  • Patent number: 10284435
    Abstract: A method for visual representation of EURT is provided. Measurements of performance parameters are collected. Each of the performance parameters corresponds to at least one performance problem domain. The performance parameters include at least a first, second and third parameters. A correlation between at least two of performance parameters is determined. A first graph having a first region representing the first parameter and having a second region representing the second parameter is presented to a user. The first and second regions extend in substantially opposing directions. A second graph representing the third parameter based on the determined correlation between data elements falling within each of the respective performance problem domains is simultaneously presented to the user. The first, second and third parameters are components of the EURT.

  • Patent number: 9875316
    Abstract: Even when it takes time to perform rendering of a web page, it is made possible to execute a process intended by a user who performs an operation of pointing at an element in the web page. When an operation of pointing at a position of an element in a web page is received before drawing of the web page is completed, an information processing apparatus acquires coordinates indicating the position and a screen shot of the web page. The information processing apparatus identifies an element indicated by an image, in the screen shot, located at a position indicated by the coordinates. When a process corresponding to an event of the operation is to be executed, the information processing apparatus causes a process that is executed when the operation is performed on the identified element to be executed.

  • Patent number: 9824072
    Abstract: Adjusting the layout size of a hyperlink includes displaying at least one hyperlink in a user interface; detecting a touch operation for the at least one hyperlink, and extracting position coordinates of a touch point formed by the touch operation on the user interface. Adjusting the layout size further includes determining a target hyperlink from the at least one hyperlink, and determining the precision of the touch operation with respect to the target hyperlink based on the position coordinates of the touch point; and adjusting layout size of the target hyperlink based on the determined precision. The hyperlink layout in a web page can be adapted to the touch precision of user's finger automatically, which facilitates the recognition of hyperlinks by the user's finger.

  • Patent number: 9740672
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for seamlessly embedding content from other sources into web pages. Iframes are typically used to embed the content from other sources. The design or style components of the content from other sources displayed through an Iframe may not match the surrounding content of the web page in which the Iframe is embedded. Often updating the style components of an Iframe will require a client to visit the source of the content, update code, and/or refresh the client's webpage to reflect the updated content. Disclosed herein are methods and systems for allowing a client to update style components of content displayed in an Iframe directly from the Iframe, without requiring the client to leave the client webpage, update code, or refresh the client webpage.

  • Patent number: 9575948
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a fixed format viewing mode in electronic computing devices. The fixed format viewing mode may be engaged upon receiving virtual ink annotations at the touch screen of the electronic device. The annotations may be input using an active stylus. Upon receiving virtual ink annotations, the current page of digital content may be converted into a fixed format page wherein the formatting characteristics are held constant and the annotations remain in the same location with respect to the underlying digital content. Formatting characteristics for other pages of the digital content may be altered, however the fixed format page maintains the same format as when the annotations were added. The user may hide and/or edit virtual ink annotations, and when the annotations are hidden the content of the fixed format page may flow normally and match the formatting characteristics of the rest of the digital content.
