System, method and software for displaying visual cues
First Claim
1. A fixed-function processor-based system comprising:
- an input/output interface;
a memory including processor-readable software code configured to permit the processor-based system to perform a fixed-function and processor-readable software code configured to enable the fixed-function processor-based system to prioritize a plurality of visual cues based on a preassigned importance factor associated with a cue event received via the input/output interface;
a processor, the processor being configured to execute the fixed function and to prioritize the plurality of visual cues based on the importance factor; and
a display, the display being configured to display visual cues in a manner based on the importance factor associated with the application task.

Abstract
One embodiment of the invention relates to a system, method and software for displaying visual cues to an end-user based on indicia received from a remote source. More particularly, the present invention relates to displaying visual cues on a display coupled to a fixed function processor. According to one embodiment, the fixed-function processor-based system may include an input/output interface. The fixed-function processor-based system may also include a memory including processor-readable software code configured to permit the processor-based system to perform a fixed-function and processor-readable software code configured to enable the fixed-function processor-based system to prioritize a number of visual cues based on an importance factor associated with the application task. The fixed-function processor-based system may also be configured to execute the fixed function and to prioritize the plurality of visual cues based on the importance factor. Moreover, the fixed-function processor-based system may also include a display, the display being configured to display visual cues in a manner based on the importance factor associated with a cue event received via the input/output interface. Also described are methods for displaying visual cues in fixed-function processor-based systems and processor-readable software code for the same.

12. A method for prioritizing visual cues in a fixed-function processor-based system comprising:
-
executing a first application task;
executing a second application task, the first application task and the second application task being executed such that the execution of the first application task and the second application task coincide with one another;
receiving a cue event associated with an action to be performed using at least one of the first application task and the second application task;
determining an preassigned importance factor associated with at least the first or second application task, the importance factor being associated with the action that needs to be performed; and
displaying the at least one of the first application task or the second application task based on the importance factor. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
