    Abstract: The method and system of the invention maintains the indication of the logical relationship of freeform digital ink annotations to objects in an electronic display even as the view changes. The invention maps the logical relationship of the freeform digital ink annotations to objects in the view based upon the layout relationships of the freeform digital ink annotations to the objects in the view. If the view changes, the invention maintains the layout relationship of the freeform digital ink annotations to the objects in the view based upon the mapping of the freeform digital ink annotations to the objects.

    Abstract: The present invention is a system for maintaining processing continuity between a mobile processing unit (26) and remotely resident applications (68). The system includes a network backbone (12), at least one stationary processor coupled to the backbone (12), and at least one transceiver (16) coupled to the backbone. The transceivers (16) are configured to communicate with the mobile unit (26) through a wireless medium. Mobile units intermittently communicate with applications The present invention employs a process that is dedicated to handling all communications between its associated mobile unit and applications. This process is responsible for the scheduling of communications sessions with the mobile unit.

    Abstract: A method for accessing members of an ordered data set (12; Fig.1) includes a procedure for dividing an ordered data set into multiple ordered subsets (18; Fig.1), designating at least one member (a,d,h,l,p,t,z) of each ordered subset as a bracket member (16), referencing those members of each ordered subset not identified as bracket members with a collective data member symbol (14), and displaying an ordered set of bracket members (16), with a collective data member symbol (14) such as an ellipsis displayed between those bracket members separated from each other by two or more members in the ordered data set. Upon user selection with pointing a device (22) of the ellipsis (14), this procedure is repeated, with those members of each ordered subset not identified as bracket members (16), and arranged between a respective pair of bracket members, constituting a new ordered data set (Fig.3) capable of being divided into multiple ordered subsets. In effect, this method references data not shown on a display screen through designation with an ellipsis, and advantageously allows access to large sets of ordered data even with a physically small display device or computer.

    Abstract: The present invention comprises a method and a system by which mobile, remote, adaptable controllers can dynamically control a multitude of resources within a given region (e.g. a room) such that policies determined for the region, controllers, and resources can be arbitrated in a manner that creates a meaningful work environment for users in the region. Furthermore, the present invention allows a controller to dynamically choose one of various modes of operation, either singly or in combination, allowing the user of the controller a maximum of flexibility in interacting with the resources in the region. These modes of operation comprise, but are not limited, to: a manual mode whereby a user may select a list of available resources that meet region-level policy and two automatic modes whereby controllers and resources may, without direct user input, make requests and allocation based on region-level policy and other constraints. The present invention maximizes the control of the resources of a region such that the control of the most suitable resources is dynamically situated in the hands of the user on an adaptable mobile controller.
