Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for showing a user interface element. SOLUTION: The method includes: receiving user input requesting display of information associated with the user interface elements displayed on a page; analyzing the page for determining the information associated with the user interface elements; and outputting the information associated with a plurality of user interface elements for concurrent display on the page with each other and with the user interface elements. Additional systems, methods, and computer programs are also presented. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple method for enabling a user to quickly access a desired task. SOLUTION: The method includes detecting textual input from a user and determining a position of a cursor associated with user input on an electronic page. In addition, the method includes selecting entries on the basis of textual input and the position of the cursor. Also, the method includes generating a task list having the selected entries and outputting the task list to a graphical display device. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
User input is received to cause a search graphical user interface (GUI) element to move within a GUI having areas that each correspond to a content type. The given area over which the search GUI element has been moved is determined. The search GUI element is adapted so that a search performable via the search GUI element is restricted in scope to the content type of the given area. The GUI may be a web page of a web site. The search GUI element may be a search box. The area and/or the search GUI element may be graphically modified to provide visual feedback as to the content type of the given area to which the search is restricted in scope.
Abstract:
A method, system and computer program for the Interactive analysis of data objects within a display enables values of icons to be compared to a selected reference icon by changes in the shading of the icons relative to the reference icon. Similar shaded icons represent a similar value and differently shaded icons represent a different value compared to the selected reference icon. A key is provided to enable the differences in value to be judged and the key may be a spectrum of color about the reference value. Examples described include the comparative rating of restaurants where a restaurant 202j is selected and other icons 202 change shading according to their relative rating value. A legend 220 is provided which gives a key to the shading values. In order to carry out the processing the system includes a display constructor module and an object comparator module. Relational comparisons may be quickly changed by dragging the cursor 210 to different icons. Further examples relate to value comparison visualization for troubleshooting in network topologies where values relate to correlations of patterns and to the geographical display of national statistics.
