Patent number: 9933987Abstract: Display apparatuses which constitute a multi-display system each display a partial picture corresponding to a picture position set in the display apparatus. When each display apparatus is instructed to change the picture position and is notified about a picture position to be changed via operation input means, the display apparatus exchanges pieces of picture position information with a display apparatus displaying a partial picture corresponding to the picture position to be changed and swaps the picture positions of the display apparatuses.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2013Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS, LTD.Inventor: Yasunobu Kaneko

Patent number: 9904936Abstract: A method for identifying elements of a webpage is provided. The method includes accessing, by an electronic device, a document object model (DOM) of the webpage. Changes applied to properties of a plurality of elements of the webpage across different media queries for different viewports are then analyzed using the DOM. The different viewports are of different sizes. Based on analyzing, ranking score is determined for each element. Elements having ranking score greater than a predefined threshold are identified as representative elements of the webpage.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2013Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: ADOBE SYSTEMS INCORPORATEDInventor: Vineeth Neelakant
