When a first touch is detected in the central region of the radial UI, an indication of a radial position responsive to a second touch on the touch sensitive screen may be determined. A value corresponding to the radial position of the second touch may then be input to an application being executed on the device. The first and second touches may be two separate finger taps, or may be sequential portions of a continuous stroke that occurs along one of the plurality of radial regions. | 2014-10-02 |
20140298238 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - The present invention enables a user to perform an operation of closing a software keyboard displayed on a display unit by an operation to a predetermined input item with use of a hardware keyboard. A method for controlling an information processing apparatus includes receiving an input to a predetermined input item via a software keyboard displayed on a display unit, receiving an input to the predetermined input item via a hardware keyboard connected to the information processing apparatus, inputting a character to the predetermined input item according to the key input received via the software keyboard or the hardware keyboard, and closing a display of the software keyboard displayed on the display unit if the input to the predetermined input item which is received via the hardware keyboard satisfies a predetermined condition during the display of the software keyboard. | 2014-10-02 |
20140298239 | STACK STYLE TAB MANAGEMENT - The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a computer-implemented method for managing tabs in a graphical user interface. The method includes receiving a first user input that selects a first tab from among multiple collapsible tabs in a tab area of a tabbed interface. The method further includes determining that the first user input occurs for at least a threshold amount of time. The method further includes expanding the first tab from a collapsed state to an expanded state in response to determining that the first user input occurs for at least the threshold amount of time. The method further includes collapsing a second tab, from among the multiple collapsible tabs, from the expanded state to the collapsed state in response to determining that the first user input occurs for at least the threshold amount of time. | 2014-10-02 |
20140298240 | MEGA LENS STYLE TAB MANAGEMENT - The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a computer-implemented method for managing tabs in a graphical user interface. The method includes receiving a first user input that selects a first tab from among a plurality of tabs in a tab area of a tabbed interface. The method further includes expanding a dimension of the first tab and each of a first subset of tabs, from among and including fewer than all of the plurality of tabs, around the first tab in response to receiving the first user input. | 2014-10-02 |
