20150121296 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING AN INPUT OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A method and an apparatus for processing an input of an electronic device are provided. The method includes displaying an object screen; buffering an object at a position where a proximity input is detected, when the proximity input is detected; and, executing the buffered object collectively and displaying an execution screen when a touch input is detected on the object on which the proximity input occurs. | 2015-04-30 |
20150121297 | Flipping Through Content - Systems and methods for enabling users to rapidly flip through displayed pages of content in an intuitive manner are provided. Graphical animations for transitioning from one page to another can be executed so that portions of three or more pages can be simultaneously viewed. This enables a user to make snap judgments as to whether she wishes to explore any one of those pages in more detail as she rapidly flips through the pages. | 2015-04-30 |
20150121298 | MULTI-TOUCH NAVIGATION OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL OBJECT HIERARCHIES - Accessing objects on a multi-touch screen includes presenting, on the multi-touch screen, a first set of items corresponding to a subset of the objects that is less than all of the objects, where the multi-touch screen has a first direction and has a second direction that is substantially orthogonal to the first direction and includes a user causing a second set of items, corresponding to a different subset of the objects than the first set, to become viewable on the multi-touch screen using gestures corresponding to the first and second directions, where at least some of the gestures corresponding to the first direction are different than gestures corresponding to the second direction. The items may correspond to at least one attribute of at least some of the objects. Presenting a first subset of items may include showing icons, windows, markers, and/or shapes. | 2015-04-30 |
20150121299 | PROVIDING A USER INTERFACE FOR CUSTOMIZING STATE TRANSITIONS OF PANES IN A BOUNDING WINDOW - Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for providing a user interface customizable to define state transitions of panes in a bounding window. For example, a bounding window including one or more resizable panes is displayed in a user interface on a display device. Breakpoints situated at respective spatial positions in the bounding window are graphically represented in the user interface. Each breakpoint defines a transition of a pane from one state to another when the pane is resized to traverse the breakpoint. The spatial position of one or more of the breakpoints can be updated in accordance with a request indicating user customization of breakpoints. | 2015-04-30 |
