Patent number: 10031665Abstract: In a time data display mode, a time data is displayed in at least one display block partially assigned to a touch screen of an electronic device. After the touch gesture or the drag gesture is detected in one of the display block, the current time data in the display block can be replaced with a new time data according to the touch gesture or the drag gesture. The new time data may be a following time data or a previous time data which can be determined according to a location of the touch gesture, or a direction and a distance of the drag gesture. In addition, the extent of a change in the time data may be determined according to duration of the touch gesture or a speed of the drag gesture.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2016Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Eun Sun Kim, Kyung Dae Park, Mi Na Kwag, Byung Joo Kim, Tae Won Um, Hyung Min Yook, Eun Soo Lee

Patent number: 10013226Abstract: Methods and devices for selectively presenting a user interface on a second screen. More particularly, the method includes a change in the display mode of a multiple screen device from a first screen to a second screen while the device is closed. The change in the display mode may be made in response to a request from an application. The application may be executed and have the user interface window associated with the application moved to a second screen. The change to the second screen can be requested based on input into the application or automatically generated based on the type of application. In response to the request from the application, the device can render the user interface in the second screen.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2015Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: Z124Inventors: Sanjiv Sirpal, Mohammed Selim

Patent number: 10015331Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a display; a first display controller configured to display a background screen image(s); and a second display controller configured to display, within each background screen image, at least one object image each for receiving a command for executing a corresponding predefined processing. The first display controller executes a display switch processing to switch the background screen image being displayed on the display from a first background screen image to a second background screen image by moving the first and second background screen images in a first direction. The second display controller executes a shaking display processing in which the object image displayed within the second background screen image is repeatedly moved between two positions. The shaking display processing is started upon a start of the display switch processing and finished after an end of the display switch processing.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2016Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: BROTHER KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Shinsuke Kaigawa
