Abstract:
A method, data processing system and program product for providing a location sensitive user interface by acquiring a geographic location of the portable data processor and selecting a user interface environment associated with the acquired location of the portable data processor. The selected user interface environment is activated as the user interface environment of the portable data processor. The portable data processor may also determine if it is in motion. A user interface environment associated with the portable data processor being in motion is then selected and activated. Location sensitive data may also be provided based upon the acquired location of the portable data processor. The location of the portable data processor may be acquired from an automated position sensing system.
Abstract:
A method, data processing system and program product for providing a connection from a portable data processor to a second data processor by acquiring a geographic location of the portable data processor and selecting a connection technique and/or a connection path associated with the acquired location of the portable data processor. The portable data processor then connects to the second data processor utilizing the selected connection technique and/or connection path. The connection technique and/or connection path may be selected from a plurality of connection techniques and/or connection paths which may be prioritized.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a user interface which suppresses the complexity of operation on a portable data processor. SOLUTION: The geographic position of the portable data processor is found 50 and user interface environment corresponding to the found position of the portable data processor is selected 54. The selected user interface is started as the user interface environment of the portable data processor. Such a judgement may be made even while the portable data processor is moving. Therefore, the user interface corresponding to the portable data processor in movement is selected and started. Further, position sense data may be provided according to the found position of the portable data processor. Further, the position of the portable data processor may be found by an automatic position determining sensor system.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple connection method for a portable data processor and a second data processor. SOLUTION: In the method for connecting the portable data processor to the second data processor, the data processing system and a program product, a geographical location of the portable data processor is acquired and connection technology and/or connection route associated with the acquired location of the portable data processor is selected to perform the connection. The portable data processor is connected to the second data processor by using the next selected connection technology and/or connection route. The connection technology and/or connection route may be selected out of a plurality of connection technology/connection routes to which priority can be set. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the user interface of a variable width window bar to a computer display system. SOLUTION: This improved graphical user interface for a computer system having a display screen is provided with a window bar area started from one edge of the display screen and extended toward the center of the display screen. In this case, window bars are continuously arranged so that the plural window bars can be displayed in the window bar area. Each window bar includes at least one graphic object. The interface includes a selection logic to be controlled by a user so that the number of the window bars to be simultaneously displayed in the window bar area can be controlled.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide technique for preparing viewer specified view of a document. SOLUTION: A method, a system and a computer program product which prepare viewer specified view of a document (including an e-mail message, a document of text base, a document or message including a plurality of media such as a text, an image, a sound file) are provide. A document (or message) writer designates document selection sections and allocates attributes to the sections. These attributes include receivers having the sections in self-view and further designate attributes such as a background color and a font used when a section is displayed, whether or not the section is subjected to copy protection, whether or not the section is transferred or printed, whether or not the section is enciphered before being transferred or stored, whether or not the section is subjected to rendering by sound or video or whether or not the section is subjected to rendering in a virtual reality world.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simply connect a portable data processor to a 2nd data processor by acquiring the geographical location of the portable data processor and selecting a connection technology and/or connection path relating to the location. SOLUTION: A portable data processor 10A acquires at first the geographical location of the portable data processor 10A and selects the connection technology and/or connection path relating to the location acquired by the processor 10A. The processor 10A discriminates it that the processor 10A is in existence in a location possible for connection to a local area network 20 based on the acquired geographical location. Then the selected connection technology is used and the processor 10A is connected to the 2nd data processor 22 via a hub 28.
