  • Patent number: 11962578
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a first transaction request and a second transaction request including identification of a first trust action and a second trust action requested to be performed with respect to an electronic document. A first trust service provider and a second trust service provider, different from the first trust service provider, are selected to perform the requested first trust action and the second trust action, respectively. Performance of the first trust action and the second trust action on the same electronic document is coordinated with the selected first trust service provider and the second trust action provider.

  • Patent number: 8312373
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus that includes a processing unit configured to monitor a quality of user performance in selecting one or more selectable items that are presented on a display. The processing unit is further configured to cause the one or more selectable items to be presented on the display in a modified arrangement based at least in part on the quality of user performance in respectively selecting the one or more selectable items. For example, the processing unit can be configured to cause the selectable items to be presented in a modified arrangement based at least in part on noted frequency of user error in respectively selecting the selectable items and/or on noted rate of user selection in respectively selecting the selectable items. Also provided are corresponding methods and computer program products.

  • Publication number: 20110239142
    Abstract: An approach is presented for providing content over multiple displays. A display manager causes, at least in part, presentation of a first content on a first display. The display manager then receives an input for activating one or more second displays. The display manager selects a second content based, at least in part, on the first content and the input, and causes, at least in part, presentation of the second content on the one o more second displays.

  • Publication number: 20100206643
    Abstract: A resistive input pad that can be used as a keypad and/or a touchpad comprises a top surface layer with a plurality of resistive sensing pads disposed below the top surface layer. The top surface extends continuous over the surface of the input pad. The number of resistive sensing pads does not need to match the number of keys that are distinguishable by the keypad print on the top surface layer. The grid formed by the resistive sensing pads can be more or less fine than the grid formed by the keys as defined by the keypad print. With a sufficiently fine array of resistive sensing pads the input pad can be used for navigational and drawing purposes similar to a conventional touchpad.
