While in the map view selection mode, the device detects a second gesture of a second gesture type at a second location on the touch-sensitive display. The second location corresponds to a respective location on the map. In response to detecting the second gesture at the second location, the device replaces the first map view with a second map view that includes a view of the respective map object from the respective location. | 2015-08-20 |
20150234590 | KEEPING FOCUS DURING DESKTOP REVEAL - Systems and methods are provides for adjusting focus during a desktop reveal. A window has focus before the desktop is revealed. After the window is returned and the desktop hidden, the focus is again placed on the window. Further, a configurable area associated with the screen that displays the window is maintained during the desktop reveal and the return of the window. | 2015-08-20 |
20150234591 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING KEYPAD OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An apparatus and a method for providing a keypad for an electronic device. The method of displaying a keypad of an electronic device includes when the display of a screen is requested, identifying whether a keypad cover is open or closed, in response to the keypad cover closed, displaying a key array on the keypad cover, receiving a touch input detected on the displayed key array, and processing the detected touch input to display the touch input on the screen. The disclosure provides a convenient input scheme by switching screen display modes according to an open/closed state of the keypad cover. | 2015-08-20 |
20150234592 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND DEVICES FOR INPUT OF CHARACTERS WITH OPTIONAL TIME-BASED BUTTON TAPS - Systems, devices and methods are disclosed for input of characters and text with optional time-based button taps. The duration of the activation of a selection button specifies the selected character. In one embodiment, the system enables selection of either of two characters using one selection button based on how long the button was pressed by the user. Each character in an array of a plurality of characters is part of a pair of characters in the array. The system enables selection of any character of the array of characters based on a first character within each pair having an assigned value being a defined amount different than an assigned value of a second character in the pair. Based on received input indicative of the selection button having been activated for a particular duration compared to a threshold duration, the system selects between the assigned value of the first character and the assigned value of the second character within each pair. | 2015-08-20 |
20150234593 | Gestures for Keyboard Switch - In one embodiment, a method includes displaying a first one of a plurality of touch-screen keyboards on a touch-screen display of a computing device; and, in response to a touch gesture, displaying a second one of the keyboards on the touch-screen display in place of the first one of the keyboards. | 2015-08-20 |
20150234594 | DATA INPUT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A TOUCH SENSOR INPUT - A data input system for a touch sensor input identifies words input as a set of points by a user. The intended word is identified by determining an origin and points associated with letters on a log polar coordinate system. The log distances and angles of the points are then compared to log distances and angles for known words stored in a computer memory. The known word having the log distances and angles that most closely match the input points is identified as the intended word. | 2015-08-20 |
20150234595 | STORAGE DEVICE - According to one embodiment, a storage device includes a magnetic disk, a semiconductor memory, and an interface to a host device. The interface is configured to process address information from the host device as address information on the magnetic disk or address information on the semiconductor memory. | 2015-08-20 |
20150234596 | CARD AND HOST DEVICE - A host device is configured to read and write information from and into a card and to supply a supply voltage that belongs to a first voltage range or a second voltage range which is lower than the first voltage range, and issues a voltage identification command to the card. The voltage identification command includes a voltage range identification section, an error detection section, and a check pattern section. The voltage range identification section includes information indicating which one of the first voltage range and the second voltage range the supply voltage belongs. The error detection section has a pattern configured to enable the card which has received the voltage identification command to detect errors in the voltage identification command. The check pattern section has a preset pattern. | 2015-08-20 |
20150234597 | DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM AND DATA PROCESSING METHOD - Embodiments of the present invention provide a data processing system and a data processing method. An MMIO address of a data request is obtained, where data stored in a PCIe storage device can be directly obtained from the MMIO address, and according to the MMIO address, a network adapter can directly read the data from the PCIe storage device of the data processing system, and transmit the data to a second data processing system, or directly write the data received from the second data processing system into the PCIe storage device. Therefore, the processing system can implement transmitting data directly from the PCIe storage device to the network adapter without using memory. During data transmission between the two data processing systems, a usage ratio of a resource, such as memory and a CPU, is reduced, and efficiency of data transmission is improved. | 2015-08-20 |
