Abstract: A request to invoke a text-list definition of a componentized application is received. The text-list definition of the componentized application identifies a collection of different listed independent application sub-components specified by a user to be executed as a set. A componentized user interface is created with a different user interface component associated with each of the different listed independent application sub-components within the text-list definition of the componentized application. The different listed independent application sub-components are independently accessed based upon user inputs received in association with the respective different user interface component associated with each of the different listed independent application components within the text-list definition of the componentized application.

Abstract: A method and/or computer program product receives computer inputs from a toroidal flexible input device. Physical contact between a toroidal flexible input device and a display on a computer is detected. The toroidal flexible input device is authenticated, and a communication session between the toroidal flexible input device and the computer is established. The computer then receives inputs from the toroidal flexible input device while the toroidal flexible input device is in physical contact with the display on the computer.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments display different types of performance-related data on an information display having a range of units for one type of measured data. Aspects of exemplary embodiment include presenting, by at least one software component executed by a processor, a rate of resource consumption in a visual indicator; and using the visual indicator as a pointer on the information display to a current unit of the measured data.

Abstract: A method for representing and controlling an impact and scope of a widget value includes displaying at least one widget on a user interface. The widget includes a value. The value includes an inherited value. The method also includes displaying information of a scope of inheritance of the value before user interaction with the widget. The information of the scope of inheritance of the value includes a number of inheritance levels of the value and a number of objects impacted by a change to the value. The method also includes receiving a user input changing the value of the widget. The method also includes changing the value of the widget and the objects in response to receiving the user input.

Abstract: A method for value specification in a responsive interface control, the method including: displaying an interface control in a user interface on a touch display device, wherein the interface control is an interactive interface element configured to set an interface value selected from an ordered continuum of values; detecting a shape of a touch gesture input on the interface control on the touch display device; and changing the interface value in response to detecting a change in the shape of the gesture input.

Abstract: Dynamic display of hierarchical data in the form of a treemap. A first instance of an object representation is selected in a first visualization of a hierarchy encoded by containment. A second instance of the object representation is designated, wherein each instance is a tier for object occupation. An object within the hierarchy is displayed as a shape comprising at least two opposing surfaces, and the object is selected through the opposing surfaces. The hierarchy is dynamically re-ordered in response to the selection and designation, and the second representation of the hierarchy is displayed based on the dynamic re-ordering.

Abstract: Disclosed is a scrolling system with adjustable granularity. The system includes a user interface that displays data on a display device. The scrolling system further includes a system for scrolling through data. The system detects a scroll command in a first direction from a user interface. A display area is configured to shift in the first direction when a user issues the scroll command. The system also detects a granularity setting command in a second direction. A scroll bar is configured to shift in the second direction when the user issues the granularity setting command. The system is configured to adjust a granularity setting corresponding to a position of the scroll bar on the display when the scroll bar crosses a threshold point. The granularity setting corresponds to various levels of response sensitivity to the scroll command. Other embodiments of the system and methods are also described.
