G06F 13/00
G06F 3/00

US Classification:

715763, 715762, 715967

Abstract:

The present invention generally is directed to a method of associating a label with a component in a graphical user interface panel. The method comprises: displaying an image of the panel containing an image of the component and an image of the label; receiving a set of user inputs selecting the image of the component, the image of the label, and a predefined user action configured to associate the label with the component; and associating the label with the component in response to the set of user inputs.

International Classification:

G06F 3/00
G06F 17/21

US Classification:

715864, 715809

Abstract:

A system and method is provided to map alternative short captions that are displayed in a constrained display environment instead of displaying standard captions. When designing a display panel, the designer identifies shorter captions to use in a constrained environment. Shorter captions are helpful in preventing text from wrapping or having to horizontally scroll to in order to read a longer caption. Varying levels of short captions are provided so that a standard size display displays the full caption, a somewhat smaller size display displays smaller captions, while an even smaller display displays even smaller captions. National language support is also provide to translate both full captions as well as the short version(s) of the captions.

International Classification:

G06K 15/00

US Classification:

715777, 715864

Abstract:

A system and method is provided to display a common display page on a variety of display devices using the item's tab order property to determine the display order. Controls that are displayed on a display device typically have a tab order. When a window that has controls is displayed, the cursor is typically placed at the control with the lowest (i. e. , first) tab order. When the user presses the tab key, the cursor moves to the control corresponding to the next lowest tab order. This allows the designer to design a single window (or panel) that is displayed differently on constrained devices. However, even though the window is displayed differently, using tab order mapping maintains a consistent visible proximity between controls despite the type of display device being used by the user.

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

H04M 3/42

US Classification:

4554142, 370338

Abstract:

The invention provides proximity based content retrieval. A proximity element is provided for each of a plurality of components associated with a primary device. Identification information of each proximity element for an associated particular proximity space is communicated to a mobile wireless device. Upon the mobile wireless device being located within the associated particular proximity space of a particular proximity element, the mobile device receives associated identification information of the particular proximity element. The mobile device retrieves video content based on the associated identification information.

US Classification:

345/708000

Abstract:

In a web application, a user computer that executes a browser presents a help window on a monitor associated with the user computer, simultaneously with displaying portions of a web page obtained by the browser from a server, to enable a user of the user computer to view the help information without interfering with the user's interaction with the web page. The displayed help information pertains not to the browser itself, but to the web page.

US Classification:

707002000, 707003000, 707100000

Abstract:

A method, system and apparatus for enabling complex table navigation in a highly constrained device. The method can include reducing a complex table defined in markup to a row range view, a set of row views and a set of record views. Individual ones of the record views can be navigably linked to selected ones of the row views, and individual ones of the row views can be further navigably linked to selected row ranges disposed in the row range view. Finally, the row range view can be presented responsive to a request to render the complex table in the highly constrained device.
