20140082544 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD - An electronic apparatus connectable to another electronic apparatus includes an information acquisition unit that acquires operation screen information to display a shared operation screen shared between the electronic apparatus and the other electronic apparatus from the other electronic apparatus, a shared screen display unit that displays the shared operation screen based on the operation screen information that the information acquisition unit acquired, a job execution unit that executes a job based on input to the shared operation screen, an event detector that detects a predetermined event that occurs during the job execution, a display determination unit that determines whether or not a specific screen including information specific to the electronic apparatus model is displayed in response to the detected predetermined event, and a specific screen display unit that changes the displayed shared operation screen into the specific screen if the display determination unit determines that the specific screen is displayed. | 2014-03-20 |
20140082545 | POSTURE-ADAPTIVE SELECTION - In one example a computing device includes at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor may be configured to output for display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys. The at least one processor may be configured to receive an indication of an input detected at a presence-sensitive input device operatively coupled to the computing device; and responsive to receiving the indication, determine an input posture of the input, wherein the input posture represents an orientation of the computing device in relation to an input unit used to provide the input. The at least one processor may be configured to select, based at least in part on the input posture, a spatial model that is used for determining a probability that at least one of the one or more of the plurality of keys has been selected. | 2014-03-20 |
20140082546 | INPUT METHOD, INPUT APPARATUS, AND TERMINAL DEVICE - An input method is provided by embodiments of the present invention, relating to the communications field, and invented to improve the input experience of a user. The input method includes: providing an input interface on a touch display screen, where the input interface includes a virtual soft keyboard distributed in a sector area around a lower left corner or lower right corner of the input interface; receiving an input instruction which is input by a user through the virtual soft keyboard; and displaying input information corresponding to the input instruction. An input apparatus and a terminal device are also provided by embodiments of the present invention. The present invention is applicable to a mobile device or a handheld device. | 2014-03-20 |
20140082547 | THREE-DIMENSIONAL DESKTOP SWITCHING SYSTEM ON HANDHELD APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - For a three-dimensional desktop switching system on a handheld apparatus and a method thereof, a selected program desktop and a selected designated desktop are switched fast through a program desktop selection instruction and a designated desktop selection instruction, so as to reduce the number of times of performing operations and the number of times of performing loading and update during desktop switching, thereby achieving the technical efficacy of fast switching a program desktop and a designated desktop of the handheld apparatus. | 2014-03-20 |
20140082548 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SWITCHING DESKTOPS - In a method for switching desktops of an electronic device, a plurality of desktop application groups and desktops are preset to corresponding preset position ranges. A current position of the electronic device is determined according to acquired position information from a global position system. When the electronic device is located in one of the preset position ranges, the method determines a position range that the current position is in, and determines a desktop application group and a desktop correspondingly. When the determined desktop is different from a current desktop of the electronic device, the method switches the current desktop to the determined desktop, and displays icons of the determined desktop application group on the determined desktop of the electronic device. | 2014-03-20 |
20140082549 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING DISPLAY OF CONTENT IN PASSWORD BOX - An electronic device includes a display unit, an input unit; and a processing unit. The processing unit displays a password box on the display unit in response to user's operation on the input unit. The processing unit further displays a symbol in the password box when a character of a password is input through the input unit. When finishing input of the password, at least two of all the symbols displayed in the password box are different. | 2014-03-20 |
