Abstract

In general, an indication is received through a user interface of an intention of a potential rider to use an autonomous vehicle. In response to the receipt of the indication, a hailing request is sent by a signaling mode to at least one autonomous vehicle that can receive the hailing request directly in accordance with the signaling mode.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising

serving user interface pages to a user of an application, the user interface pages containing user interface controls and, for each of at least some of the user interface controls, an associated indicator that can be revealed by an action of the user and then invoked to open a source of help that is specifically relevant to the user interface control that has the corresponding indicator.

2. The method of claim 1 in which the associated indicator is hidden until revealed by the action of the user.

3. The method of claim 1 in which the source of help comprises an online source of help.

4. The method of claim 1 in which the indicator is part of a hidden tool tip.

5. The method of claim 1 in which the indicator can be revealed by the user rolling a display pointer over the user interface control.

6. The method of claim 1 in which the source of help comprises a webpage of a decision support system.

7. The method of claim 1 comprising including in the served user interface pages a user interface control that enables the user or another user to add, remove, or change the indicator.

8. The method of claim 1 in which the indicator comprises a URL, IP address, or other link.

9. The method of claim 1 in which the application is associated with delivery of medical services.

10. The method of claim 1 in which the user is a physician.

11. The method of claim 1 comprising enabling another user of the application to provide a tool tip including the associated indicator.

12. The method of claim 1 in which the user has a permitted feature set that is a copy of a permitted feature set of another user.

13. The method of claim 1 in which the associated indicator being invoked comprises the user clicking on the indicator.

14. The method of claim 1 comprising

serving one of the user interface pages to a first user of the application, and

exposing to the first user on the one user interface page, features that enable the first users to that specify permitted feature sets of the application for each of one or more other users,

the features exposed to the first user also enabling the first user to specify that the permitted feature set for each of the other users will be the same as the permitted feature set of a specified user.

15. The method of claim 1 in which the permitted feature sets comprise features that are exposed to each of the other users through user interface pages.

16. The method of claim 1 in which the permitted feature sets comprise features that are exposed to each of the other users through user interface controls.

17. The method of claim 1 in which the permitted feature sets comprise features that are exposed to each of the other users as content elements.

18. The method of claim 1 in which the permitted feature sets comprise features that are exposed to each of the other users as user interface presentation features.

19. The method of claim 1 in which the specified permitted feature sets are to be applied to user interface pages served to the other users, the user interface pages are to expose content to the other users, each of the other users is affiliated with one or more institutions, and a scope of the content to be exposed to each of the other users depends on the institutions with which the other user is affiliated.

20. The method of claim 19 in which the user interface pages are served through a web browser.

21. The method of claim 1 in which the first user and all of the other users are affiliated with an enterprise and are authorized users of the application.

22. The method of claim 1 in which the first user is an administrator of an enterprise.

23. The method of claim 1 in which the selected permitted feature sets comprise features associated with delivery of medical services.

24. The method of claim 1 in which at least some of the other users are physicians.

25. The method of claim 1 in which at least one of the other users comprises an origin user and at least one of the other users comprises a clone user.

26. The method of claim 1 in which at least one of the other users has a permitted feature set that is a copy of a permitted feature set of another one of the other users.

27. The method of claim 1 in which the permitted feature set for at least one of the specified users comprises at least one feature that enables the specified user to change the permitted feature set of one of the other users.

28. The method of claim 27 in which the other user is an origin user and in which the method comprises changing the permitted feature sets of other users who are clones of the origin user.

29. The method of claim 28 in which the permitted feature set for at least one of the specified users comprises no feature that enables the other user to change attributes of features of the user interface page.

30. A computer-implemented method comprising

serving a user interface page of a medical services application to a medical practitioner,

the user interface page presenting at least one user interface control invocable by the medical practitioner, invocation of the user interface control exposing to the medical practitioner a feature usable as part of reviewing information about a patient and generating a report about a state of the patient based on the information,

the user interface control having an associated hidden link that can be revealed by an action of the user,

receiving an indication of the action by the user to reveal the hidden link,

in response to the action, revealing the hidden link without exposing the feature that would be exposed to the medical practitioner by invocation of the user interface control,

while the hidden link is revealed, enabling the medical practitioner to click the link, and

in response to the medical practitioner clicking the link, presenting help specifically relevant to the feature that would be exposed to the medical practitioner by invocation of the user interface control.
