Method And Apparatus For Zoomed Display Of Characters Entered From A Telephone Keypad

View page
US Patent:
6473006, Oct 29, 2002
Filed:
Nov 23, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/447927
Inventors:
Francis S. Yu - Redwood Shores CA
Alain S. Rossmann - Palo Alto CA
Assignee:
Openwave Systems Inc. - Redwood City CA
International Classification:
H03K 1794
US Classification:
341 23, 341 22, 345467, 345471
Abstract:
A method and apparatus to provide users with enhanced visual feedback after entry of data. When a user activates a key or inputs a sequence of keystrokes, a corresponding data character or characters is determined and displayed in a highlighting window. The desired character or set of characters may be determined by a predictive data entry method. The highlighting window provides greater visual feedback to the user through magnification, reverse video, or some other form of contrast enhancement method. If the user scrolls to a new character or characters because the currently displayed one(s) are not desired, then the new character or characters are displayed in the highlighting window. When the user ceases scrolling, indicating that the currently displayed character or characters are what the user desires, the highlighting window disappears and the display of the selected character or characters is restored to be the same format as previously entered characters.

Method And Architecture For Interactive Two-Way Communication Devices To Interact With A Network

US Patent:
6473609, Oct 29, 2002
Filed:
Sep 14, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/153322
Inventors:
Bruce V. Schwartz - San Mateo CA
Russell S. Greer - Los Gatos CA
Stephen S. Boyle - Fremont CA
Mark A. Fox - San Mateo CA
Alain S. Rossmann - Palo Alto CA
Mark G. Lentczner - Mountain View CA
Andrew L. Laursen - San Mateo CA
Brad E. Sandman - Sunnyvale CA
Assignee:
Openwave Systems Inc. - Redwood City CA
International Classification:
H04Q 720
US Classification:
455406, 455422, 455426, 455414, 455550, 455408, 455403
Abstract:
The present invention is particularly applicable to navigation of Internet by two-way interactive communication mobile devices that are capable of wireless communication via a link server with service providers or network servers on the Internet. Despite the limited computing resources in mobile devices that make it economically and technically impractical for the mobile devices to operate a local browser functioning as if it was in a desktop computer, the present invention allows the mobile devices to interact effectively with the Internet using a control engine operating in the link server and an interface engine operating in the mobile devices. The control engine, which utilizes the computing resources of the link server device, is responsible for tasks that require considerable computing power and memory, such as processing of URL requests, interpretation of markup language files, management of data cache and variable states. Further, working with a message processor in the server device, the control engine communicates with an interface engine using a compact data format that is efficiently transportable in the wireless data network. The interface engine typically performs tasks that do not require considerable computing power and memory, such as receiving input data from users, and the rendering of the compact data format received from the link server device, to cause the mobile device to display contents in the markup language files on a display screen.

View page
US Patent:
6526439, Feb 25, 2003
Filed:
Mar 30, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/539186
Inventors:
Alain S. Rossmann - Palo Alto CA
Andrew L. Laursen - San Mateo CA
Bruce K. Martin - Palo Alto CA
Assignee:
Openwave Systems Inc. - Redwood City CA
International Classification:
G06F 1516
US Classification:
709219, 709217, 709203, 709304
Abstract:
Under the limited bandwidth of the current wireless data network and with the low memory in mobile devices in use today, the process of going through a number of intermediate pages to get to a desired page increases the latency of the information deliver and intensifies the network traffic. A method for accelerating the navigation of hypertext pages based on a compound request is disclosed. After a compound request is entered and activated, the compound request is parsed into an antecedent request followed by a final request wherein the antecedent request comprises a plurality of intermediate requests. All the intermediate requests are processed individually and sequentially as if they were entered individually and cards corresponding to the intermediate requests are fetched sequentially. A final card containing desired information by the final request is fetched based on the card corresponding to the last intermediate request and thereby displayed.
