  • Patent number: 9128604
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for repositioning a cursor. One embodiment is a method implemented in a mobile device for repositioning a cursor. The method comprises displaying a user interface and receiving, by the mobile device via the user interface, an initial tap on the mobile device by a user. Based on the initial tap, an anchor is invoked for repositioning a cursor, wherein the location of the anchor corresponds to a location of the cursor. The method further comprises receiving an additional tap after the initial tap. Based on a location of the additional tap with respect to the anchor, the cursor is repositioned according to the additional tap. The method further comprises updating the user interface to reflect repositioning of the cursor.

  • Patent number: 8898585
    Abstract: An electronic device, an input method thereof, and a computer-readable medium using the method are provided, wherein the electronic device has a function key corresponding to a predetermined function. In the method, when a function key input is received, whether the function key input is inputted successively is determined according to a time interval between a reception time of the function key input and a reception time of a previous key input. The electronic device is prohibited from executing the predetermined function relevant to the function key if the function key input is inputted successively.

  • Patent number: 8839099
    Abstract: A flash content navigation method, a mobile electronic device, and a computer-readable medium are provided, wherein the flash content is embedded in a web page, and a visible area within the web page is predetermined for displaying at least a portion of the flash content. In the method, when receiving a flash navigating signal, a full screen interface is popped up. If a size of the visible area is greater than that of the touch screen, the flash content is scaled down to make the flash content displayed in the visible area fit the size of the touch screen, and the flash content displayed in the visible area is played back by a scaled size. When receiving a flash interacting signal from the touch screen, the flash interacting signal is transmitted to a flash engine to perform an action on the flash content according to the flash interacting signal.

  • Publication number: 20100312511
    Abstract: A method for correcting software keyboard input includes the following steps. A first set of touch coordinates from a user is obtained. The first set of touch coordinates includes a first horizontal touch coordinate and a first vertical touch coordinate. A horizontal calibration model and a vertical calibration model are obtained from a calibration database. The first horizontal touch coordinate and the first vertical touch coordinate are substituted into the horizontal calibration model and the vertical calibration model respectively to calculate a set of calibrated coordinates. The set of calibrated coordinates is compared with a set of center coordinates to determine a desired user input. A computer program product using the method and a system for correcting software keyboard input are also disclosed herein.
