  • Patent number: 9886519
    Abstract: A method and system for adjusting webpage layout are disclosed. The method includes calculating a width for displaying an image on a webpage; determining whether the image is inserted in a segment of text of the webpage; and adjusting the size of the image display based on a mobile terminal's screen width and the width for displaying the image, if the image is inserted in the segment of text of the webpage. The disclosed methods and systems adjust the images on a webpage based on the width of the image and the screen width of a mobile terminal. As such, an adjusted webpage can be viewed by scrolling up and down the display screen. In addition, a user's online experience may be further improved by adjusting the images on the webpage to be left justified and aligned with the text on the page. A user does not need to scroll horizontally (e.g., from left to right) to read the webpage including the images.

  • Patent number: 9830072
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a method, apparatus and mobile terminal for controlling an application interface by means of a gesture. In an exemplary method, a terminal browser can obtain a preset gesture that is inputted into a screen for generating a control point. The control point can be generated according to the preset gesture inputted into the screen. The control point can be associated with one or more preset areas on the screen. The terminal browser can obtain an operation gesture inputted into the screen targeted for the control point and, according to the operation gesture, generate an application interface corresponding to a preset area that the control point is located at. The present disclosure can break through conventional interface operation modes, realizing application interface control via gestures without occupying visible screen space, and adding more freedom for the layout of the application interface on a mobile device.
