Adaptive computer display screen window

Claim 2

A computer operated method comprising: ascertaining a window property to be displayed on a computer screen in a default condition during a first operating session; monitoring window property changes prompted by user inputs to effect changes from the default condition of the window, thereby reflecting a user's specific window activity pattern developed over a plurality of operating sessions; creating a referent comprising a history of the window activity pattern; statistically sampling user window activity over said plurality of operating sessions; and using the referent for generating an instant window which has been adaptively modified from the default condition window, wherein an adapted display window is based on statistically sampled user window activity over said plurality of operating sessions.

Claim 3

The method according to claim 1 , wherein said ascertaining a window property comprises ascertaining a status of the default condition by registering at least one of font, color, location, shape and content of the default window.

Claim 4

The method according to claim 1 , wherein said window property changes comprise changes prompted by the user throughout said plurality of operating sessions.

Claim 5

A program storage device readable by machine, and tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for providing an adaptive window display, the method comprising: ascertaining a window property to be displayed on a computer screen in a default condition during a first operating session; monitoring window property changes prompted by user inputs to effect changes from the default condition of the window to reflect a user's specific window activity pattern developed over a plurality of operating sessions; creating a referent comprising a history of the window activity pattern; statistically sampling user window activity over said plurality of operating sessions; and using the referent for generating an instant window which has been adaptively modified from the default condition window, wherein an adapted display window is based on statistically sampled user window activity over said plurality of operating sessions.

Claim 6

A program storage device readable by machine, and tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for providing an adaptive window display, the method comprising: ascertaining a window property to be displayed on a computer screen in a default condition during a first operating session; monitoring window property changes prompted by user inputs to effect changes from the default condition of the window to reflect a user's specific window activity pattern developed over a plurality of operating sessions; creating a referent comprising a history of the window activity pattern; statistically sampling user window activity over said plurality of operating sessions; and using the referent for generating an instant window which has been adaptively modified from the default condition window, wherein an adapted display window is based on statistically sampled user window activity over said plurality of operating sessions.

Claim 7

A computer system suitable for providing an adaptive computer screen window display, the system comprising: CPU means for ascertaining a window property to be displayed on a computer screen in a default condition during a first operating session; CPU means for monitoring window property changes prompted by user inputs to effect changes from the default condition of the window to reflect a user's specific window activity pattern developed over a plurality of operating sessions; CPU means for creating a referent comprising a history of the window activity pattern; statistically sampling user window activity over said plurality of operating sessions; and CPU means for using the referent for generating an instant window which has been adaptively modified from the default condition window, wherein an adapted display window is based on statistically sampled user window activity over said plurality of operating sessions.

Claim 8

A computer system suitable for providing an adaptive computer screen window display, the system comprising: CPU means for ascertaining a window property to be displayed on a computer screen in a default condition during a first operating session; CPU means for monitoring window property changes prompted by user inputs to effect changes from the default condition of the window to reflect a user's specific window activity pattern developed over a plurality of operating sessions; CPU means for creating a referent comprising a history of the window activity pattern; statistically sampling user window activity over said plurality of operating sessions; and CPU means for using the referent for generating an instant window which has been adaptively modified from the default condition window, wherein an adapted display window is based on statistically sampled user window activity over said plurality of operating sessions.

Claim 9

A computer system comprising: an open loop structure comprising: a default screen node; a summing node; a first input vector derived from the default screen node for input to the summing node and comprising a computer display default screen from a preceding operating session; a second input vector to the summing node comprising a user generated display screen for input to the summing node during a current operating session, the summing node capable of receiving said first and second input vectors and outputting a first signal; and a display processing module which receives the first signal and outputs a resultant display screen; and a closed loop structure comprising a feedback loop which closes around the open loop structure by: sensing changes in a current display; remembering a history of resultant changes developed over a plurality of operating sessions; statistically sampling user changes over said plurality of operating sessions; and generating a display screen which is correlated to the history of changes for outputting to the default screen node a new default screen for presentation upon instantiation of a subsequent operating session, wherein said new default screen is based on statistically sampled user changes over said plurality of operating sessions.

Claim 10

A computer system comprising: an open loop structure comprising: a default screen node; a summing node; a first input vector derived from the default screen node for input to the summing node and comprising a computer display default screen from a preceding operating session; a second input vector to the summing node comprising a user generated display screen for input to the summing node during a current operating session, the summing node capable of receiving said first and second input vectors and outputting a first signal; and a display processing module which receives the first signal and outputs a resultant display screen; and a closed loop structure comprising a feedback loop which closes around the open loop structure by: sensing changes in a current display; remembering a history of resultant changes developed over a plurality of operating sessions; statistically sampling user changes over said plurality of operating sessions; and generating a display screen which is correlated to the history of changes for outputting to the default screen node a new default screen for presentation upon instantiation of a subsequent operating session, wherein said new default screen is based on statistically sampled user changes over said plurality of operating sessions.

Claim 13

The method according to claim 7 , wherein said window property comprises a window layout of said display screen.

Claim 14

The method according to claim 7 , wherein said detecting is performed at predetermined time intervals.

Claim 15

The method according to claim 7 , wherein said window property comprises the size of an image on said display screen.

Claim 16

The method according to claim 7 , wherein said window property comprises the location of an image on said display screen.

Claim 17

The method according to claim 7 , wherein said adapted display screen comprises a user preferred display screen.

Claim 18

The method according to claim 7 , wherein only said user changes having a measure greater than a user-selected threshold are used to alter said display screen.

Claim 19

The method according to claim 7 , wherein said altering said display screen comprises automatically altering said display screen.
