A displayer (103) displays an indicator on a display when the operation receiver (101) receives a first operation in the sleep mode. A launcher (104) launches, when the operation receiver (101) receives operations for specifying the indicator, an application program associated with the specified indicator.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2013Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: NEC CorporatianInventor: Sho Ryo

Patent number: 10331288Abstract: A method. The method may include obtaining, from a graphical user interface (GUI), a selection of a first oilfield object. The first oilfield object may define a portion of a first wellbore design. The method may further include determining a target context of a second wellbore design. The method may further include obtaining, from the first oilfield object, source oilfield data describing the portion of the first wellbore design. The method may further include adjusting the source oilfield data, according to the target context of the second wellbore design, to obtain target oilfield data for the second wellbore design. The method may further include generating, using the target oilfield data, a second oilfield object within the target context. The method may further include presenting, within the GUI, the second oilfield object.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2015Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Lucian Johnston, Mark S.

Patent number: 10331293Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system dynamically resizes one or more application windows displayed on one or more screens based on an interactive state associated with the one or more application windows. Initially, a processor displays a plurality of different windows associated with one or more corresponding applications and determines an interactive state associated with each of the plurality of different windows. The processor then analyzes the interactive states of each of the plurality of different windows and, in response, adjusts a size of one or more of the plurality of different windows in accordance with the determined interactive states. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for dynamically resizing one or more application windows based on the interactive states associated with the one or more application windows in substantially the same manner described above.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2017Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CoporationInventors: Paul R.

Patent number: 10331295Abstract: A computer-implemented method for visualizing data about an object. A hierarchy of image blocks is generated using an action scheme and a part. Instructions identifying a hierarchy of image blocks and the action scheme are generated. The hierarchy of image blocks is communicated to a graphical user interface. An image area is identified in an image block in the hierarchy of image blocks in the graphical user interface. A query is generated to identify a location of the part within the object. The query is based on a type of search, a spatial region, and the action scheme. An indicator representing the location of the part identified by the query is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Nikoli E.
