20130080945 | RECONFIGURABLE USER INTERFACE ELEMENTS - Methods and devices for configuring and displaying user interface elements of a multi-display device relative to a device state and/or device orientation. More particularly, the device is equipped with one or more sensors that facilitate the detectability of the relationship of the primary screen to the secondary screen and the general orientation of the device. The method includes accepting a set of user preferences for individual user interface elements for various device states and/or device orientations. The method and device may configure individual windows, per user settings, relative to device state and/or user orientation of the device. The method and device may present, for example, a single set of reconfigurable and/or re-locatable user interface elements in different locations depending on device orientation and/or display mode. Further, the method and device may provide the user the ability to switch both display mode and user interface action simultaneously. | 2013-03-28 |
20130080946 | USING INFORMATION BANNERS TO COMMUNICATE WITH USERS OF ELECTRONIC DICTIONARIES - In one embodiment, computer-implemented systems and methods related to electronic dictionary systems are provided including: storing statistical information representing user interactions with the dictionary system over a period of time and electronically analyzing the statistical information so as to determine a customized message to a user. The customized message may be provided for display as part of a user interface comprising at least one field for entering a dictionary query, at least one field for providing dictionary results, and at least one field for customized user messages. | 2013-03-28 |
20130080947 | MARK-BASED ELECTRONIC CONTAINMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - A mark-based containment system, in one aspect, may include a graphical user interface operable to receive an indication of a mark as a container marking, attribute one or more container attributes to the container marking, and store the container mark and the container attributes associated with the container mark. | 2013-03-28 |
20130080948 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERACTIVE VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF INFORMATION CONTENT USING ASSERTIONS - This application relates to information analysis and more particularly to a system and method for interactive visual representation of information content and relationships using layouts and gestures. A visualization tool is provided which facilitates both ad-hoc and more formal analytical tasks as a flexible and expressive thinking environment. The tool provides a space focused on ‘Human Interaction with Information’ and enabling evidence marshalling. Capabilities of the tool include put-this-there cognition, automatic analysis templates, and gestures for the fluid expression of thought and scalability mechanisms to support large analysis tasks. | 2013-03-28 |
