Systems and methods for providing an electronic reader having interactive and educational features

The present invention relates to an electronic reader. More particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods for providing an electronic reader having interactive and educational features. Generally, the electronic reader allows a user to view text on a visually perceptible output device (e.g., a screen) and to interact with the electronic reader through a tactile input device (e.g., a mouse). The user selects and, thereby, visually and / or audibly emphasizes words in the text through the use of the tactile input device. In some cases, the electronic reader records and reports the words that the user selects. Additionally, in some cases, pages of text displayed on the visually perceptible output device can be peeled back to reveal additional pages of text.

Systems and Methods for Isolating On-Screen Textual Data

The systems and methods of the client agent describe herein provides a solution to obtaining, recognizing and taking an action on text displayed by an application that is performed in a non-intrusive and application agnostic manner. In response to detecting idle activity of a cursor on the screen, the client agent captures a portion of the screen relative to the position of the cursor. The portion of the screen may include a textual element having text, such as a telephone number or other contact information. The client agent calculates a desired or predetermined scanning area based on the default fonts and screen resolution as well as the cursor position. The client agent performs optical character recognition on the captured image to determine any recognized text. By performing pattern matching on the recognized text, the client agent determines if the text has a format or content matching a desired pattern, such as phone number. In response to determining the recognized text corresponds to a desired pattern, the client agent displays a user interface element on the screen near the recognized text. The user interface element may be displayed as an overlay or superimposed to the textual element such that it seamlessly appears integrated with the application. The user interface element is selectable to take an action associated with the recognized text.

Automatically scrolling handwritten input user interface for personal digital assistants and the like

A handheld device 100 such as a personal digital assistant (PDA) or the like, a handwritten input user interface (HIUI), a method of interfacing handwritten text and a program product therefor. A lower portion of a touch enabled display is designated as a handwriting input area 104. Action icons 106, 108, 110, 112 and 114 are disposed at a right side of the handwriting user interface 102. Recognized text is displayed on the screen in a text display area located between a file management tool bar 116 and the handwritten input area 104. A scroll bar 118 is disposed at the right side of the display 112. As text is continuously entered each individual word may be recognized, and inserted into the end of the text stream. A word separator 120 may demarcate or bracket individual words in a continuous input stream. A secondary list of potential recognition candidates may be available for display in a box 128 and offered for substitution for or in lieu of the recognized word. Handwritten text may be continuously entered and displayed in the handwriting input area 104 as digital ink, the input point staying approximately fixed with the ink display automatically scrolling. The input area behaves as a "treadmill" or "ticker tape" that is moving from right to left, thereby giving the illusion of a continuous writing space. The speed of the "treadmill" automatically adapts to writing speed. The device 100 may include a communications function and, in particular the device may include an antenna 122 for wireless communication. Individual function switches, buttons and other controls are disposed about the device.

System and method for textually displaying an original flight plan and a modified flight plan simultaneously

A navigational system includes a display device and logic that simultaneously presents a textual display of an original flight plan and a modified flight plan on the display device. The textual display includes a textlist of waypoints that are on the original flight plan and the modified flight plan and performance data for common waypoints that are on both the original flight plan and the modified flight plan, as well as for new waypoints that are added to the modified flight plan. The performance data for each common waypoint includes performance data for the waypoint on the original flight plan and for the waypoint on the modified flight plan. The system may further include an interface device that allows an operator to change the modified flight plan. The logic updates the textlist of waypoints on the textual display when the modified flight plan is changed and updates the performance data on the textual display for common waypoints when the modified flight plan is changed. The logic may also designate on the textual display waypoints to be removed, which correspond to waypoints that are on the original flight plan but not on the modified flight plan, and, when the modified flight plan is activated to become a new flight plan, the logic removes from the textual display the waypoints that are designated to be removed.

System and method for call processing in a mobile device with position location capability

An exemplary wireless device includes a communication radio and a position location receiver. When the wireless device has established a call with the communication radio, and a request for position location is received, the communication radio is deactivated while the position location information is collected using the position location receiver. A local warning message is communicated to the user of the mobile device while the communication radio is disabled. The warning message may be a text display, a graphical display, an audio message, or an input-key challenge. By generating and presenting the local warning message, the user is made aware that the lack of normal call activity is expected and temporary. After the position location information is collected, the call is resumed with the communication radio, and the position location information is transmitted. Since the mobile device is now acting with normal call activity, the local warning is removed.
