  • Publication number: 20030070061
    Abstract: A scalable graphical user interface system may dynamically transform platform specific graphical user interface widgets migrated within an application graphical user interface between any of a plurality of heterogeneous device platforms. The scalable graphical user interface system includes a platform independent presentation model that is mapped to platform specific graphical user interface widgets. The platform independent presentation model includes platform independent graphical user interface widgets. The platform independent graphical user interface widgets may be selectively transformed with transformation rules to generate a platform specific presentation for use by the application graphical user interface on one of the heterogeneous device platforms. Applicable transformation rules may be prioritized for each selected platform independent graphical user interface widget.

  • Publication number: 20030001818
    Abstract: There are provided a device and method for enabling entry of handwritten data, such as a signature, without use of an electronic tablet. In step S2-1, a user affixes a signature by means of moving a pen device 30 in midair. In step S2-2, camera means 20 photographs the pen device 30 and outputs the resultant image data. In step S2-3, coordinate computation means 22 determines coordinates of a pen tip of the pen means 30 on a screen on the basis of the image data (motion picture data), thereby determining signature data. In step S2-4, comparison verification means 40 compares and verifies the thus-determined signature data with reference data. If a similarity exists between the signature data and the reference data, there is output an authentication result showing “authentication of verification.” Thus, personal identification can be effected on the basis of the signature data written by the user in midair.

  • Patent number: 6222583
    Abstract: The device and system for sight labeling according to the present invention comprises an image acquiring section for taking images, a position information acquiring section for recording a camera position while the images are being taken, a camera descriptive information acquiring section for acquiring the camera angle, focal distance and image size while the image are being taken, a map information management section for managing map information, determining a view space inside map information space based on the acquired position, camera angle, focal distance and image size, and capturing constructions present inside the view space, a label information preparation section for preparing label information including the names or descriptive information of constructions and transfer positions, a labeling information output section for overlaying the names or descriptive information from the map information at positions in the images corresponding to position information in the prepared label information, and a c
