Inventors:

Theodore Shrader - Austin TX, US
David Clark - Cedar Park TX, US
Mary Ferguson - Austin TX, US
Julie Gilbreath - Liberty Hill TX, US

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707100000

Abstract:

Data structures are provided having physical and logical aspects which organize information in a manner which facilitates their replication across networks for the purpose of distributing information. In particular, data structures are provided for information worms and for information channels incorporating information worms. A computer programming product is provided for automated networked distribution of information. The product includes a memory and data, stored on the memory, for representing an information worm, including a worm ID. Also provided are a computing device for automated networked distribution of information and a signal encoded with a computer program for automated networked distribution of information.

US Classification:

715501100

Abstract:

A system, method, and related computer program for automatically cataloging Web elements, such as text and color, in a Web document for use by those performing searches for Web documents containing specific Web elements. The present invention allows users to scan Web elements into a Web site database where they are automatically cataloged for future searches of the particular element data. Searchers can search for a source document containing a particular color and/or text. Users may enter values related to scanned-in Web elements on source documents, such as an alternate color that may be used in addition to or instead of the scanned in color on said source document. Web elements or graphics are cataloged in a manner that allows users to query an entire set of objects quickly by accessing the database values. A user is able to automatically change text or color values on a global basis. Alternate values entered into the Web site database override Web element data previously scanned into the database.

US Classification:

715504000, 715513000

Abstract:

Methods, computer program products and systems are provided for navigating a display of a table in a computer application that includes enabling a context sensitive action menu, detecting activation of the action menu in the displayed table, and executing a table display control instruction from the context sensitive action menu to reformat and redisplay the table in a collapsed or an expanded format around one or more selected cells of the table. The display instruction indicates which columns, etc. are to be reformatted. Further steps may include populating an array with data from corresponding cells of the table and executing an array display control instruction to display at least a portion of the array on an action menu display panel. Navigation tools provide selection of array elements and reformatting and redisplaying the table in the collapsed or the expanded format around a table cell corresponding to the selected array cell.
