An interactive computer system with plural displays includes a first computer, having an input device and an output including a display and a second computer having an output including display coupled to the first computer. A voice recorder is provided to create an icon representing a recorded voice, and the icon is displayed on the display of the first computer. The input device of the first computer, which may be a mouse, is adapted to drag the icon from the display of the first computer to the display of the second computer, and to reproduce the recorded voice in response to a pointer displayed on the displays and controlled by the input device.

Interactive control system having plural displays, and a method thereof

In a remote operation monitoring system and the like, it is a video processing apparatus capable of intuitively grasping an object operated by an operator and an operation result. The video processing apparatus includes a unit () for storing information about at least one object displayed on a screen of a display unit; a unit () for designating information about the object; a unit () for searching the store unit based upon the designated information, and for obtaining information within the store unit corresponding to the designated information; and also a unit () for performing a process related to the object based on the obtained information. An operator can readily grasp an object to be operated and a result.

An image display includes whole image display for displaying an area viewed by a certain camera, a camera position detecting using for detecting a place which the camera is viewing and camera position display unit for specifying the area that the camera displays on the whole image on the basis of the camera position acquired by the above camera position detecting unit. A user recognizes the place in the whole image that he is watching and does not lose his location when he pans or zooms the camera.

In a remote operation monitoring system and the like, it is a video processing apparatus capable of intuitively grasping an object operated by an operator and an operation result. The video processing apparatus includes a unit ( ) for storing information about at least one object displayed on a screen of a display unit; a unit ( ) for designating information about the object; a unit ( ) for searching the store unit based upon the designated information, and for obtaining information within the store unit corresponding to the designated information; and also a unit ( ) for performing a process related to the object based on the obtained information. An operator can readily grasp an object to be operated and a result.

A video data display controlling method and system in which an image in each image area or in each partial image area of each image area to be displayed on a display screen and designated by a user is displayed at a display quality differentiated from other areas not designated. A video data display control unit stores display state data of each displayed image in a display state management table. The video data display control unit changes the display specification or attribute of each image so as to display an image having a high user interest degree with a high display quality and display an image having a low user interest with a low display quality, and transfers the changed display specification to a display specification management table of a video data input unit. A video data input unit controls a video data compressing unit to compress digital video data in accordance with the changed display specification or attribute.

An apparatus and a method of screen display whereby either a plurality of screens or a plurality of windows on a single screen are displayed. On at least one screen or in at least one window, areas representing either the other screens or the other windows are displayed. When a pointer pointing to a given position either on that one screen or in that one window is used to select any one of these areas therein, the pointer is made to appear either on another screen or in another window corresponding to the selected area.

Apparatus and method for screen display

The present application invention relates to a method for restarting execution of an instruction interrupted due to a page fault. When a page fault occurs during an execution of an instruction, the pertinent page is loaded from an external storage into the main memory and then the access which has caused the page fault is executed again. After N steps of the microprogram that has executed the page fault access, the page fault exception processing is initiated and at the save/restore operation of the content of the microprogram counter, the content of the microprogram is decremented by N, thereby restarting the execution of the instruction beginning from the step of the microprogram which has achieved the page fault access.

Method for restarting execution interrupted due to page fault in a data

Method and apparatus for controlling interruption of a processor. When an external interrupt request having a higher priority level than a current program level is detected in the course of the execution of an instruction, the processing is interrupted and an interexecution interruption is issued. The program level is fixed in this interruption so that the interrupt request is processed as a normal interrupt request at an interruption destination, and the processing is resumed from the interrupted point at a second return instruction after the interrupt processing.
