  • Patent number: 9785334
    Abstract: A method for editing a frame-based page, an electronic apparatus and a recording medium using the same are provided. In the method, an item-based page including items respectively representing applications is displayed on a touch screen. A touch operation performed on an item is detected by using the touch screen. The item is dragged according to the touch operation. Whether the item is dragged to an action area of the item-based page is determined. The item is turned into a new frame displaying a content of the application represented by the item after the item is determined to be dragged to the action area of the item-based page. The frame displays a content of the application represented by the item.

  • Publication number: 20170118520
    Abstract: A personalized smart television management system has an operation system for providing an image to a display apparatus. The system has a user interface comprising a live broadcasting area, an application program area and a demand area. The live broadcasting area is disposed on a first block of a display area of the display apparatus. The application program area is disposed on a second block of the display area of the display apparatus. The demand area is disposed on a third block of the display area of the display apparatus. The demand area displays notification video messages of multiple application programs of the application program area. When a user points a virtual indicator toward a specific notification video message block of the demand area through a user control interface device, a preview playback of a specific notification video message in the specific notification video message block starts.

  • Patent number: 9362124
    Abstract: Provided are methods of patterning metal gate structures including a high-k gate dielectric. In an embodiment, a soluble hard mask layer may be used to provide a masking element to pattern a metal gate. The soluble hard mask layer may be removed from the substrate by water or a photoresist developer. In an embodiment, a hard mask including a high-k dielectric is formed. In a further embodiment, a protection layer is formed underlying a photoresist pattern. The protection layer may protect one or more layers formed on the substrate from a photoresist stripping process.
