  • Patent number: 8537976
    Abstract: A system and method for handling telephone call interruptions from a common telephone number or common user that provides the user with intelligent options to efficiently manage the interruption. The system is particularly efficient in handling interruptions that involve voicemail messages. The system identifies matches of outgoing calls to and incoming calls from common numbers and/or users and presents various options to the user to handle the call. These options include allowing the user to cancel or delete voicemail messages that are in progress while simultaneously accepting the incoming call.

  • Patent number: 8136037
    Abstract: A text document is parsed and re-ordered according to user-defined rules. The reordered text document is then presented to the user, thus requiring the user to read each section of the text document in a stand-alone manner.

  • Patent number: 7248263
    Abstract: A method and user interface are provided for independently and conveniently scaling y-values of multiple data sets whereby the data sets may be plotted against a common y-axis and provide satisfactory variability. A multiplier is selected by which data points in a data set are multiplied, allowing plots of multiple data sets to be graphed against a common range of y-axis values. The initial multiplier may be calculated and selected automatically by the computer on which the graphing is performed or may be manually selected by a user. If the results of the graphing are not satisfactory to the user, the user may change the multiplier for any data set. A spin button may be provided to enable the user to easily increment or decrement a multiplier in predefined steps, such as by factors of 10. Additionally, a computer-generated indicator may be displayed to assist the user in selecting a different multiplier.
