Patent number: 9323752Abstract: A method and system for displaying slides associated with display categories. Display categories are simultaneously displayed, each display category including display sets, each display set including a set of slides. A first row of buttons is displayed for a selected display category. Each button in the first row of buttons corresponds to a different display set in the selected display category such that each display set is represented by a different button in the first row of buttons. A second row of buttons is displayed simultaneous with the displayed first row of buttons. Each button in the second row of buttons corresponds to a different slide in the display set selected via selection of the first button in the first row of buttons. The slide corresponding to the selected second button is displayed simultaneous with the displayed first row of buttons and the displayed second row of buttons.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2012Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Carl O.

Patent number: 9031618Abstract: A method for displaying at least one image from a set of images while a computerized device such as a Smartphone is charging. The method, which will often be a software implemented method such as a downloadable Smartphone “app” will generally comprise using the Smartphone's graphical user interface to select a set of images to display while said Smartphone is charging, and also using the Smartphone's graphical user interface to determine a set of parameters to use to control the display of these images while the Smartphone is charging. The invention's software will additionally determine the charging status of the Smartphone. In operation, while the Smartphone is charging, the software will then display these images, often according to the previously entered set of parameters used to control the display of these images.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2014Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Inventor: Steven Earl Kader

Patent number: 8875250Abstract: A method and associated system for authenticating an end user. A selected subset of root nodes of a set of root nodes in a server mask is received, the selected subset of root nodes having been selected by the end user. In response to the receiving of the selected subset of root nodes, the end user is authenticated by determining that the spatial location in the server mask of each root node of the selected subset of root nodes matches a spatial position of a corresponding root node of a server set of transparent root nodes in the server mask, wherein the server set of transparent root nodes are a result of a first random selection of root nodes from the set of root nodes in the server mask.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2012Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Frederic Bauchot, Flemming Boegelund, Steven Earl Hicks, Gerard Marmigere

Patent number: 8774784Abstract: A method of using color displays to visually identify another communicating individual to a Smartphone user. The method may be implemented as downloadable App software and run on the Smartphone's microprocessor. Here, various communications means, such as the communicating individual's telephone numbers, email addresses, SMS addresses, or social network identities are assigned to that individual's contact group, and this in turn is linked to a color or combination of colors. When the communicating individual contacts the Smartphone or makes an appropriate social network posting, the App software and processor detect this event, generates the appropriate color display, which can then be seen by the Smartphone user.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2013Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Inventor: Steven Earl Kader

Patent number: 8683313Abstract: A method, medium and implementing processing system are provided for book marking a combination of frame URLs within a frameset and allowing the sharing on multiple PCs the saved form data that may have been filled in. The system uses an image as a hotspot, containing a complex target destination in the form of an XML structure with multiple URLs for multiple frames as well as captured form data. This system combines file types such as XML and JPG, e.g. as in sample file name ‘MyCapturedFramesAndFormData.XML.JPG’ or ‘MyCapturedFramesAndFormData.XML.GIF’. This combination provides a surprising effect compared to the prior systems, namely, launching the image in an enhanced web browser or in a web browser containing a new plug-in, displays the frame just as it was when saved, including frame set and data input to displayed forms.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2012Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Flemming Boegelund, Steven Earl Hicks
