  • Constraining display motion in display navigation
    Patent number: 10365785
    Abstract: Navigating on a display includes tracking motion of an input tool on a display, comparing a motion of the input tool to a threshold, and changing a position of the visible portion of a page of information on the display if the input tool motion exceeds the threshold. The position of the visible portion of the page of information on the display is constrained if the motion does not exceed the threshold.

  • Overlaid Display of Messages in the User Interface of Instant Messaging and Other Digital Communication Services
    Publication number: 20080114848
    Abstract: The invention relates to instant messaging communications, and more particularly to overlaid messages, e.g. texts, graphics, images, animations, movies, or any combination of them, with or without sounds, that are delivered from a sender's instant message client to at least one recipient's instant message client. Typically, such overlaid messages are displayed for a brief period of time and often overlaid on the session window, or on any chosen area of the client system screen, and may be displayed for longer time in the transcript of the communications usually small-sized or, for example, otherwise transformed, represented, or indicated.
