  • System and method for mapping user-input controls to corresponding regions of a user display
    Publication number: 20070229462
    Abstract: A mobile phone. The mobile phone includes a display, a keypad including a plurality of keys, and a controller configured to receive input commands from the keypad and to deliver video information to the display. The mobile phone also includes a memory holding game instructions that, when executed by the controller, map a subset of the keypad to the display such that the display is functionally divided into a plurality of segments, one for each mapped key, and where each mapped key controls game action at the display segment to which that key is mapped.

  • Method for flagging differences in resource attributes across multiple database and transaction systems
    Patent number: 7007023
    Abstract: A system and associated method for flagging differences in resource attributes across multiple database and transaction systems, to substantially improve database maintenance operations performed by database administrators. The system and method perform search for object attributes that define a resource across a large number of database systems, and return the information to a database administrator, with the information in an exception state flagged. The system and method offer significant advantages for database administration in the ability to simplify the views of multiple systems into a single system image, and the ability to provide a significant degree of flexibility in displaying database information, thus making it relatively easy to identify resources that do not necessarily conform to the single system definition.
