Publication number: 20130283149Abstract: Disclosed are method and apparatus for displaying supplementary information on a graphical user interface. A request for supplementary information is received. The supplementary information is retrieved and displayed in a reserved display field in a graphical user interface. The reserved display field may be configured by a user to adapt to specific applications, but remains stationary throughout the user session. The reserved display field does not obstruct any other display fields in the graphical user interface. A request for supplementary information may be generated by using a mouse to first position a cursor over an active display element. A request for supplementary information associated with the active display element may be generated by clicking the mouse, or by holding the cursor stationary for a time interval greater than a threshold dwell time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2013Publication date: October 24, 2013Inventors: James Patrick Stapleton, James Anthony Gewecke, Justin Nicholas Marcucci, Lee Culver, David Jason Krantz
