Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose an information display method, an apparatus and a mobile terminal, which relate to the field of mobile terminal technologies. The method includes: receiving a press operation on a preset display content; displaying, based on the press operation, a loading bar representing a magnitude of a force value of the press operation; and loading the loading bar to a preset length when the force value of the press operation reaches a preset threshold, and parsing the preset display content. In this solution, intuitive feedback for the magnitude of the force of the press operation is made through the loading bar, so that the user can know the press process, improving the user experience.

Abstract: Techniques for auto-executing instructions provided in a video on a computing platform are provided. A script is developed from audio provided in the video. Text shown in frames of the video is extracted. Simulated user interaction (UI) events present in the video are identified. A timeline representation is generated to include entries for elements of the script and the extracted text, and identified UI events. Like elements are collected into common entries. Each entry in the script that lacks an associated UI event but is likely to involve a user action prompt is identified. Each entry having an associated identified UI event, and each entry identified as likely to involve a user action prompt, is converted into a corresponding user action command representation. Each user action command representation is mapped to a computing platform executable command, each being performed using processing resources of the computing platform, automatically, without user intervention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for implementing user-driven adaptation of a ranking of navigation elements of a client application. The navigation elements are provided for use by the client application as part of search results in reply to search queries issued by the client application. A search service executes search queries, a ranking infrastructure provides a ranking model for ranking search results as well as a ranking training component for updating the ranking model. The user-driven adaptation is received from a navigation adaptation component of the client application and used by a ranking adaptation component of the search service for updating the training data. The ranking adaptation component invokes the ranking training component to calculate an updated ranking model using the updated training data.

Abstract: A tablet computing device displays training content to a user. Upon detecting the user-selection of a term in the content, the tablet computing device identifies one or more categories that are associated with the selected term and obtains additional training resources related to the user-selected term based on those categories. Additionally, the tablet computing device captures the image of a vehicle, such as an aircraft, within its field of view for display to the user. Given the image, the tablet computing device identifies areas on the vehicle that may be related to the user-selected term and generates touch controls for those areas. The user can touch those controls to retrieve the additional training resources.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques of configuring a layout of graphical objects for display. In one example process, the device detects a scroll request and determines whether the scroll request meets predetermined criteria. If the scroll request meets the criteria, the device configures the layout of graphical objects that are to be displayed once the display is scrolled so that the graphical objects are arranged on the display differently than the arrangement in which the graphical objects would have been displayed, had the layout not been configured. If the scroll request does not meet the criteria, the device forgoes the configuration of the layout of graphical objects.
