Filed:

Aug 28, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/143279

Inventors:

Timothy Gill - Denver CO
Matthew Phillips - Mill Creek WA
Parviz Banki - Aurora CO

Assignee:

Quark, Inc. - Denver CO

International Classification:

G06K 900

US Classification:

382162, 382165, 358515, 358523, 345591, 345593, 345604

Abstract:

A process and system for depicting a combination of process colors and spot colors on a radiant light source such as a computer monitor screen. The invention provides a user-definable âmeta-inkâ color which is made up of the components of the process colors and the spot colors. Shade values are assigned to each of these components to create the meta-ink color. This meta-ink color then replaces the document color for visual depiction on the radiant light source. This process and system provides a more accurate depiction of the representation of the printed image.

US Classification:

707501, 707 3, 707 4, 707 5, 345302

Abstract:

An application for managing digital assets regardless of type or format. The application allows assets to be check-in, either on an individual asset basis or on a group basis, and check-out. Information regarding assets is stored in a data-base to enable searching for the assets without searching the assets themselves. The user is provided features for organizing assets retrieved in accordance with supplied criteria and for performing actions on assets in a batch mode. Digital assets are retrieved from the storage servers by queries. The query results are displayed in a user-customizable Query Palette. User Views are provided to group references or icons representing selected assets to organize the references to the assets without affecting the organization of the assets themselves. Methods and processes are applied to optimize asset management across a distributed architecture by monitoring and balancing the load and usage of the server and the storage entities.

International Classification:

G06T 100
G09G 114

US Classification:

345302

Abstract:

A multi-media presentation system is disclosed for coordinating access to multi-media presentation data and related information. The multi-media presentation data typically includes text, image data and layout data. The related information is stored in an item header file, as well as in a number of records. The system includes a network of computers including computers dedicated to performing certain tasks related to obtaining multi-media presentation data and such related information. To coordinate the multi-media presentation process, the ability to modify content contained in an item file is limited while certain of the records that include useful information related to the same item file are separately available for other network staff members. The system also generates watch records to notify staff members of the current status of, availability of, or to provide other information related to, a multi-media object of interest.

International Classification:

H04L 900
G06F 1214

US Classification:

380 4

Abstract:

A system for selectively preventing a primary computer software program from being operable until a separate, secondary computer software program posing questions to the potential user of the primary computer software program has received answers to the questions using the keyboard of the computer. The system visually displays the questions from the secondary computer software program, determines whether the answers to the questions have been entered through the computer keyboard, verifies the format of the answers, records the answers for transmission to the software producer and then transfers the primary computer software program from a non-executable code form on one or more floppy disks to an executable code form on the hard disk drive of the computer. The user responses are recorded in some convenient form for transmittal to the company. The form of transmittal may be printed, though recording on magnetic media or transmission by other electronic means is preferable.

International Classification:

G06T 1160

US Classification:

345302

Abstract:

The multi-media presentation generation system combines media objects of multiple diverse types into an integrated multi-media presentation. The resultant multi-media presentation can be defined in an output-independent representation, which the multi-media presentation generation system converts into a representation that is optimized for the destination storage and/or presentation medium selected by the author. The multi-media presentation generation system uses a page based document layout paradigm to regulate the spatial relationships among the plurality of objects contained within the multi-media presentation. The page based document layout system partitions document pages, as defined by the author, into a plurality of objects, each of which is independently editable by the author. A multi-media authoring tool extends the capabilities of the page based document layout system to enable an author to merge both static and dynamic objects in a page layout environment to create the multi-media presentation. The resultant multi-media presentation comprises a static background on which is overlaid a plurality of independently running dynamic objects, which objects may be responsive to the user's input.

Abstract:

A publication system is disclosed for coordinating access to publication data and related information. The publication data typically includes text, image data and layout data. The related information is stored in an item header file, as well as in a number of records. The system includes a network of computers including computers dedicated to performing certain tasks related to obtaining publication data and such related information. To coordinate the publication process, the ability to modify text contained in an item file is limited while certain of the records that include useful information related to the same item file are separately available for other network users. The system also generates watch records to notify users of the current status of, availability of, or to provide other information related to, a publication item of interest. Algorithms are also disclosed for facilitating the writing and editing of text for an article.
