Abstract:
The present invention provides a service providing device and a service providing method enabling a user to accept the service by utilizing the capabilities of several various devices. An available physical device or a combination of the physical devices is selected for the user based on the service requirement, and the user accepts the service via the selected physical device or the combination of the physical 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 therefore the invention 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, and therefore a seamless service may be provided to the user.

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 technique for transferring a graphical object in a graphical user interface on a computer display from a source window to a target window. It is determined that a graphical object from the source window has entered the target window during a drag and drop operation. Next, it is determined that the graphical object has hit an interior boundary of the target window. The target window is scrolled so long as the graphical object continues to hit the interior boundary. Once the target location is visible in the target window, the graphical object is located at the target location at conclusion of the drag and drop operation. Some target windows of the graphical user interface are scrollable during a drag and drop operation with a graphical object from a foreign window, while some windows are not. Thus, in a mixed graphical user interface, it must be determined whether the target window is scrollable during a drag and drop operation.
Abstract:
AT9-91-066 A method, system and program providing scaled depiction of information from a database is disclosed. In a preferred form, tables and lists are obtained from a database and used to build a data structure. The data structure is employed to define various relationships between the dynamic data and the database information using a number line to display ranges of information to a user. The system employs a query interface and a relational database to provide an ergonomic, natural display system for a database user.
