Abstract: An electronic device with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, one or more processors, and memory detects a first portion of a gesture, and determines that the first portion has a first gesture characteristic. The device selects a dynamic disambiguation threshold in accordance with the first gesture characteristic. The dynamic disambiguation threshold is used to determine whether to perform a first type of operation or a second type of operation when a first kind of gesture is detected. The device determines that the gesture is of the first kind of gesture. After selecting the dynamic disambiguation threshold, the device determines whether the gesture meets the dynamic disambiguation threshold. When the gesture meets the dynamic disambiguation threshold, the device performs the first type of operation, and when the gesture does not meet the dynamic disambiguation threshold, the device performs the second type of operation.

One embodiment of the present disclosure pertains to a mobile terminal comprising a display module, an input device configured to detect an input for triggering a bouncing animation of a lock mode screen, and a controller configured to cause the display module to display the bouncing animation in response to the input for triggering the bouncing animation, where the bouncing animation comprises the lock mode screen bouncing for a set number of times with respect to an edge of the display module prior to stabilization.

Abstract: Various aspects and attributes of a single-click list selection user interface are described herein. A user can toggle the list inclusion status of any item by single clicking on the item in a selection pane of the user interface. When the user single-clicks a storage container item, the selection pane navigates to and displays items in the selected storage container. In order to prevent inadvertent selections, the user interface may provide graphical feedback indicating the inclusion status of an item prior to the user single clicking that item, e.g., responsive to mouse hover over that item. The user interface may further include a list pane which displays all items presently included in the list, regardless of each item's original storage container.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing user interfaces are disclosed. In certain embodiments, a menu having a number of icons can be provided on a display device such that the icons are arranged around an initial cursor position, or an area that is touched by a user's finger or stylus, for example. Due to the icons being arranged around the initial cursor position, any one of the icons from the menu can be chosen with relatively small cursor movement. In certain embodiments, the menu can be divided into regions that overlap with the icons, such that cursor movement from the initial cursor position into a given region has a similar effect as movement into the corresponding icon itself (without actually moving the cursor onto the desired icon).

Abstract: A system and method for implementing a dynamic menu characterized by a real-time menu architecture. An example method includes determining a menu structure, with reference to a data set, for use with user interface software. A menu is then displayed, wherein the menu includes menu items arranged according to the menu structure. An initial drop-down menu list of the menu includes one or more of the menu items. Each menu item is associated with a data object of the data set. A signal is generated when a change is made to a data set corresponding to a menu item. The menu is then updated based on the signal. In an illustrative embodiment, the example method further includes employing a browser to trigger implementation of the method. The browser communicates with a web server, which communicates with an application that is adapted to analyze the data set and associated data structure and provide an update in response thereto via, the signal, to the web server.

Abstract: A mobile electronic device presents a social network user interface to the device's user. The social network user interface displays posts from other network members who are connected to the device's user in the social network. A social networking application highlights one of the posts on the display. If the device is shaken while the post is highlighted, the application will cause an expression of the first user's positive reaction to the highlighted post to be displayed via the social network so that the first user's positive reaction can be viewed by at least the member who provided the selected post to the social network.

Abstract: A solution for auto-completing words being input to a computer is proposed. For this purpose, a user starts inputting a prefix of a target word; the computer tries predicting the target word that is desired, and it completes the prefix automatically (without the need of inputting the entire target word). In the proposed solution, the user also inputs an indication of the length of the target word. In this way, the computer can restrict the words being eligible to complete the prefix (i.e., including it) only to the ones having the desired length. This allows solving any ambiguity with shorter prefixes.

Abstract: A user input selecting a first data item is received. Multiple informational categories associated with the selected first data item are accessed based on the received user input selecting the first data item. Multiple data items within a first of the multiple informational categories associated with the selected first data item are retrieved. Multiple data items within a second of the multiple informational categories associated with the selected first data item are retrieved. A display is generated. The display includes the first data item, the multiple retrieved data items within the first informational category arranged according to a first category-based axis that extends away from the first data item, and the multiple retrieved data items within the second informational category arranged according to a second category-based axis that extends away from the first data item. Rendering of the generated display is enabled.

The system and methods may be provided for defining a context of one or more input parameters of data used to determine one or more properties of one or more business objects, defining one or more rules associated with the one or more properties of each business object, and generating a metadata model for each business object based on the context of the one or more input parameters of each business object and the one or more rules associated with the one or more properties of each business object.

Abstract: A computing device is described that receives an indication of a notification, and determines a priority level associated with the notification. The computing device determines, based at least in part on the priority level, content of the notification. Responsive to receiving an indication of a gesture detected at an input device, the computing device outputs, for display, a notification center graphical user interface that includes a graphical indication of the notification including the content of the notification.

Abstract: A system and method for capturing user feedback of content in a networked environment and controlling the software using a single action is disclosed. Feedback-software controls provide the user with a single interface that allows the user to simultaneously provide user review content while controlling the software displaying the content. The feedback-software controls eliminate the additional action(s) required to provide feedback and control software. By reducing the process of providing feedback and controlling software into a single action, the feedback-software controls increase the probability that a user will provide feedback. This increased feedback can result in improved recommendations given to users and insightful feedback for content providers or merchants. Another advantage provided by the feedback-software controls is that a viewer can easily provide feedback on all of the displayed content or can simply provide feedback on smaller portions of the content, e.g.
