  • Publication number: 20070245306
    Abstract: A system provides a single-click expandable data control implemented in a user interface development language as a data entry and viewing element including options enabling or restricting data entry and specifying a related dialog for entry or selection of data for a primary display field. A system provides a single-click expandable data element in HTML, for example, as a data entry and viewing element that is used within a user interface interactive page to allow a single line-height data display using a single mouse click to expand or collapse data, thereby providing a simple means for a user to view or enter larger amounts of data than typically fit within the limited screen space. A user interface system adaptively presents information to a user. The system includes a display processor for initiating generation of data representing an image.

  • Patent number: 7079140
    Abstract: A diagnostic device has a modality for generating raw data representing contents of a volume, a computer for calculating three-dimensional medical images from the raw data, an image system, an input device for setting a transfer function required for an algorithm and a display device for the medical images. The image system determines a histogram distribution of the gray-scale values, and the image system inserts user interface graphics into the displayed image which shows the histogram distribution of the gray-scale values in a histogram window and symbolically represents a trapezoidal transfer function on which values characterizing input fields for transfer functions are arranged at the associated points. A transfer function is on the basis of entries in the input fields and the selected transfer function is inserted in the histogram distribution of the gray-scale values.

  • Publication number: 20060136830
    Abstract: A user interface system provides an electronic form supporting simplified navigation using table driven values and decisions. A display processor provides a display image enabling a user to perform a hierarchically ordered selection of a first parameter and a second parameter from a set of parameters associated with the selected first parameter. A repository contains data, representing multiple data fields, for display in a form, and associates particular data fields with a particular form and a particular ordered selection of parameters. A form processor generates data, representing a particular form including particular data fields derived from the repository, and initiates generation of data representing a display image including the particular form, in response to user selection of the first and second parameters.

  • Publication number: 20060085759
    Abstract: A user interface system for presenting information to a user involves a display processor for initiating generation of data representing an image. The image includes multiple adjacent rows of visible user selectable tabs individually incorporating a tab function identifier identifying a function associated with a respective tab. An individual tab is selectable by a user to initiate presentation of an image area in an image window and presents information concerning a function identified by a tab function identifier of a selected tab. An individual row of visible user selectable tabs includes multiple user selectable tabs together with a non-user selectable label. The non-user selectable label includes information associated with the multiple user selectable tabs on the individual row.

  • Publication number: 20050108050
    Abstract: A healthcare delivery information management system, for managing provision of health care to a patient, includes an interface processor and a display processor. The interface processor receives information identifying a particular patient. The display processor initiates generation of data representing a composite display image including a first area, a second area, and a third area. The first area includes a first set of data items representing different types of healthcare information, and a second set of data items individually associated with corresponding items of the first set of data items. The display processor initiates generation of data representing a particular type of healthcare information for the particular patient in the second area in response to user selection of an individual item of the first set of data items.
