Abstract: An electronic device includes a display, a timer and computing hardware configured to execute a software product. Execution of the software product results in generating and rendering a graphical user interface on the display with four or more user-selectable graphical objects. Selection of a first user-selectable graphical object at a first spatial position on the graphical user interface and a movement of the selected first user-selectable graphical object along a path towards a second user-selectable graphical object at a second spatial position is detected and a position of the first user-selectable graphical object is exchanged with the position of the second user-selectable graphical object. If, during a predetermined time period, a selection of a third user-selectable graphical object and a movement of the third user-selectable graphical object towards a fourth user-selectable graphical object is detected, the positions of the third and fourth objects is exchanged.

Abstract: A method for managing a game session of a multiplayer game is provided. A request to start a game session of the multiplayer game is received from a first party.

If the number of players within the first category is below a threshold number, an invite is sent to at least a second party associated with the first category. Upon receiving a request to join a game session of the multiplayer game from the at least a second party, a game session of the multiplayer game is started by accepting the request from the first party, and the at least a second party is added to the game session of the multiplayer game.

Abstract: A graphical user interface for a gaming console is configured to render a first graphical element in a first region that includes multiple user selectable resource objects, detect a first touching operation at a first location in the first region to select and highlight a resource, detect a first touching operation and a second touching operation in the second region, render an instance of the resource at a first and second location in the second region, determine if a time period of the first and second touching operation exceeds a predetermined time period, and if so, render multiple instances of the resource at the first and second location in the second region, wherein a number of rendered the multiple instances of the resource is determined by a duration that the time period of the second touching exceeds the predetermined time period.

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.

Abstract: An apparatus for managing an online game. The apparatus including a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to identify a set of client devices engaged in an online game; identify game parameters associated with client devices in the set; define group of client devices from the set of client devices, wherein the at least one group of client devices includes client devices with similar game parameter; determine communication latency between each of the client devices in the group of client devices and a server; define subgroup of client devices from each of the group of client devices, wherein the subgroup of client devices includes client devices with a similar communication latency; and enable the client devices in the subgroup of client devices to engage in a game session of the online game.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display screen and a computing hardware.

Abstract: A method for blocking external debugger application from analysing code of software program installed on computing device. The method including initializing software program including an application program and an internal debugger application. The software program, upon initialization thereof, instructs internal debugger application to load application program in internal debugger application. The internal debugger application is configured to utilize kernel resources of an operating system of the computing device.

Abstract: A method for facilitating user interactions. The method includes detecting a selection by a pointer device of a first character; detecting a movement of the pointer device towards a target object; presenting an indicator; detecting that the pointer device is within a predetermined distance of the target object; determining whether a job to be executed with respect to the target object is capable of being executed by the first character; highlighting the target object when the pointer device is within the predetermined distance and the first character is capable of executing the job; assigning the first character to the 10 target object; causing the first character to execute the job with respect to the target object; and updating a presentation of the target object to present a result of the executed job.
