Patent number: 10185491Abstract: An electronic device with a display, a touch-sensitive surface and one or more intensity sensors displays content. While a focus selector is over the content, the device detects a gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, the gesture including a contact on the touch-sensitive surface and movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to movement of the focus selector on the display. In response to detecting the gesture, when the contact has an intensity below a selection intensity threshold, the device scrolls the content on the display in accordance with the movement of the focus selector on the display. In response to detecting the gesture, when the contact has an intensity above the selection intensity threshold, the device displays an enlarged representation of a portion of the content corresponding to the location of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2015Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Jeffrey Traer Bernstein, Julian Missig

Patent number: 10182069Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for blocking access to restricted elements of application interface and covering the restricted elements by trusted interface elements. The system includes an analyzer module, a database of restricted elements and a blocking module. The analyzer module is configured to detect interface elements of an active application rendered on a computer or a mobile device. The analyzer module determines if an application interface element is restricted by comparing the application interface element against the known restricted interface elements from the database. If the restricted element is detected, the analyzer module sends the data about the restricted element to the blocking module. The blocking module covers the restricted interface element by a trusted interface element or by an image.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2016Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: Kaspersky Lab, ZAOInventors: Konstantin M.

Patent number: 10152192Abstract: In some implementations, a method for managing virtual workspaces is described. In some implementations, workspace images corresponding to different virtual workspaces can be displayed on a user interface of a computing device. When an application window is moved onto one of the workspace images, the window can be scaled down to fit within the workspace image. In some implementations, a window grouping or cluster can be moved onto one of the workspace images and scaled down accordingly. In some implementations, a method for generating a new virtual workspace is described. In some implementations, a placeholder workspace image that has no corresponding virtual workspace can be displayed on a user interface of a computing device. In response to an application window being moved onto the placeholder workspace image, a new virtual workspace (and new workspace image) can be generated that includes the windows that were moved onto the placeholder workspace image.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2012Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Bas Ording, John O.

Patent number: 9894261Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for presenting DVM system information. In overview, a hierarchical tree structure is used to display DVM system elements (such as cameras). The tree structure is defined by a plurality of nodes arranged in hierarchical levels. Each level in the tree structure corresponds to an element characteristic. The nodes for each level correspond to element characteristic values. For example, one level might correspond to “camera status”, and the nodes at that level each define camera status values (e.g. operational or non-operational). A tree customization module allows a user to customize the tree structure by designating element characteristics for levels in the tree structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2012Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventor: Mark Flannery
