  • Patent number: 11881290
    Abstract: To facilitate management of the entirety of one or a plurality of clinical laboratories. This information processing apparatus is used in management of a clinical laboratory in which an analyzer configured to analyze specimens is installed. The information processing apparatus includes: a communication section configured to communicate with a terminal operable by a user; and a controller configured to control display of the terminal via the communication section. On the basis of information collected from a plurality of analyzers installed in one or a plurality of clinical laboratories and from apparatuses relevant to the analyzers, the controller causes the terminal to display a screen including an index that indicates a status of the entirety of the one or the plurality of clinical laboratories. In response to the user selecting the index displayed in the screen, the controller causes the terminal to display the selected index so as to be divided in a plurality of categories.

  • Patent number: 11656732
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing enhanced scaling techniques for display objects are disclosed. When graphical content is created by an application, display objects register with a scaling manager to be notified of display scaling events. These display scaling events can be caused by changing displays, changing resolution or other parameters on a display, changing a text size, resizing one or more graphical elements, or otherwise. When a display scaling event is detected, display objects are notified of the event by the scaling manager. If a given display object makes a decision to change the amount of space it occupies based on the event, the given display object notifies its parent object of the desired change. The parent can then decide whether to allow the change and/or to make adjustments to other display objects to accommodate the change sought by the given display object.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure simplify identification of potential non-visibility of user interface (UI) components when a responsive web page is rendered by disparate devices. In one embodiment, a browser is instructed to display the web page in a viewport of a desired size. Upon the browser rendering the web page in the viewport, a data structure (e.g., DOM) generated by the browser is examined to determine whether each of the components of the responsive web page is visible or non-visible within the viewport, and a corresponding visibility report is generated. The steps of instructing and examining may be performed iteratively for a number of viewports of corresponding sizes. The visibility report is then generated as a two-dimensional matrix indicating whether each component (along a first dimension) is visible or non-visible when the web page is rendered in a corresponding viewport (along a second dimension).

  • Patent number: 9400659
    Abstract: A method includes identifying a first graphical application window and a second graphical application window. The first graphical application window and the second graphical application windows are each associated with separate applications. An attachment relationship may be defined between the first and second graphical application windows. A command may be received to manipulate the first graphical application window. A correlating command then manipulates the second graphical application window according to the attachment relationship between the first window and the second window, such that a spatial relationship between the first and second graphical application windows is maintained.

  • Patent number: 9383909
    Abstract: A display system provides a graphical user interface having a dynamic display field, which is contained within a useable display area. The dynamic display field can have an expanded state and collapsed state, and the current state of the dynamic display field can depend on properties of the useable display area. When collapsed, the dynamic display area has a shared content area and two or more content tags. Each content tag can be active or inactive, and the shared content area shows displayable contents corresponding to active content tags. Tags are activated and deactivated based on user selections. When expanded, the dynamic display field includes dedicated content areas, where each dedicated content area shows a displayable content. Accordingly, when the useable display space allows, the dynamic display field can automatically transition to the expanded state, thereby enabling a greater amount of content to be displayed at a time.

  • Patent number: 9298595
    Abstract: A new method and computer program for evaluating page resizing of a web browser. A web page with a test area having test elements is created. Then, the web page is displayed by the web browser and locations of at least two original edge points for each of the test elements are determined. After this, the test area within the web page is resized and displayed with the resized test area. Then, a further determination step is performed for each resized test element in the displayed web page, whereby locations of at least two respective resized edge points of the test element are determined. After obtaining these locations, comparisons between the locations of the at least two original edge points and the locations of the at least two respective resized edge points are made.

  • Patent number: 9298474
    Abstract: A method and system for managing overlapping windows on a computer screen of a computer system. A hook filter intercepts an event that has occurred. An association of the hook filter with the event was established prior to the occurrence of the event. The event is characterized by an overlapping condition in which a floating window partially or totally overlaps an active window on the computer screen. A software application is associated with the active window. Response to intercepting the event, the hook filter detects the overlapping condition. Response to detecting the overlapping condition, the hook filter eliminates the overlapping condition to make the active window totally visible.

    Abstract: Screen magnification software on a touchscreen device detects when a low-vision user reaches the boundary of a magnified viewport. If additional canvas or menus lay on the other side of the boundary the present invention enables the low-vision user to maintain the same exploration gesture on the touchscreen while causing the underlying canvas to scroll into view in the direction of the gesture. This invention enables the low-vision user to navigate about the entire underlying canvas of a touchscreen graphic user interface with a single, intuitive touchscreen gesture even under magnification.
