A method and apparatus for meeting integration for scheduling and message application are disclosed. The method includes: inserting a reminder entry into an inbox of a messaging portion of an application, the reminder entry to indicate an upcoming occurrence of an event scheduled in a scheduling portion of the application; and persisting the reminder entry in the inbox for a predetermined amount of time including throughout a duration of the event. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Meeting integration for a messaging and scheduling application

An image (e.g., a sprite) having at least three textures is compressed by generating a map which represents boundaries separating regions in the image, and generating pointers that associate each of the regions with one of the textures. The resulting data structure may be used in decompressing the image.

Bitmap image compressing

A user interface for a data processing device is described comprising: an input wheel rotatably mounted to the data processing device and configured to generate input signals to the data processing device when rotated or clicked down, wherein clicking and holding down the input wheel for less than a threshold amount of time causes a first function to be executed by the data processing device, and wherein clicking and holding down the input wheel for greater than the threshold amount of time causes a second function to be executed by the data processing device.

User interface for a data processing apparatus

In general, in one aspect, the invention features a system for operating the computer in any of at least two different interactive modes, along with a switch having at least two states. An access control device allows a user to change the state of the switch, for changing which interactive mode is currently active.

Computer resource regulation

An interactive apparatus for use with a computer, comprising a transceiver for two-way wireless communication with a plaything, the transceiver having terminals for connection to the computer, and a control device for causing the computer to send and receive information to and from the plaything via the transceiver to enable the plaything to provide interactive fantasy simulation of the behavior of a corresponding real-world object. In another aspect, the invention provides a method for enabling fantasy play using a computer and a plaything, comprising at the plaything, delivering output and receiving input associated with the fantasy play, and generating control signals at the computer for controlling the output based on the input, and by wireless communication sending the control signals from the computer to the plaything and sending the input from the plaything to the computer.

Interactive play with a computer

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining a positional guideline, such as a baseline or ascender line, of handwritten data. This positional guideline allows for accurate positioning of the data on a computer display. It is calculated by counting the number of pixels per horizontal row in the block of data. These counts of pixels per row are then filtered using a wide moving average. The filtered rows of pixels are then analyzed per row to determine the positional guideline for the given block of handwritten data.
