  • Patent number: 10606453
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for automatically synchronizing a visual presentation with a live presenter. Visual presentation slides are preprocessed to determine one or more topics for each slide. A topic index contains one or more topics corresponding to slides of the presentation. As a presenter provides a verbal presentation for corresponding slides, natural language processing analyzes the verbal presentation and creates one or more temporal verbal topic categories. The temporal verbal topic categories are used to search the topic index to find one or more slides that best match the current temporal verbal topic categories. In this way, the slides can automatically follow the discussion of the presenter, enabling improved presentations that can enhance the user experience, increase audience engagement, and improve the dissemination of information.

  • Patent number: 10558356
    Abstract: A display control device includes a display, a touch panel, and a display controller. The display displays one or more items of list information. The touch panel is attached to the display. The display controller controls the display based on an operation performed on the touch panel. The display controller determines whether or not a swipe operation has been detected. The swipe operation is a swipe that is performed on the touch panel when the display displays at least one item of list information. Upon determining that the swipe operation has been detected, the display controller controls the display to change a size of a display area of the at least one item of list information being displayed by the display and change the number of items of list information being displayed by the display.

  • Patent number: 10503387
    Abstract: A novel method for scrolling an electronic document (e.g., a webpage, article, etc.) that is displayed in a display area on a screen is provided. The method receives a swipe gesture on a touch-sensitive input surface, which can be a touch-sensitive surface of a cursor controller (e.g., trackpad, etc.) or can be a touch-sensitive surface of the screen. Based on the swipe gesture's velocity, the method scrolls the document on the display screen and identifies a first location on the document for ending the scrolling. Also, based on this velocity, the method identifies a size for a neighboring region around the identified location. The method then determines whether a scroll stoppage marker is defined for the neighboring region. Each scroll stoppage marker specifies a location within the document for stopping the document's scrolling.

  • Patent number: 10474320
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a document viewing application with first and second document channel browsing modes. The first mode displays selectable items corresponding to document channels. Selection of an item causes the application to add the corresponding document channel to a set of selected document channels from which to retrieve documents for presentation within the application and dynamically add items corresponding to document channels related to the selected document channel to the selectable items for display in the first mode. The second mode displays a first set of selectable items corresponding to sources of documents and a second set of selectable items corresponding to document topics. Selection of an item in the second browsing mode causes the application to add the corresponding document channel to the set of selected document channels and modify the selectable items presented in the second mode a next time the second mode is entered.
