Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an application-aware method for allocating resources to applications based on a set of predefined policies comprising a Resource Allocation Program (RAP). SOLUTION: The RAP is application-aware in that the RAP does not arbitrarily allocate resources to requesting applications. Instead, the RAP allocates resources to requesting applications based on predefined policies. The RAP allows a user to define the resource allocation for each policy in a Resource Allocation Table and associate the applications with the policies in a Policy Application Table. When an application requests resources, the RAP looks to the Policy Allocation Table to determine the policy associated with the application and looks to the Resource Allocation Table to determine the permissible amount of resources to allocate to the application associated with the policy. The RAP then allocates the resources to the requesting application. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily select icons among plural icons which are placed in a computer display by integrating plural related icons in a master icon so that the integrated icons are concealed from a visual field. SOLUTION: First, whether the icons to be extinguished exist or not, namely, whether the icons to be integrated in the master icon exist or not is decided in an inquiry step 70 as 'do the icons to be extinguished exist?'. When one or more icons are decided to be integrated, the icons are extinguished in a step 72 and the master icons are graphically changed if necessary. Thus, easier and more prompt selection of specified icons is enabled by assisting a computer user to operate the icons by a manual work via a complicated task in the computer display.
