Newness and distinctiveness is claimed in the features of ornamentation as shown inside the broken line circle in the accompanying representation.

Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

Graphical user interface for a display screen or portion thereof

Methods and apparatus for managing, finding and displaying objects such as digital images. Objects are tagged (“associated”) with descriptive textual and numeric data (“metadata”), and stored in a relational database from which they can be selected, sorted, and found. Tags can be defined by name, tag type, and associated attributes. Objects can be tagged by dropping a tag onto the object, or relating a database record for the tag to a database record for the object. Tagged objects can be searched for and displayed according to the degree to which their metadata matches the search criteria. Visual cues can indicate whether displayed objects match all, some but not all, or none of the search criteria. Database object distributions can be displayed as histograms or scatter plots, including timelines, calendars or maps. Object distributions can be used to search for objects or to limit search results for a previous search.

Digital media management apparatus and methods

An authoring environment for creating and/or editing user interface elements such as widgets used in a unified interest layer. The authoring environment facilitates creation of widgets that have a consistent appearance and mechanism, and allows third-party developers to easily create widgets that have a look and feel that is consistent with a predefined set of widgets.

Widget authoring and editing environment

A system for empirically diagnosing a condition of a monitored system. Estimates of monitored parameters from a model of the system provide residual values that can be analyzed for failure mode signature recognition. Residual values can also be tested for alert (non-zero) conditions, and patterns of alerts thus generated are analyzed for failure mode signature patterns. The system employs a similarity operator for signature recognition and also for parameter estimation. Failure modes are empirically determined, and precursor data is automatically analyzed to determine differentiable signatures for failure modes.

Diagnostic systems and methods for predictive condition monitoring

A method and data processing system for efficiently creating a program in an object oriented environment using a graphic user interface. An object is graphically displayed within the graphic user interface, wherein the object includes a method written in an object-oriented language. The method has a number of parameters. Each parameter is graphically displayed in the graphic user interface. Such display may be in response to a selection of the graphically displayed object. Each parameter is visually associated with the graphically displayed object. A list of selections is displayed for a parameter in the plurality of parameters in response to a selection of the parameter. Specification of the parameter using the list of selections by the user is permitted, wherein the parameter is specified using the list of selections is propagated to the method in the object oriented language used to create the object. A tree structure may be used to display associations between the parameters and displayed objects.

Method and system for specifying method parameters in a visual programming system

An apparatus for modifying a database query including apparatus for graphically displaying in at least two dimensions data obtained from a database by the database query, apparatus for selecting at least one portion of the graphically displayed data, and apparatus for modifying the database query according to the selected portion of the graphically displayed data. In addition, a method for modifying a database query including the steps of graphically displaying in at least two dimensions data obtained from a database by the database query, selecting at least one portion of the graphically displayed data, and modifying the database query according to the selected portion of the graphically displayed data.

Method and apparatus for searching a database by interactively modifying a database query

A system, program and method for interfacing a human user to an indexed field of data from a database. The invention is particularly directed to the definition of a BETWEEN argument in a database query. A ruler is linearly related to the data in the field. Individually movable tacks are positioned along the ruler to define the boundaries of a range in direct correspondence to a range of data from within the field. Dialog blocks are provided for alphanumeric entry and readout of tack location data. In a preferred form, the ruler also provides control blocks which are individually related to the tacks and are suitable to increment or decrement the tack values as relates to the data in the field.

Graphic definition of range in the selection of data from a database field

A method, system and program providing scaled depiction of information from a database. In a preferred form, tables and lists are obtained from a database and used to build a data structure. The data structure is employed to define various relationships between the dynamic data and the database information using a numberline to display ranges of information to a user. The system employs a query interface and a relational database to provide an ergonomic, natural display system for a database user.

Scaled depiction of information from a database

A method and system for testing a script or section of code within program using a graphic user interface. The data processing system also includes an object oriented system having a first and second object within it. A script or a section of code is associated with the first object, wherein the script or section of code is associated as a method within the first object. A second object is displayed within the graphic user interface, wherein the second object may be selected by a user. Selection of the second object within the graphic user interface by a user results in a message being sent to the first object triggering execution of the script or section of code. Such a system provides an efficient method and apparatus for testing a script or section of code.
