  • Patent number: 11960707
    Abstract: An electronic device provides, to a display, data to present a user interface that includes a plurality of user interface objects, and a current focus on a first user interface object. While the display is presenting the user interface, the electronic device receives an input that corresponds to a movement of a contact across on a touch-sensitive surface. The electronic device, in response to receiving the input and in accordance with a determination that a first axis is a dominant axis, moves the current focus along the first axis by a first amount and along the second axis by a second amount. The amount of movement of the current focus along the second axis is reduced to a first non-zero amount by a scaling factor that is based on one or more inputs received prior to receiving the input.

  • Publication number: 20110289065
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for presenting attainable events in the form of an event widget on the client computer browser. This system and method provides for embedding an event widget onto a third party, or affiliate, website so that when the website is viewed by a computer end user, the widget displays a tailored list of events. The tailored list of events include events that may be filtered and ranked based on webmaster settings and refined by system users. The events may be data mined from the Internet, as well as entered by System Users. System Users that directly enter events have the option to sell tickets to those events, and the system will broker the sales commissions, as appropriate, to the entities that helped effect the sale, such as website owners and other System Users who provided event information in the form of audio or video presentations that were associated particular events.
