Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

706 47

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for efficient management of hierarchically administered spectrum resources in a communications network are disclosed. The method may include receiving a request for a policy decision from a policy enforcement point at a current policy decision point level in a hierarchy of policy decision points, determining whether the request can be satisfied at the current policy decision point level, wherein if the request cannot be satisfied at the current policy decision point level, forwarding the request to a policy decision point at a policy decision point level that is higher in the hierarchy, otherwise retrieving policy information from a policy database, determining a policy decision, wherein if the request was received from the policy enforcement point at the current policy decision point hierarchy level, sending the policy decision to the policy enforcement point at the current policy decision point level in the hierarchy, otherwise, sending the policy decision to a policy decision point level lower in the hierarchy.

International Classification:

G06F 1540
G06F 3033

US Classification:

364200

Abstract:

A data processing system provides a desk view which serves as a graphical user interface to the system. The desk view displays detailed miniaturized images of all documents possessed by the user. The compressed document images are user stackable and are automatically stacked when the images overlap by a predefined amount. The predefined amount is user settable. The desk view also displays icons of operations for mailing, stapling, copying and printing of documents. User activation of these operations occurs upon the removal of a stylus end from a surface after the electronic stylus has positioned a document image and icon relative to each other. Some operations include a screen view enabling user establishment of parametes of the operation after activation. Some icons are displayed with automatic uncovering when a stamp is positioned over it.

International Classification:

G06F 1500
G06F 314

US Classification:

395800

Abstract:

A data processing system provides annotation of a document with annotations inputted through an electronic tablet, a keyboard and an audio assembly. The annotations are entered in a modeless operation of the three input streams. Input by the tablet utilizes a two ended pen. One end of the pen is used for writing annotations to be added to a document and the second end of the pen is used for erasing the added written annotations. Files record the annotations made to the document in a manner which allows a time sequenced playback of the annotations including handwritten, typed and voiced annotations. A state machine of various procedures and controllers which call the procedures is used for processing the annotations as they are made, for replaying the annotations at a subsequent desired time, and for printing the annotations.

International Classification:

G06F 314

US Classification:

345350

Abstract:

A data processing system provides a folder icon for holding representations of sheets of information in user desired order. The folder has a closed position in which a user generated label is viewable. The label is designed through a processor window activated through a tab portion of the closed folder icon. The folder also has an open position for viewing the sheets held in the folder. The folder is changed between its open and closed positions by activation of a main body portion of the closed icon and the tab portion of the open folder icon. The open folder icon provides addition or removal of representations of sheets of information from and to an area outside of the folder in a screen view.

International Classification:

G06F 1500

US Classification:

395800

Abstract:

A data processing system is programmed to display an annotatable bit map image of a text document, a spreadsheet and the like. Annotations are superimposed on a displayed, annotatable image, under control of an annotation program, in response to an input device, such as a mouse, keyboard or stylus (or pen) and electrical writing tablet. An annotatable bit map image and, any annotation superimposed thereon during an annotation session, are reduced in size to a miniature size stamp image in response to a selection input received by the processor from an input device. The stamp image is of a size which is recognizable to a user due to its resemblance to the large size annotatable image of a document and annotations thereto, if any. In turn, an annotatable bit map image, whether annotated or not, is expandable to the larger annotatable image in response to selection inputs supplied to the programmed processor from an input device.
