Patent number: 10095397Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying an interface are provided. A system and method can be configured to display a scrollable viewing region. The viewing region can be a fixed size and the viewing region can facilitate displaying underlying content. Underlying content can be divided into multiple sectioned viewing areas, and each sectioned viewing area can have a corresponding heading. Headings can be docked or undocked. Input corresponding to a scroll movement can be received, and the viewing region can be adjusted according to the scroll movement. Adjusting a viewing region can include shifting the display of the underlying content by docking or undocking headings. Headings can be docked or undocked as they occur in the underlying content.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2013Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: SPLUNK INC.Inventor: Marc Robichaud

Patent number: 10095392Abstract: Selection regions can be recognized from multiple simultaneous inputs. Input selection regions are calculated from simultaneous contacts on a multi-touch input display surface. Computer system users can use natural and/or more intuitive hand gestures to select items on an input/display surface. Selection regions can be dynamically adjusted to in response to detected changes in contact at different locations on a surface. For example, selection region changes can be updated in essentially real-time as fingers are added and moved on the multi-touch input display surface, and as the surface is scrolled. The calculation of selection regions can vary based on an application and/or operating system context.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2016Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventor: John Guido Atkins Weiss

Patent number: 10095383Abstract: A display/input device has a display panel, a touch panel portion, and a control portion. The display panel displays a plurality of item selection screens including selection keys for setting items. The control portion makes the display panel display item selection screens of different pages according to user operation, and recognizes a fixed key, which is a selection key on which a fixing operation has been made. When a first determination operation is done when the fixing operation is undone, the control portion makes the display panel display the item selection screen that includes the selection keys that were being displayed when the fixing operation was undone. When a second determination operation is done when the fixing operation is undone, the control portion makes the display panel display the item selection screen in which the fixing operation was made.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2015Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventor: Keita Miyamoto

Patent number: 10089372Abstract: A visualization engine may provide, on a screen, a visual display of an object, the object being associated with object data having a data display size smaller than a visual threshold and therefore not displayed on the screen. The visualization engine may include a request handler configured to receive a magnification request to magnify the object at a magnification speed, a threshold manager configured to determine a data threshold at which fetching of the object data must be initiated to ensure receipt thereof prior to the visual threshold being reached, and an object comparator configured to initiate fetching of the object data, based on the visual threshold, the data threshold, and the magnification speed. The visualization engine may then display the object data within the object upon magnification of the object meeting the visual threshold.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2014Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: SAP SEInventor: Horst Werner

Patent number: 10019146Abstract: The described technology is directed towards scrollable user interface containers, and allows mixing snap items and smooth items in the same container. Snap point ranges that correspond to container snap items are specified, such as by pixel values or per container item to be rendered. When because of a scroll operation a snap item of the container overlaps a boundary of a viewing port (e.g., if rendered), the scroll position is adjusted based upon a snap point range limit to snap the snap item for rendering based upon the viewing port boundary.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2015Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: HOME BOX OFFICE, INC.Inventor: Brendan Joseph Clark
