  • Publication number: 20080159527
    Abstract: Methods and systems for digital rights management are disclosed. Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide a system and method that allows the author of a design file to encrypt the file's contents, so that only authorized users can view the file, and that allows the author to identify specific users for authorization. The author selects the users that are allowed to open the encrypted file. Selected users are called “recipients”. The author then designates the rights granted to the recipients. Preferably, the author identifies users and users are authenticated by means of the user's digital certificates. The author may also have the ability to specify what operations a given user can perform, including view, print/plot, export, copy to clipboard, access history, and edit. An author can also digitally sign a document or file using their digital certificate. A hash value is created for the item to be signed.

  • Publication number: 20080140732
    Abstract: A method for resolving conflicts between versions of a file is provided. User input defining a boundary defining a conflict area are received. Conflicts between versions of a file are detected based on changes made to elements within the conflict area. The conflicts are marked in one of the versions of the file. The one version of the file is saved as the current version, including the conflicts. The other version of the file is saved in a history.

  • Publication number: 20070067726
    Abstract: The subject disclosure pertains to systems and methods for providing an improved user interface for mobile devices. A user interface can obtain content including data and associated tasks from a set of software applications. Consequently, users can access content from multiple applications without navigating away from the user interface. The system architecture is extensible, providing for the addition of applications and user interfaces without requiring modification of the existing applications or user interfaces. Applications can register data suppliers capable of retrieving data from the underlying data store for the application and task executors capable of acting on the data. A user interface can generate a query requesting a class of data and specifying a context used to filter possible results. The system can determine the appropriate data suppliers, distribute queries and return the assembled results to the user interface.

  • Patent number: 7194489
    Abstract: Conventional file-based engineering design data for an engineering model are represented by a plurality of components. The plurality of components are kept in stores, which reside on servers. Each store contains the components that correspond to the elements of one design file. The stores also maintain a history of changes made to the components. A plurality of client computers are bidirectionally connected to the servers. Each client computer may obtain the current version of the components and may send locally edited versions of the components back to the servers to replace the current versions in the stores. At the client computer, the user interacts with the components using conventional file-based software.

  • Publication number: 20050190203
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for enabling application program compatibility with display devices having an increased pixel density. According to one method, a call including one or more parameters is directed toward an application programming interface for performing a screen input or output function is received from an application program. In response to receiving the call, a determination is made as to whether the application program is configured for use with a display device having a lower pixel density or a display device having a higher pixel density. In response to determining that the application program is configured for use with a display device having a lower pixel density, the parameters are scaled for the higher pixel density display device and the application programming interface is called using the scaled parameters.

  • Publication number: 20050151755
    Abstract: Three values for each CAD image element are set: an element priority, a level priority, and a model reference priority. In addition, for the CAD project that contains the CAD image element, a separate priority multiplier value may be set project-wide for elements, levels, and models, creating an element priority multiplier, a level priority multiplier, and a model reference priority multiplier. Once the priority values and priority multiplier values have been set, either by default values or by the user, the values are used to calculate an image depth for each CAD image element. The image depth values are stored, for example in a z-buffer, and can be used to set the display priority for the CAD image elements regardless of the order in which they are placed into the image.

  • Publication number: 20050071847
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for determining which components of a source operating system are required to be included in a target operating system to support selected source operating system features in the target operating system. Data objects are constructed to represent each component and feature of the source operating system, each data object identifying Exports and References for the component or feature it represents. The dependency model identifies, for each component, other components that must be included in a target operating system having the component. A target operating system builder program receives input from a user as to the features the user desires to include in the target operating system. The dependency model is utilized to identify and select the components from the source operating system necessary to support the selected features. The selected components are then linked to create the target operating system.

  • Patent number: 6063128
    Abstract: A computer system for modeling is disclosed, where the computer system has a storage device, first and second platforms, a portable persistent model, and first and second platform-dependent computerized modeling systems (CMS). Each platform is interfaced to the storage device and provides system-dependent services.
