Patent number: 9418460Abstract: Disclosed is a method including storing in a memory presentation data, including image data, processing the image data to generate positioning data for positioning the image on a presentation in accordance with a plurality of image positioning techniques, and selecting positioning data for positioning the image in accordance with at least one of the plurality of image positioning techniques. A user interface, which may be graphical, permits a user to toggle through the positions generated by the various techniques, and to lock the image in a desired position. Also disclosed are a system and a computer-usable storage medium having instructions thereon for implementing the method.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) PTE. LTD.Inventors: John Weldon Nicholson, Mark Charles Davis, Elif Karakaya, Scott Edwards Kelso, Steven Richard Perrin

Patent number: 9019218Abstract: An apparatus for establishing an input region for sensor input includes a storage device storing machine-readable code and a processor executing the machine-readable code. The machine-readable code includes a recognizing module recognizes a control gesture sensed by a sensor. The machine-readable code includes an establishing module establishes an input region for sensor input in response to the recognition module recognizing the control gesture. The input region includes a confined region of a total sensing area sensed by the sensor.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2012Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: John Weldon Nicholson, John Miles Hunt, Hiroshi Ito, Elif Karakaya
