Abstract: A display apparatus includes: a display device; a touch panel for sensing movement of an input object; a storage storing data representating images; and a controller. Images are displayed on the display device so as to be arranged in an arrangement order. The controller calculates a moving amount for moving the images, in response to movement of the input object. When the images are movable by the calculated moving amount in a moving direction commanded, the controller moves the images displayed on the display device, by the calculated moving amount in the moving direction. When the images are not movable in the moving direction by the calculated moving amount, the controller changes a display manner of the images and display the images in the changed display manner.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to quantification of subjective experiences. A method for quantifying a subjective experience may include outputting an adjustable graphic that is continuously adjustable between differing states. The position of a selector may be manipulated to cause the adjustable graphic to be substantially simultaneously manipulated between the differing states to produce an adjusted graphic. Thus, a user may match the adjustable graphic to his or her subjective experience regarding a particular topic. The position of the adjustable graphic may be stationary, and thus independent of the position of the selector. A scaled value corresponding to the adjusted graphic may be calculated to quantify the subjective experience.

Abstract: A system for a computer implemented interactive comparative display of information organizes a visual screen display to a user in such a way that the user is able to efficiently select information content, be presented with topical associations relating to that content, and readily compare different information content from a single display. The information content represented by each selectable result indicator is comparable with the information content represented by other selectable result indicators, wherein the information content is of a same type of information content but from a different perspective, vantage point, or provides a different alternative. A user may navigate to a particular segment of information content, and then be presented with a string of topically related segments, as well as with one or more connecting categories of information, which may otherwise not have been readily apparent to the particular selected segment, but for the display system and method.
