`Now that you're sure your father's coming, you can
`really look forward to his visit. In fact, you can use an-
`other datebook feature to reflect the excitement. If you
`open the appointment again and then tap alarm+ one
`more time, you can use the appointment priority feature
`to tell Magic Cap that this appointment is very important
`by giving it high priority. When you save the appoint-
`ment, the week and month views still show it listed as
`any other multi-day item, drawing a line from the start
`date through the end date, but in the day view the
`datebook reminds you that his visit has high priority by
`stamping the appointment with an exclamation point.
`He'd be really pleased with that.
`
`Customizing with Rules
`
`As mentioned earlier, the standard signals for ap-
`pointments are the alarm sound and an announcement
`that stays open until you close it, but you can customize
`this behavior by using the datebook rules. You can choose
`to have both the sound and the announcement, or just one
`or the other. If you don't like the alarm sound, you can
`replace it with another sound that you're more fond of.
`As you might recall, there are different rules for each
`scene, so make sure the datebook is open when you want
`to change its rules. After you open the datebook, tap the
`lamp, then rules. When you tap there, you'll see the first
`three rules that the datebook lets you set, as pictured in
`Figure 4-19. By tapping in the box or circle at the left, you
`can turn each rule on or off. The first two rules determine
`what will happen when an appointment alarm goes off.

`
`The on-screen announcement is a great reminder for
`people who are easily startled, or for anyone who spends
`a lot of time in meetings or libraries. If you're more the
`aural type, you can use a sound to remind you instead of
`(or in addition to) the announcement. To turn the sound
`alarm off, just tap the check box at the start of rule 1,
`Remind about appointments by playing the alarm sound.
`When the check mark goes away, the rule is turned off,
`and you won't hear a sound to remind you about appoint-
`ments.
`Now, when an appointment alarm goes off, you'll get
`an announcement in a box on the screen. Even if the
`communicator is turned off, it'll come back on to display
`the reminder, and the announcement will stay there until
`you close it, which helps to make sure you don't miss it.
`There are two kinds of rules in the datebook, those
`with circle check boxes and those with squares. The rules
`with circle check boxes are simply turned on or off; you
`can't customize them any further. The rules with square

`
`Summary
`
`The datebook is the place to tell Magic Cap about
`your appointments, and if necessary, have Magic Cap
`help you tell everyone else who needs to know. There are
`several built-in kinds of appointments to choose from.
`You can note birthdays that will automatically repeat ev-
`ery year, even though they're only entered once. Busi-
`ness trips can be scheduled across several days with a
`single entry, and personal notes are easily attached that
`stay with the appointment throughout its duration. Magic
`Cap can help schedule a meeting, and while you're en-
`tering that appointment, the touch of a button automati-
`cally creates and sends an invitation to the meeting's
`participants.
`Your datebook becomes a gentle reminder of things
`you need to do, moving tasks from day to day until you
`complete them. You can even design your own type of
`appointment, reducing the amount of time spent enter-
`ing the same event, like ball games or concerts.
`There are various lists included in the datebook that
`cut down on typing because you can choose anything
`from the lists with just a touch. There are descriptions of
`the kind of appointments you can make, from serious
`(staff meeting) to light-hearted (hot date). There is a list
`of locations to choose from, ranging from school to secret
`hiding place. The datebook remembers everything you
`add, so the next time you want to schedule your acu-
`puncture appointment, or enter the name of your favorite
`Chinese restaurant, it will be added to the lists of de-
`scriptions for you to choose from.
`When choosing the participants of an event, the
`datebook displays the names in your name file, and even
`gives you the opportunity to add a new card for a new
`contact while entering that appointment. An appoint-
`ment can tag along on an invitation to a meeting, and if
`
`111

`

`
`
`
`the invitee responds positively, it will deposit itself in the
`invitee's Magic Cap datebook.
`You can customize each event with notes. You can
`give an appointment instructions to repeat itself at cer-
`tain intervals, and you can ask your datebook to remind
`you about the appointment with a sound or announce-
`ment.
`Like the rest of Magic Cap, the datebook is designed
`to reflect the way you live and work. While you're at
`work, you might need to remind yourself to stop at the
`video store on the way home to pick up one of the movies
`little Zuzu wants to see. When you're at home, you'll
`need a place to write down the date of the big communi-
`cation meeting at work, as well as some ideas about what
`to include in your presentation. The datebook works with
`the rest of Magic Cap to help you run your life.

