Patent number: 10241668Abstract: Implementations provide an improved drag-and-drop operation on a mobile device. For example, a method includes identifying a drag area in a user interface of a first mobile application in response to a drag command and receiving a drop location in a second mobile application that differs from the first mobile application. The method may also include determining that a drop location is a text input control and the drag area is not text-based, performing a search for a text description of the drag area, and pasting the text description into the text input control. The method may also include determining that a drop location is an image input control and that the drag area is text based, performing a search using the drag area for a responsive image, and pasting the responsive image into the image input control.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2017Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Matthew Sharifi, David Petrou

Patent number: 10237422Abstract: An image display device includes a command receiving unit that receives a command to display one page and a display control unit that displays a composite image on the indicated one page and a list of a plurality of image groups associated with the plurality of pages on a display unit at the same time. The display control unit distinctively displays two or more image groups among the plurality of image groups in the list and preferentially displays an image group associated with the one page in the list.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2017Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventor: Masako Yoshida

Patent number: 10227008Abstract: An operating device includes an input device that receives a character input of a user, a display device that displays input characters in an input field, and a delete device that deletes at least one character displayed in the input field in a deleting process. The delete device is configured, during the deleting process, in the input field, to move a delete element successively over in each case one of the displayed characters and in so doing in each case to delete the character or to mark it for a deletion to be carried out at the end of the deleting process. The delete device can also be configured to, during the deleting process, to detect a sliding movement of a user's finger on at least one touch-sensitive touch field and to control the movement of the delete element depending on the detected sliding movement.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2016Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: AUDI AGInventors: Tahar Bouaziz, Franziska Boehm

Patent number: 10228775Abstract: A computing device includes a digital ink system that provides digital ink support to applications on the computing device. Digital ink inputs are received by the digital ink system, which provides ink stroke data for the digital ink inputs to the application for storage in a manner and format the application desires. The digital ink system also generates a digital ink container associated with the digital ink input, and communicates the digital ink container to a digital ink repository. The digital ink repository stores digital ink containers for multiple applications, and can be searched from a computing device to identify digital ink input to an application regardless of which application the digital ink was input to.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2016Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventor: Francis Zhou

Patent number: 10222970Abstract: During a drag operation, commonly known as “drag and drop,” the processor causes display a separate graphical indicator or “drop socket” for each action available to a user at the current moment. For example, if the user is viewing a list of objects and selects one source object, if there is only one action possible for the selected receiving object, one drop socket is displayed. If there were two actions possible, then two drop sockets are displayed. The user completes the drag and drop operation by moving the finger or mouse pointer into the graphical region of the drop socket and deselecting or letting up. The specific action performed depends on which drop socket was selected. If the user selects not to complete the drag and drop operation, he simply lets up the finger outside the regions of the drop sockets.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2017Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: PERINOTE LLCInventor: Peri Hartman

Patent number: 10222960Abstract: Implementations relate to generating and displaying animations of user interface elements. In some implementations, a computer-executed method includes receiving user input indicative of manipulation of a particular user interface element with respect to a grid including a plurality of user interface elements. The method identifies, based on the user input, at least first and second rows of the grid to be updated. The method generates an animation to update the grid, including an update of the second row of the grid and one or more transitions comprising at least one of: transition of a first user interface element from the first row to outside the display area of the grid along a first direction, and transition of a second user interface element into the first row from outside the display area along a different second direction. The method causes the animation to be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2016Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Paul Sowden, Eric Henry

Patent number: 10219040Abstract: A method, system, computer program product, and computer readable storage medium provide the ability to bookmark a frame of media content. A media content user interface component that controls playback of the media content in a media player is activated. The component includes a circular progress bar. A frame within the media content is identified and bookmarked. A bookmark is displayed on the circular progress bar and reflects the location of the bookmarked frame. The bookmark is selected to begin play from the bookmarked frame.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: THE DIRECTV GROUP, INC.Inventors: Arpi Mardirossian, Don E.

Patent number: 10215993Abstract: A display apparatus and a home appliance including the display apparatus are provided. The display apparatus includes a display unit, a transparent protection layer configured to be disposed on a front surface of the display unit and has a wider area than an area of the display unit, a half mirror layer configured to adhere onto a back surface of the transparent protection layer, reflect a portion of external light, and transmit light diffused from an image display area of the display unit, and a printing layer configured to be formed on a back surface of the half mirror layer and cover the display unit. A color of a background displayed in an image display area of the display unit in response to the display unit being turned on is equal to a color of the printing layer.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2016Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Jung-ah Seung, Jung-hun Lee, Tae-hyoung Cho, Mi-a Oh, Kyoung-ae Lim, Hyun-il Lee, Sang-woon Jeon

Patent number: 10209864Abstract: An intuitive user interface for clearing or deleting a structured data element is provided. One or more elements in a data structure may be selected and upon selection of a delete option, the contents of the one or more elements may be cleared. One or more animating panels may be provided which contain elements around the cleared elements. A panel may be moved by a gesture-type action to replace cleared elements. The panels may visually indicate which elements may be moved in place of the cleared elements. The user can visualize how elements may be shifted instead of having to understand terminology in a dialog. Selecting outside the panels may cause the panels to disappear, which may be equivalent to a clear action where other elements are not moved into the place of the deleted elements.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2012Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Karen Cheng, Benjamin Edward Rampson, Chad Barry Rothschiller
