"CAHR is an architecture that supports design and reasoning tasks involving information represented in graphical and other non-sentential forms (e.g., tables, spreadsheets, diagrams), including tasks that involve multiple forms of representation (e.g., sentences and diagrams, or multiple forms of diagrams). The architecture helps users structure their solutions to design and reasoning problems, record the rationales that led to decisions, and maintain the structure of the reasoning for presentation to clients and collaborators. It can be incorporated into most individual software applications, or implemented to support reasoning tasks involving documents from several applications."
"By facilitating effortless capture, indexing, and retrieval of video and audio activities that involve sketching, Recall improves the performance and quality of documentation while eliminating overhead costs."
"This invention is able to infer an individual's intentions by interpreting the individual's eye movements. In the preferred embodiment, a software program is used in conjunction with a hardware eye-tracking device. The individual's eye movements are tracked by the eye-tracking device using X, Y, Z coordinates, which are analyzed using the software program."
A method of interfacing human users with electronic devices liberates electronic devices from specific input and output devices and substitutes a universal communication system between them. The method combines the advantages of personal customization with the advantages of unlimited access to electronic devices. In particular, it provides disabled individuals with full access to suitably equipped electronic devices such as ATMs, telephones, fax machines, computers, copiers, TVs, VCRs, stereos, and microwave ovens. This method therefore provides the means for making these important electronic devices equally accessible to everyone. In a preferred embodiment, the communication system includes a speech synthesis and recognition system which is connected to an accessor total access port, an ATM connected to a target total access port, and a total access link between the accessor total access port and the target total access port. The total access link is an information link over which universal data packets are transmitted between the total access ports. The universal data packets have a device-independent form and contain user-functional representations of data. A dialog initiated by the accessor total access port helps the user locate the ATM and establish a total access link.