`Chapter 5
`~ Name Cards
`
`Keeping In Touch with Everyone
`I'm usually pretty good at remembering the birth-
`days of family members and friends, especially when they
`happen to be on otherwise memorable days, like Decem-
`ber 7 or April 1. I'm also good at remembering to buy
`birthday cards for friends early enough to mail them to
`arrive on time. If I were really together, I'd also remember
`to jot down my friends' addresses before I went to the
`card store so that I could buy them and mail them all in
`one trip. But by the time I get home, write out the card,
`get the address, and mail it, I usually need a belated
`birthday card. I've never been able to get in the habit of
`carrying an address book around with me all the time.
`Magic Cap's name file lets you have all the addresses you
`need (even if it's only once a year) right there with you all
`the time, neatly tucked inside a communicator that you'll
`be carrying around with you anyway.
`The name file gives you a place to list lots of names,
`addresses, and telephone numbers that you can look up
`whenever you need to use them. Magic Cap itself also
`uses the name file to hold the details of how to make
`electronic contact with people, companies, and services.
`When you address an electronic mail message or a fax to
`someone with your communicator, you choose the re-
`cipient from the name file.
`
`113
`
`Page 132 of 272
`
`Petitioner Microsoft Corporation - Ex. 1008, p. 4958
`
`
`
`Even without considering electronic mail, the name
`file is a versatile address book. It has room for the names
`and addresses of all the important people in your life, and
`it is powerful enough to replace your paper address books
`(it seems that many people have more than one). The
`name file doesn't have cute pictures of cats on it like a
`paper address book might, but Magic Cap's personaliz-
`ing features probably make up for that.
`The name file can have cards for people you work with,
`people your spouse works with who you might need to
`be in touch with, companies that you do business with,
`or information service providers that send you stuff via
`electronic mail. The name file is flexible enough to hold
`many addresses, telephone numbers, and electronic mail
`addresses on every card.
`
`Communicating
`
`Remember that the information in the name file isn't
`just for you; your communicator uses the name cards to
`know how to reach your contacts electronically. You can
`use your communicator to get in touch with just about
`anyone in the name file, whether that person has a Magic
`Cap communicator, a traditional electronic mail address,
`a fax machine, or just a telephone.
`The name file can automatically dial telephone num-
`bers for you. All you have to do is find the card for an
`associate, hold the communicator next to the telephone's
`mouthpiece, and then tap a telephone number on the
`name card. Magic Cap will dial the number for you (this
`trick doesn't work with all Magic Cap communicators
`and all telephones). Your child can borrow your commu-
`nicator to write a thank-you note to his grandmother for a
`birthday present; because you convinced her to buy a
`communicator, the note gets delivered quickly with elec-
`tronic mail.

`
`
`
`Entering Name Cards
`
`One of the first things you'll want to do with a new
`communicator is fill up the name file with the names of
`your co-workers, associates, and friends. After all, it's not
`a very personal communicator without them. Let's start
`by adding a name card for our co-worker Susan Anthony.
`To start entering her new card, tap the name file on the
`desk. The name file zooms open and shows you the card
`for the last contact you made. When you tap new, you'll
`get to choose whether to make a new card for a person,
`company, group, or information service (Figure 5-1).
`
`FIGURE 5-1. Window offers choices to make a new card
`
`When you choose person, a blank card for the new
`person is made; a window to enter the first and last names
`appears; and the on-screen keyboard automatically opens,
`ready for you to start typing a first name. As you type the
`first two letters, S u, Magic Cap guesses that you're
`
`115
`
`Page 134 of 272
`
`Petitioner Microsoft Corporation - Ex. 1008, p. 4960
`
`
`
`typing Susan and automatically completes the word for
`you. Tap last name, then type Anthony, then done to
`finish entering the name.
`
`Q Sweating the Details. Because entering names is one
`of the most common and tedious tasks you'll have to do
`with your communicator, Magic Cap's designers spent a
`lot of time making it as fast and convenient as possible.
`When you're entering a name card, lots of things happen
`to make your life easier. Some of them are so subtle that
`you may not even notice.
`First, when you begin to enter the name, the box for
`First name already has a typing point in it, and the on-
`screen keyboard is already open, sparing you from
`having to worry about those two details. Next, you might
`notice that the keyboard is already shifted to uppercase
`for starting the name, the way most people like it. It'll
`switch back to lower case after typing the first letter.
`Typing with the on-screen keyboard has been de-
`signed to feel comfortable and fast. The keys feel very
`responsive, working right away when you touch them
`and sounding a satisfying snap that suggests an electric
`typewriter.
`Another touch for making typing convenient is auto-
`matic completion of words. As you might remember from
`Chapter 3, Magic Cap keeps lists of common words in
`various categories, such as first names, last names,
`cities, ZIP codes, and more. As you enter information,
`Magic Cap checks to see if your entry looks like one it
`already knows about. For example, as you enter the first
`two letters of Susan, Magic Cap sees that its list of first
`names contains only one entry that starts with S u, so it
`guesses Susanfor the whole name but keeps the rest of
`the letters selected. If you're really typing Sunshine or
`
`116
`
`Page 135 of 272
`
`Petitioner Microsoft Corporation - Ex. 1008, p. 4961
`
`
`
`you don't even notice that it's guessed and you keep
`typing the rest of Susan, Magic Cap's guessing won't get
`in your way as you continue typing. The letters you type
`will simply replace the letters it guessed.
`As you enter new words, they're automatically added
`to the list of words that Magic Cap will guess when
`you're typing. You can get finer control over the words by
`looking at the Word Lists book in the library. See Chapter
`9 for more information on using the Word Lists book to
`customize your words.
`In addition to automatically completing words, Magic
`Cap knows about a couple of other things that can speed
`up your entries. If you're entering someone's work
`address and Magic Cap already knows the address for
`the person's company, it will guess that address so you
`don't have to type it. If you enter a city that it's already
`seen, it will try to guess the ZIP code. If you enter a two-
`letter state abbreviation but forget to capitalize the
`second letter, it will remember for you. Ittries very, very
`hard.
`
`After you tap done, the new card appears with places
`to add work and home addresses, work phone, work fax,
`and home phone (see Figure 5-2). You can add even more
`stuff by opening the stamper and getting stamps for other
`addresses and phone numbers-the name file will even
`accommodate your gadget-happy friend who has ten dif-
`ferent phones. We'll look into that a little later.

