摘要： The present invention provides speech and audio user-computer interface mechanisms for accessing and editing information in electronic records. A mechanism is provided by which the user can direct inputs to any of a variety of fields without following a predetermined order of input. This allows the user to be proactive in making entries rather than simply reacting to requirements set by computer-generated prompts. Audio is provided as feedback to the user, not as a fixed path prompt for the user. This feedback can be in the form of non-verbal auditory signals or synthesized speech. The invention uses audio to inform the user of whether or not the system understood the spoken words or phrases as valid inputs to the electronic record, what the system recognized as the input, and to identify the contents of various fields in the electronic record. The precise wording for the speech inputs can be changed from one implementation of the invention to another, depending on what terminology is most meaningful to users, works best with the speech recognition engine being used, etc. Likewise, the audio outputs from the system, both nonverbal sounds and synthesized speech, used in implementing this invention can vary from one application to another.

摘要： The present invention provides a user interface mechanism for adjusting the view of two-dimensional graphical plots so users can make compromises between the amount of detail that is presented on an electronic display and the range of data that can be within immediate view. It also provides a mechanism for controlling the subset of data that will be within view on an electronic display when the entire data plot exceeds the dimensions of the display. Finally, it provides a mechanism whereby a sliding lens may be selectively positioned over various portions of a graph, allowing the viewing of the graph at a selectable magnification.

摘要： This invention provides graphical user interface mechanisms for grouping and viewing data elements in a manner analogous to the way in which their physical world counterparts would interact. A system is provided by which users manipulate a pointing device (e.g., mouse, trackball, or touch screen monitor) to position iconic representations of data elements in a graphical representation of space (e.g., on an electronic map). If one icon is placed on top of another one that is an allowable container for the moved icon (i.e., that can be a parent data element for the data element represented by the moved icon), the moved icon disappears from immediate view and is placed inside the container. The contents of container icons can be viewed by placing the graphical pointer on top of them, resulting in the “blow-up” of those icons so that iconic and textual descriptions of their child data elements are displayed. Additionally, users can drill down on any container icon to display its properties and those of its child data elements by performing a selection action (e.g., left mouse button click) on that container icon.

摘要： A vote verification system and method which provides assurance to voters that their votes were processed. The system includes a computer including a reader, wherein the computer is for reading machine-readable information on a receipt containing both the machine-readable information and human-readable information as the voter presents the receipt to the reader, obtaining identifying information associated with a ballot of the voter, and providing the identifying information so that a voter may compare the identifying information to the human-readable information on the receipt.
