    Abstract: A system and method is described for presenting dynamic data on a display device. The dynamic data is displayed in a notebook as a plurality of groups, each group assigned to a page in the notebook. The dynamic data is monitored to detect a change in state of the dynamic data. In response to a detected change, a determination is made as to whether the dynamic data should be regrouped in response to the change in state. If the data is regrouped, the notebook is then displayed according to the regrouped dynamic data. Each page in the notebook preferably has a tab which is displayed according to the state of the group assigned to that page. In response to the detected change of the dynamic data, the display of the tab may also be changed. Typically, the top page in the notebook has a window displayed within. A child window can be created by copying the window to a location on the display device outside the notebook. When the notebook is closed in response to a user command, the child window is automatically closed in response to closing the notebook.

    Abstract: Provides a service providing device and method enabling a user to accept the service by utilizing the capabilities of several various devices. At least one physical device is selected for the user based on the service requirement. The user accepts the service via the selected physical device or devices. The invention “hides” the physical devices by using a virtual device to provide the service for users. Furthermore, the invention provides a “tailored” virtual device based on the environment around the user, the favorite of user and the requirements of the service, and may provide to the user the “tailored” information suitable for the user. The operating environment of the virtual device according to the invention is dynamically changeable according to the environment around the user, the favorite of user and the requirements of the service. Thus, a seamless service may be provided to the user.

    Abstract: A graphical interface for a database is provided to simplify the definition of individual predicates, the definition of the relationship of predicates, the editing of predicates, and the editing of the relationship of predicates is simplified. The interface is dynamic and interactive for the user thereby facilitating the completion of the task being performed. The user need not remember the related column information for a specified predicate because the system will provide that information simultaneously with the predicate definition in a form that supports the direct manipulation of the related information. The predicates and their relationship are displayed simultaneously with the definition activities for both the initial definition and any subsequent editing activities. The user may select this information and drag it to the desired location to proceed on the desired activity.

    Abstract: A system, program and method for interfacing a human user to an indexed field of data from a database. The invention is particularly directed to the definition of a BETWEEN argument in a database query. A ruler is linearly related to the data in the field. Individually movable tacks are positioned along the ruler to define the boundaries of a range in direct correspondence to a range of data from within the field. Dialog blocks are provided for alphanumeric entry and readout of tack location data. In a preferred form, the ruler also provides control blocks which are individually related to the tacks and are suitable to increment or decrement the tack values as relates to the data in the field.
