As time passes, and data objects are changed, added or removed from the time strip, the time strip is automatically and dynamically updated to reflect these changes along with showing the passage of time. The period of time represented by the dynamic time strip is preferably one day, with the dynamic time strip automatically scrolling forward as time passes. However, in one embodiment, the period of time represented by the dynamic time strip is user configurable.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2009Publication date: November 12, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventor: David Stanning Cortright

Publication number: 20090276206Abstract: Localizing software applications into target languages such as French, Chinese, etc. is time consuming, expensive and error prone. End users often need to install and operate multiple copies of the same software applications localized into different languages if they need to work in multiple languages. By providing a localization engine with access to information about resources used in a user interface and translations of those resources, on the fly localization of software applications is possible. Context information is stored in the localization database and used to identify appropriate translations of the resources. Run-time context information is obtained from the user interface and/or software application and optionally a context information store. In some examples, target language resource results are presented in tooltip like displays.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2007Publication date: November 5, 2009Inventors: Colin Fitzpatrick, Andre McQuaid, John Lane, Mohamed Abbar, Terry Farrell

Patent number: 7614007Abstract: A method and device for executing multiple operations on different files displayed on a graphical user interface. A pre-defined combination of keys is assigned a particular operation, such as “Delete,” “Copy,” “Move,” etc. As a first combination of keys is engaged, one or more files are selected, using a pointing device such as a mouse. The selected files are color-coded, indicating a first operation to be performed on the selected files. A second combination of keys is then engaged, and a second operation is assigned to other selected files. When satisfied that the selected operations are correct for all of the selected files, a user then executes the operations by depressing the “Enter” or similar key. By viewing different operations for different files before the operations are executed, a user is given an overview of all operations to be applied to all selected files, thus improving file management.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2004Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Vijaylaxmi Chakravarty, Oltea Mihaela Herescu, Claudia Andrea Salzberg, Robert Lee Snider

Publication number: 20090271704Abstract: A window of a computer application on a display device is controlled through associating a pop-up window with the screen window of the computer application, wherein the computer application provides more than one screen window and a pop-up window is associated with each screen window of the computer application, and at least one mouse-sensitive area is defined for each screen window of the computer application, such that a mouse click on a mouse-sensitive area causes the appropriate pop-up window to be displayed on the display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2009Publication date: October 29, 2009Applicant: Burlington English Ltd.Inventor: Mark B.

Publication number: 20090271381Abstract: Embodiments are described for capturing, displaying, and navigating text annotations in a non-modifiable document. In some embodiments, a determination is made that a text annotation is to be created and a system determines the file position of the selected object. The file position of the selected object can be stored along with the created text annotation in another file or a non-read only portion of a file storing the document. Using the file position, the text annotation may be identified with the selected object without modifying the non-modifiable document. In some embodiments, once a text annotation is displayed a user may easily navigate among the captured annotations.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2009Publication date: October 29, 2009Inventors: John L. Beezer, Marco A. Demello, David M. Silver

Publication number: 20090259969Abstract: Mobile devices are described, along with related services, systems, and methods. These devices include displays with pixel dimensions and pixel densities in ranges that are chosen to allow users to enjoy a more intuitive and more “desktop-like” Web or multi-media experience compared to other devices, while still enabling the devices to be pocketsize. Also described are devices with touch sensitive areas on the edges or back that let users efficiently and intuitively control some behaviors of the devices by touching the touch sensitive areas in certain ways. Embodiments of the present invention reduces the need for mechanical controls, which enables keeping the frame around the device's display unusually narrow, thereby permitting larger displays without increasing the overall sizes of the devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2009Publication date: October 15, 2009Inventor: Matt Pallakoff

Facilitating Display Of An Interactive And Dynamic Cloud Of Terms Related To One Or More Input Terms
Publication number: 20090259636Abstract: According to certain embodiments, facilitating display of terms includes facilitating display of a graphical user interface. One or more first input terms entered into a user entry window of the graphical user interface are received. One or more first output terms related to the first input terms are determined. Display of a first graphical cloud comprising the first output terms is facilitated. The first input terms are modified to yield one or more second input terms. One or more second output terms related to the second input terms are determined. Display of a second graphical cloud comprising the second output terms is facilitated.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2009Publication date: October 15, 2009Applicant: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Yannis Labrou, Stergios Stergiou, David L.
