摘要:
The present invention provides a solution for users of voice recognition systems who still need visual feedback in order to confirm the accuracy of spoken commands but need to operate in a “hands-off” mode with respect to computer input. In an interactive computer controlled display system with speech command input recognition, the present invention provides a system for confirming the recognition of a command by first predetermining a plurality of speech commands for respectively designating each of a corresponding plurality of system actions and providing means for detecting such speech commands. There also are means responsive to a detected speech command for displaying said command for a predetermined time period, during which time the user may give a spoken command to stop the system action designated by said displayed command. In the event that said system action is not stopped during said predetermined time period, the system action designated by said displayed command will be executed. The user need not wait for the expiration of the time period if he notes that the displayed command is the right one; he has speech command means for executing the system action designated by said displayed command prior to the expiration of said time period. This may be as simple as just repeating the displayed command.

The present invention is a system and method for creating a real-world object as a bitmap image are provided. Initially, the background pixels in the frame buffer are assigned the same color which is different from any color found in the object. A region is created corresponding to the area that the object will occupy. Next, an application window is created on the desktop having borders, title bar, scroll bar, and the like. The size of the window will correspond to the dimensions of the bitmap image. A clipping function is then implemented to remove all of the areas in the application window which do not correspond to the bitmap image.

In an interactive computer controlled display system with speech command input recognition and visual feedback, implementations are provided for predetermining a plurality of speech commands for respectively initiating each of a corresponding plurality of system actions in combination with implementations for providing for each of said plurality of commands, an associated set of speech terms, each term having relevance to its associated command. Also included are implementations for detecting speech command and speech terms. The system provides an implementation responsive to a detected speech command for displaying said command, and an implementation responsive to a detected speech term having relevance to one of said commands for displaying the relevant command. The system further comprehends an interactive implementation for selecting a displayed command to thereby initiate a system action; this selecting implementation is preferably through a speech command input. The system preferably displays the basic speech commands simultaneously along with the relevant commands.

A physical play-in-place case for housing and playing a media disc, such as an audio compact disc (CD). The case comprises a base, a shell attached to the base defining a cavity for receiving a CD, the shell further having a landing portion defining a spine area extending substantially along a common side of the base and the shell, and a cover hinged to the base along the spine area. Playback controls are located at the landing portion of the shell and extend into the spine area. At least one audio output device is located in the shell. A track/time display can also be located at the landing portion of the shell. In a further embodiment, a graphic display panel is attached to the cover, and may be viewed when the cover is in the closed position. A touch screen may be operatively combined with the graphic display panel. The case can be fabricated in the same size as conventional CD jewel cases, i.e., with dimensions no greater than about 14 cm×12.5 cm×10 cm.

A data processing system, software program, and method scale the contents of a window or similar display area in unison and in proportion. During operation, all of the contained control, text, and images included in the window are scaled proportionately so that a user is still able to use the displayed object and the displayed object retains its characteristic image. Composite images of realistically-rendered objects are resized and moved in a manner which is dependent upon a common non-changing representation of a container and a contained object displayed on a display device. When the common non-changing representation is modified by resizing, a scaling operation is performed on the composite image as a whole. However, when the representation of a contained object is modified and the common non-changing representation is no longer displayed, a region of a contained object is "clipped out" from the container before the image is displayed. The contained object is then allowed to display its image as is required in light of the movement and resizing operations desired by the user.

A speech recognition system which does not switch modes of operation when interpreting speech queries, such as help queries, or receiving actual spoken commands. The system handles both concurrently and seamlessly in the same operation mode. The present invention is directed to an interactive computer controlled display system with speech recognition comprising an implementation for predetermining a plurality of speech commands each associated with a corresponding plurality of system actions in combination with an implementation for concurrently detecting speech commands and speech queries for locating commands. There is also provided an implementation responsive to a detected speech command for carrying out the system action corresponding to the command, and an implementation responsive to a detected speech query for attempting to locate commands applicable to said query. The system also includes an implementation for displaying the detected speech query together with an implementation for displaying located commands applicable to said query.

A data processing system and method is provided for performing "drag and drop" operations of compound objects using system platforms, such as JAVA, which do not support compound objects or nested containment interface designs. In the data processing system and method of operating said system, a container object will include software and logic necessary to call up a contained object in a separate window. The second window is then handled by a window associated with the container object and a modified parent-child relationship. A size and a position of the second window are defined relative to the first window. Therefore, the second window associated with the contained object can be super imposed and precisely positioned over the window associated with the container object. Furthermore, when the window associated with the container object is dragged or resized, the position and size of the second window are modified and moved in unison. However, it should be noted that the second window associated with a contained object can be dragged independently. Thus, the contained object may be dragged from the container object.
摘要:
A generic font request is changed to an operating system specific format font request. A font request is received from an application by a font handler. Both the application and the font handler are typically run by an operating system in a computer memory. Once the font handler determines that the font request is a generic font request, i.e. is in a format different than the operating system specific format expected by the operating system, it translates the generic font request to an operating system specific format font request.

A method and system in a multimedia computer system for automatically retrieving and presenting data associated with an audio recording having unique identifying indicia therein. In response to playing an audio recording in a multimedia computer system, a unique identifying indicia associated with the audio recording is identified. A listing of codes within the multimedia computer system is automatically searched to find a code corresponding to the unique identifying indicia. In response to finding the code corresponding to the unique identifying indicia, multimedia data is retrieved which corresponds to the unique identifying indicia. The multimedia data can be retrieved from local storage or from a remote network site. The multimedia data corresponding to the unique identifying indicia is then presented in the multimedia computer system, while playing the audio recording in the multimedia computer system.
