  • Patent number: 10152844
    Abstract: A graphical user interface for a gaming console is configured to render a first graphical element in a first region that includes multiple user selectable resource objects, detect a first touching operation at a first location in the first region to select and highlight a resource, detect a first touching operation and a second touching operation in the second region, render an instance of the resource at a first and second location in the second region, determine if a time period of the first and second touching operation exceeds a predetermined time period, and if so, render multiple instances of the resource at the first and second location in the second region, wherein a number of rendered the multiple instances of the resource is determined by a duration that the time period of the second touching exceeds the predetermined time period.

  • Patent number: 9830765
    Abstract: A method and a system for improving a user's experience with a graphical user interface corresponding to a gaming environment, executes a software product corresponding to the game, on the computing hardware of an electronic device. The interface renders multiple graphical objects and user selectable options corresponding to the graphical object. The user selects one or more selectable option, and eventually, performs a touching or a swiping operation through multiple points on the display screen of the graphical object. The touching or swiping operation leads to deploying of multiple resources corresponding to the selected option, at different locations on the interface. For controlling the different deployed resources, the user can swipe through different regions of the display screen, based on his/her desire.

  • Publication number: 20150113477
    Abstract: A method and a system for improving a user's experience with a graphical user interface corresponding to a gaming or simulation environment on an electronic device, the interface renders multiple graphical objects and user selectable options corresponding to the graphical object. The user selects one or more selectable option, and performs a touching or a swiping operation through multiple points on the display screen. The touching or swiping operation leads to deploying of multiple resources corresponding to the selected option, at different locations on the interface. For controlling the different deployed resources, the user can swipe through different regions of the display screen. The number of resources deployed at the different locations on the screen depends on certain parameters, including the pressure applied by the user on the screen. Results of the simulation can be employed to control real technical systems, for example for food production.

  • Patent number: 8636594
    Abstract: A graphical user interface on a touch screen device detects, in a first region of the touch screen device, a selection of an option corresponding to a resource to be deployed to a second region of the touch screen device. The graphical user interface detects a selection of two or more areas of the second region by a selection device by determining that the selection includes a selection of multiple individual areas in the second region, a multi-point touch, or a swipe including a selection of multiple areas of the second region. The selected resource is then deployed to the selected areas in the second region.
