Method for accessing visually obscured data in a multi-tasking system. |
摘要 |
<p>A method is disclosed for accessing visually obscured data in a multi-tasking system having a plurality of applications simultaneously active and displayed in a plurality of viewing ports or "windows" which at least partially overlap. Each window preferably includes a border and an interior including a background and data displayed therein. Individual windows are selected by the user and altered in their display mode attribute to temporarily render the interior or background transparent. This process is repeated until such time as the visually obscured data is visible. Thereafter, the user may return to a second window while retaining any or all of the remaining windows in the modified display attribute mode. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the user may temporarily render the border of any window transparent in the event that border is obscuring the desired data.</p> |
