摘要:
A method for activating objects displayed on a touch screen by using a finger of a user. The method includes the steps of displaying one or more objects on the touch screen, detecting an activation event of a specific one of the one or more objects caused by the user touching the specific object, and displaying a first peripheral zone around the specific object. The peripheral zone contains a plurality of regions each for allowing the selection or activation of a function underlying the specific object by finger touch of the user.

A portable electronic device receives wireless signals from an external signal-generating source. The wireless signals include offering identifiers that are associated with an offering at a location of the external signal-generating source. The portable electronic device may determine the offering identifier from the wireless signal, and match the offering identifier with one or more offerings of interest that are selected by the user. The portable electronic device may determine the direction from which the wireless signal is received based on the strength of the wireless signal received by the antenna, and presenting an indicator to the user that indicates the direction to the location of the external signal-generating source if the offering identifier matches one or more of the offerings of interest as selected by the user.

A method, medium and implementing processing system are provided in which the presence of workers in a long highway construction zone is monitored and the electronically-controlled posted speed limit is adjusted in accordance with the detected presence of workers in the immediate area. In an example, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) scanners or readers are strategically placed in a construction or working area. Such RFID reading devices may be embedded, for example, in construction speed limit signs. The displayed speed limit is controlled by the detected proximity of construction workers wearing RFID-embedded clothing, for example, such as safety vests or helmets. The speed limit sign includes logic to display one of many possible speed limit displays based on the nearest, and/or the number of RFID signals detected in a given area. Vehicular traffic is thereby enabled to travel faster through construction zones where no workers are present and, when appropriate, traffic is slowed when workers are present within a given proximity of the RFID reading devices.
摘要:
The present invention is a method and apparatus for the detection of portable electronic device functionality. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention includes a chemically coated antenna to serve as a trigger for device functionality detection. The chemically coated antenna may be passively or actively detected. In active detection, a detection apparatus releases a chemical which reacts or otherwise respods with the chemical trigger in a detectable manner. The detection apparatus detects the reaction, which is specific to the functionality of the portable electronic device. In passive detection, a detection device simply detects the chemical trigger, which is specific to the portable electronic device functionality. Other trigger embodiments utilizing optics, radio frequency (RF) signals, sound waves, and magnetic identification are also disclosed.
摘要:
A method, computer program product, and a data processing system for generating a single object file from which a plurality of per-processor architecture executables may be produced. Source code includes instructions that are associated with a plurality of processor architectures and a plurality of instruction sets each associated with one of the plurality of processor architectures. The source code is compiled into an object file that includes common text and data associated with the plurality of processor architectures and a plurality of processor-specific data and text sets. The object file may then be linked by a processor of one of the plurality of processor architectures to produce an executable that is optimized for a plurality of processor architectures.

A method, system, and computer program product for implementing messaging services is provided. The method includes receiving a request to delete a message that includes an attachment from a computer system. In response to the request, a user of the computer system is provided with options to save the attachment and to delete the attachment along with the message. If the user selects the delete option, the message is sent to a messaging system trash folder and the attachment is sent to an operating system trash folder. If the user selects the option to save the attachment, the message is separated from the attachment and the user is prompted to select an operating system storage location for saving the attachment. In response to receiving the selected operating system storage location, a copy of the attachment is stored in the selected location and the message is sent to the messaging system trash folder.

摘要:
A computer implemented method and computer program product for managing audio information. The process retrieves an audio stream comprising audio information. The process generates a pair of audio tags in an audio tag frequency band. The audio tag frequency band is a frequency band different than the frequency band of the audio information. The audio tags correspond to a given function. The process superimposes the audio tags on the audio information to form a tagged audio information segment. The process retrieves the tagged audio information segment from the audio stream corresponding to the given function in response to receiving a selection of the given function. The tagged audio information segment can be managed according to the function to which the audio tags have been associated.
