Patent number: 10838581Abstract: Electronic equipment is controlled with a touching-type signal input device. An inputted navigator-calling request that specifies a user request to navigate among a set of previously-opened application views of different applications is received. A request mode of the inputted navigator-calling request is compared with a predefined request mode associated with navigation among the set of previously-opened application views of the different applications. It is determined whether the request mode of the inputted navigator-calling request matches with the predefined request mode. An open-views navigator is displayed in response to determining there is a match. The open-views navigator has a set of open-views tabs distributed on at least part of a closed structure that each allow selective navigation to a previously-opened application view of one of the different applications.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2016Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jian Wen Chi, Fang Liang Dong, Chang Huang, Zi Xuan Zhou

Patent number: 10678414Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product adjust values of a plurality of conditions. A processor receives a user input, which is a movement across a user interface. A tendency of the movement, which describes a direction and velocity of the movement, is determined. According to the tendency of the movement, a processor adjusts a value of at least one of the plurality of conditions by using a plurality of graphs representing the plurality of conditions, where the plurality of conditions describe search criteria, and where the user input describes the search criteria.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2017Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jian Wen Chi, Fang Liang Dong, Rong Rong Gong, Lin Ying Ying

Patent number: 9927892Abstract: In an approach for managing a user interface a computer identifies a first user that is utilizing the user interface. The computer determines the identified first user is utilizing an aiming tool. The computer receives an input, the input including at least: an orientation of the aiming tool, wherein the orientation includes at least one of: a direction and a force to be applied upon release of the aiming tool. The computer calculates a trajectory from the aiming tool to a first location on the user interface based on the received input.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2015Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Qi Chen, Fang Liang Dong, Chang Lei, Xiao Xia Mao, Wen Wen Yang, Chao Zheng, Jie Zhu

Publication number: 20150378589Abstract: One aspect is a method for utilizing key points in a progress bar to browse through content. The method includes displaying one or more hill-shaped flags at each of one or more key points on the progress bar such that a hill top of each of the one or more hill-shaped flags corresponds to a respective key point of the one or more key points. The progress bar has a slider configured to slide along the progress bar. The method further includes sliding the slider through a first hill-shaped flag, of the one or more hill-shaped flags, on the progress bar automatically, responsive to browsing content. The method further includes decreasing, by a computer processor, a content browsing speed from a first speed to a second speed, responsive to the slider sliding through the first hill-shaped flag.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2015Publication date: December 31, 2015Inventors: Jian Wen Chi, Run Hua Chi, Zhen Hong Ding, Fang Liang Dong, Chang Lei, Zhao Yang, Wei Jun Zheng
