301 results about "Control character" patented technology

In computing and telecommunication, a control character or non-printing character (NPC) is a code point (a number) in a character set, that does not represent a written symbol. They are used as in-band signaling to cause effects other than the addition of a symbol to the text. All other characters are mainly printing, printable, or graphic characters, except perhaps for the "space" character (see ASCII printable characters).

Semantic user interface

A system and method that allows a user to use their everyday language or user defined words to operate a computer in a highly efficient way. In short, every word, letter, control character and symbol is potentially actionable. A computer user's productivity is dramatically increased by making available those functions that enable a user to produce most of his work through simple, language-based commands. The present invention provides an intuitive interface, referred to as a semantic user interface (SUI), that enhances the operation of the current standard window-based interface in a manner that is simple, richer and natural. By leveraging all of the richness and power inherent in a user's language, the present invention provides an important tool that allows the personal computer to operate in a manner that is much closer to our natural way of interacting. A user is allowed to enter "commands" in his everyday natural language in order to control the operations of the computer. All commands are language-based and user-defined. These commands can be entered from any context of the user's computer (e.g., any application or operating system workspace). The commands allows a user to launch applications and navigate within applications by using language rather than clicks from a pointing device such as a mouse. It also allows the replacement of keystrokes with stored words or keystrokes. The system also keeps a complete archive record of all the text content the user provides as input, regardless of which application program or operating system window the user is operating in at the time. The combined set of all user defined commands and the memory of all the input text that is stored in the archive constitutes the personality profile and is transportable from one computer to another.

Process and apparatus for providing a one-dimensional computer input interface allowing movement in one or two directions to conduct pointer operations usually performed with a mouse and character input usually performed with a keyboard

The apparatus and method help physically-disabled persons perform point-and-click activities or input text or control characters, which typically require the user to simultaneously control two independent dimensions to select options presented on a computer display. Computer users operate a control in a single dimension (i.e., two directions—first embodiment) or in just one direction (second embodiment). Different input strategies allow a person using the one- or two-directional control method to emulate pointer functions and input characters or character strings. An embodiment augments antagonistic muscle groups for persons exhibiting adequate control in one direction but not the other. An additional embodiment uses available two-dimensional pointers but restricts their operation to one dimension. The output of existing sensors is converted to a form that can be input directly to a computer to be used with a one-dimensional control strategy.
