Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display screen and a computing hardware which is operable to execute a software product, wherein executing the software product results in generating and rendering a graphical user interface on the display screen. When rendered, the graphical user interface presents four or more user-selectable graphical objects. Selecting and moving a first graphical object towards a second graphical object is configured to result in exchanging spatial positions of the first and second graphical objects. The exchange of the spatial positions is configured to trigger starting a timer and enabling, during a time set by the timer, selecting and moving at least a third graphical object towards a fourth graphical object.

Abstract: A method for detection of tampering in an executable code including one or more code blocks. The method includes monitoring execution of the executable code with a call stack data structure associated therewith, the execution involving accessing one or more address spaces; receiving information about the one or more address spaces, as accessed; comparing the received information about one or more accessed address spaces with information about one or more allowed address spaces defined in the call stack data structure of the executable code; raising a flag upon detection that the one or more accessed address spaces are different from the one or more allowed address spaces, based on the comparison; and executing an action based on the raised flag.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes generating and displaying graphical user interface on a display screen of apparatus; receiving a request to move at least one group of objects to a target area on the graphical user interface, and detecting when at least one obstacle lies in a path between the target area and at least one group of objects. When it is detected that at least one obstacle lies in the path, instructions are generated to control the movement of objects of the at least one group in a randomized manner. The instructions indicate at least one random variable parameter to be employed during the movement of a given object in at least one group. The instructions are executed to control the movement of the objects of the at least one group from their respective starting locations to a target area on the graphical user interface.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for game control. A graphical user interface is generated and displayed on a display screen. The graphical user interface presents at least one user-controllable object and at least one target object. A user is enabled to provide a user input to control a movement of the at least one user-controllable object within the graphical user interface. A predetermined area is identified around the at least one user-controllable object in the graphical user interface. It is detected whether or not the at least one target object lies within the predetermined area in the graphical user interface. If it is detected that the at least one target object lies within the predetermined area, an action is executed on the at least one target object from the at least one user-controllable object.

Abstract: In a method and a system for improving a user's experience with a graphical user interface corresponding to a gaming or simulation environment on an electronic device, the interface renders multiple graphical objects and user selectable options corresponding to the graphical object. The user selects one or more selectable option, and performs a touching or a swiping operation through multiple points on the display screen. The touching or swiping operation leads to deploying of multiple resources corresponding to the selected option, at different locations on the interface. For controlling the different deployed resources, the user can swipe through different regions of the display screen. The number of resources deployed at the different locations on the screen depends on certain parameters, including the pressure applied by the user on the screen. Results of the simulation can be employed to control real technical systems, for example for food production.