`
`It Can Be Taught
`
`In its efforts to help you enter information as quickly
`and easily as possible, Magic Cap picks up a few tricks
`as it goes along. Let's say we're now ready to enter Su-
`san Anthony's husband, Mark. Tap new, then person,
`then start entering his name: first M a r k, then the last
`name. A n is as far as you get when Magic Cap guesses
`that the last name is going to be Anthony and fills in the
`rest for you. Of course, it learned the name Anthony from
`your previous entry and suggested it here to try to save
`typing. In this case, it guessed right, so you can just tap
`the done button and Mark Anthony is entered.
`What if Magic Cap guesses wrong and suggests a word
`that's not what you want? You can find out by entering
`another person, Hans Anderson, to the name file. Tap
`new, and then person to start entering the new name
`

`
`
`
`card. Typing H a n s is uneventful; this seems to be the
`first time Magic Cap has heard of that uncommon name.
`But when you type A n to start the last name, Magic Cap
`guesses Anthony, as usual (see Figure 5-3).

`
`FIGURE 5-3. Magic Cap guesses for automatic completion
`
`What do you have to do to correct this wrong guess?
`Nothing at all. As you type the next letter, the d appears
`and the rest of the wrong guess vanishes. You continue
`typing the rest of the name: e r s o n, then tap done.
`Magic Cap makes the new name card and learns a new
`last name, Anderson.
`The next time you enter a last name that starts with
`An, Magic Cap won't make a guess at all. Instead, it will
`wait for the third letter of the last name. If you type a t, it
`will guess Anthony, and if you enter a d, it will guess
`Anderson. If you enter another letter entirely, it won't
`guess at all, but it will learn a new name for future guesses.
`To make better guesses, Magic Cap keeps track of
`words in several different categories and only guesses
`
`119
`
`Page 138 of 272
`
`Petitioner Microsoft Corporation - Ex. 1008, p. 4964
`
`
`
`them where appropriate. For example, it will never guess
`a last name when a job title is requested. Magic Cap
`comes from the factory with lists of common words in
`such categories as cities, job titles, and names (first and
`last). As you enter more name cards, the lists build. You
`can see and change the lists by looking at the Word Lists
`book in the library; there's more about that in Chapter 9.
`
`Adding Addresses and Telephone Numbers
`
`When you enter a new person, Magic Cap provides
`spaces for home and work addresses and home, work,
`and work fax telephones. Now you can fill in some of
`those addresses and phone numbers on Hans Anderson's
`name card.
`Tap work address; the keyboard appears automatically,
`as usual, and you can type in a job title, company name,
`address, city, state, and ZIP. As you type each item, Magic
`Cap is working to make it easier for you by shifting the
`keyboard to uppercase when it thinks that's the right
`thing to do, guessing the rest of words you're typing, and
`doing other tricks to try to reduce the amount of typing
`you have to do.
`To enter a phone number, tap work phone. As the
`keyboard and the entry window appear, Magic Cap has
`already suggested an area code. If it's the wrong one, you
`can just replace it. When you enter phone numbers, you
`don't have to bother with niceties such as parentheses
`around the area code or a hyphen after the first three
`digits of the number; Magic Cap will format the number
`for you. You can even use the mnemonic letters that ap-
`pear on a phone dial next to the numbers, so when you
`enter 555-RIBS, the phone number of your favorite source
`of charred mammal flesh, Magic Cap will understand that
`you mean 555-7427. Figure 5-4 shows Hans Anderson's
`card with his address and phone number entered.

