  • Patent number: 10850737
    Abstract: A driving lane changing apparatus of a host vehicle comprises a microcontroller. The microcontroller detects information about one or more vehicles traveling in a neighboring lane from a current lane of the host vehicle based on sensing information generated by a sensor of the host vehicle, determines whether the host vehicle is allowed to move to the neighboring lane based on the sensing information, controls the host vehicle to move adjacently to a line distinguishing between the current lane of the host vehicle and the neighboring lane, calculates longitudinal relative distance information between the host vehicle and the one or more vehicles at a preset time point in which the host vehicle moves to the line, and re-determines whether the host vehicle is allowed to move to the neighboring lane based on the calculated longitudinal relative distance information at the preset time point.

  • Patent number: 10082943
    Abstract: A scrolling method and apparatus devices having display screens such as a mobile terminal. When a first image on a screen cannot be moved in a direction by a touch input, a region of the first image is modified in response to the touch input and the modified image is subsequently restored to the first image after the touch is released or a preset amount of time passes. The modification of the region of the image provides an indication that is fed back to the user so that the end or last part of the image is displayed and cannot be moved further, so that undesired repetitive touch input can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 10031665
    Abstract: In a time data display mode, a time data is displayed in at least one display block partially assigned to a touch screen of an electronic device. After the touch gesture or the drag gesture is detected in one of the display block, the current time data in the display block can be replaced with a new time data according to the touch gesture or the drag gesture. The new time data may be a following time data or a previous time data which can be determined according to a location of the touch gesture, or a direction and a distance of the drag gesture. In addition, the extent of a change in the time data may be determined according to duration of the touch gesture or a speed of the drag gesture.
