  • Patent number: 9927960
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a touchscreen may display a graphical user interface with one or more input options and may detect which input options are selected by a user by detecting a user's contact on the touchscreen. The system may determine a new graphical user interface configuration to increase the size and/or spacing of the input options. In some embodiments, one or more of the input options may be removed to increase the space available to increase the size of the other input options. In some embodiments, the system may maintain a history of input option use to determine which input options to remove. In some embodiments, the new graphical user interface configuration may include smaller (and/or additional) input options (e.g., if the contact areas are detected as consistently within the displayed input options).

  • Publication number: 20140215308
    Abstract: In embodiments of Web page reflowed text, a computing device can display a Web page in a browser application interface, where the Web page includes displayable text. The computing device implements a text reflow browser extension to determine a size of a viewable area in which the Web page is displayable in the browser application interface. The text reflow browser extension can also determine a column display layout effective to organize the displayable text of the Web page for optimal readability in the viewable area of the browser application interface. The text reflow browser extension can then create columns of the column display layout, and redistribute the displayable text into the columns of the column display layout for display in the browser application interface.
