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 representing a variable construct within a structured data stream. Structured data streams typically include a plurality of components, each component having multiple parameters therein. A trigger or other flag element within the data stream is utilized to provide a link or reference to a variable construct definition which has been created by the data stream originator or an independent end user. The variable construct definition is then utilized to determine previously nonexistent data which may then be utilized to process at least a portion of the data stream. In this manner, variable data within a structured data stream may be processed by linking the variable data to a non-variable construct within the data stream.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for dynamically actuating a selected background window displayed on a computer system among a plurality of windows which at least partially overlap the background window. The output of data from the selected background window is monitored and is utilized to selectively provide an unencumbered display by altering the display sequence of the windows to automatically promote the background window to the uppermost display position, in accordance with the state of a display attribute associated with the background window. After the output of data by the selected window has occurred, the display attribute may be utilized to determine whether or not the selected window returns to its previous display position or remains in the uppermost display position.

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 controlling the presentation of nested overlays on a display medium. An overlay function resource is provided which includes its own environment specification which is independent of the space and data environment specifications. Mixing attributes are associated with each overlay and are utilized to determine which overlay space and data are to take precedence and be visible when the overlayed spaces are combined and imaged on a display medium. In a preferred mode of the present invention, the foreground and background of each overlay are separately controlled by the mixing attributes which define the mixing rules for the layered presentation of multiple overlays. Additionally, the order of precedence for displaying multiple overlays may be selectively altered or varied to provide multiple displays and to permit an individual overlay to be repetitively utilized.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for simultaneously entering data into a plurality of active computer application programs which are displayed on a computer system in a plurality of windows. At least a portion of each of the plurality of windows are overlapped such that each window shares a common overlapping area. A display attribute associated with each window is then utilized to determine whether or not that window will "share" the common overlapping area with other windows. Thereafter, data input into the common overlapping area is shared by the computer application programs represented in those windows. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, separation of two overlapped windows after data entry into a common overlapped area will result in the presence of that data in both windows without the necessity of rekeying or copying that data.
