    摘要: The present invention provides a mind mapping system that supports at least two types of topics: (1) topics that primarily provide a blank space in which text and graphic elements can be inserted by the user and (2) topics that operate as components with predefined behavior for the display of a certain kind of content. The first type of topic is well-known in the art, but the second type is novel. The second type of topic enables users to easily display, view and/or manipulate certain kinds of content within a topic. Examples of the second type of topic include topics that operate as video players for the display of video data, topics that operate as spreadsheet applications for the display of spreadsheet data, topics that operate as calculators for performing mathematical functions, and topics that act as interfaces to external systems, such as email systems, CAD systems, inventory/purchase order systems, and contact-management systems.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system, method, and software application for enabling a user to view data from an external data source in a visual map, wherein the external data source has a web services interface. Visual mapping software on a computer provides a visual mapping interface in which a user can create, edit, and/or view a visual map. Within the visual mapping interface, the visual mapping software provides the user with an option to obtain data from one or more data sources associated with a web service. In response to the user selecting a data source associated with a web service, the visual mapping software builds a web service request for the web service associated with the selected data source. The visual mapping application makes a call to the applicable web service with the web service request. The visual mapping application subsequently receives data from the web service and transforms the data into a format that can be used to generate visual map data. The visual mapping software then displays the data in a visual map.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system, method, and software application for enabling a user to initiate a search of a domain and view search results via a visual mapping interface on a computer. Visual mapping software on a computer provides a visual mapping interface into which a user can enter one or more search terms. The search terms entered by the user are used to search a search domain, such as an external website. Within the visual mapping interface, the visual mapping software provides the user with one or more search domain options, and the user selects a search domain. After the user enters search terms into the visual mapping interface and selects a search domain, the visual mapping software initiates a search of the selected domain based on the search terms. The visual mapping software subsequently receives search results for the search, and displays the search results in a visual map.
