Abstract: Disclosed is a technology of making a user grasp and specify a basic configuration invisible in a finally generated three-dimensional configuration in a three-dimensional CAD system for generating the three-dimensional configuration by sequentially combining the basic configurations. A solid editing method in the three-dimensional CAD system for completing the three-dimensional configuration through a process of combining a plurality of basic configurations displayed on a display screen with an operation unit, comprises a step of displaying in-the-making configurations from a first basic configuration as a start configuration down to the final three-dimensional configuration, a selecting step of selecting one of the basic configurations displayed, and a step of setting, as an edit target, the basic configuration finally combined with respect to the selected in-the-making configuration.

Abstract: A system and method that are capable of assembling customizable graphical user interfaces to facilitate image processing in segmented images. The system receives an input segmented image. A correlation is then made between a selected portion of the input image and a predetermined set of image processing tools. The image processing tools corresponding to the selected portion are then assembled into a graphical user interface. The user then selects from this tailored list an appropriate image processing function.

Abstract: A method for stateful toggling of checkbox status, including detecting a touch event on a first checkbox, storing the initial status of all checkboxes in the set, and toggling the status of the first checkbox to a new status. Embodiments also include repeatedly, for a multiplicity of repetitions, carrying out the steps of detecting a drag event for a checkbox onto which a user drags the pointer, comparing the initial status of the checkbox onto which a user drags the pointer and the new status of the first checkbox, and if the stored initial status of a checkbox for which a drag event is detected is the same as the new status of the first checkbox, toggling the status of the checkbox for which a drag event is detected.

Abstract: The present invention aims at easy and efficient selection of bands present on a lane. A region 502 is set on a display of a lane 503 having a plurality of bands 504 to 508, based on an input cursor 501 of a pointing unit. The bands 506 to 508 within the region 502 are displayed to be in a selection candidate state. The size of the region 502 may be altered by an input of a predetermined key of a keyboard. Along with the size alteration of the region 502, bands to be displayed in the selection candidate state also change. By selecting with the mouse button, a band of interest is accurately selected from the bands in the selection candidate state.

Abstract: A computer system has a plurality of input pointing devices, such as a mouse, a track ball, a pointing stick, a tablet or a touch screen. Each of the plurality of input devices connected to the computer system has different parameters associated with a double-click operation, which different parameters are stored in separate registers under control of the operating system. Separate device drivers are associated with each input device, each device driver using the associated double-click parameters as stored by the operating system.

Abstract: A system, method, and medium for enhancing a GUI and viewing environment for a computer user is disclosed. Enabling a user to fully navigate and operate a computer through the use of a remote control device, the present invention includes at least a PC mode of operation and a theater mode of operation, wherein the theater mode is designed for distance use with the remote device. While operating in theater mode, received function key signals are interpreted by the computer system to operate various functions which have been modified to accommodate remote viewing and control. To enable the remote device to fully control the applications executable on the computer, the disclosed process notifies the various applications of the current operating mode.

Abstract: In an interactive display interface, an implementation for highlighting all icons in any set of a plurality of the icons, wherein each icon in the set is within a predetermined distance of an approaching pointer or cursor. In other words, the point of the pointer or cursor may be considered to be surrounded by a circular halo with a radius of said predetermined distance. The user moves the cursor in a standard manner. However, if the icons that the moving cursor is approaching are so densely spaced that more than one icon comes within the halo, then all of the icons within this set of the plurality of icons is highlighted to give the user a more distinct choice. The highlighting of each of the highlighted icons is ended when the pointer moves outside of the predetermined distance or halo radius.
