  • Patent number: 6101472
    Abstract: A voice command interface in a data processing system and method are implemented to allow a user to speak a name of a link identified by Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) format to receive a desired web page from a communication network, such as the Internet. During operation of the data processing system and method for implementing the voice command interface, a client computer accesses a current web page using a server. When a new web page is accessed, a central processing unit in the data processing system provides control signals to a speech recognition unit to clear a vocabulary list currently stored within the speech recognition unit. Subsequently, the central processing unit commences to parse the HTML source code corresponding to the accessed web page. The central processing unit then determines whether the accessed web page has any links therein.

  • Patent number: 5708811
    Abstract: Lazy loading of executable library objects reduces operating system overhead and memory commitment requirements by postponing object loading until object references are expected. Initial task loading allocates only the main executable and library objects referenced by that executable. Secondary referenced objects are not allocated. Object references cause page faults for allocated but not loaded pages. Page fault handling causes loading and fixup of executable objects. Page fault handling also determines the next level of object references and allocates memory for the next object level. Shared memory systems allow sharing of executable objects until explicitly referenced. Once referenced, memory fault causes copying and fixup to referencing task memory area.
