  • Patent number: 6854088
    Abstract: A project management display method and system in which a user logs on to a server from a client computer over a network to display a graphical interface associated with a project. The graphical interface allows the user to view, edit and navigate project data. The graphical interface includes a graphical object that looks similar to a radar screen. The radar screen further includes one or more design objects that provide to the user indicators to those objects that are most important. The indicators change color or position to indicate to the user the urgency associated with a project or task. The graphical interface provides the user the ability to edit project data and have those edits reflected through the graphical interface. The graphical interface also provides the user the ability to navigate through the displayed project and the radar screen view is update accordingly.

  • Patent number: 6735583
    Abstract: A computer-based method and system for classifying and locating media content is provided. In preferred embodiments, a dynamically modifiable, structured vocabulary system is used to drive a media classification and search system. An exemplary embodiment of the media classification and search system includes media content unit classification services, a media content unit search engine, and one or more data repositories, including typically a media content unit collection, metadata, the vocabulary, and a term-to-media content reverse index. The structured vocabulary provides a classification system, whose structure and relationships can be altered independently of the media content being classified, thus enabling tuning of the system without needing to reclassify data. The use of the structured vocabulary also increases the rate of success and efficiency in matching search requests to locate media content.
