Abstract: A game device 10 includes: a keyboard display section 112 displaying a plurality of input regions corresponding to a plurality of input objects on a screen of a display device, receiving a first operation input on a rear touch pad, and displaying, in an enlarged state, a predetermined input region among the plurality of input regions; and an input receiving section 111 receiving a second operation input for determining an input object, and inputting the input object corresponding to an input region identified by the second operation input.

Abstract: Discussed herein is an information processing device that displays information in an effective manner on a display screen of the device. A portion of the total data is displayed on the screen when the total data exceeds the amount of data that can be displayed on the screen at a given time. The information processing apparatus characterizes the portions of data as already-read data portions and unread data portions, based on a speed of a scrolling operation performed when the corresponding data portion is displayed on the device. Further, the apparatus also provides a visual indication for each already-read data portion on the display screen of the device. Thus, a user can correctly identify data portions that have been already read and data portions that are yet to be read.

Abstract: A method includes displaying, on a touch-sensitive display, a plurality of application icons in a first configuration at locations on a hexagonal grid in relation to an origin. The application icons have corresponding ranks based on their respective locations in relation to the origin. In response to detecting a movement of a user contact from a first position to a second position: the display of a first application icon at a first location is translated to a second position; a second configuration of the application icons is determined based on the first location and the second location; and the display of the application icons is transitioned from the first configuration to the second configuration. In the second configuration, no application icon except the first application icon is displaced by more than one location relative to the first configuration.

Abstract: A method of simulating end user interaction with a user interface that comprises identifying a user interaction session during which an end user interacts with an application hosted by a client terminal via a user interface which is displayed by the application on a display of the client terminal, iteratively documenting user interface states of the user interface during the user interaction session, the user interface states are tagged to indicate a runtime presentation timing, and iteratively documenting user inputs inputted by the user during the user interaction session, the user inputs are documented with reference to display areas of the user interface at a respective of the user interface states during the user interaction session. The user interface states and the user inputs are time synchronized to generate a simulation of the user inputs during the interaction session with reference to the user interface states in a sequential manner.

Abstract: A change operation changing a displayed portion of an electronic document from a first portion to a second portion is detected. First and second ranges of displayable portions of the electronic document are determined. The first range includes the first portion of the document and the second range includes the second portion of the document. A character string appears at a first frequency in the first range, and appears at a second frequency in the second range. Change information is generated that relates the second appearance frequency to the first appearance frequency.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus including a processor configured to cause a display to show a screen, the screen including an input area which accepts a text input or a drag & drop input performed by a user, a first icon which is associated with the input area and executes a first operation based on an input accepted by the input area, a second icon which is associated with the input area and executes a second operation based on an input accepted by the input area, the second operation being different from the first operation, a first display area for information acquired by the first operation, and a second display area for information acquired by the second operation.

Abstract: A user device may provide a graphical user interface which presents content navigation objects, where each content navigation object may be associated with a content item and is presented within a portion of the graphical user interface. The user device may detect an action that corresponds to a content navigation object, and determine whether the detected action is a command to display content options that may be contextually related to the content item associated with the content navigation object. The user device may display the content options by altering the appearance of the content navigation object, receive an action selecting the content option from the displayed content options, and conceal the content options after the action for selecting the content option has been received.

Abstract: Operating a touch-screen device includes displaying at least a portion of a keyboard on a touch-screen, detecting a touch on the touch-screen, and detecting movement of the touch on the touch-screen. Operating the touch-screen device also includes moving the displayed keyboard in response to the detected movement of the touch on the touch-screen, detecting a release of the touch from the touch-screen, and assigning a character according to a final location of the touch relative to a location of the displayed keyboard.

Abstract: The disclosure provides examples of a messaging application search service in which a search is performed from a messaging application for content to be incorporated into a message being composed using the messaging application. The messaging application responds to a search function indicator to provide a search function without leaving the messaging application. The search function indicator is interpreted by the messaging application as a request for a search to be performed by a search application. Upon receipt of the search request, the messaging application allows search terms to be entered in a messaging application user interface for subsequent search by the search application. Returned search results are presented to the user within the messaging application to allow the user to incorporate a search result into a message being composed via the messaging application.
