  • Publication number: 20070186187
    Abstract: An electronic progress scoring mechanism or indicator visually informs the user of how much of a task is complete and what is the nature or direction of the progress of task completion (positive or negative). A goal scoring software provides a scale and indicator based display for a task whose progress is to be monitored. The indicator can slide over the scale to indicate the most recent status of the task. A bi-directional reference pointer is displayed adjacent to the scale to provide a visual cue as to whether the most recent status indicates an upward (e.g. “better”) or downward (e.g. “worse”) progress from the immediately preceding status. An overlayed display window may also be provided adjacent to the sliding indicator to textually display the two most recent scores of progress and the relationship between them (i.e., whether there is a positive or negative movement from an earlier score to the most recent score).

  • Publication number: 20060248468
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for displaying information in a visual scheme in which the visual scheme is assigned to a control button contained within a graphical user interface and assigned to a set of information associated with said control button, and in which the set of information is displayed within the assigned visual scheme when the control button is selected and the set of information is hidden when the control button is deselected. The method and apparatus are direct to a multi-level scheme that allows a user to quickly visually parse data in a complex document as well as individually view or turn off specific parts of the data hierarchy giving the advantage of efficient document consumption and flexible viewing. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used in construing the claims.
