  • Patent number: 10346012
    Abstract: A method performed at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display includes displaying a text entry interface area at a first predefined size and with a text input field. The method includes concurrently displaying, at a first size, a viewing area adjacent to the text entry interface area. The viewing area is configured to display scrollable information that includes information entered via the text entry interface. The method includes detecting a first finger gesture on the touch-sensitive display at the text input field. The method includes, in response to detecting the first finger gesture: decreasing the viewing area from the first size to a second size smaller than the first size, and increasing the text entry interface area from the first predefined size to a second predefined size. At the second predefined size, the text entry interface area includes the text input field and a soft keyboard.

  • Publication number: 20160139779
    Abstract: An electronic device includes instructions for: displaying a text entry interface area at a first size for the text entry interface area; concurrently displaying a viewing area adjacent to the text entry interface area, at a first size for the viewing area; detecting a continuous finger contact that starts in the viewing area, moves in a first direction towards the text entry interface area, contacts a predefined boundary associated with the text entry interface area, and continues to move in the first direction after contacting the predefined boundary; and, in response to detecting the continuous finger contact continuing to move in the first direction after contacting the predefined boundary: increasing the viewing area to a second size of the viewing area; and scrolling the text entry interface area to reduce the displayed text entry interface area to a second size of the text entry interface area.

  • Publication number: 20090133027
    Abstract: A project management task prioritization system is provided to refine the prioritization factors for tasks in a project based on changes to the order of performing the tasks. The initial proposed order for performing the tasks is provided by the system to the person responsible for the task in a graphical format that allows the person to drag and drop the tasks, adjusting the order of the tasks to their preferred order. A neural network comparator is used to compare the task prioritization factors associated with each pair of tasks that are altered in order to determine a relative priority. The neural network system updates the task prioritization factors based on the changes in order the tasks are to be performed.
