Abstract
Abstract An information management system having a hypermedia file that works with the X Window System and Xt Intrinsics is disclosed. The disclosd arrangement generates and uses a hypermedia information management system, which includes a windowing system and, responsive to a set of intrinsics, generates a set of widgets. A hypermedia file, which includes a hierarchical ordering of objects, such as hypermedia lines and hypermedia segments among the hypermedia lines, is generated. A specially encoded function with parameters for defining items sends a file to be included in a window, the location and size of the window in a display of the file, and a label for identifying the generated segment is used for controlling the display of information, whether pictorial, graphic, text, et cetera, or the execution of another program from the hypermedia file. A specially encoded function is also used for notifying a user of information from the hyperfile, the information being correlated to the particular detected one of the specially encoded functions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
65 words
A method for generating and using an information management system, the method including using a windowing system and generating a set of widgets and CHARACTERIZED IN THAT the method further comprises the steps of: responsive to a set of intrinsics, generating a hypermedia file, the file including a hierarchical ordering of objects, the objects including hypermedia lines; and generating hypermedia segments among the hypermedia lines.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
55 words
The method defined in claim 1 wherein the segment generating step comprises the step of: encoding a special function with parameters for defining the file to be included in a window, for defining the location and size of the window in a display of the file, for defining a label for identifying the generated segment.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method defined in claim 2 wherein the segment generating step comprises the step of: generating textual information for display in the window.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method defined in claim 2 wherein the segment generating step comprises the step of: generating pictorial information for display in the window.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
The method defined in claim 1 wherein the segment generating step comprises the step of: encoding a special function with parameters for defining a program to be executed upon selection of the generated segment.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
The method defined in claim 1 further comprising the steps of: responsive to detecting one of a plurality of specially encoded functions, notifying a user of information from the hyperfile, the information being correlated to the particular detected one of the specially encoded functions.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
70 words
A system for generating and using an information management system, the system including means for using a windowing system and means for generating a set of widgets and CHARACTERIZED IN THAT the system further comprises: means, responsive to a set of intrinsics, for generating a hypermedia file, the file including a hierarchical ordering of objects, the objects including hypermedia lines; and means for generating hypermedia segments among the hypermedia lines.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
54 words
The system defined in claim 7 wherein the segment generating means comprises: means for encoding a special function with parameters for defining the file to be included in a window, for defining the location and size of the window in a display of the file, for defining a label for identifying the generated segment.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
23 words
The system defined in claim 8 wherein the segment generating means further comprises: means for generating textual information for display in the window.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
The system defined in claim 8 wherein the segment generating means further comprises: means for generating pictorial information for display in the window.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
33 words
The system defined in claim 7 wherein the segment generating means comprises: means for encoding a special function with parameters for defining a program to be executed upon selection of the generated segment.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
43 words
The system defined in claim 7 further comprising: means, responsive to detecting one of a plurality of specially encoded functions, for notifying a user of information from the hyperfile, the information being correlated to the particular detected one of the specially encoded functions.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
66 words
Apparatus for generating and using an information management system, the apparatus including means for using a windowing system and means for generating a set of widgets and wherein the improvement comprises: means, responsive to a set of intrinsics, for generating a hypermedia file, the file including a hierarchical ordering of objects, the objects including hypermedia lines; and means for generating hypermedia segments among the hypermedia lines.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
54 words
The apparatus defined in claim 13 wherein the segment generating means comprises: means for encoding a special function with parameters for defining the file to be included in a window, for defining the location and size of the window in a display of the file, for defining a label for identifying the generated segment.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
23 words
The apparatus defined in claim 14 wherein the segment generating means further comprises: means for generating textual information for display in the window.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
23 words
The apparatus defined in claim 14 wherein the segment generating means further comprises: means for generating pictorial information for display in the window.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
33 words
The apparatus defined in claim 13 wherein the segment generating means comprises: means for encoding a special function with parameters for defining a program to be executed upon selection of the generated segment.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
43 words
The apparatus defined in claim 13 further comprising: means, responsive to detecting one of a plurality of specially encoded functions, for notifiying a user of information from the hyperfile, the information being correlated to the particular detected one of the specially encoded functions.
