Object-field-based mathematics system

Номер: US20120107779A1
Принадлежит: Individual

An apparatus includes a processor, a computer memory, a user interface, and computer-executable instructions which enable a user to formulate mathematical expressions via the user interface. The mathematical expression is composed from objects selected from a library of object types in the memory. The object types include primitive objects and non-primitive objects. Non-primitive objects contain at least one field which in turn can contain additional objects; primitive objects have no fields. The mathematical expression is defined by a computer-readable data structure in the memory, and each object and field has a mathematical significance assigned thereto. The data structure uniquely identifies each object and each field, and includes pointers to define nesting of the objects and fields in the mathematical expression. The computer-executable instructions include steps to identify user inputs with at least some of the objects, and to display the mathematical expression represented by the data structure via the display.

Repositioning a Value Axis

Номер: US20120109845A1
Автор: Mark W. Triplett
Принадлежит: Trading Technologies International Inc

Various embodiments of a trading screen allow a market value indicator to go out of view without necessarily triggering a command to reposition a value axis. The value axis may be repositioned to bring the market value indicator back in view when the market value indicator satisfies a threshold condition. The threshold condition is defined such that it is possible for the market value indicator to go out of view and not trigger a command to reposition the value axis. Various embodiments automatically reposition the value axis in a way that can provide the user with more overall control of the trading screen than previous trading screens. Further, the user may gain increased confidence in using the trading display, particularly with respect to single action order entry, because there is less risk of the value changing on the display during order entry. These advantages and others will be evident to a person of ordinary skill in the art of the embodiments described herein.

Primary content of the document is displayed in a first segment of the segmented user interface and supplementary content of the document is concurrently displayed in a second segment of the segmented user interface distinct from the first segment. The device receives a request to view user-generated content of the document. In response to the request, the device maintains display of the previously displayed primary content, ceases to display at least a portion of the previously displayed supplementary content, and displays user-generated content of the document in a third segment of the segmented user interface distinct from the first segment and the second segment.

Номер: US20120198325A1
Принадлежит: TBWA Worldwide Inc

A system and method are provided for a network-based content management system (CMS) for providing a creative storytelling platform. Such platform may provide for information to be shared via a slide(s). For example, such slide(s) can be an image, text, text with an image, text with a background image, an RSS feed, a feed from a blog, a feed from a Twitter stream, a Vimeo video, etc. The slides can be grouped together and nested below or above one or more slides. The slide can be associated in a hierarchy which extends horizontally and vertically. Embodiments of the present invention provide for the hierarchical set of slides to be navigated by a user via a keyboard, touchscreen, or other communication means. The views of the slides can be changed, e.g., from filmstrip to grid view to single slide full screen views. One or more slides and/or sets of slides can be password protected.

Private views of data and local calculations during real time collaboration

Номер: US20120216103A1
Принадлежит: Microsoft Corp

Techniques for performing a process during a real time collaboration by multiple users or clients on a spreadsheet file are disclosed herein which may permit calculations to be performed locally by at least one of the clients. By doing so, increases in performance are realized since only data updates need to be provided to the host machine. As such, a determination is preferably made whether calculations performed locally can result in different data. If conflicting data is a possibility, then the calculations for the spreadsheet file will usually be performed remotely by a host machine. If not, then each client capable of doing so will perform the calculations locally and then provide only the updated data to the host machine. The determination of whether to perform the calculations locally or not may also be made dynamically, such as when one or more new formulas are added to the spreadsheet file.

A system and method provides a natural language interface to world-wide web content. Either in advance or dynamically, webpage content is parsed using a parsing algorithm. A person using a telephone interface can provide speech information, which is converted to text and used to automatically fill in input fields on a webpage form. The form is then submitted to a database search and a response is generated. Information contained on the responsive webpage is extracted and converted to speech via a text-to-speech engine and communicated to the person.

An information processing apparatus is connected to a viewing apparatus through which a document is viewed. A view management part creates view information that indicates a viewed portion of the document where the document has been viewed. A document management part creates change information that indicates a changed portion of the document where the document has been changed. A creation part creates individual apparatus basis change information that indicates a coincident portion where the viewed portion indicated in the view information and the changed portion indicated in the change information are coincident with each other. A transmission part transmits the individual apparatus basis change information to the viewing apparatus through which the document was viewed.

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program product for managing session data. The process determines whether preexisting session data associated with a request for content is present in response to receiving the request. Responsive to an absence of the preexisting session data being associated with the request, the process generates session data associated with the request. The process then generates a response page having a set of forms including a set of hidden fields. The set of hidden fields include the session data. Thereafter, the process sends the response page to a client browser.
