摘要:
An apparatus, graphical user interface, system, and method are provided for presenting a mapping between a namespace and a set of computing resources. The apparatus includes an input module, a format module, and an output module. The input module obtains a mapping between namespace identifiers and a set of computing resources. The format module associates a namespace identifier and a computing resource according to the mapping. The output module provides the namespace identifiers and the associated computing resource corresponding to each namespace identifier. A graphical user interface includes a window with a file system pane and a fileset pane. The file system pane includes a first tree control that displays the components of the file system. The fileset pane includes a second tree control that displays the filesets. The tree controls are updated in response to user input in either the file system pane or the fileset pane.

A portable storage device 10 includes a body 12, an actuator 16, and an indicator 18. When coupled to a host device 22, a user depressing the actuator 16 causes an interrupt message to be sent to the host device, which initiates shutdown of the portable device by removing it from a host device list of available storage media, and de-powers the portable device. The indicator then changes to signify that it is safe to remove the portable device from the host. The indicator may be visual, aural, or tactile. Preferably, the indicator uniquely identifies four states regarding the status of computer instruction exchange between the portable and host devices, including normal and inactive, normal and active, error, and ready-to-be-removed states. The latter is available only after actuating the actuator. Removal of the portable device is thereby effected by a single user action at the portable device: depressing the actuator.

Instructional information pertinent to a program application is automatically solicited and communicated from a user experienced within an application's function. Recorded interaction with the application by experienced users may be maintained within a database. A request for help may be matched to experienced users in the database based on their recorded usage. The matching process may also account for other factors, such as the physical location or preferred contact method of the experienced users. The experienced user may be selected for contact, and may have an opportunity to accept or decline the offer to help the requesting user. Communication information may be exchanged to facilitate the dispersal of the instructional information.
摘要:
An apparatus and kit to facilitate installation of hardware and software elements of a physical computer system. Poster media is provided with an ordered list of hardware oriented instructions, and at least one item in the list having software oriented installation instructions. Transportable media is attached to the poster media adjacent to the software oriented instructions to provide both the required software, as well as the timing for the installation at the correct time in the system installation process.
