Abstract: Computerized methods and interactive input systems for manipulation of 3D objects are disclosed. An image of 3D object is displayed on a 2D interactive surface, and input is received and is interpreted for manipulating the 3D object. When the 3D object is selected, rotation control handles indicating available rotation directions are displayed. In one embodiment, the method comprises capturing images of a 3D input space, recognizing at least one object in the images, and comparing the recognized objects in the images to determine a difference therebetween based on a difference threshold. Depending on the outcome of the comparison, the recognized objects are emerged and associated with digital content, or only one of the recognized objects is maintained and associated with digital content.

Abstract: A multi-monitor computer system includes a plurality of display devices communicating with at least one computing device executing an application management procedure. The application management procedure enables an application window available on one display device to be moved entirely to another display device by selecting the other display device from a dialog box displayed in response to a pointer-dragging input gesture on the application window.

Abstract: A method for providing presence notification for PTT chat group communications includes a server receiving, from a communication device of a member of a chat group, a session initiation message to start a session for the PTT chat group. The session initiation message includes a member-selected priority. The server generates an event notification message that includes an indication that the chat group is active and has been assigned a priority, and sends the event notification message to communication devices of at least some of the other chat group members. Additionally, where a group priority has been assigned to the chat group, the group priority is assigned to the session. Otherwise, the member-selected priority is assigned to the session.

Abstract: A computerized method of recognizing an input hand-drawn table formed by freeform line objects comprises transforming each freeform line object of the table into one of a vertical line segment and a horizontal line segment, generating a grid system based on the vertical and horizontal line segments and converting the generated grid system into a table object.

Abstract: A method of establishing a collaborative event comprises creating an event session having an event identifier and setting up a wireless network to which one or more participant computing devices can connect having a network identifier associated with said event identifier.

Abstract: A method, information processing system, and wireless communication network determine a domain name associated with at least one device for providing services to the at least one device in a network. A service request (604) that includes a unique identifier associated with at least one device (102) is received. A query of a remote information processing system (218) is issued for retrieving a plurality of identifier ranges (610). Each of the identifier ranges is associated with one of a plurality of domain names. An identifier range comprising at least the unique identifier associated with the at least one device (102) is identified in the plurality of identifier ranges (614). A domain name associated with the identified identifier range is determined (616). The domain name that has been determined is associated with the at least one device (102).

Abstract: A method for selecting teams from a group of participants using a participant response system comprises the steps of collecting participant information and selecting teams of participants by comparing the collected participant information with team requirement information using a computer-implemented numerical optimization technique.

Abstract: An interactive input device comprises a panel formed of energy transmissive material and having an input surface, energy dispersing structure associated with the panel, the energy dispersing structure dispersing energy emitted by a pointer that enters the panel via the input surface and at least one imaging assembly, at least some of the dispersed energy being directed towards the at least one imaging assembly.
