  • Patent number: 8941680
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for displaying volumetric data using motion-based visualization techniques are provided. An apparatus storing computer executable instructions to be executed by a processor, causing the processor to carryout out a method for displaying data with multiple graphical features visually representing portions of the data and to impart motion to a graphical feature relative to a remainder of the volumetric image to highlight the first graphical feature is provided. A method for displaying a volumetric image in which motion is used to highlight a graphical feature visually representing a portion of the volumetric image relative to the remainder of the image is provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20100118049
    Abstract: A data-display system employs a display in which the representations of data objects are caused to move on the display in order to convey information about the represented data objects. In one example, icons in a link-analysis display that represent data objects satisfying a selection criterion are made to execute distinctive motion. In another example, three-dimensional models of moving bodies in whose features components of respective data objects are encoded are projected onto a screen plane, and the resultant values are used to generate the display.

  • Patent number: 6023697
    Abstract: A voice activated system for retrieving information from relation files in a database incorporating a "help" mechanism that leads the user to relevant information. The apparatus and method provides the user with a message that the spoken queries are understood or not. If understood the system outputs the desired information. If not understood the system asks for key words from the user. The system will respond with phrases using such key words that were built into the system vocabulary. The user may input the phrases into the recognition part of the apparatus or may voice new queries based on the phrase/sentences. The system responds with the desired information.
