                Application 09/925,258                                                                       
                      Appellants’ disclosed invention relates to a multi-window display                      
                environment in which user alert signals are generated whenever an                            
                underlying display window requires user attention.  Various types of alert                   
                signals, such as audio signals, video signals, and combinations thereof, can                 
                be specified by the user.  An alert repeat interval may also be specified by a               
                user to define an elapsed time between successive alert signals.                             
                (Specification 2-3).                                                                         
                      Claim 1 is illustrative of the invention and it reads as follows:                      
                      1. A method for processing a display of an entry panel window on                       
                      a display device of a user terminal, said entry panel window                           
                      being selectively caused to appear on said display device to                           
                      enable input of information in order to effect a continuation of                       
                      an application coupled to said user terminal from a remote                             
                      server, said method comprising:                                                        
                      enabling a user to specify entry panel window parameters, said                         
                      entry panel window parameters being selectively applicable for                         
                      defining predetermined characteristics associated with a display                       
                      of said entry panel window;                                                            
                      detecting a receipt of a request at said user terminal from said                       
                      application at said remote server to present an entry panel                            
                      window on said display device;                                                         
                      displaying said entry panel window received from said remote                           
                      server in accordance with said entry panel window parameters                           
                      specified by said user; and                                                            
                      enabling said input of information by said user into said entry                        
                      panel window in order to effect said continuation of said                              
                      application.
