Patent number: 7174173Abstract: A system may enable vehicle operators to request information automatically along the route of travel by transmitting information requests, tied to the vehicle's current position, to a server. The server may store a plurality of informational files associated with particular global positioning system coordinates. Upon receipt of a request, the files associated with a particular position may be located and transmitted to the vehicle. The files may be stored as audio files so the user may listen to the files without being distracted while driving the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 1999Date of Patent: February 6, 2007Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Bradford H.

Patent number: 6201859Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling participant input in a conferencing environment supporting at least first and second end points which can operate in at least two different modes. While in the first operating mode, the end points can make changes to the conference data at will. The conference remains in the first operating mode until a request is received from a participant to change the conference to a second operating mode. Once this request is received, the conference switches to the second operating mode. While in the second operating mode, only one of the first and second end points can make changes at any particular time.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 1997Date of Patent: March 13, 2001Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jennifer Memhard, Daniel R. Porter, Anthony C. Salvador, Rune A. Skarbo

Patent number: 6137470Abstract: The Task Manager Window is a computer software component used in real-time telecommunications network monitoring and maintenance. The Task Manager Window organizes and presents to a network operator, a user of a decision support system, task packages corresponding to events of possible concern in a telecommunications network. These task packages organize, contain and allow access to all information relevant to resolution of a particular network problem.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1993Date of Patent: October 24, 2000Assignee: GTE Laboratories IncorporatedInventors: Gunilla A. Sundstrom, Anthony C. Salvador, Thomas F. Mertzig

Patent number: 5826051Abstract: A method and apparatus for simplifying active window selection and shared command execution in a computer system generates a menu corresponding to a first application of a plurality of applications which can be executed concurrently in the computer system. The menu identifies a subset of the plurality of applications whose corresponding windows can be made currently active. Additionally, one or more of the subset of applications is installed but is not executing at the computer system. A selection identifying one of the subset of applications is then received, and a window corresponding to the identified one of the subset of applications is made the currently active window. In one embodiment, the menu also includes a set of shared commands which can be executed in the computer system. These shared commands perform the same function for each application of the subset of applications. In this embodiment, upon selection of one of the shared commands from the menu, the selected command is executed.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1995Date of Patent: October 20, 1998Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Daniel R.

Patent number: 5740161Abstract: A method and apparatus for synchronizing viewed information between a first endpoint and a second endpoint of a conferencing environment so that the first and second endpoints display the same location of the viewed information includes one of the endpoints receiving a request to synchronize the viewed information. An identifier of the location to which the document is to be synchronized is also received. The viewed information at the endpoint is then updated to display the identified location. In one embodiment, the first endpoint receives the request to synchronize the viewed information and sends a view synchronization message to the second endpoint. The view synchronization message includes a page identifier corresponding to the identified location and a center point which identifies a location within the page corresponding to the page identifier. Upon receipt of the view synchronization message, the viewed information at the second endpoint is updated to display the identified location.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1995Date of Patent: April 14, 1998Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Daniel R.
