International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707705, 719328, 707E17065, 707E17067, 715848

Abstract:

The invention relates to a framework system and methods for connecting a plurality of tools. The system comprises a plug-in mechanism configured to dynamically load the plurality of tools, a data pool having storage space configured to store data sets associated with the plurality of tools, a linking mechanism configured to establish communications links between the loaded plurality of tools to enable coordinated operation of the loaded plurality of tools, a session component configured to record the process history of the operations of the loaded plurality of tool and the system states corresponding to the process history of the operations and an annotation module configured to associate user-provided data corresponding to one or more of the stored data sets.

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

707724, 715769

Abstract:

An interactive visual interface for organizing, locating, searching, and monitoring collections of digital information, designed to harness human spatial memory for organizing and retrieving digital information. In one example, an information map organizes digital information within a two-dimensional space with rapid visual feedback and information access. The organization may be algorithmically computed and user-modified. An interface that supports persistent state information whereby search nodes and document references are spatially fixed so that users may harness their spatial memory to organize and find information quickly.

US Classification:

715702, 715727

Abstract:

The invention relates to a virtual musical interface for composing, editing, and/or performing audio works. In certain embodiments, the invention relates to a virtual musical interface rendered as a virtual object in a haptic environment, where one or more parameters of the virtual object are associated with one or more audio attributes. Thus, methods and systems of the invention provide audio, visual, and/or haptic feedback in response to a user interaction.
