Abstract: PURPOSE: To obtain a window that is easily accessed by generating and showing a secondary display area which covers at least an optional window or an optional icon shown in a prescribed part of a primary display area and viewing completely the secondary display area and its contents on a display screen. CONSTITUTION: The display screen 75 shows a physical display console of a computer system. A desktop area 20 called primary display area is a part that is seen behind the screen in the background. An open window area 60 is prepared at the lower part of a desktop and the icons 55 to 58 are included in the desktop. As the window 60 is open. the contents of the window 60 are known and can be accessed by a cursor pointer 50. Thus, it is possible to obtain a window that can be easily accessed by the special cursor control and via icons.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To correct the change of the time position of a slot by comparing the overall pulse energy value of a preceding slot and that of a present slot to discriminate which is larger and indicating a slot where a pulse position encoded signal should be put. CONSTITUTION: A DSP 48 controls a clock signal which prescribes a slot position. A received pulse signal is integrated for the slot time by an integrator 44, and it is measured by an analog/digital converter 46 at the time of the end of data. This measured value is returned to the DSP 48 through a data bus 47. Next, the integrator 44 is reset in preparation for the next slot time. The DSP 48 applies various pulse recognition algorithms, noise reduction algorithms, and synchronizing algorithms to stored values to designate the slot position of the reception pulse while storing a series of measured values. Thus, a digital clock correction count to accurately match the slot center position to the reception pulse is calculated.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To unnecessitate a microcontroller used for executing a data bus protocol by executing an Apple disk-top bus(ADB) protocol for a hardware. CONSTITUTION: An ADB sub-chip 32 is provided with a DEVICEINT to form an interface with the circuit of a mouse sub-chip, an ADBTRANS 40 becomes a transmitting means for modulating binary data received from a device while performing a suitable function, and provided modulated data are inputted to a serial data bus. The section of ADBREC 42 is provided with a counting flag means, and an attention/synchronizing section and demodulating means are provided by the ADBREC section 42 of an ADB sub-chip 32. The hearing/ modulating means is provided by the ADBTRANS section 40 of the ADB sub- chip 32, and a hearing means, reset means and flash means are provided by the DEVICEINT section of the ADB sub-chip 32. Thus, the data bus protocol can be replaced with the microcontroller chip used for executing.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To easily develop an associative storage device for color selection by providing plural input nodes corresponding to each element of a color expressing device, and a plurality of output nodes corresponding to each element of the color expressing device, and connecting the input nodes through hidden nodes with the output nodes. CONSTITUTION: Each input node 801-804 is connected with each output node 805-808, and each input node is not connected with the output node corresponding to the input node itself. Four nodes are expanded to ten nodes, and the color of the ten interface elements of Macintosh display is expressed by using the two input nodes as one set and the ten output nodes. Thus, an associative storage device which selects the visually aesthetical combination of colors can be easily developed.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To automatically change names and numbers of items in accordance with a pattern clarified by the sequence of a similar example by observing the occurrence of instructions from the initial stage to the present and extending the pattern of the observed change to forecast its form at the time of next appearance. CONSTITUTION: A forecasted next instruction is clarified by monitoring and recording user instructions, performing reverse search so as to detect the initial sequence of instructions similar to the present sequence of instructions, and continuing the pattern of the change observed from the initial stage to the present of instructions. By this execution, a synthesized program which executes the sequence and its deformation can be generated, and this program can be executed by activation to execute the instruction sequence and its deformation. Thus, a user can perform programming based on the similar example without memorizing that the recording system is operated.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To minimize the movement of a cursor by sampling the parts of an electric signal, which are temporarily discreted, by means of a cursor controller and executing respective samples in the designated section of the function of prediction speed in the movement of the cursor controller. CONSTITUTION: This cursor controller generates the electric signal expressing a position and at least two parts of the electric signal, which is temporarily discreted, are sampled. The respective samples are executed in a designated period and the designated period is the function of prediction speed in the movement of the cursor controller. The sampled parts are compared mutuallyt and with the precedingly sampled electric signal. Comparison is analyzed for deciding whether or not the signal is transmitted to a cursor so as to execute movement in the display of a computer controller. Thus, the 'jitter' of the cursor when the cursor controller is substantially still is minimized.
