User Interface Including An Element For Selecting Customization Or Help Screens
US Patent:
7865837, Jan 4, 2011
Filed:
Jul 28, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/494910
Inventors:
Gerald B. Huff - Berkeley CA, US
Roy Goldman - Cupertino CA, US
Craig Carlson - Los Altos CA, US
Roy Goldman - Cupertino CA, US
Craig Carlson - Los Altos CA, US
Assignee:
Intuit Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G06F 3/048
US Classification:
715781, 715811
Abstract:
A software application displays user interfaces for functionality of the software application. A user interface element is displayed on a user interface for the software application. A configuration screen for user configuration of the software application is displayed in response to a user command indicating selection of said user interface element. The configuration screen includes content corresponding to a state of the software application when the user command is received. The configuration screen may include content based on entered data in the user interface or on a data entry point of the user at the time of selecting the user interface element. The user interface element is displayed in a location on a plurality of user interface screens that is substantially identical for each screen. The configuration screen may include user preferences.
Battery Capacity Estimating Method And Apparatus
US Patent:

International Classification:
H02J 7/00, G01N 27/416
US Classification:
320132, 324427, 324429
Abstract:
A method for accurately estimating battery capacity based on a weighting function is provided. The disclosed system monitors battery current and uses the monitored battery current to calculate the state of charge (SOCbyAh) of the battery. The system also measures the open circuit voltage (OCV) of the battery when the system is at rest, rest being determined by achieving a current of less than a preset current value for a period of time greater than a preset time period. The state of charge of the battery is calculated from the OCV (SOCbyOCV). The weighting function is based on ΔSOCbyAh and ΔSOCbyOCV, where ΔSOCbyAh is equal to SOCbyAhminus SOCbyAh, and where ΔSOCbyOCV is equal to SOCbyOCVminus SOCbyOCV. The weighting function also takes into account the errors associated with determining SOCbyAh and SOCbyOCV.
