Abstract: A method of interacting with a user interface displaying content on a display of an electronic device is provided. A zoom gesture is detected to modify a zoom level of the content displayed on the user interface. A momentum or kinetic value for the zoom gesture is determined and a final zoom level based on the determined momentum value of the zoom gesture is determined. The animation of the transition to the final zoom level can be adjusted to display the content on the user interface at the determined final zoom level. The content may be a webpage in a web browser where the zoom gesture is performed on regions within the content. The momentum of the zoom gesture is utilized to determine a desired region and adjust a final zoom level to align the content.

Abstract: An electronic device receives a command to scroll content for display in a display device. An initial target position to scroll to is determined. An updated target position in the content to scroll to is determined based on identifying an element in the content.

Abstract: A method and electronic device are provided to determine that a text-based message to be sent from a sender to a recipient includes a document attached thereto, determine a protection setting value associated with a protection setting, the protection setting value determined based on collaboration data associated with the sender and the recipient, determine whether the protection setting value meets a threshold, in response to determining that the protection setting value meets the threshold, apply the protection setting associated with the protection setting value to the document attached to the text-based message, and transmit the text-based message.

Abstract: Handling of touch events in a browser environment is disclosed. An example method includes, while a document is displayed on a touchscreen display of a device, detecting a touch event at the touchscreen display, and selectively processing the detected touch event using one of a default hander, a touch event handler, and a conversion to one or more mouse events, according to a touch event handling property defined for the document.

Abstract: A method includes displaying a plurality of display elements on a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device; in response to detecting a touch lasting at least a first duration and associated with a first portion of the plurality of display elements, selecting the first portion; and in response to the touch lasting at least a second duration longer than the first duration, selecting a second portion of the plurality of display elements.

Abstract: A method and computing device are provided for processing user events received via a user interface, such as a touchscreen, in multiple threads. When a user event is received for a target element in a webpage, the user event is dispatched to both a main browser thread and a secondary thread. The secondary thread processes user events in accordance with established default actions defined within the browser, while the main thread processes the user events in accordance with any event handlers defined for that target element. The main thread processing may be delayed by other interleaved task, and the secondary thread may be given priority over the main thread. When the secondary thread completes processing, an updated webpage is displayed. When the main thread subsequently completes processing, its updated rendering of the webpage is displayed. The secondary thread thus provides an early user interface response to the user event.

Abstract: A method of interacting with a user interface displaying content on a display of an electronic device is provided. A zoom gesture is detected to modify a zoom level of the content displayed on the user interface. A momentum or kinetic value for the zoom gesture is determined and a final zoom level based on the determined momentum value of the zoom gesture is determined. The animation of the transition to the final zoom level can be adjusted to display the content on the user interface at the determined final zoom level. The content may be a webpage in a web browser where the zoom gesture is performed on regions within the content. The momentum of the zoom gesture is utilized to determine a desired region and adjust a final zoom level to align the content.

Abstract: A method includes displaying, on a touch-sensitive display, information associated with a first application and information associated with a second application, detecting on the touch-sensitive display, a touch at a first location associated with the first application, reporting the touch as a first touch type to the first application, and when the first touch type is not utilized by the first application within a threshold period of time and when movement of the touch on the touch-sensitive display is detected, reporting the touch to the second application.

Abstract: A method comprises displaying, by an electronic device, a first string corresponding to a received input sequence, determining whether the first string comprises a first part of a complete storage address following a predetermined address convention, and responsive to the determining, displaying a second string associated with the first string and following the predetermined address convention. The second string is a second part of the complete storage address, and the complete storage address further comprises a third part following the second part.
