Patent number: 7477892Abstract: An invention is provided for advanced service interaction for a mobile device. The system includes a user information system that stores user profile information based on a particular user, and a service information system that stores service description data describing a plurality of services available to the user. Also included in a ranker filter module that predicts a set of services from the plurality of services that the user is expected to utilize within a predefined period of time. The prediction is based on the user profile information stored in the user information system, such as user specific usage patterns (e.g. derived from past usage patterns). The system further includes a renderer that generates a display of the set of services on the mobile device using a ranking system. For example, the renderer can display services of the set of services in primary, secondary, and tertiary positions on the mobile device display.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2004Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Daniel R. Coward, Annette M. Wagner, Aaron Cooley, Tom Seago

Patent number: 7386279Abstract: An invention is provided for a context based mobile device display. The context based mobile device display includes a primary service icon representing a service most likely to be utilized by a user within a predefined period of time based on user profile information. The primary service icon is displayed in a primary position on the mobile device display. Also included is a plurality of secondary service icons representing services likely to be utilized by a user within a predefined period of time, however not as likely as the primary service, based on user profile information. The secondary service icons are smaller than the service icon representing the service in the primary position. A plurality of tertiary service icons representing remaining services available to the user are further included in the context based mobile device display. The tertiary service icons are displayed in a tertiary position of the mobile device display.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2004Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Annette M.

Patent number: 5666552Abstract: A means and method for directly manipulating text on a computer display screen. A selected block of text is first identified for manipulation. After being identified, the selected block of text is highlighted on the display screen using contrasting colors or a reverse video. A text manipulation handle associated with the selected text block is displayed. The user may then directly manipulate the selected text block by positioning a cursor within the text manipulation handle and activating a signal generation device. When this occurs, the selected text block may be moved around the display screen while remaining visible using the cursor control device as long as the signal generation device remains active. A shadow image and insertion marker associated with the selected text block is displayed while the selected text block is moveable. A cutting or copying operation may be selected when the signal generation device is activated.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1995Date of Patent: September 9, 1997Assignee: Apple Computer, Inc.Inventors: Ann M. Greyson, Jeffrey D. Hokit, Marjory Kaptanoglu, Annette M. Wagner, Stephen P. Capps
