The identified set of Web page elements can be utilized to determine at the computing device one of the installed Web browser applications for the Web page. The determination of the one installed Web browser application can varies from Web page-to-Web page. At the computing device, the determined one of the Web browser applications can be instantiated. The Web page can be opened within the instantiated one of the Web browser applications.

Abstract: The invention enables collaboration between first and second users at first and second workstations having first and second browsers, respectively. A page is loaded into the first browser. An instant messaging connection is established between the first workstation and the second workstation. Then an address of the page loaded at the first browser is sent to the second browser via the instant messaging connection. At the second browser the page is loaded in response to receipt of the page address. A network connection is then established between the first browser and the second browser. Thereafter, messages are sent from the first browser to the second browser via the network connection responsive to screen events by a user at the first workstation to control screen events at the second workstation.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for controlling information to be displayed on a display device may be provided. The system may display on a first display view, electronic data which includes interactable data. The system may detect that the interactable data is selected by a user. The system may identify redundant data between the electronic data and content to be rendered responsive to selecting the interactable data. The system may hide the identified redundant data from the content to be rendered or the original content of the electronic data. The system may display, on a second display view, the content without the identified redundant data.

Abstract: A system and method predictively generates words based on a user input, according to a frequency of lookup of each of the generated words. The system and method also allows for a user to add predictively generated words to a word list that assists in the facilitation of word and vocabulary comprehension for a user. Words in the online dictionary are grouped in word families where a user can navigate between different forms of a root word.

Abstract: An information-processing device, if an instruction to display a window group is received, displays the window group in a first size in a display area of display means, and then displays at least a part of the window group in a second size that is greater than the first size in the display area. If operation means receives an instruction to specify a window that is displayed in the display area, the information-processing device executes a process based on the specified window.

Abstract: A display control apparatus includes a display control means. In the display control apparatus, the display control means is configured to scroll-display a plurality of contents. If it is determined that the speed of the scroll display has increased to reach a first predetermined value, then the display control means classifies and groups the plurality of contents by using group classification information corresponding to the plurality of contents and displays the grouped contents. On the other hand, if it is determined that the scroll speed has decreased to reach a second predetermined value, then the display control means sorts the plurality of contents in order according to a selected grouping method and displays group classification information images at a group classification level one stage lower than the current group classification level.

Abstract: A method of indicating a location of a cursor on a flight deck of an aircraft having multiple flight displays includes detecting when the cursor is jumped from a first location on a first flight display of the multiple flight displays to a second location on a second flight display of the multiple flight displays and displaying a comet tail on at least one of the first flight display and the second flight display directed toward the second location in response to the detected jump.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a user interface comprising generating an interface information packet comprising user interface information readable by a script-based application, sending the interface information packet to a client device, and generating a user interface of the client device via a display engine in accordance with the interface information packet.

Abstract: Navigating hierarchical levels of a design using graphical preview images. In one aspect, a method for providing a preview image for a design includes causing a display of a main image depicting a first portion of the design, the design organized into multiple hierarchical levels, each level having a different amount of abstraction of graphical information of the design. A preview image smaller than the main image is displayed, portraying a second portion of the design at a different hierarchical level than the first portion. The preview image is receptive to a selection causing the second portion to be displayed as the main image. Some embodiments allow the preview image to include one or more hotspots that cause a display of another preview image at a different hierarchical level, or to show a connected object connected to a probed first object.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for displaying information associated with multiple accounts of multiple social media websites owned by an owner. In one implementation, a webpage accessed by a user can be determined to be a webpage of a social media website; data can be obtained from the webpage identifiable with an owner of an account of the social media website in which the owner of the account is not the user; based on the data from the accessed webpage identifiable with the owner, another social media webpage associated with another account of the owner for another social media website can be identified; data associated with the other social media webpage can be obtained; and the data associated with the other account can be provided for display with the accessed webpage.
