Method for processing the tasks of an automated system according to claim 1, wherein all the parameters internal and external to the system the state change of which is predictable are listed and in that the state changes of said parameters internal and external to the system the state change of which is predictable are processed according to pre-established scenarios introduced into said task control.
3. Method for processing the tasks of an automated system according to claim 1, wherein the state changes of the parameters internal to the system the state change of which is not predictable are processed by performing a collection of data concerning all said parameters and by taking account of the evolution of the values of said parameters in said task control.
4. Method for processing the tasks of an automated system according to claim 1, wherein the state changes of the parameters external to the system the state change of which is not predictable are processed by creating a virtual image anticipated from the state of the environment surrounding the system as a function of a certain number of said parameters, consisting in superimposing on an image representing a real scene of said environment a virtual image representing at least some of said parameters concerning said scene, and by taking account of an evolution of an operational frame of reference of the system based on said anticipated virtual image.
5. Method for processing the tasks of an automated system according to claim 4, wherein the taking account of the evolution of the operational frame of reference of the system is performed by the development of new scenarios.
6. Automated system for processing tasks for implementing the method according to claim 1, comprising an assembly of at least one production terminal, at least one assembly of at least one action terminal forming at least one action server and a production server, wherein said production server is linked to the assembly of at least one action terminal by way of a first data transmission bus and in that said at least one production terminal is linked to the production server by way of a second data transmission bus.
7. System according to claim 6, further comprising an augmented reality server connected to said second data transmission bus.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A computer-implemented method for navigating messages within a thread, comprising:
accessing the thread;
determining a location for each message header within the thread;
modifying an appearance of each message within the thread based at least in part on the location for each message header; and
rendering the thread.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein modifying the appearance of each message within the thread comprises performing at least one of: changing a shading of each message header; applying a gradient shading to each message header; changing a color of each message header; collapsing at least a portion of the message header; expanding at least a portion of the message headers; including an identifier within each message header; and including a selectable user interface element within at least one of the message headers that when selected performs a navigational function relating to the messages within the thread.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein determining the location for each message header within the thread comprises applying heuristics to the thread to identify locations of the message headers.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3, wherein determining the location for each message header within the thread comprises locating at least one of: a From field; a To field; a Subject field; and a Message field.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising tagging the thread using a markup language; wherein tagging the thread comprises tagging at least one element that is associated with each message.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the element is at least one of: a message header element; a message element; a from element; a sent element; a to element; a cc element; a bcc element; a subject element; and a value element.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the tagging is temporarily associated with the thread.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the markup is an XML markup.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising determining when a user is hovering over one of the messages and displaying a navigational control that may be selected to navigate from one message within the thread to another message within the thread.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9, wherein the navigational control is displayed such that it remains in approximately the same location of a screen as the thread is navigated.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising reversing the order of the messages within the thread.
12. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for navigating messages within a thread, comprising:
accessing the thread;
parsing the thread to identify each message header;
tagging each message header according to a schema;
modifying the appearance of each message header; and
rendering the thread.
13. The computer-readable medium of claim 12, wherein the schema is an XML schema.
14. The computer-readable medium of claim 13, wherein parsing the thread to identify each message header comprises locating at least one of: a From field; a To field; a Subject field; and a Message field.
15. The computer-readable medium of claim 12, wherein tagging each message header according to the schema comprises tagging: a from field; a sent field; a to field; a cc field; a bcc field; and a subject field.
16. The computer-readable medium of claim 12, further comprising displaying a selectable navigational control within the thread and when the selectable navigational control is selected modifying the rendering of the thread.