`In working to make Magic Cap as

`useful and magical as possible, Magic Cap's designers
`
`tried to think of everything that people would do with
`their communicators. One interesting problem arose
`when entering name cards for people with only one
`name, like Madonna (and certainly she would be in lots
`of name files). Because these folks had no last name,
`they were filed incorrectly. The Magic Cap team noticed
`the problem and fixed it, and now single-name people
`are filed correctly-Madonna shows up after Chris
`MacAskill and before Julie Madsen, rightwhere she
`belongs. The Magic Cap team referred to this problem as
`the Cher bug.

`
`
`If you fill in all the addresses and phone numbers pro-
`vided and you need some more, you can add them easily
`at any time. To add them, tap the stamper that's always
`on the bottom of the screen and you'll see lots of different
`kinds of phones and addresses to choose from, including
`fax number, pager, cellular phone, and work address (see
`Figure 5-5). If you want to add an address or phone that
`you don't see, you can use the other items and type in
`your own description.

`Each time you add an item from the stamp drawer, the
`image hops onto the card and zooms open for your typ-
`ing. Let's say you want to add a cellular phone number
`for Hans Anderson. Tap the stamper, the phones drawer,
`and then the cellular stamp. The little phone leaps onto
`the name card, the keyboard appears, and a window opens
`

`
`Page 141 of 272

`
`
`
`with a place for you to type the phone number. When you
`tap done, the window closes and the phone number has
`been added to Hans's card.
`You can continue to add new people to your name file.
`The more names you enter, the smarter Magic Cap gets
`about guessing words. This works especially well when
`you're adding members of your family (you'll really love it
`if you have a long last name and lots of brothers and
`sisters).
`
`Name Card Commands
`
`Like many Magic Cap scenes, the right side of the
`screen is filled with buttons that activate various com-
`mands. We've already worked through the first (and most
`important) command, new. The rest are change, log, get
`info, and ciscard.
`After you enter a name card's initial information, you
`know that it's only a matter of time before something
`changes, whether it's a new phone number or address,
`or a whole new last name for a friend who just got mar-
`ried. To avoid changing something inadvertently, you
`have to tap change before typing in a change to any
`information on a card that's already been completed.
`While you're changing information, the items on the name
`card are drawn with boxes around them (see Figure 5-6).
`When you're done changing a card, tap change to lock it
`up again. If you're just adding information, such as an
`additional phone number, you don't have to tap change
`first. While you're changing, you can also throw away
`any information on the name card.

`the tote bag and dropping it on Louis's card. The option
`key makes sure that there's still a copy of the address in
`the bag.
`Next, move to Jennifer's card and slide the address
`out of the tote bag and onto her card. You can repeatthis
`process for their phone number. This trick lets you type
`their home and work information only once, and then
`copy itto use on separate name cards.

`The log button lets you see a record of communication
`with someone. When you tap log, you'll see a list of the
`times you contacted the person or company on that name
`card. The get info button asks PersonaLink to try to find a
`name in its directory. If PersonaLink succeeds in finding
`the person, you'll get a certified name card for your name
`file.
`The last button on the right is discard, which lets you
`get rid of the name card you're looking at. After you con-
`firm that that's what you really want to do, Magic Cap
`folds up the card and tosses it into the trash.
`
`Looking at Name Cards
`
`While browsing through the name file, you can see
`several different views of name cards, all designed to look
`like they came from printed address books. The name file
`highlights the alphabetical tab with the appropriate let-
`ter pair at the top of the screen (for Hans Anderson, that's
`A B). You can also see how many cards are in the file and
`which card is showing, as well as left and right arrows to
`move forward and backward through the file.
`If you want to see the names you have for any two-
`letter tab, you can tap right on the tab to go to that index
`card. When you do, you'll see a lined index card with a
`list of names beginning with A and B, as in Figure 5-7.
`There's also a power user shortcut: If you hold down the
`option key while tapping on a tab, you skip past the
`index card for that tab and go straight to the first card of
`the second letter listed. If there are no entries for the
`second letter of the pair, you'll just see the index card. So,
`if you option-tap on the A B tab, you'll see the first name
`card that falls under B, if there is one.

