Abstract: Techniques for better information sharing and control switching in a graphical user interface (GUI) are described. In an example, windows are added to a dynamic area of a menu based on an execution of a menu application. The menu is presented in the GUI and each window is shown in a first state to provide quick information about the corresponding application. Upon a user selection of the window, the window is presented in a second state. Based on the window being in the second state, an application module is updated to present an overlay window reproducing the window in the second state. The overlay window is presented coextensive with and over the window in the second state.

Abstract: Techniques for better information sharing and control switching in a graphical user interface (GUI) are described. In an example, application windows are added to a dynamic area of a menu based on an execution of a menu application. The menu is presented in the GUI and each window is shown in a glanced state to provide quick information about the corresponding application. When the user focus shifts to a window, that window is presented in a focused state. Upon a user selection of the window, the window is presented in a selected state and includes one or more selectable controls. Based on the window in the selected state, an application module is updated to present an overlay window reproducing the window in the selected state. The overlay window is presented coextensive with and over the window in the selected state.

Abstract: In a case where the storage area of an information processing apparatus is insufficient for data to be downloaded, an information terminal causes the size of a lacking storage space and a list of stored data in the storage area to be displayed, and accepts, from a user, selection of the data targeted for deletion. If the selection is expected to resolve the lack of storage space, the information terminal accepts a deletion request and issues the deletion request to a management server to achieve deletion of the target data.

Abstract: A computer system and method for presenting windows in a dynamic menu are provided. The dynamic menu presents windows corresponding to an active application according to a first order, whereby windows are arranged based on recent interaction. The dynamic menu also presents windows corresponding to one or more inactive applications according to a second order, whereby windows are arranged based on relevance to a user of the computer system. The windows are presented in a first presentation state, and are expanded to a second presentation state or a third presentation state in response to user interaction. The third presentation state is reached via the second presentation state, thereby reducing latency and complexity of menu navigation.

The control apparatus (a PCM) controls an automobile including a plurality of units. The control apparatus includes a model controller that generates a target value of a characteristic to be achieved by each unit based on a model set for each unit, a unit specifier (a performance change determinator) that specifies a unit in which performance unique to the unit has changed among the units, and a target value corrector (an FF updater) that corrects the target value for the unit that has been specified by the unit specifier.

Abstract: A construction machine includes: a flow rate regulating part which regulates a flow rate of hydraulic oil supplied from a hydraulic pump to a hydraulic actuator, and a control device—which controls driving of a work device. The control device includes: an acquiring part for acquiring a motion state amount of a combined center of gravity of a plurality of members which constitute the work device; and a generating part which generates an instruction value for controlling an operation of the flow rate regulating part such that the motion state amount follows a predetermined first target value, the instruction value being used for executing a feedback control based on the first target value and the motion state amount, and inputs the instruction value to the flow rate regulating part.

Abstract: Techniques for better information sharing and control switching in a graphical user interface (GUI) are described. In an example, a computer system determines a user context indicating a likely user interest in applications. Upon a user request for a menu, windows are added to a dynamic area of the menu based on the user context and correspond to the applications. The menu is presented in the GUI and each window be shown in a glanced state to provide quick information about the corresponding application. When the user focus shifts to a window, that window is presented in a focused state to also provide a selectable action that can be performed. Upon a user selection of the window, the window is presented in a selected state to further provide additional performable actions. The window can be pinned to the GUI and user control can automatically switch to another application.

Abstract: A sensibility meter detects biometric information relating to an operator corresponding to an output from a target appliance, and determines a comfort level of the operator based on the biometric information. A first control unit determines a second target value relating to the output based on a difference between a first target value relating to the comfort level and the comfort level. A second control unit determines a control input to the target appliance based on a difference between the second target value and the output. A ? setting unit performs weighting corresponding to an operation level of the operator, for an operation input to the target appliance by the operator, and for the control input. An adder adds the weighted operation input and control input, and inputs the resultant to the target appliance.

Abstract: A computer system including a content monitoring service of a menu application is provided. The content monitoring service pre-fetches data for a target application based on a data template defined for the target application, and stores the pre-fetched data in a cache of the menu application. The menu application presents a window in a first presentation state, where the window corresponds to the target application and includes content based on the pre-fetched data in the cache. The computer system further includes a window application that, upon a user selection of the window, receives a copy of the pre-fetched data from the cache and presents the window in a second state based on the data template.
