Abstract: A method for merging first and second images includes determining a pixel difference image from the first and the second images, determining first and second locations of the foreground subject from the pixel difference image, determining a minimum path of values from the pixel difference image for a region between the first and the second locations of the foreground subject, forming a merged image by stitching the first and the second images along the minimum path, and adjusting pixels of the merged image within a width of the minimum path.

Abstract: A method is provided for laying out a child element in a parent element in a window. If a dimension of the child element is fixed, the method includes (1) allocating a fixed dimension to the child element from a remaining dimension of the parent element that has not been allocated. If the dimension of the child element is variable based on a content of the child element, the method includes (2) determining a required dimension based on the content of the child element and (3) allocating the required dimension to the child element from the remaining dimension of the parent element. If the dimension of the child element is proportional based on a weight of the child element and the remaining dimension of the parent element, the method includes (4) determining a proportional dimension of the child element and (5) allocating the proportional dimension to the child element.

Abstract: An electronic program guide includes a first program listing for a single start time and a second program listing for a television station identified in the first program listing. The first program listing displays a time of the start time, a first list of television stations and titles of television programs corresponding to the television stations, and a cursor visually identifying one of the television stations and one of the television programs in the first list. The second program listing displays the identified television station and a second list of start times and titles of television programs corresponding to the start times.
