Abstract: A search system interface is described. Known search system interfaces are largely unable to find composite articles on the basis of a description of the distribution of content types within them. A problem with providing such a search interface is the laboriousness of generating a suitable query. To address this problem, a display is provided with a key showing content types and associated map symbols. Also provided on the display is a search mapping area, which takes advantage of the fact that parts of text documents, and many other types of searchable items, can be referenced by one or more ordinal values, by having an easily perceivable relationship between position in the search mapping area and position within a target document.

The range of the depth direction in which the objects are displayed is set to a first range in the center region and to a second range narrower than the first range in the peripheral region.

Abstract: Feedback is provided to a user based on a setting for a set of energy consuming devices. While a user modifies a thermostat's schedule or provides user commands to adjust a setting for the set of energy consuming devices, a user interface component generates feedback to the consumer in response to an adjusted setting based on a condition for a predetermined function. A positive feedback component generates a positive feedback, such as a positive image in the user interface if the setting meets or exceeds a recommended performance metric for an operational parameter for the set of energy consuming devices. A negative feedback component generates a negative feedback, such as a negative image if the setting meets or exceeds a second condition, such as a discouraged performance metric.

Abstract: To display an image list stored in a memory with good visibility and to display the image list at a high speed, an image display device reads an image file in an Exif format, extracts a thumbnail image included in the image file in the Exif format, and generates a displayed image having a predetermined size and a square shape, thus displaying it in the image list. It is possible to improve visibility in displaying the image file aligning square-shaped displayed image having the same size while precluding blanks. It is possible to perform high-speed processing in producing an image list using thumbnail images included in image files in the Exif format.
