Patent number: 10210275Abstract: A method and system for controlling focus moving on a webpage is provided, which includes that when an end position of a focus after moving is inconsistent with a determined target position, an moving offset tolerance zone is determined according to an initial position and the end position, and at least one auxiliary position is set in the determined moving offset tolerance zone; the initial position is made to correspond to one or more moving paths generated by the focus moving instruction, and the one or more moving paths are set to comprise a first path from the initial position to the set auxiliary position and a second path from the set auxiliary position to the target position, and the focus is controlled to directly move through the auxiliary position to the target position of the focus. In this way, the focus is avoided from moving to a position inconsistent with the target position, thereby improving accuracy and convenience of the focus moving.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2014Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: Xi'an Zhongxing New Software Co., Ltd.Inventor: Sheng Yu

Patent number: 10165175Abstract: An electronic device includes a control unit and an acceptance unit to accept an operation to move a selected location on a screen in which items are positioned. When moving a particular item not located in a first direction at an end of selectable locations, the particular item is moved in the first direction. Where the particular item is located in the first direction at the end of the selectable locations, the particular item is not moved. In response to selecting a selectable locations without moving any item, a selected location is moved to a location in the first direction from the location being currently selected. Where the location in the first direction being currently selected is at the end of the selectable locations, the selected location is moved, in a direction opposite the first direction, from the location being currently selected to a location at a selectable locations end.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2016Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Emi Kondo

Patent number: 10146318Abstract: This disclosure provides a pose- or gesture-based recognition system that processes images of the human hand, downconverts degrees of freedom of the human hand to lower-dimensional space, and then maps the downconverted space to a character set. In one embodiment, the system is implemented in a smart phone or as a computer-input device that uses a virtual keyboard. As the user moves his or her hand, the smart phone or computer provides simulated vocal feedback, permitting the user to adjust hand position or motion to arrive at any desired character; this is particularly useful for embodiments which use a phonetic character set. Software that performs character selection can be implemented in a manner that is language/region agnostic, with a contextual dictionary being used to interpret a phonetic character set according to a specific language or region.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2015Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Inventor: Thomas Malzbender
