Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying elements of a mobile application are described. One or more processors can receive a request to identify elements of a mobile application. The processors can map a plurality of views included in the mobile application and associated transitions between the plurality of views. For each of the plurality of views, the processors can determine a category of the view. The processors can then store, for the mobile application, a data structure identifying each of the plurality of views, and for each of the plurality of views, the category of the view, and one more transitions to others of the plurality of views for use in responding to a request for content from the mobile application.

Abstract: This information processing device enables a user to easily move objects between applications simultaneously displayed on touch panels. The information processing device is provided with touch panels on which applications are simultaneously displayed. A touch panel coordinate management unit detects that an application object has existed for a prescribed time in a defined area of the touch panel when the object is being dragged. An application control unit and a display control unit move the display of the application to a position that allows the object to be dropped as a trigger for detecting the existence of the object in the defined area.

Abstract: A finger-mapped gesture system is a user interface method and apparatus for rapid data input on a touch-sensitive surface. The user gestures by holding the hand stationary relative to the surface and moving the fingers primarily by extension and flexion on the surface. Each finger gestures on a gesturing area instead of selecting among keys. Individual gestures are constructed from finger actions that each independently parameterize the gesture. In combination, the particular fingers gesturing and the parameters that the fingers gesture indicate the input that the user intends. On devices that do not directly identify fingers, fingers are identified via a finger map that, after calibration to a person's hand, associates each finger with a gesturing area. Gestures are otherwise independent of where they are performed, freeing users from having to look at their fingers to target visual elements. The system is optimized for rapid character data entry.

The method includes modifying one or more user interface elements displayed on a user interface of a display to provide an indication at least in part of the one or more directions, relative to position of at least one microphone, of the one or more prominent sound sources (1G).

Abstract: A system enables universal remote media control across multiple platforms, devices, and users. A protocol allows a media controller (such as computer or mobile device) to have access to running activities (such as a television show playing on a media player). The protocol does not require installation of a specific platform application, or a specific user-login/pairing of the media controller with the media player. The system receives commands from a media controller device using a common interface, provides the commands to a remote media player, loads new media content into the media player, based on the commands, and receives state notifications from the media player. The commands and the state notifications include a namespace and a message payload represented as a two-element script array. Another user or device can control the media player using the common interface, for example provided by a browser application on the media controller device.

Abstract: A portable electronic device having an input device for receiving a gesture based input from a user is used to control a navigation operation of an appliance. The portable electronic device receives via the input device the gesture based input and uses one or more parameters stored in a memory of the portable electronic device and one or more characteristics associated with the gesture based input to cause the portable electronic device to transmit a navigation step command to thereby control the navigation operation of the appliance.

Abstract: In embodiments of physics-based cell layout redesign, a computing device displays a cell layout interface that includes cells in a cell grid, and the computing device implements a physics-based algorithm as a computer application that can receive a redesign input to manipulate a cell in the cell layout interface. The physics-based algorithm is implemented to then determine one or more of the cells that are proximate the manipulated cell based on edge relations between an edge of the manipulated cell and respective edges of the one or more cells. The physics-based algorithm can then reconfigure the one or more proximate cells based on the redesign input to the manipulated cell and the edge relations between the edges of the cells.

Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) for training includes, in some embodiments, a first group of icons arranged about a first axis, where the first group of icons corresponds to computer-generated animation concepts. The GUI also includes a second group of icons arranged about a second axis that intersects the first axis at a particular icon along the first axis. The second group of icons corresponds to videos that illustrate the computer-generated animation concept associated with the particular icon on the first axis. The GUI can also include a third group of icons arranged about a third axis that intersects the first axis at another icon along the first axis. Horizontal correspondence between icons along the second and third axes indicates logical relationships between the corresponding training content.
