Orientation-Dependent Processing Of Input Files By An Electronic Device

US Patent:
2013003, Feb 7, 2013
Filed:
Aug 26, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/218726
Inventors:
Thomas Jan STOVICEK - San Francisco CA, US
Matthew Nicholaos STAIKOS - Toronto, CA
Donald James LINDSAY - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
RESEARCH IN MOTION LIMITED - Waterloo
International Classification:
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345649
Abstract:
An electronic device may have a display screen usable in at least two orientations, such as landscape orientation and portrait orientation. Provided in this disclosure is selective rendering of a structured document according to the orientation of the display screen. A structured document such as as webpage is rendered (as a first rendered document) for display according to the document object model structure and optionally styles provided with the webpage. The same webpage is rendered (as a second rendered document) by removing or replacing selected objets in the document object model structure, or by applying different style directives than included in the originally received webpage. When the display screen is in a first orientation, the first rendered document is displayed. When a change in orientation of the display screen to the second orientation is detected, the second rendered document is displayed.

Scrollable Area Multi-Scale Viewing

US Patent:
2012007, Mar 22, 2012
Filed:
Nov 28, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/305083
Inventors:
Gary Flake - Bellevue WA, US
Donald James Lindsay - Mountain View CA, US
Jeffrey Jon Weir - Seattle WA, US
Brett Brewer - Sammamish WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 3/048
US Classification:
715786
Abstract:
Utilizing a scrollbar handle for both zooming and panning a display comprising items in a user interface may be accomplished by monitoring an input device's interaction with the scrollbar handle. If the scroll handle is dragged in a direction away from an orientation of the scroll handle in the scrollbar, a display area zoom function can be activated. The zoom function allows a viewbox, comprising content, to be rescaled as a function of the distance the scroll handle is dragged. A displaybox can be created that distinguishes an area of the viewbox from the remainder of the display, which corresponds to content in the viewbox that would be displayed in normal zoom if the scroll handle were released at that location. Further, upon detecting that the scroll handle is released, the display area can zoom to a view of the content inside the distinguished area.

Zoom For Annotatable Margins

US Patent:
2009025, Oct 8, 2009
Filed:
Apr 3, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/062294
Inventors:
Karim Farouki - Seattle WA, US
Blaise Aguera y Arcas - Seattle WA, US
Brett D. Brewer - Sammamish WA, US
Anthony T. Chor - Bellevue WA, US
Steven Drucker - Bellevue WA, US
Gary W. Flake - Bellevue WA, US
Stephen L. Lawler - Redmond WA, US
Ariel J. Lazier - Seattle WA, US
Donald James Lindsay - Mountain View CA, US
Richard Stephen Szeliski - Bellevue WA, US
Assignee:
MICROSOFT CORPORATION - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 3/048
US Classification:
715853
Abstract:
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates interacting with a portion of data that includes pyramidal volumes of data. A portion of image data can represent a computer displayable multiscale image with at least two substantially parallel planes of view in which a first plane and a second plane are alternatively displayable based upon a level of zoom and which are related by a pyramidal volume, wherein the multiscale image includes a pixel at a vertex of the pyramidal volume. An edit component can receive and incorporate an annotation to the multiscale image corresponding to at least one of the two substantially parallel planes of view. A display engine can display the annotation on the multiscale image based upon navigation to the parallel plane of view corresponding to such annotation.

Assignee:
RESEARCH IN MOTION LIMITED - Waterloo
International Classification:
G06F 3/041, G06F 3/01
US Classification:
345173, 345156
Abstract:
A method includes, while a portable electronic device including a display is in a low-power condition, detecting, by the portable electronic device, a gesture and identifying any informational icons to be displayed. The display is progressively illuminated while displaying the identified informational icons. Progressive illumination optionally occurs as long as the gesture is detected.

Graphical User Interface For Computers Having Variable Size Icons

US Patent:
7216304, May 8, 2007
Filed:
Jan 5, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/478006
Inventors:
Arnaud Gourdol - Sunnyvale CA, US
Donald J. Lindsay - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
G06F 3/00
US Classification:
715835, 715744, 715763, 715781, 715810
Abstract:
A computer user interface is provided which allows a user to adjust the size of icons based upon a user's preference or based upon a characteristic of the objects that the icons represent. When the icon sizing is performed according to a user preference, a relative sizing scheme or an arbitrary icon sizing scheme can be employed to variably size icons. Providing the ability to size icons in such a manner allows users to represent a user's categorization of object importance, for example.

Abstract:
A method referred to as x-ray browsing for allowing a user to browse through windows on their desktop is provided. Aspects of the invention include responsive to a command, making a first window the window in focus on the display screen and changing the relative opacities between a content portion of the first window and a content portion of the second window. By controlling the opacities a single window can be made opaque while the remaining windows can be made transparent to allow a user to successively navigate among open windows.
