  • Patent number: 7913184
    Abstract: The invention relates to systems and methods for selectively auto-tabbing between input fields of an interface based on received input. More specifically, the intelligent auto-tabbing systems and methods accommodate different user preferences related to providing input by selectively auto-tabbing between fields based on user preferences. One example of a method according to one embodiment involves receiving an input character and entering the input character into a first field. The entry of that input character into the first field causes a number of characters in the first field to reach a predetermined threshold. A subsequent input character is received subsequent to that input character being entered into the first field. An input focus is positioned in a second field based on the subsequent input character.

  • Patent number: 5007651
    Abstract: A game kit is provided with movable playing pieces, movable barriers, and a game board having a circumferential track. The track includes pluralities of sequential spaces to receive the movable pieces, as a player moves them around said track, and barrier spaces running across the width of the tracks to receive the movable barriers. The barrier spaces on the tracks are between pairs of the sequential spaces. The board also has two diametrical tracks, transverse to one another, interconnecting opposite sides of the circumferential track. The movable barriers are designed to interfit with one another such that the barriers may be stacked or interfitted end to end, to provide either extra height or extra length. As a result, one or more of the movable barriers can be positioned in the barrier spaces to provide variable height and length deterrents to moving the movable playing pieces in the circumferential track while playing the game.
