<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and the like for providing a screen-saver breakthrough by prioritized messages. <P>SOLUTION: If the screen-saver is active in the display, the window manager determines if the alert issuing application and alert type are permitted to breakthrough the screen-saver. If so, an alert notification window identifying the content of the alert is generated and displayed in z-order on top of the screen-saver, without interrupting the operation of the screen-saver displayed underneath. Some notification windows implement security features by displaying only a portion of the content of the corresponding alert or completely obscuring the content of the alert and only notifying of the presence of the alert. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
