Abstract: A method and apparatus conveying a generic digital information content to a user with a minimum amount of user interaction. The method includes associating a digital information content with a modeling system and displaying an association of the digital information content and the modeling system on a visual information display interface.

Abstract: A system and method for zooming an object through a spiral movement of a pointer. The method provides three-dimensional interaction with an object in response to a two-dimensional pointer input. The method includes monitoring pointer movements to determine whether a movement indicates a spiral movement. When a spiral movement is determined an object is zoomed. A clockwise spiral movement may zoom an object inwardly and a counterclockwise movement may zoom an object outwardly. A non-spiral movement may pan the object.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically populating appointment fields of an appointment template. A messaging client provides a message having message data associated with one or more fields. A field populator automatically transfers the message data associated with the one or more fields to an appropriate field of an appointment response. Time and place data is automatically transferred from a scheduler to an appropriate field of an appointment response.

Abstract: A system and method for eyes-free interaction with a computing device through environmental awareness. A smart computing device includes non-environmental impact settings that indicate what type of user impact will be recognized as an input. The smart computing device monitors environmental conditions to distinguish a user impact from an environmental impact. Upon detecting a user impact, a command is generated to perform a function on an application.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a dynamic prioritized contact list for a communication device. The dynamic prioritized contact list may vary over the course of the day to provide an optimized contact list for a time interval. A prioritized contact list generator determines a current time interval. The prioritized contact list generator monitors communications from one or more past time intervals to determine contact priority for the current time interval. A prioritized contact list is generated for the current time interval based on the contact priority. The prioritized contact list generator automatically updates the dynamic prioritized contact list with priority changes when the current time interval expires.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed which convey a generic digital information content to a user with a minimum amount of user interaction. The method includes associating a digital information content with a modeling system and displaying an association of the digital information content and the modeling system on a visual information display interface.
