Abstract: In some implementations, at least a partial view of a jog wheel user interface (UI) element is displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI). The jog wheel UI element is operable to manipulate one or more secondary elements. In response to a touch input for controlling the jog wheel UI element, a rotation of the jog wheel UI element is animated concurrently with manipulation of the secondary element(s). In some embodiments, the jog wheel UI element is rotated at an initial rotational speed based on the touch input, continues rotating after cessation of the touch input, and is reduced until it reaches zero. In one embodiment, a distance between the contact of the touch input and the jog wheel UI element is used to determine a degree of rotation of jog wheel UI element.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to system and/or methods that pair a data extractor with a data accumulator, wherein these components may be located on any one or more computers in a network system. This distributed peer extract-accumulate approach is advantageous in that it reduces (and sometimes completely eliminates) the need for a “funnel” approach to data archiving, wherein all data is moved or backed up through a central computer or central computer system. In certain example embodiments, recall-accumulate, search, verify, and/or other archive-related activities may be performed in a similar peer-based and/or distributed manner. Certain example embodiments may in addition or in the alternative incorporate techniques for verifying the integrity of data in an archive system, and/or techniques for restoring/importing data from a non-consumable form.
