  • Publication number: 20160337823
    Abstract: A method and system for individuals to quickly and easily share behaviors, actions, photographs, videos, other data, and/or posts on, but not limited to, a social network without needing to be logged into, or even having an account on, the social network/website. The system uses, but is not limited to, existing texting technology as an easy way for the individual to send keywords and/or additional information. The texting system has the ability to bi-directionally collect and send data from/to the texting device (e.g., cell phone) and has a bi-directional communication scheme to transfer the data from the texting system to the appropriate social network/website. The texting device provides a unique ID such as, but not limited to, the phone number, which can optionally be linked to an account. The social network then processes the information, optionally stores the information, and/or responds.

  • Patent number: 5596691
    Abstract: A system for changing the display characteristics of a drawing has one model style, a top graphics table memory for storing a top graphics table, a chart table memory for storing a chart table, a default box graphics table memory for storing a default box graphics table, and a level table memory for storing level tables, display routines for displaying the drawing on a display device, and model routines for changing the model style of a drawing. The model routines, when changing the model style, retrieve a model style from a model style library. The model routines re-configure the chart table, the default box graphics table, and the level tables according to the retrieved model style. The system includes a set of filters that control the application of a model style. As the model routines re-configure the chart table, the default box graphics table, and the level tables, the model routines analyze the filters.

  • Patent number: 5555357
    Abstract: A central processing unit (CPU) is coupled to a display device, an input device, a data storage device and a memory with charting and diagramming tools, element records, connector records, and display routines. The memory is used by the CPU to present a user interface on the display and for generating chart elements in response to inputs from the user. The CPU displays a user interface that allows automatic generation and connection of new drawing elements. Methods are disclosed for creating drawing elements of a flowchart, creating drawing elements of a flowchart at a selected position, creating drawing elements of an organizational chart, and displaying a portion of the display in a visually distinct manner.

  • Patent number: 5299307
    Abstract: A computer system provides a method and an apparatus for generating and manipulating graphic objects on a computer display screen. The computer aided design and drawing system includes a graphic guide used for associating edges and points of one graphic image with one or more other images. The graphic guide operates in relation to the position of a cursor on the computer display screen. After a first image has been drawn on the screen, the graphic guide automatically is initiated to assist the user in positioning and sizing a second and subsequent images that are drawn on the display screen. The computer system also includes a wall tool used for efficiently generating wall objects displayed on the display screen. Wall objects are generated and manipulated by specifying the width of the wall, displaying joints between walls, capping the ends of walls, and efficiently measuring the interior, exterior or center dimension of a wall.
