Title: Monitoring evacuation of a facility
Inventor: ROTHKOPF STEPHEN JAROS
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2012-09-04
Abstract: A method of monitoring the presence of personnel within a facility (S) and of monitoring the evacuation of the facility is provided. A personnel registration system (2, 2a, 2b, 4) obtains data indicating the presence of a person. An interface computer (6) continuously receives data about people at the facility from a personnel server, and continuously supplies data to a monitoring server (9). A portable device (10a, 10b, 10c) is in data communication with the monitoring server and continuously receives data from the monitoring server. Upon evacuation of the facility, the portable device is taken to a mustering point (A, B, C) outside of the facility, and communicates wirelessly with the monitoring server and continuously receives data from and sends data to the monitoring server. During evacuation of the facility the portable device logs the attendance of people at the mustering point and continuously communicates information to the monitoring server about people logged.

Title: Controlling application launch
Inventor: BELL DAVID ROWLAND
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 2013-10-10
Abstract: The present invention provides a method in a computing device of controlling how an application window of a graphical user interface will open. The method includes the following steps. A time period is defined immediately after an application launch selection action by a user and before the drawing on screen of the application window. During the time period, a gesture input is sensed, and this is then recognised by a gesture recognition engine. The computing device then selects, based on at least one of a type and location of the recognised gesture input, a window location and dimensions which are then used for the window which is then opened. For example a user may launch an application and then use an cursor control device, such as a mouse, trackball or touchpad, to input a gesture at the top right quarter of the screen. This indicates to the computing device that an application window covering the top right quarter of the display screen should be opened. The location of the gesture may relate to predefined window dimensions and locations such as quarter-screen, half-screen or full-screen or double-screen windows. The user may define a set of window sizes and locations.
