International Classification:

G06F 300

US Classification:

395345

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for simplifying active window selection and shared command execution in a computer system generates a menu corresponding to a first application of a plurality of applications which can be executed concurrently in the computer system. The menu identifies a subset of the plurality of applications whose corresponding windows can be made currently active. Additionally, one or more of the subset of applications is installed but is not executing at the computer system. A selection identifying one of the subset of applications is then received, and a window corresponding to the identified one of the subset of applications is made the currently active window. In one embodiment, the menu also includes a set of shared commands which can be executed in the computer system. These shared commands perform the same function for each application of the subset of applications. In this embodiment, upon selection of one of the shared commands from the menu, the selected command is executed.

International Classification:

G04F 800
G04C 2100

US Classification:

368109

Abstract:

An apparatus for providing perceptible cueing signals to an expectant mother to which she may synchronize her breathing for the purpose of easing delivery includes an oscillator of selectable frequency and duty cycle which drives physiologically perceptible transducers. In the preferred embodiment, the transducers are two different colored lamps, one of which is illuminated to cue inhalation and the other to cue exhalation. The apparatus includes a manual start/stop switch depressed by the expectant mother at the beginning and end, respectively, of a contraction period to initiate and terminate the periodic display of inhalation and exhalation lamps. The apparatus includes an elapsed time indicator initiated by a stop signal and halted by a start signal which measures and displays the time interval between contractions.

International Classification:

H04M 1100
H04N 715

US Classification:

379 9321

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for controlling participant input in a conferencing environment supporting at least first and second end points which can operate in at least two different modes. While in the first operating mode, the end points can make changes to the conference data at will. The conference remains in the first operating mode until a request is received from a participant to change the conference to a second operating mode. Once this request is received, the conference switches to the second operating mode. While in the second operating mode, only one of the first and second end points can make changes at any particular time.

International Classification:

H04L 1218

US Classification:

370260

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for synchronizing viewed information between a first endpoint and a second endpoint of a conferencing environment so that the first and second endpoints display the same location of the viewed information includes one of the endpoints receiving a request to synchronize the viewed information. An identifier of the location to which the document is to be synchronized is also received. The viewed information at the endpoint is then updated to display the identified location. In one embodiment, the first endpoint receives the request to synchronize the viewed information and sends a view synchronization message to the second endpoint. The view synchronization message includes a page identifier corresponding to the identified location and a center point which identifies a location within the page corresponding to the page identifier. Upon receipt of the view synchronization message, the viewed information at the second endpoint is updated to display the identified location.
