Publication number: 20060018630Abstract: The invention provides systems, apparatus and methods for recording a television broadcast, and a retrospective section of the record. These enable a television viewer to use a television control to select and store a retrospective section of a recorded television channel, while watching the channel. The retrospective section typically comprises a section of the channel that has just been watched by the viewer, so that an immediate replay of the retrospective section corresponds to an “instant” replay. An example method includes the steps of generating a record of the television broadcast, and operating a television remote control to select from the record, while viewing the television broadcast, a retrospective section of the record. The method further may include storing the retrospective section in the television remote control.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2005Publication date: January 26, 2006Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michal Jacovi, Shmuel Ur

Patent number: 6104400Abstract: System for the visualization of a large tree structure in which the selection of a center object (40) amongst the objects of the large tree structure enables n levels of descendants from the center object to be visualized on a screen together with the center object, the system has a visualization control in computer memory enabling the objects of a given level corresponding to the children of a parent object of the immediate higher level to be visualized in a fan-shaped area centered around the parent object. A scrollbar associated with the parent object enables all the children of a parent object to be scrolled in a fan. Fan control buttons on the screen enable the aperture of the fans to be modified so that a variable number of children can be visualized in each fan.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 1998Date of Patent: August 15, 2000Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Avi Halachmi, Michal Jacovi, Menachem Shtalhaim, Sigalit Ur, Yoelle Maarek
