Time-Space Object Containment For Graphical User Interface

View page
US Patent:
54044391, Apr 4, 1995
Filed:
Apr 15, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/869559
Inventors:
Thomas P. Moran - Palo Alto CA
Elin R. Pederson - Copenhagen, DK
Michael K. McCall - Menlo Park CA
Frank G. Halasz - Santa Cruz CA
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT
International Classification:
G06F 1562
US Classification:
395155
Abstract:
A computer-controlled graphics display system providing improved means for selecting objects for joint action. The invention helps the user of a graphical user interface more easily select a group of objects that are meaningfully related to each other. Objects are usually created serially in time by a user, but they are typically selected by spatial grouping in graphical user interfaces. The invention shows that such a spatial grouping can be refined by considering the temporal grouping of objects. Algorithms are proposed which combine both spatial and temporal grouping to produce the most appropriate grouping of objects, i. e. , groupings that most likely conform to the user's intentions.

Wiping Metaphor As A User Interface For Operating On Graphical Objects On An Interactive Graphical Display

View page
US Patent:
55487050, Aug 20, 1996
Filed:
Feb 27, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/394919
Inventors:
Thomas P. Moran - Palo Alto CA
Elin R. Pedersen - Copenhagen, DK
Michael K. McCall - Menlo Park CA
Frank G. Halasz - Santa Cruz CA
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT
International Classification:
G06T 1180
US Classification:
395159
Abstract:
A computer-controlled graphics display system using object-based representations of the displayed objects, and cooperating with a user-operated motion-sensitive input device. A powerful user interface technique called "wiping" is described. This allows selection by the user of target objects to be acted on by accessing an applicator and sweeping the applicator over the display. Selected objects are determined by selection criteria including spatial intersection of the applicator sweep stroke with the displayed object, and time of object creation. The effect on the selected objects is on the entire object and is determined by an operator associated by the user with the applicator, such as object grouping, deletion, coloring, uncoloring, thickening, or object size relocation.

Light Diffusion Device

View page
US Patent:
20160320021, Nov 3, 2016
Filed:
Feb 10, 2014
Appl. No.:
15/108397
Inventors:
- Redwood City CA, US
Richard Alfons Wimmer - Redwood City CA, US
Frank Halasz - Santa Cruz CA, US
Assignee:
Lellan, Inc - Redwood City CA
International Classification:
F21V 7/00
F21V 7/04
G02B 5/02
F21V 7/22
Abstract:
A light diffusion device is described that provides uniform light output from a surface. One embodiment uses a short ratio of device height to width of the surface. The diffusion device comprises a reflector with a light entry window, a reflective baffle, a novel shaped reflector, and a diffusion layer for light to exit through. Light travels primarily from the source to the baffle to the reflector, then to the diffusion layer. The reflector has a 3D diffuse reflector surface that is a typically evolved form near its center then smoothly morphs to a non-revolved, preformed shape near its corners. The diffusion device is free of refractive elements. In some embodiments the devices are placed adjacently, in an array, to form a tile or panel of programmable light sources. The baffle and reflector may be manufactured from a flat sheet. Multiple devices may have elements manufactured from monolithic material.

Seamless Illuminated Panel

View page
US Patent:
20150301781, Oct 22, 2015
Filed:
Oct 28, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/439014
Inventors:
- Redwood City, CA, US
Frank Halasz - Santa Cruz CA, US
Richard Alfons Wimmer - Redwood city CA, US
Assignee:
Lellan, Inc - Redwood City CA
International Classification:
G06F 3/14
F21V 17/10
F21V 11/00
H05B 33/08
Abstract:
A device and method of providing a versatile illuminated panel for walls, product displays, and other surfaces is described. Panels are constructed from a variable number of rectangular illuminated tiles, where the tiles mate edge-to-edge so as to create a nearly seamless visual panel effect. Illumination within each tile is uniform to also create a nearly seamless visual panel effect. End-users may create panels of varying sizes and shapes by using different quantities of a standard tile. The software within the invention automatically determines the number and arrangement of tiles within each assembled panel. Each tile comprises a plurality of illuminators, an optical means to distribute light from the illuminators uniformly across the tile, and at least one communication interface. In one embodiment the tiles are linked into a communications tree-structure; and the location of each tile within the tree constitutes its logical address.
