for association with one or more other stored image segments in effect imposes a user-defined categorization structure on the image segments with which key objects are associated, producing groups of image segments associated with respective key object. The categorized information for a particular key object is retrievable and displayable with the key object image, also without performing a recognition operation, providing an indexing mechanism into the image data. Multiple groupings of categorized information may be presented in a tabular format, showing the relationship between key objects and image segments, and the tabular presentation may be used as a user interface for the post-creation manipulation and alteration of key object associations in order to further refine or extend the categorization structure. The invention is particularly useful in systems that provide for a stylus- or pen-based computing interface, since it provides a powerful mechanism for manipulating relationships that are semantically significant to a user between handwritten symbols represented as images without the need to perform a recognition operation on the images.

摘要： A user-interactive method for use in a processor-controlled machine provides a user with the capability to establish associations among image segments in a data structure that indicate visually-displayed but otherwise not recognized or interpreted information, for the purpose of retrieving the unrecognized data from the data structure without performing a recognition operation. A user selects and designates a visually recognizable, but computationally unrecognized, displayed image segment as a coherent display object, called a key object, to function as an indexing mechanism. The user then associates the key object with data objects, which may also be computationally unrecognized, that are stored in a target data structure. The key object can be used as an access mechanism to retrieve the target data without recognition of either the key object or the target data. For this reason the method is particularly useful in systems that provide for a stylus- or pen-based computing interface, since it provides a flexible and powerful information indexing capability while avoiding the need to perform generally error prone recognition operations on handwritten or other graphical symbols. A key object is assigned a unique identifier that is computationally distinguishable from other key object identifiers, and a key object-to-data association is established between the unique identifier and the target display object. A well-designed graphical user interface permits key objects to be easily created, associated with displayed information, and reused.

摘要： A graphical input and display system for creating and manipulating an abstract graphical image by decomposing it into abstract elemental objects and organizing the elemental objects into a set of perceptually coherent composite objects. The system includes an input device for entering the graphical image, such as a mouse or digitizer and electronic stylus, a display, and a function selection system for manipulating the graphical image. The system decomposes the graphical image entered onto the display into abstract elemental objects each consisting of one or more consecutive "on" pixels within the image. The system organizes the elemental objects into composite objects, which are abstract groups of elemental objects, such that each elemental object belongs to one or more composite objects and each composite object contains one or more elemental objects. The elemental and composite objects are linked in a lattice data structure stored in system memory. When a user manipulates the graphical image, the system creates new elemental objects in the manipulated region of the image, reorganizes all or part of the composite objects into one or more new composite objects, and updates the lattice data structure.
