Intra-encapsulation intelligent searching of an object
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A functional encoding for operating on one or more objects of an encapsulation provided over a network, the functional encoding comprising:
- an input accumulation encoding operable to accumulate an input sequence; and
an input location encoding operable to determine if a member of an object includes the accumulated input sequence, wherein the input location encoding operates within the encapsulation; and
a selection encoding operable to supply an indication of a member of an object if the member includes an input sequence accumulated by the input accumulation encoding, wherein the functional encoding is in accordance with a specification for hyperobject presentation and hyperobject input handling.

Abstract
A functional encoding is operable to perform intelligent searching of an encapsulated object (e.g., a select object, an input object, a table object, a graphic object, etc.) with an accumulated sequence of input elements. The functional encoding accumulates the sequence of input elements and searches the encapsulated object for a member that includes the sequence of input elements. If a keystroke delay time period expires, then the accumulated sequence of input elements is discarded for the next sequence of input elements.

- 26. A web page control that, upon evaluation thereof, locates a web page object member that includes a user provided sequence, wherein the locating refines evaluation of the web page object against the user provided sequence as successive elements of the user provided sequence are accumulated, and that supplies indication of the object member that includes the user provided sequence.
- 46. A web page that searches an object with an input sequence of elements accumulated within a period of time and that selects an object member that includes the accumulated input sequence, wherein the web page encapsulates at least the object.
