Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for identifying and providing highlight messages from a group messaging thread. For example, systems and methods described herein detect when a group messaging thread participant becomes absent from the group messaging thread, and identifies one or more highlight messages that were submitted to the group messaging thread while the participant was absent. Systems and methods described herein identify highlight messages that are specific to the absent participant, such that when the participant again accesses the group messaging thread, the participant can review the identified highlight messages in order to quickly “catch up” on the group messaging thread without having to read each electronic message submitted to the group messaging thread during the participant's absence.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for screen operation are provided. The apparatus includes an electronic device.

The processor adjusts, based on a location indicated by a received input event, a display location of the one or more objects displayed on the display.

Abstract: Individualized icon elements are provided to a development team implementing a user interface or other image content for a new software application. A computer system receives an electronic document representing an image mockup from a designer, and scans the electronic document to identify mock icons. The mock icons are matched to corresponding icons in a digital icon repository. Each icon in the repository has associated metadata such as file name, description, file format, location, etc. Icons may be available with different file formats. The corresponding icons are provided with associated metadata in a form which is selectable by a developer. Corresponding icons may be provided by displaying icon images with respective confidence values representing an estimated likelihood of matching. A desired icon can be selected for inclusion in an icon package, and thereafter be removed from the list of available icons in the icon repository for the current project.

Abstract: A method includes: displaying to a display a first indication of a first segment of a patient's oral cavity to be scanned; receiving a first user input via a hand held intraoral scanning device; causing the hand held intraoral scanning device to enter a scan mode; receiving one or more intraoral scans of the first segment; generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of the first segment based on the one or more intraoral scans; displaying to the display the 3D model of the first segment; receiving a second user input via the intraoral scanning device after receiving the one or more intraoral scans of the first segment; and displaying to the display an overlay including a first element corresponding to third user input for navigating to a next segment and a second element corresponding to fourth user input for navigating to a previous segment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a display control method, a display control device and a terminal. The display control method includes: arranging, in a gap area between application icons on a terminal screen, an application icon not present on a current menu page of the terminal or an application icon not present on each of all the menu pages of the terminal. The present invention fully utilizes the gap area between the application icons to arrange specific application icons, and by means of a change mode or a specific gesture operation, the handover between hiding and display is realized, thereby enriching the display control modes of the application icons.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling the real-time sharing of document edits as rumored changes are disclosed herein. As an editor makes changes to a document being coauthored, those edits may be entered into the editor's copy as concrete changes that are incorporated into the copy's backing store, and may be shared as rumored changes to endpoints that are not incorporated into their backing stores. Rumored changes display the endpoint's real-time interpretation of an edit made by an editor, but are not incorporated as concrete changes until a save command occurs. By enabling the real-time display of edits as rumored changes, editing users can make edits naturally and endpoint users can see those edits being made with a reduced chance of corruption on the endpoint and lower network overhead and processing by the computing devices involved in the coauthoring environment.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus which makes it easier to avoid a condition in which the viewing of on-screen elements included in a web page is interfered with. An information processing apparatus displays a main display area that represents content of a web page on a screen of a display device. The information processing apparatus identifies, among a plurality of on-screen elements of interest, an on-screen element of interest that enters or departs from the main display area as the web page is scrolled along a given scrolling direction, when the web page that includes the plurality of on-screen elements of interest and that can be scrolled along the given scrolling direction appears in the main display area.

Abstract: A new element mapper is provided for mapping elements of a page using user-provided or automatically generated terms or names. Specifically, a user may direct an application displaying a page to enter into an in-context element mapping mode, in which page elements eligible for mapping may be identified and highlighted whenever one is moused or hovered over. Responsive to the user selecting a page element of interest, the element mapper may provide a dialog with an input field. The dialog may be displayed near the page element of interest or as part of the page. Based on a user-provided or automatically generated name, the element mapper may generate a mapping output and store it in association with a selector for the page element of interest. The mapping output can be used to build a site rule in context of the page element of interest.
