Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a portable telephone equipped with a position detector for detecting geographical position of the portable telephone and a telephone system by which one or more land-based telephones or portable telephones can be called according to the geographical position. SOLUTION: One or more zones are defined, and a corresponding telephone parameter is defined for each zone. When a portable telephone enters or leaves a defined zone, or moves between two defined zones, functions of one or more land-based telephones or portable telephones can be changed. In a preferred embodiment, functions of one or more other telephones can be changed based on a geographical position of the portable telephone self-detected as described above. Thus, convenience of a portable telephone is improved significantly.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for identifying a traffic pattern, deciding a course, or determining a traffic jam, by using a known navigation system using identified information. SOLUTION: This computer system is used for deciding an appropriate course by determining a traffic pattern and traffic jam, by using the determined traffic pattern and traffic jam, and by using the global positioning system(GPS) and a related route map calculator. A vehicle is equipped with an on-vehicle computer system adapted to determine traveling time of the vehicle for each road section and to compute the course based on this information. A distributed network can be provided wherein this information is delivered to other vehicles or can be shared with other vehicles by other methods, and similar information is received from other vehicles to generate and share experienced traffic patterns. Also, a traffic pattern can be forecast by using this information.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for distinctively displaying windows on a computer display screen is disclosed. The amount of time each of the windows presented to the display screen is active (also known as "in focus") is monitored. Upon receipt of a command from the user, the windows that were active a longer length of time are displayed more distinctively than windows that were active a shorter length of time. Active windows can be displayed more distinctively in many different ways. One such way is by placing the most active window in the upper left corner of the screen and placing the rest of the windows in a descending order of activity from left to right and top to bottom on the screen. Another way is to cascade the windows, where the windows are cascaded in a descending order of activity from the front to the back of the window stack. Yet another way is to generate a list of window titles associated with each window, in a descending order of activity from the top of the list to the bottom of the list. Still another way of distinctively displaying more active windows is to put the most active window in focus, and then put the remainder of the windows in focus in descending order of activity in a toggle sequence of windows.

Abstract: A portable phone is equipped with a position detector that detects the geographical position of the portable phone, and a telephone system may ring one or more land-based phones or portable phones according to the geographical position of the portable phone. One or more geographical regions are defined, with corresponding telephone parameters defined for each region. When a portable phone enters a defined region, exits a defined region, or changes between two defined regions, the function of one or more land-based phones or portable phones may change. The preferred embodiments thus allow changing the function of one or more other phones based on the self-detected geographical position of a portable phone. In this manner the convenience of using portable phones is greatly enhanced.

Abstract: A portable phone is equipped with a position detector that detects the geographical position of the portable phone, and the function of the phone can be changed according to its geographical position. One or more "regions" may be defined by the user of the portable phone, and the ring parameters for each region may be set independently of the other regions. In this manner a phone in accordance with the preferred embodiments may ring with one tone at home, ring with a different tone at work, ring with a louder volume when on a job site, not ring at all when in church, and ring with a vibration when at the theatre. In addition, the preferred embodiments include a dialler that allows selecting a contact from a text list, and that dials a number that depends on the geographical position of the portable phone, or that dials a number and sends with the call the geographical position of the portable phone. The preferred embodiments further allow assigning a telephone number to a defined geographical region, and ringing the portable phone only when within the geographical region that corresponds to the phone number.

Abstract: The present invention uses three separate methods to provide the user with sounds that help the user understand where a particular current position is relative to an "location of interest" (LOI) within the viewable object. First, the user is able to use sound marks to mark specific LOIs within viewable objects so that the user may return to those LOIs at a later time. Second, the user is provided with view regions which aurally indicate the LOI of frequently used portions of the viewable object. Lastly, the user is given an aural indication of the current position of the position identifier relative to the viewable object as a whole. This is called relational positioning. Each type of aural LOI indication can be presented to the user regardless of how the user is moving through the viewable object.
