Abstract: A utility is provided for generating applications for a variety of data conversion or handling application environments. A user can use a graphical user interface to purpose application adaptable modules to define a desired application. In one implementation, the user interface (1500) includes a node tree panel (1502) and a process assembly panel (1504). The node tree panel (1502) lists tool sets (1508) including transformations, maps and input-output tools. These tools can then be assembled together with identified data sources and then elements using the assembly panel (1504) to define an application. In this manner, an application is generated from a number of generic modules simply by linking the modules to perform a purpose of the desired application. In this manner, an application is generated from a number of generic modules simply by linking the modules to perform a purpose of the desired application.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a plurality of displays; a plurality of display instruction units; and an assignment unit that assigns a target selected on at least any one of the displays to one of the display instruction units so as to configure the display instruction unit that the target is to be displayed on one of the displays in accordance with a command input by the assigned one of the display instruction units.

Abstract: A tool and graphical user interface (GUI) may be provided for a customer relationship management (CRM) system that enables a user to create, maintain, display and use individual object (iObject) data that relates to a unique asset in a family of assets. A tool or GUI for maintaining information that relates to individual objects may be referred to herein as an “individual object workbench” (workbench). In general, a workbench may include a selection area for selecting an individual object to be defined, and a definition area in which a user may define information to be associated with the selected individual object. Each individual object may be associated with a unique identifier (e.g., a particular car is associated with a vehicle identification number) as a consistent identifier of an individual asset throughout that asset's lifecycle, which may span multiple owners, for example.

Abstract: A display method for displaying a workflow system composed of a plurality of discrete Boxes each associated with a document process and linked in a predetermined order. The workflow is defined for causing the processes to be sequentially executed. The workflow is displayed using icons representing the Boxes. If execution of the associated process has been completed, an icon representing a corresponding Box is overlaid with oblique lines. If execution of the associated process is currently in process, an icon representing a corresponding Box is overlaid with a graphical representation of a sand timer.

Abstract: A display control unit that is used to display a current portion of a document on a screen when an interactive or scrollable page of said document requires a larger display area than that of the screen. The display control unit includes a unit which is connected to a remote server configured to deliver interactive documents including principal and secondary documents. The display control unit also includes a display unit used to control the display of a current portion of the scrollable interactive page on the screen, and a memory control unit including a priority level allocation unit configured to assign a priority level to each secondary document of the scrollable interactive page and a memory control unit used to control the storage of secondary documents with the highest priority levels in the memory.

Abstract: Apparatus for displaying information from at least one information source, the information being arranged, labeled or indexed to define a hierarchical information structure, the apparatus comprising: a display controller for displaying information and user selectable menu items on at least one display, each menu item corresponding to a node of the information hierarchy or to information in the at least one information source. The display controller is configured such that during said navigation, in response to a user selection of a menu item from either one of the first or second display areas, a sub-set of menu items corresponding to sub-nodes and/or information in the information hierarchy at the level of the hierarchy below said selected menu item is displayed in the other of the second or first display areas.

Abstract: A visual display interface is provided that comprises an associated display icon. The display icon is dragged across the visual display interface in a movement so as to cause the mixing of a plurality of media streams. The output is a new mix of the various media streams.

Abstract: A display method wherein a labeled scatter chart is displayed on a graphical user interface, the scatter chart having a plurality of labels. A first modification of one of the labels is entered via a graphical user interface by a user. Execution of labeling instructions that implement a labeling algorithm for generating a first modified labeled scatter chart in response to the entry of the first modification is started. The first modified labeled scatter chart is displayed.

Abstract: A technology enabling a developer to configure a graphical user interface (GUI) such that only a subset of the inputs contained in the GUI will be processed, depending on the user's interaction with the GUI. The configuration identifies one or more logical units known as virtual forms, with each virtual form identifying zero or more input components from the GUI that are said to participate in the virtual form, and one or more submission components from the GUI that are said to submit the virtual form, such that when a user interacts in some particular way with (e.g., clicks) a component that submits a virtual form, only the inputs that participate in that virtual form are processed while other inputs in the GUI are not processed.

The rows from a row source corresponding to the scrollable cursor result set are suspended into storage so that when a fetch is requested the data can be sent (continued) from the suspended storage and does not depend on the original scrollable cursor row source or session to be available.

Abstract: Icons are arranged in foreground background positions in an interface environment to define a multidimensional path extending from a terminus. The icons transition between the foreground position and the background positions along the multidimensional path.

Abstract: Methods and systems for scaling down a Web page image enables the image to be displayed on a standard television without horizontal scrolling of the image. A Web page image that initially has a horizontal dimension larger than the horizontal dimension of a television display is received from a web server and subsequently scaled down by a scaling factor that is based only upon the amount of scaling that is necessary to fit the image within the horizontal dimension of the television display. This scaling factor is used to scale the image horizontally and vertically, thus preserving the aspect ratio of the image. When a hyperlink from the scaled down Web page image is selected, coordinates to the hyperlink are scaled up based on the same scaling factor so that they will correspond with the server-side image map of the Web page image.
