  • Patent number: 11960707
    Abstract: An electronic device provides, to a display, data to present a user interface that includes a plurality of user interface objects, and a current focus on a first user interface object. While the display is presenting the user interface, the electronic device receives an input that corresponds to a movement of a contact across on a touch-sensitive surface. The electronic device, in response to receiving the input and in accordance with a determination that a first axis is a dominant axis, moves the current focus along the first axis by a first amount and along the second axis by a second amount. The amount of movement of the current focus along the second axis is reduced to a first non-zero amount by a scaling factor that is based on one or more inputs received prior to receiving the input.

  • Patent number: 5758341
    Abstract: The present invention involves a personal computer based system that emulates actions of a human technician correcting mainframe computer transactional records. The system performs analysis functions and update processing of mainframe transaction processing records transparent to the mainframe transaction application system. The automatic transaction processing system acts as a virtual terminal while supplying logic and control functions to sign onto the mainframe computer to access particular pre-selected mainframe transaction records and traverse through the mainframe application correcting transactional records that have been flagged as errors. After correcting the errors on the mainframe computer, the system automatically logs off the mainframe computer.
