Patent number: 8798599Abstract: The invention provides proximity based content retrieval. A proximity element is provided for each of a plurality of components associated with a primary device. Identification information of each proximity element for an associated particular proximity space is communicated to a mobile wireless device. Upon the mobile wireless device being located within the associated particular proximity space of a particular proximity element, the mobile device receives associated identification information of the particular proximity element. The mobile device retrieves video content based on the associated identification information.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2013Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gregory R. Hintermeister, Timothy J. O'Keefe

Patent number: 8166414Abstract: An approach is provided to display a common display page on a variety of display devices using the item's tab order property to determine the display order. Controls that are displayed on a display device typically have a tab order. When a window that has controls is displayed, the cursor is typically placed at the control with the lowest (i.e., first) tab order. When the user presses the tab key, the cursor moves to the control corresponding to the next lowest tab order. This allows the designer to design a single window (or panel) that is displayed differently on constrained devices. However, even though the window is displayed differently, using tab order mapping maintains a consistent visible proximity between controls despite the type of display device being used by the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2008Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Brian J. Cragun, Barnaby L. Court, Andrew L. Hanson, Roland A. Merrick, Timothy J. O'Keefe, Elizabeth A. Schreiber, David B. Styles, Brian O. Wood

Patent number: 7315988Abstract: A system and method is provided to map alternative short captions that are displayed in a constrained display environment instead of displaying standard captions. When designing a display panel, the designer identifies shorter captions to use in a constrained environment. Shorter captions are helpful in preventing text from wrapping or having to horizontally scroll to in order to read a longer caption. Varying levels of short captions are provided so that a standard size display displays the full caption, a somewhat smaller size display displays smaller captions, while an even smaller display displays even smaller captions. National language support is also provide to translate both full captions as well as the short version(s) of the captions.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2004Date of Patent: January 1, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Brian J.
