  • Patent number: 10409468
    Abstract: A responsive interface control system includes a display device and a control modification engine. The display device displays an interface control in a section of a user interface on the display device. The interface control is an interactive interface element configured to set an interface value. The control modification engine displays the interface control in a section of a user interface on a display device. The interface control is an interactive interface element configured to set an interface value. The control modification engine also displays both a slider and a spinner to implement a spin-slider mode. The interface control is configured to perform a spin function in response to an interaction with the slider to alter the interface value in the spin-slider mode.

  • Patent number: 9201562
    Abstract: A responsive interface control system includes a display device and a control modification engine. The display device displays an interface control in a section of a user interface on the display device. The interface control is an interactive interface element configured to set an interface value. The control modification engine detects a size of the section of the user interface. The control modification engine also automatically sets an interface control mode by selecting one of a plurality of predetermined interface control modes to specify an appearance of the interface control and a function of the interface control based on the size of the section of the user interface.
