Abstract: Entering information into a software application resident on a mobile communication facility comprises recording speech presented by a user using a mobile communication facility resident capture facility, transmitting the recording through a wireless communication facility to a speech recognition facility, transmitting information relating to the software application to the speech recognition facility, generating results utilizing the speech recognition facility using an unstructured language model based at least in part on the information relating to the software application and the recording, tagging the results with information about the words in the results, transmitting the results and tags to the mobile communications facility, and loading the results and tags into the software application.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for displaying a graphical representation on a display screen of a data processing system in a manner that optimizes screen "real estate" and ease of information viewing. The graphical representation may be a tree hierarchy including a plurality of expandable and collapsible nodes. The method begins as the hierarchy is displayed within a primary display window on the display screen when the user selects a node to be expanded . In response, a first display region is output within the primary display window and includes a set of one or more subnodes associated with the selected node. If a first subnode in the first display region is then selected for expansion, a second display region is then output within the first display region, and the second display region in turn includes a set of one or more subnodes of the first subnode. This generation of new "nested" display regions then continues as the user continues to explore deeper into the tree hierarchy.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for detecting the presence of a semi-compliant PCI device in a secondary expansion slot of a PC and instructing the user to reinsert the device into one of the primary slots are disclosed. In one embodiment, upon detection of a semi-compliant PCI device in a secondary slot, a video image instructing the user to reinsert the device into one of the primary slots is displayed on a display of the PC. Operation remains suspended until the device is relocated to a primary slot. In a presently preferred embodiment, a hardware enhancement to a PCI-to-PCI bridge connecting a primary PCI bus to a secondary BCI bus enables the device to operate flawlessly on the secondary PCI bus, such that the user remains unaware of the otherwise undesirable situation.
