  • Patent number: 10642474
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for causing movement of items in a user interface of a web browser-based application. A bounding window of a web browser comprising a presentation of items can be caused to be displayed in a user interface on a display of a device. First keyboard input from a user interacting with a first item can be processed. The first item can be caused to be transformed to a moveable state. Second keyboard input from the user interacting with the first item can be processed. The first item can be caused to change locations as displayed in the user interface from the first location to a second location. The second location can be different from the first location.

  • Patent number: 10572031
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for causing re-sizing of items in a user interface of a web browser-based application. A bounding window of a web browser comprising a presentation of items can be caused to be displayed in a user interface on a display of a device. First keyboard input from a user interacting with a first item can be processed. A first edge of a first item can be caused to be transformed to a re-configurable state. Second keyboard input from the user interacting with the first item can be processed. A size of the first item can be caused to be changed by causing the first edge to move from a first relative position to a second relative position with respect to the other items displayed in the user interface.

  • Patent number: 10430765
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for processing keyboard input to perform events in relation to calendar items using a web browser-based application or online service. A database storing data objects identifying calendar items can be maintained. Each calendar item can comprise a subject, a date, and a time range. A bounding window of a web browser comprising one or more panes can be displayed in a user interface on a display of a device. At least one of the panes can comprise visual representations of a plurality of calendar items stored in the database. Keyboard input from a user interacting with a first calendar item of the plurality of calendar items can be processed. One or more events to be performed in relation to the first calendar item can be determined based on the keyboard input. The determined events can be performed.

  • Patent number: 10198484
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for displaying reduced and detailed visual representations of calendar items based on mouse cursor movement. A database storing data objects identifying calendar items can be maintained. Each calendar item can comprise a subject, a date, and a time range. A reduced visual representation of a first calendar item can be displayed in a first region of a user interface on a display of a device. The reduced visual representation of the first calendar item can comprise an at least partially obscured presentation of the subject, the date, and/or the time range of the first calendar item. Mouse cursor movement in the first region of the user interface can be detected. A detailed visual representation of the first calendar item can be displayed in the first region of the user interface in response to detecting the mouse cursor movement.

  • Patent number: 10013162
    Abstract: While an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface is in a screen reader accessibility mode, the device displays a character input area and a keyboard, the keyboard including a plurality of key icons. The device detects a sequence of one or more gestures on the touch-sensitive surface that correspond to one or more characters. A respective gesture of the one or more gestures that corresponds to a respective character is a single finger gesture that moves across the touch-sensitive surface along a respective path that corresponds to the respective character. The respective path traverses one or more locations on the touch-sensitive surface that correspond to one or more key icons of the plurality of key icons without activating the one or more key icons. In response to detecting the respective gesture, the device enters the corresponding respective character in the character input area of the display.

  • Patent number: 9633191
    Abstract: While an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface is in a screen reader accessibility mode, the device displays an application launcher screen including a plurality of application icons. A respective application icon corresponds to a respective application stored in the device. The device detects a sequence of one or more gestures on the touch-sensitive surface that correspond to one or more characters. A respective gesture that corresponds to a respective character is a single finger gesture that moves across the touch-sensitive surface along a respective path that corresponds to the respective character. The device determines whether the detected sequence of one or more gestures corresponds to a respective application icon of the plurality of application icons, and, in response to determining that the detected sequence of one or more gestures corresponds to the respective application icon, performs a predefined operation associated with the respective application icon.
