ABSTRACT
`
`Methods and systems are described for binding attributes between visual
`
`components. A first visual component, including a first presentation space for presenting
`
`first data by an operating first application,
`
`is detected. Binding information, for the first
`
`application,
`
`is identified that specifies a mapping between a first visual attribute of the
`
`first visual component and a second visual attribute of a second visual component
`
`including a second presentation space for presenting second data by a second
`
`application. A change to the first visual attribute is detected. In response to the detection
`
`of the change, change information is automatically sent to change the second visual
`
`attribute according to the mapping.

`between a first visual attribute of the first visual component and a second visual attribute
`
`of a second visual component including a second presentation space for presenting
`
`second data by a second application;
`
`detecting a first change to the first visual attribute; and
`
`in response to detecting the first change, automatically sending change
`
`information to change the second visual attribute according to the mapping.
`
`comprises:
`
`a communication for presenting the first visual component, and receiving a message via
`
`2.
`
`The method of claim 1 wherein detecting the first visual component
`
`includes at least one of receiving an indication to present the first visual component,
`
`detecting an access to a resource for presenting the first visual component, intercepting
`
`a network identifying the first visual component.

`the first application and the second application, an output of the first application that is
`
`processed as an input by the second application, and an output of the second
`
`application that is processed as an input by the first application.
`
`6.
`
`The method of claim 1 wherein the binding information is configurable by a
`
`user of at least one of the first application and the second application.
`
`7.
`
`The method of claim 1 wherein at least one of the first visual attribute and
`
`the second visual attribute identifies at least one of a font, a color, a location in a
`
`presentation space, a size, a shape, a measure of time, a z-value, a transparency
`
`attribute, a shading, a pattern, a line thickness, and an attribute of a background.
`
`8.
`
`The method of claim 1 wherein the binding information is identified based
`
`on a first matching criterion that matches at least one of the first visual component and

`
`

`

`9.
`
`The method of claim 1 wherein the binding information includes at least
`
`one of a first application identifier of the first application, a first visual component
`
`identifier of the first visual component, a first attribute identifier of the first visual
`
`attribute, a second application identifier of the second application, a second visual
`
`the second visual attribute.
`
`10. The method of claim 1 wherein the identifying of the binding information
`
`includes detecting the binding information in at least one of the first application and the
`
`second application.
`
`11. The method of claim 1 wherein at least one of the first visual attribute and
`
`the second visual attribute is identified by attribute information received in response to a
`
`component identifier of the second visual component, and a second attribute identifier of
`
`based on the attribute information.
`
`user input.
`
`12. The method of claim 1 wherein identifying the binding information includes
`
`at least one of receiving the binding information from the first application, locating the
`
`binding information based on an attribute of the first application, and receiving a user
`
`input identifying the binding information.
`
`13. The method of claim 1 wherein detecting the first change comprises:
`
`receiving attribute information, for changing the first visual attribute, in response to a
`
`user input corresponding to the first visual component; and detecting the first change

`
`

`

`14. The method of claim 1 wherein detecting the first change includes at least
`
`one of receiving an indication to change the first visual attribute, detecting an access to
`
`a resource for changing the first visual attribute, intercepting a communication for
`
`first visual attribute.
`
`15. The method of claim 14 wherein detecting an access to the resource
`
`includes detecting an access to an output device to change the first visual attribute.
`
`16. The method of claim 14 wherein the resource includes at least one of a
`
`semaphore, a lock, a presentation space, a component of a graphical user interface
`
`subsystem, a component of a graphics subsystem, a display adapter, a display device,

`
`receiving a user input corresponding to the first visual component.
`
`18. The method of claim 1 wherein sending change information comprises:
`
`determining the second visual attribute based on the mapping; and
`
`sending change information to at least one of the second application and a
`
`component external to the second application to change the second visual attribute
`
`based on the determined second visual attribute.
`
`19. A system for binding attributes between visual components, the system

`the USPTO to support a petition or an application.

`USPTO, petitioners/applicants should consider redacting such personal information from the documents before submitting them
`to the USPTO. Petitioner/applicant is advised that the record of a patent application is available to the public after publication
`of the application (unless a non—publication request in compliance with 37 CFR 1.213(a) is made in the application) or issuance
`of a patent. Furthermore, the record from an abandoned application may also be available to the public if the application is
`referenced in a published application or an issued patent (see 37 CFR 1.14). Checks and credit card authorization forms
`PTO-2038 submitted for payment purposes are not retained in the application file and therefore are not publicly available.

`l/we acknowledge the duty to disclose to the United States Patent and Trademark Office all information known to me/us to be
`material to patentability as defined in 37 CFR 1.56,
`including for continuation-in-part applications, material information which
`became available between the filing date of the prior application and the national or PCT International filing date of the
`continuation-in-part application.

`
`All statements made herein of my/our own knowledge are true, all statements made herein on information and belief are
`believed to be true, and further that these statements were made with the knowledge that willful false statements and the like
`are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under 18 U.S.C. 1001, and may jeopardize the validity of the application or any
