| 20110225543 | USER INTERFACE WITH PREVIEW TRANSITIONS - A user interface is described that temporarily displays portions of a page that reside outside of the viewable area of the screen. An animated transition creates a brief preview of at least one user interface feature. Additionally, the user interface feature is then animated out of the viewable area in a way to suggest a location of the feature. In one embodiment, a target page that is being opened controls the transition and animates features into and out of the viewable area to create the temporary preview. In another embodiment, the target page includes user interface elements that can asynchronously control the preview animation independent from the main content of the target page. In yet another embodiment, a transition coordinator can coordinate the timing between animating out a foreground application while animating in a target application. | 09-15-2011 |
| 20110225547 | CONTROL OF TIMING FOR ANIMATIONS IN DYNAMIC ICONS - Dynamic icons are described that can employ animations, such as visual effects, audio, and other content that change with time. If multiple animations are scheduled to occur simultaneously, the timing of the animations can be controlled so that timing overlap of the animations is reduced. For example, the starting times of the animations can be staggered so that multiple animations are not initiated too close in time. It has been found that too much motion in the user interface can be distracting and cause confusion amongst users. | 09-15-2011 |

| 20090012953 | Method and system for continuous, dynamic, adaptive searching based on a continuously evolving personal region of interest - Embodiments of the present invention are directed to flexible, user-adapted, continuous searching, on behalf of a particular user, for points of interest relevant to the user's current location within a specifically computed personal region of interest. In a general case, the personal region of interest is computed as a function of the user's level of disposition towards the searched-for points of interest. The level of disposition towards the searched-for points of interest may, in turn, be based on two or more of the user's location, the current date and time, a history of the user's interaction with the POI-searching system, including user-initiated searches and user selections from displayed search results, a user profile developed for, and continuously updated on behalf of, the user, and a current context for the search, as specified by a search query or by other context-specifying means. The personal region of interest generally defines an abstract area, volume, or hypervolume within which method and system embodiments of the present invention search for points of interest. | 01-08-2009 |

| 20100057690 | Automated information-provision system - Various system embodiments of the present invention are directed to an automated concierge system through which users of the automated concierge system can request and obtain many types of information and services. Unlike traditional search engines and electronic query-processing interfaces, the automated concierge systems provide much greater flexibility with respect to means of access, including types of electronic devices and communications media that can be used to access the concierge services, greater flexibility in the timing of responses to information and service requests, more efficient information and service provision, and access to a much broader range of information sources and service providers. The automated concierge systems that represent embodiments of the present invention provide state-associated searches, in contrast to the stateless searches generally provided by search engines and many electronic query-processing interfaces, and employ a generally asynchronous message-based interface, rather than the rigid request/response interfaces provided by traditional search engines and other electronic query-processing systems. | 03-04-2010 |

| 20100192217 | System and method for information sharing between non-secure devices - A method for communicating information packets from a first host system operating in a first security domain and in accordance with a non-secure communications protocol, using a dataguard, to a second host system operating in a second security domain different than the first security domain, and where the second host system is also operating in accordance with the non-secure communications protocol. The method may involve: using a first driver operating with the dataguard to interface the dataguard with the first host system; using a first proxy task group operating with the dataguard to interface the dataguard to the first driver and to communicate with the first driver in accordance with a protocol of the first security domain; using a second driver operating with the dataguard to interface the dataguard to the second host system; and using a second proxy task group operating with the dataguard to interface the dataguard to the second proxy task group and to communicate with the second driver in accordance with a protocol of the second security domain. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20080215508 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HUMAN BEHAVIOR MODELING IN ADAPTIVE TRAINING - A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for simulating human behavior. Source code for predicting human behavior is located on a storage system in a network data processing system. An interpreter executing on hardware in the network data processing system includes a language interpreter and a communications module. The language interpreter executes a simulation with the source code using artificial intelligence to generate a new definition and interpreted source code. A graphical user interface processor receives the interpreted source code from the language interpreter and generates device dependent output. Devices display the device dependent output, receive user input, and send received user input to the graphical user interface processor. The communications module receives user input from the graphical user interface processor and the new definition from the language interpreter and modifies the source code to form modified source code, executed by the language interpreter. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080320042 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING AUDIO COMMUNICATIONS - An apparatus for evaluating audio communications includes: (a) a data storage device configured for identifying associative memory relations among information aspects stored in the data storage device, (b) a query device coupled with the data storage device, the query device being configured for posing queries relating to at least one of the information aspects and the associative memory relations to obtain at least one query result, and (c) a communications parsing unit coupled with at least one of the data storage device and the query device. The communications parsing unit is configured to receive the audio communications and is configured to effect identification of features related with the audio communications. The features related with the audio communications are available for inclusion among the information aspects. The data storage device periodically effects evaluation of the associative memory relations. | 12-25-2008 |
