Patent number: 10416869Abstract: An information processing apparatus that is capable of finding out a desired content in a short time. A display control unit scrolls and displays at least parts of respective contents on a screen by moving the contents in a predetermined direction. A storing unit stores a start-time content displayed at a time of starting to scroll and display the contents in the predetermined direction among the contents. The display control unit makes a displaying part of the start-time content become larger than a displaying part of the other contents when the start-time content is displayed again because a moving direction of the contents is reversed.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Kazuteru Tani, Satoshi Igeta

Patent number: 10416870Abstract: A display control device includes a display, a touch panel, and a display controller. The touch panel is attached to the display. The display controller controls the display based on an operation performed on the touch panel. The display controller determines whether or not the touch panel has detected a tool display operation performed when the display displays a partial image of an entire image. Upon determining that the touch panel has detected the tool display operation, the display controller controls the display to display a move operation tool. The display controller determines whether or not the touch panel has detected a move operation. Upon determining that the touch panel has detected the move operation, the display controller controls the display to display a different partial image of the entire image based on the move operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventor: Tomoaki Nakaizawa

Patent number: 10416871Abstract: Implementations are described related to users directly manipulating visual depictions of aspects of a data set displayed in a user interface to generate or modify visual representations of the data set, such as a chart. The direct manipulation may be either through a computer input device, (e.g., a keyboard or mouse), or based on other input data, such as a touch input. Aspects of a data set include dimensions, which may be used to filter the data set, and metrics, which are quantifiable elements within the data set. In various implementations, input such as drag-and-drop operations corresponding to visual depictions of aspects of a data set may be interpreted in generating or modifying charts.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2014Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Zhitao Hou, Haidong Zhang, Bryan Dove, Dongmei Zhang, Xiao Liang, He Huang

Patent number: 10416873Abstract: Techniques are shown for changing input assignments of an input device controls for a first application while leaving assignments unchanged for other applications. When a first application is active, a first input action is registered from activation of an input control selected for mode control. In response, when an input mode of the first application corresponds to standard device mapping inputs, the input mode is changed to an input mode corresponding to an alternate device mapping inputs assigned to a subset of input controls. When the first application is in alternate device mapping mode, input control activations are registered according to the alternate device mapping actions. When a second application is active, input control activations are registered according to the standard input mapping actions.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Scott Andrew Borton, Felix Gerard Torquil Ifor Andrew, David Grochocki, Jr.

Patent number: 10416874Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for processing interface displays. The disclosed methods and apparatuses may detect a gesture operation on a current interface of a computing device. The current interface is pre-divided into a first region and a second region. The first region is configured to move in accordance with the detected gesture operation. The disclosed methods and apparatuses may switch from the current interface to a new interface that includes content of the first region when the gesture operation is determined to be corresponding to a predetermined gesture.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2016Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Guangzhou UCWeb Computer Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Liang Rao, Yaohang Xiao
