International Classification:
G09G 5/00
G06T 13/00
G06T 13/00
US Classification:
345679, 345959, 345473
Abstract:
A method presents a set of input images on a display device. First, a set of display images is selected from the set of images. A 3D layout is assigned to each selected image, and a 3D trajectory is assigned to a virtual camera. A set of active images of the set of display images is rendered according to the layout and the trajectory. The set of active images includes a collector image. The collector images is rendered statically in a collector frame of an image plane of the display device, while remaining images in the set of active images are rendered dynamically on the image plane. Then, the layout and trajectory are animated according user input, and the rendering and animating is repeated until a termination condition is reached.

US Classification:
348143, 348135, 382107, 382173
Abstract:
A method summarizes a video acquired of a scene spatially and temporally by specifying a spatial query and a temporal query. Frames of the video are selected according to the spatial query and the temporal query, and then the selected frames are composited into an image that represents spatial and temporal characteristics of the scene.
Collaborative Web Browsing
US Patent:
2002013, Sep 26, 2002
Filed:
Mar 21, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/814190
Inventors:
Alan Esenther - Ashland MA, US
Assignee:
Mitsubishi Electric Information Technology Center America, Inc. (ITA)
International Classification:
G06F015/16
US Classification:
709/227000, 709/203000
Abstract:
A computerized system enables multiple users of standard Internet web browsers to collaborate by having significant states of their browser, such as which web page is currently being viewed, scrollbar positions, and form values, to be remotely controlled by users of other Internet web browsers. The system uses a monitor to poll the static and dynamic state of the selected pages, and to communicate the state with a controller executing on a web server. The content of the collaboratively viewed pages is arbitrary because viewed pages remain unmodified. Therefore, pre-existing web pages can be collaboratively browsed. Each of the users is optionally a sender or a receiver of selected web pages, and therefore is allowed to control which web pages are collaboratively viewed.
Method And System For Emulating A Mouse On A Multi-Touch Sensitive Surface
US Patent:
2007025, Nov 8, 2007
Filed:
May 3, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/416719
Inventors:
Alan Esenther - Ashland MA, US
Kathleen Ryall - Wayland MA, US
Kathleen Ryall - Wayland MA, US
International Classification:
G06F 3/041
US Classification:
345173000
Abstract:
A computer implemented method for emulating a mouse with a multi-touch sensitive display surface. Sensing a touching, movement or tapping by one or several fingers or fist emulates mechanical mouse functionality. Sensing a first touching by a first finger at a first location on a multi-touch sensitive display surface and sensing concurrently a second touching by a second finger at a second location on the multi-touch sensitive display surface displays a graphic object on the multi-touch display surface at a position dependent on the first location and the second location to emulate moving a mouse.
Method And System For Adapting A Single-Client, Single-User Application To A Multi-User, Multi-Client Environment
US Patent:
2007026, Nov 8, 2007
Filed:
May 8, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/430234

International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709203000
Abstract:
The invention provides a method and system for adapting a single-user, single-client application for multiple clients operated by multiple users. An instance of an unmodified single-client, single-user application is executed in each of the clients, and the execution of the multiple instances of the application is coordinated by a wrapper application executing in each of the clients. The wrapper application is configured to communicate messages between the clients via a network to facilitate the coordination.
Method And System For Displaying Multiple Synchronized Images
US Patent:
2009004, Feb 12, 2009
Filed:
Aug 7, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/835068
Inventors:
Alan W. Esenther - Ashland MA, US
International Classification:
G06F 3/041
US Classification:
345173
Abstract:
A primary image is displayed a touch sensitive surface while touches at a first location and a second location on the touch sensitive surface are sensed. A baseline between the first location and the second location is determined. The baseline has a length and orientation. A secondary image comparable to the primary image is displayed. The secondary image has a size and a point of view corresponding respectively to the length and orientation of the baseline. Multiple users can also interact with the primary image simultaneously.
Method For Extracting Data From Web Pages
US Patent:
2010008, Apr 1, 2010
Filed:
Sep 29, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/239859
Inventors:
Daniel N. Nikovski - Brookline MA, US
Alan W. Esenther - Ashland MA, US
Alan W. Esenther - Ashland MA, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
715234
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention describe a computer-implemented method for extracting data from web pages. During a learning stage, the embodiments receive a template web page represented by a template Document Object Model (DOM) and select a record node, which is a root node of a sub-tree of the template DOM that contains data to be extracted. After that, a record node sub-tree and data field sub-paths are stored in a memory, wherein the record node is a root node of the record node sub-tree, and the data field sub-paths are relative paths of the template DOM from the record node to data field nodes. During the extraction stage, a web page represented by a DOM-tree is received and a matched sub-tree of the DOM-tree according to a structure of the record node sub-tree is identified. Next, data from the matched sub-tree according to the data field sub-paths are extracted.
Method And System For Emulating A Mouse On A Multi-Touch Sensitive Surface
US Patent:
2012006, Mar 22, 2012
Filed:
Jul 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/194597
Inventors:
Alan W. Esenther - Ashland MA, US
Kathleen Ryall - Wayland MA, US
Kathleen Ryall - Wayland MA, US
International Classification:
G06F 3/045
US Classification:
345174
Abstract:
A computer implemented method for emulating a mouse with a multi-touch sensitive display surface, wherein a touching of the multi-touch sensitive display surface by a user creates a capacitive coupling between the user and the multi-touch sensitive display surface at a location of the touching. The method senses concurrently a first touching by a first finger at a first location on a multi-touch sensitive display surface and a second touching by a second finger at a second location on the multi-touch sensitive display surface, wherein the sensing uses capacitive couplings between the user and the multi-touch sensitive display surface; and displays a graphic object on the multi-touch display surface at a position dependent on the first location and the second location.
