Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a user interface for facilitating touch input. According to one example, a single desired character is determined upon a touch input being received within at least one area of the user interface. The desired character is appended to an input word string. Furthermore, the input word string and a single desired character are displayed in distinct adjacent areas on the user interface.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a user interface application launcher and method thereof. According to one embodiment, a user interface comprising an active area and inactive area is displayed on an associated display. Upon detecting a window open event within the inactive area of the user interface, an application launcher window and a plurality of application icons are displayed proximate to an input location of the detected open event on the user interface.

Abstract: A computing device comprising a touch input device and a processor. The touch input device is configured to detect multiple touch point contacts. The processor is coupled to the touch device and configured to execute software instructions that process the multiple touch point contacts and, based on the multiple touch point contacts, adjust at least one audio setting of a plurality of audio output devices.

Abstract: A method for launching a selected application in a computer system that is either in a sleep state or a power-off state, the computer system includes an operating system (OS) installed therein to execute applications in a normal mode of the OS. The method includes, while the computer system is in one of the sleep state and the power-off state, receiving a command to launch the selected application in the computer system, loading the OS in a sandbox mode preconfigured for the selected application, and the OS in the sandbox mode launching the selected application to run in the computer system.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable and executable instructions are provided for displaying a radial graphical user interface. The radial graphical user interface can include displaying a first layer radial menu item as a circular shape and displaying a second layer radial menu of a number of first menu sub-items related to the first layer menu item grouped concentrically around the first layer radial menu in response to a user selecting the first menu item. The graphical user interface can also include replacing the first layer menu with a user selected first menu sub-item and replacing the second layer radial menu with a number of second menu sub-items related to the selected first menu sub-item in response to a user selecting one of the number of first menu sub-items, wherein the second layer is rotatable by a user.

Abstract: An example of the input device includes a housing, a processor, a first input member, and a second input member. The input device additionally includes a non-transitory storage medium including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to generate a first command in the user interface of the computer program upon movement of the first input member to an actuated position, a second command in the user interface of the computer program upon movement of the second input member to an actuated position, the second command differing from the first command, and a scroll command in the user interface of the computer program upon movement of the housing of the input device in a direction, the scroll command differing from the first command and second command, while the first input member and the second input member are in the actuated positions.

Abstract: A system comprises a display and logic coupled to the display. The logic causes a source pane and a preview pane to be shown on the display. The source pane identifies sources of media content to be viewed in the preview pane. The preview pane plays for a user a selected media content while the source pane is still viewable.

Abstract: An electronic device, comprising a media system module configured to output media content of a playlist, the media system module configured to identify a media file from the playlist and, if the identified media file lacks at least one of an audio component or a visual component, output another media file having the lacking component from the playlist concurrently with the identified media file.

Abstract: A system comprises a camera, a display, and logic coupled to the camera and display. The logic causes a video feed from the camera to be displayed on the display and lyrics to be superimposed on the displayed video feed.
