Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for presenting a plurality of objects within a display area on a graphical display device. The size of the display area may be received. A plurality of categories may be generated based on the plurality of objects and the received size. A plurality of labels may be generated for the plurality of categories, the labels describing the objects associated with each category. The plurality of categories may be output for display within the display area. The plurality of categories may also form a hierarchy. Commands may be provided for navigating the hierarchy. A user may conveniently and efficiently view, browse, and select the plurality of objects using the hierarchy and the provided commands.

Abstract: A new or existing portlet queries the category attribute of other portlets on a portal page. The new or existing portlet may take a position adjacent to other portlets having the same category attribute. The new or existing portlet may adjust its size or one or more of the other portlets may adjust their size so that the portlets are aligned with one another.

Abstract: A graphical user interface apparatus, method and computer program product cooperate to control a display. An item is displayed at a periphery of a display and a detector detects when an object is proximate to the item. When detected the display displays a relation item. Then, when the object is detected as moving to be proximate to the relation item, a controller changes a displayed form of the relation item in response to detecting when the object is moved.

Abstract: A device is described. The device comprises a processor configured to communicate with a display and detect a user selection indicative of a message items view. The processor, in response to the detected user selection, is further configured to obtain message data items via a message application executable on the device; arrange the message data items in a two-dimensional scheme; generate display data of the two-dimensional scheme of message data items for display; and output the generated data to the display. A method for a device is also described.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for adjusting sizes of objects displayed on a screen are provided. The a method includes recognizing one or more objects appearing on the screen, displaying guides indicating regions of the recognized objects on the screen, receiving a selection command for one of the recognized objects, and adjusting, upon reception of a size adjustment command, a size of the region of the selected object with respect to a first axis of the guide associated with the selected object or a second axis thereof perpendicular to the first axis, and displaying the size-adjusted region.

Abstract: An information processing device includes a selection accepting unit that accepts selection of three or more objects among a plurality of displayed objects, a movement control unit that moves one or more objects in accordance with movement of input position related to selection of one or more objects among the selected objects, and a processing execution unit that executes specified processing using information related to the moved object on each of a plurality of fixed objects when a position of the moved object is included in a determination area for the fixed object. Processing on the plurality of fixed objects is thereby executed at a time simply by performing the operation of moving the position of one moved object into the determination area for the fixed object.
