US Patent:

6757716, Jun 29, 2004

Filed:

Jul 9, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/349583

Inventors:

Darrell L. Blegen - Redmond WA
Hugh Rubin - Seattle WA
Derek Hazeur - Redmond WA

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 1516

US Classification:

709217, 709218, 709219, 709203, 705 42

Abstract:

An application hosting a browser modifies its own functionality in some manner based on whether particular content (e. g. , an identifier) is present in a document for rendering by the browser. In one embodiment, a financial statement page for rendering via the hosted browser is scanned to determine if an identifier corresponding to a download button is present. If present, the host application provides an alternate download button that does not scroll off the screen as the page is scrolled. The present invention also suppresses a dialog box (e. g. , the open/save dialog box) when a request for a certain file type is made by a hosted browser. For example, a request for download of financial information suppresses the open/save dialog box, and automatically opens the downloaded file.

Inventors:

David A. Bolnick - Seattle WA
Hugh V. Rubin - Seattle WA
Mark A. Malamud - Seattle WA

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 1500

US Classification:

345342

Abstract:

A display arrangement system and method are disclosed for arranging repositionable graphical representations corresponding to a set of computer resources. The display arrangement system includes a layout that specifies a criterion for arranging the repositionable graphical representations. The criterion specifies at least one arrangement rule based upon the content of the computer resources. The display arrangement system also includes a graphical display arrange processor that arranges the repositionable graphical representations by applying the criterion to their corresponding computer resources. Layouts comprise one or more frames. Each frame designates a perimeter on the graphical user interface. Each frame also includes at least one filter property value for limiting the association of individual ones of the set of computer resources with the frame. An example of a particular filter value for a frame is a filter designating only "document" type computer resources will be associated with a particular frame.

Hugh V. Rubin - Seattle WA

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 314

US Classification:

345347

Abstract:

A computer system has an improved graphical user interface feature. The improved graphical user interface displays a target image representing a retracted slide out command bar containing a set of selectable computer resources. When the user moves a display pointer to a location near the target image, the target image is replaced by the slide out command bar. The slide out command bar remains visible and its computer resources accessible via the mouse-controlled display pointer until the user either clicks the mouse or moves the display pointer outside an extended detection region of the graphical user interface associated with the unretracted slide out command bar.
