Patent CA-2577199-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LOBERG BARRIE A
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2005-08-17
Abstract: A software program for use in designing interior and exterior spaces receives user input that is associated with one or more attributes. After receiving a different user input that changes at least one of an initial or subsequent attributes automatically displaying the initial and subsequent user input as originally received. Design choices that conflict with prior design choices are resolved to ensure that each of the prior and present user input choices are represented in an appropriate way. The resolution by the design software is also used to create an accurate parts (and/or price) list so that when the user has completed the design of an exterior or interior space, the design can be submitted directly as an order to be fulfilled. Generally, continual resolution ensures that the user's design intent is captured in an accurate and efficient way in a user interface.

Abstract: A method and system for managing operation streams for multiple memory devices is presented. The method determines cross-dependencies among multiple operations and uses the cross-dependencies to optimize the execution of the operations. Also presented is a method of synchronizing memory devices with little adverse effects on system operations. The method entails sampling the objects in a predetermined order. Since the system is in normal use while the sampling is happening, an operation is received to be performed on at least one target object.' A state of the target object is determined. If the target object is in a revising state, revision is performed on the second storage system and the operation is applied to the target object but its application to the second memory device is deferred until the target object is in its final state.
