Patent number: 9411482Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for visualizing user interfaces. In one aspect, a method includes presenting a user interface visualization for an application. The application is configured to perform functions and present a graphical user interface including user interface elements to access the functions. Presenting the user interface visualization for the application includes selecting a group of related functions and presenting a graphical representation for each related function. The graphical representations for the related functions are presented in proximity to each other, and the graphical representations are presented differently than the user interface elements for the related functions are presented by the graphical user interface of the application.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2011Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: Autodesk, Inc.Inventors: Tovi Grossman, George William Fitzmaurice, Michael Rooke

Patent number: 7142842Abstract: A method, system, and device for providing access to network-based services by analyzing a symbol associated with a network service. A representation of a symbol associated with a network service is captured. For example, a graphic symbol associated with a network-connected business may be captured using a mobile telephone equipped with a camera. The symbol may depict a business logo or any other symbol associated with the network service. The representation of the symbol is analyzed by comparing the symbol to a library of ideal symbols. Each ideal symbol is associated with a network address of the network service. If the representation of the symbol matches an ideal symbol, the network address associated with the ideal symbol is used to access the network-based service.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2002Date of Patent: November 28, 2006Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Michael Rooke, Teppo Savinen

Publication number: 20050242480Abstract: A bush assembly is seated in a housing, having an outer sleeve (10), an inner tube (12) and a resilient body (14) connecting the inner tube (12) and the outer sleeve (10). The outer sleeve (10) has projections (20) from its outer surface that abut the inner surface of the housing (40) and cause local deformations on the sleeve around the projections (20). The local deformations around the projections (20) cause the radial gap (16) between the inner tube (12) and the outer sleeve (10) to change circumferentially and thus bush has different radial stiffness in different directions.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2005Publication date: November 3, 2005Applicant: Avon Vibration Management Systems LimitedInventors: Ian Nicholson, Michael Rooke

Patent number: 6956832Abstract: A method and a wireless telecommunications system, a message service center and a mobile station implementing the method for transmitting messages between a mobile station and a second party. The method of the invention includes delivering messages irrespective of the presentation thereof: delivering messages through the same message service center irrespective of the content type and employing the same protocol between the terminal and the message service center for all messages. The content type indicates the presentation of the message contents which may include test, speech, images, video images or various combinations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 1999Date of Patent: October 18, 2005Assignee: Nokia Networks OyInventors: Ahti Muhonen, Michael Rooke, Serge Haumont, Lassi Hippeläinen, Kari Kurronen, Mikko Puuskari, Mikko Heino

Publication number: 20050181766Abstract: Method and device for delivering messages to mobile terminal devices in case of an unsuccessful message delivery attempt to said mobile terminal device from a Store-and-Forward Entity of a mobile communication network. The method comprises the reception of a notification about an unsuccessful delivery attempt of a message, followed by a subscription to a presence service for future notifications of the status of a terminal device. The method and a device is provided for executing a communication attempt following an unsuccessful delivery attempt of a message to a mobile terminal device in a communication network when presence of the terminal device is determined. This invention allows the conventionally necessary multiple delivery attempts to be reduced to just one. The Store-and-Forward Entity does this by subscribing to the presence service in case a failed mobile terminated delivery attempt so that multiple delivery attempts are not performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2003Publication date: August 18, 2005Inventors: Michael Rooke, Teppo Savinen, Tapio Holopainen

Patent number: 6834216Abstract: A hardware system is provided for performing angle-to-time and time-to-angle conversions in a dynamic angular measurement and control system. The system has the capability of updating scheduled event times of other hardware timers in the system that are being used to generate output events at some specific angular position in the future. One application of the system is in automotive powertrain control systems in which the position of the engine is determined from a pulsed signal generated by a rotating crankshaft that accelerates and decelerates over time. The system performs critical calculations in hardware which consumes less CPU bandwidth than existing systems, resulting in potential cost savings for the overall system.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2001Date of Patent: December 21, 2004Assignee: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: John P.

Publication number: 20040199649Abstract: A system and method is provided that allows alternative messaging routes when Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message delivery fails. Automatic retry mechanisms are put into place to automatically retry transmission of a failed SIP message. In one embodiment, a mobile terminal having received a failed SIP delivery message, automatically instantiates a Short Message Service (SMS) message delivery. In another embodiment, a Short Message Service Center (SMSC)/SIP proxy instantiates message retry mechanisms based on a previously configured schedule. A legacy SMS device may also initiate an SMS message to the SMSC/SIP proxy, whereby the SMSC/SIP proxy initiates either SMS or SIP retry mechanisms.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2003Publication date: October 7, 2004Inventors: Teemu Tarnanen, Michael Rooke
