TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided methods of handling stored electronic original objects that have been created by signing information objects by respective transfer agents, submitting signed information objects to a trusted custodial utility, and validating the submitted signed objects by at least testing the integrity of the contents of each signed information object and the validity of the signature of the respective transfer agent.
Abstract: Digital signatures are not valid indefinitely but only during the validity periods of their authentication certificates, which themselves are not indefinite but typically expire in order to limit the chances for compromise of the digital signatures. This poses a problem for electronic information objects that are intended to have legal weight for periods longer than the remaining validity period of a signature. There are thus provided methods of handling stored electronic original objects that have been created by signing information objects by respective transfer agents, submitting signed information objects to a trusted custodial utility, validating the submitted signed information objects by at least testing the integrity of the contents of each signed information object and the validity of the signature of the respective transfer agent, and applying to each validated information object a date-time stamp and a digital signature and authentication certificate of the trusted custodial utility. One method includes re-validating an electronic original object by verifying the digital signature of the trusted custodial utility applied to the object and applying to the re-validated object a current date-time stamp and a digital signature and current authentication certificate of the trusted custodial utility. Another method includes the step of creating an object-inventory from at least one stored electronic original object, where the object-inventory includes an object identifier and a signature block for each object from which the object-inventory is created. A date-time stamp and a digital signature and authentication certificate of the trusted custodial utility is applied to the object-inventory. Other methods involve handling information objects that are transferable records according to specified business rules, which avoids problems that can arise if copies of the transferable records can be mistaken for originals.

31 Aug 1999TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for implementing an association of business objects without retrieving said objects from a database on which they are stored is presented, where a business object in the business cache is provided and an instance of an associated object is stored on a database.
Abstract: A system and method for implementing an association of business objects without retrieving said objects from a database on which they are stored. A business object in the business cache is provided and an instance of an associated object is stored on a database. An association of the business object with the instance of the associated object is determined. An object identifier is generated containing information including the determination association which is necessary to retrieve the instance of the associated object from the database, wherein the object identifier includes a unique row identifier, an identifier generated by a utility, and a unique string generated from one or more attributes. The object identifier is loaded when the business object starts. A location of the instance of the associated object on the database is determined from the object identifier and the instance of the associated object is retrieved from the database.

5 Jun 1995TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus for enhancing computer-user selection of computer-displayed objects reduces required cursor travel distance to an object by increasing the effective object selection area without enlarging the displayed size of either the object symbology or cursor.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for enhancing computer-user selection of computer-displayed objects reduces required cursor travel distance to an object by increasing the effective object selection area without enlarging the displayed size of either the object symbology or cursor. This is done through the constant computation of a "selectable" cursor target, which is the object closest to the current cursor position on a computer-display. The distance to all display symbols is computed in real-time as a cursor is moved. The system identifies the "selectable" object by providing a visual indication to the computer-user of the closest object to the cursor before a computer-user selection action is made. A computer-user selection confirmation action, such as the depressing of a mouse switch, erases the "selectable" object identifier and displays a visual indication that the object is a "selected" object. Object selection speed and accuracy is improved by the application of the invention.

29 Aug 1991TL;DR: In this paper, a computer network management software agent which includes the ability for users to add new user defined management objects is described. But the agent does not support the creation of new user-defined management objects.
Abstract: A computer network management software agent which includes the ability for users to add new user defined management objects. A user editable text file defines object identifications, object types, and the path and name of associated executable software. A user can then invoke user defined executable software at a managed node by sending a network command and a user defined associated object identifier to the agent in the managed node. Data can be sent between a user and user defined executable software. A timeout feature generates an error if commands are not completed within a user defined time.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authoring and playback modes are used to record audio/text/graphics/video messages and bound them to an object identifier, and the playback mode triggers playback of the recorded messages when the object identifier accessed.
Abstract: A system and method capable of reading machine-readable labels from physical objects (107), reading coordinate labels of geographical locations (108), reading timestamp labels from an internal clock (109), accepting digital text string labels as input obtained directly from a keyboard type input device, or indirectly using a speech-to-text engine transforming any other label type information encoding into digital data by some transduction means, and treating these different labels uniformly as object identifiers for performing various indexing operations such as content object identifiers and their associated content into a single addressable unit called a tour (103). The system can function in an authoring and a playback mode. The authoring mode permits new audio/text/graphics/video messages to be recorded and bound to an object identifier. The playback mode triggers playback of the recorded messages when the object identifier accessed.