`
`Index view of name cards
`
`When you're looking at an index card, you can open
`any individual card by tapping it. When you do that, the
`card you chose will appear. When you're looking at a
`name card, you'll also notice that the appropriate tab is
`highlighted at the top of the screen. In fact, when you tap
`new to make a new card, the name file highlights the 0 P
`tab (for new person, of course) as the card appears. This
`works when entering a card for a company, too, putting
`the company card under M N (new company) until you
`type in the company's name.
`Because you need to alphabetize both people and com-
`panies in the same file, the name file's alphabetizing rules
`work equally well for companies and people (even people
`who only have one name, like Cher and Dad).
`
`Forgiving Users. As Magic Cap was being developed,
`potential users were brought in and asked to try out
`features while video cameras rolled. The development
`team then watched the tapes to see how well the user
`
`e
`

`
`
`interface worked. This experience proved amazingly
`revealing and often painful, as the developers' clever
`designs sometimes delighted, but sometimes missed the
`mark completely, causing the designers to start over and
`try again.
`One interesting problem appeared when users were
`typing in the first and last name for a new person's name
`card. Often, users would type the first and last name on
`the same line in the entry window, separated by a space,
`even though that line clearly says first name. This
`created a horrible situation. Instead of a person whose
`first name is Sergei and last name is Makarov, you'd get
`someone with no last name at all, which would cause the
`card to be misfiled and mess up any addressing to that
`person. How could users be taught not to do this?
`Somebody had a better idea. Instead of requiring
`users to be taught something, they taught Magic Cap to
`see if two names were entered in the first name box and
`none in the last name box. If so, Magic Cap assumes that
`the user just typed the whole name at once and takes
`what the user typed and divides it into first and last
`names. This feature is so subtle that most users who run
`into it will probably not even notice that it's happened,
`but they'd surely notice if it didn't work right.
`
`Current Contact
`
`Magic Cap remembers the name from the last name
`card you see and keeps track of it as the current contact.
`Right now, the current contact is our old friend Hans
`Anderson, because we're still looking at his card. When
`you close the name file to go to another scene, Magic
`Cap remembers the card you were looking at. The next
`time you want to send a message or a fax, or make a

`want the current contact to get the message, as Figure
`5-8 shows when a new message is created.

`FIGURE 5-8. Current contact shown in new message name
`chooser
`
`If you don't want to use the current contact, you can
`pick any name from the name chooser, of course, but
`Magic Cap guesses that since you just added the name
`to your file, or just got done looking at it, you might want
`to get in touch with that person. If you choose another
`name, the current contact changes to show your new
`preference. If you go to the datebook to schedule an ap-
`pointment, the current contact is highlighted in your
`choices of who. The next time you open the name file,
`you'll see the last card you were looking at when you had
`the name file open, and that card then becomes the cur-
`rent contact.
`Here's an example of how this current contact stuff
`can work even if you're not sending any messages. Let's
`say you get a phone call from Megan Marlowe, inviting
`

`
`
`
`you to a meeting tomorrow to discuss a possible work
`project. You tap the datebook to schedule the meeting.
`Because you haven't entered Megan in your name file
`yet, you can do that without having to close the datebook,
`as shown in Figure 5-9. While looking at the name chooser
`in the datebook, you can tap new (the button even looks
`like a name card) to add her name to your file. Later, after
`you're off the phone and you look in the name file, it
`opens to her card so you can add her address and tele-
`phone information.

`
`How You Get Name Cards
`
`One way to add cards to your name file is to enter
`them directly, but that isn't the only way. As you've seen,
`you can enter new names while you're doing other things
`without having to stop and open the name file. For ex-
`ample, when you're in the datebook, you can schedule
`an appointment and create the name card while making
`
`129
`
`Page 148 of 272
`

`
`
`
`the appointment. The next time you open the name file,
`you'll find a name card for the person or company you
`just added.
`Whenever you get a message from PersonaLink, you'll
`get a name card for the message's sender. If you already
`have a card for the sender, Magic Cap makes sure that
`you've got the latest information about the sender. This
`helps keep your name file up to date as you keep in touch
`with people who send messages to you. After all, this is a
`communicator, not a notepad.
`When you start using Magic Cap, one of the first things
`you do is enter your own name card to personalize your
`communicator. After you type your name, Magic Cap
`adds a certified sash across the bottom-left corner (see
`Figure 5-10), which means the card has "official" infor-
`mation, that is, it's either about the person using the
`communicator (that's you) or it was obtained from some
`official source (usually PersonaLink).
