Filed:

Aug 7, 1995

Appl. No.:

08/512021

Inventors:

Stephen P. Capps - San Carlos CA
Joseph G. Ansanelli - Palo Alto CA

Assignee:

Apple Computer, Inc. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06F 1760

US Classification:

345762, 345808

Abstract:

A computer system is disclosed which may adopt one of many personas, depending upon the role that its owner is currently playing. The computer system includes a central repository of extensible personas available to all applications running on the computer system. Each such persona has associated therewith a suite of parameters, or specific values for parameters, which are appropriate for conducting computer implemented transactions under a particular persona. The computer system further includes a graphical user interface which allows the user to switch from persona to persona by selecting a particular persona from a list of available personas displayed on a display screen of the computer system. By selecting such persona, the user causes the computer system to globally change the entire suite of parameter values so that subsequent transactions conducted with the computer system employ the parameter values of the current persona.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for detecting pre-selected data stored on a personal computing device is described. In one embodiment, contents of data storage media of a personal computing device are searched for pre-selected sensitive data. In one embodiment, if at least a portion of the pre-selected sensitive data is detected, a notification of the detection of the pre-selected data is sent to a system via a network. In another embodiment, if at least a portion of pre-selected sensitive data is detected, the access to this data is blocked.

International Classification:

US Classification:

395765

Abstract:

A method of modifying a display matrix in a matrix display area in a window on a computer display screen. The method includes the steps of displaying data in a matrix format, thereby forming a display matrix in the matrix display area, the matrix display area having a first dimension, and increasing, responsive to a selection of an increase activator, the number of existing columns of matrix cells in the display matrix by adding an additional column of matrix cells to the display matrix. The method further includes the step of computing, using a central processing unit, a computed width of a column of matrix cells in the existing columns of matrix cells if the column of matrix cells is reduced in width to accommodate the additional column of matrix cells. The method also includes the steps of reducing the width of the column of matrix cells to accommodate the additional column of matrix cells within the first dimension if the computed width does not fall below a predefined minimum column width, and increasing a width of the matrix display area to accommodate the additional column of matrix cells if the computed width falls below the predefined minimum column width.
