Abstract: Electronic creation, modification and presentation of composed documents containing mixed document type characteristics is specifiable in a single data stream definition. This eliminates the proliferation of different architecture protocols that describe the various states of a document and reflects the natural condition of a composed document with some sections being in revisable state while other document sections are completed and therefore suitable for presentation. In addition, this data stream definition functions in an interchange environment and is therefore "self-contained" and capable of containing all the resources (e.g., fonts for text data, etc.) required for complete document composition fidelity.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for managing marker entities within a document data stream independently of the content of the data stream. The method provides consistent specification and independent processing of marker entities which may include both text and non-text data and which may be associated physically and/or logically with data stream content at the document or lower order entity level. A define marker structure control is utilized within the data stream to specify in a data type independent fashion the physical structure and content of a marker entity as well as defining any desired relationship of a marker entity with another entity within the data stream. A map marker control is then utilized to control the position within a presentation area where the marker entity is to be imaged. In this manner, the method of the present invention provides a flexible, efficient and useful manner to associate a marker entity within a document data stream which may be tied to specific layout areas during presentation and which may be easily manipulated at a data stream level.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for dynamically selecting data formats for logical elements which are recursively nested within a document. A data processing system user is initially interactively prompted to establish logical element data formats which correspond to the order of appearance of a logical element within a nested relationship and the level within that nested relationship where the logical element appears. Thereafter, the creation or relocation of a logical element within the document will result in a data format being automatically assigned based upon the order of appearance and level of that logical element within the nested relationship within the document.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for selectively accessing a particular one of a plurality of computer applications which are simultaneously active and displayed in a plurality of overlapping viewports or windows in a multi-tasking system. User inputs to the system are monitored to determine the position of a cursor within a window or the location of an attempted data input to a window and the particular window thus selected is displayed unencumbered by promoting it to the uppermost display position in accordance with the state of a display attribute associated with that window. Thereafter, the display attribute is utilized to determine whether or not the selected window returns to its previous display position or remains in the uppermost display position in response to the movement of the cursor or the attempt by a user to input data into a second selected window.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for nesting and processing mixed data objects from diverse data types including: text, image, and graphics. The method permits the utilization of shared environmental specifications for processing multiple data objects. Each mixed data object includes a pair of object delimiters, which identify the beginning and end of that object, and an environment control indicator which determines whether that object will inherit environment objects from a nesting object or pass environment objects to the nesting object. An appropriate application for processing each object is called in response to the detection of the beginning of that object and is returned to after any intervening objects have been processed. Processing is accomplished utilizing environment elements from the current object or a previous object so that coordinate systems, color, units of measure or current positions may be shared between objects while allowing specific applications suited to a particular object to be utilized for processing.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for utilizing a general layout structure of a document which contains relationships within its layout constructs that offer choices when creating the document and conforming instances of logical elements with the general layout structure, taking in to account specific device characteristics, to generate the final-form document. The relationships are defined as expressions similar to those existing in general logical document structure definitions. Thus, an intermediate phase of document interchange between revision and final-form is introduced which saves data transmission time and gives the receiver some flexibility in presentation options while still conforming to a general layout definition. Further, the general layout definition may be used by a receiver to optimize its processing by identifying the possible layout presentation constructs appearing in the subsequent specific instance of the conforming document.
