20090006353 | Method and Apparatus for Selecting Items from a Number of Items - Techniques are presented for selecting one or more items from a collection of items. To select the one or more items, an interface is provided that is adapted to allow a user to define one or more weights. Each weight corresponds to one of a number of similarity criteria. Each item also corresponds to the number of similarity criteria. The one or more weights define a similarity function. The similarity function is applied to the one or more similarity criteria corresponding to the one or more weights and to each of the items in order to select one or more items from the collection of items. The interface can comprise movable markers corresponding to similarity criteria. Locations of the movable markers can be used to weight similarity criteria when creating the similarity function. | 01-01-2009 |
20120092966 | CLOCK DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING A CLOCK DEVICE - The present invention relates to a clock device and a method for processing a clock device, wherein the clock device comprises a control unit which operates a display unit in a first operating mode or in a second operating mode, wherein the display unit displays the exact current time in the second operating mode and fades out the exact current time in the first operating mode. | 04-19-2012 |

20090128498 | MULTI-LAYERED DISPLAY OF A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE - A graphical user interface for a display uses 3-D sensing in order to manipulate various functions. In particular, instead of a menu being constantly on the display screen occupying space, when the finger of a user is at a certain distance from the screen, the menu then appears. By moving his/her finger in the X and/or Y direction, the user can make a selection from the displayed menu options. This method and GUI does not discriminate a certain part of the screen with less accessibility. Rather, the menu appears immediately in reaction to the user action, and the menu appears at the point of user input. | 05-21-2009 |

20110148796 | Use of a Two Finger Input on Touch Screens - A system and method for detecting at least two-finger input on a touch screen of a display such as computer, etc. includes a display screen; a sensing grid arranged for sensing touch on said display screen; a plurality of electrodes connected electrically to the sensing grid. A controller receives an output from the sensing grid, and a module identifies at least two points on the grid indicating locations of the display screen that have been touched by a user and identifies a geographic portion of the display screen to be identified based on said at least two points. As the position of the fingers are relative to the position of the screen via change in a direction of a Z-coordinate, a variable zoom can be provided by the sensing grid commensurate with different distances that the multiple fingers are sensed from the display screen. | 06-23-2011 |
20130278527 | USE OF A TWO FINGER INPUT ON TOUCH SCREENS - A system and method for detecting at least two-finger input on a touch screen of a display such as computer, etc. includes a display screen; a sensing grid arranged for sensing touch on said display screen; a plurality of electrodes connected electrically to the sensing grid. A controller receives an output from the sensing grid, and a module identifies at least two points on the grid indicating locations of the display screen that have been touched by a user and identifies a geographic portion of the display screen to be identified based on said at least two points. As the position of the fingers are relative to the position of the screen via change in a direction of a Z-coordinate, a variable zoom can be provided by the sensing grid commensurate with different distances that the multiple fingers are sensed from the display screen. | 10-24-2013 |

20080259043 | Device Capable of Being Operated Within a Network, Network System, Method of Operating a Device Within a Network, Program Element, and Computer-Readable Medium - A device (A) is described, which is capable of being operated within a network comprising a touch interface ( | 10-23-2008 |
20080260176 | System and Method For Controlling a Device Using Position and Touch - Disclosed is a system for controlling a device comprising at least one earpiece for selecting/rendering media content, wherein a first earpiece includes a first input controller for receiving input to control the selecting/rendering, a first position controller for detecting whether the first earpiece is in/on the ear and receiving input to control the selecting/rendering of the media content, wherein the system is arranged to use a position detection from the first position controller or a combination of a position detection from the first position controller and an input from the first input controller to enable control of the media content selecting/rendering. | 10-23-2008 |
20080275867 | System and Method for Presenting Content to a User - Assisting a user in locating particular content of interest from a collection of content including associated feature values and corresponding features. A user selects one of the plurality of feature values characterizing the collection of content and filters the content using the selected filtering feature value. The system groups the filtered collection using a grouping feature. The grouping feature may be associated with the user-selected filtering feature value and/or may be determined from the feature values of the filtered collection. The process of filtering/grouping may be repeated as many times as needed to locate the particular content of interest. | 11-06-2008 |
20080284799 | Discontinous Zoom - In a method and apparatus for zooming on a display device, instead of zooming just on the pixels in the display, zooming is effected on discernable objects comprising pixel in the displayed image. Initially, spaces between the discernable objects is reduced, and then the discernable objects are increased in size until the objects reach a minimum surface area, which is the minimum size, based on the size and resolution of the display, recognizable by a user. Zooming is then suspended until the user selects one of the objects. Zooming is then allowed to continue on only the selected object until the maximum zooming factor is reached. | 11-20-2008 |
20080288895 | Touch-Down Feed-Forward in 30D Touch Interaction - A 3-D display device in which zooming is controlled based on the distance that a user's finger is from the display screen, generates a virtual drop shadow of the user's finger at the detected X/Y position of the user's finger with respect to the display screen. The virtual drop shadow represents the center of the zooming of the display image. In addition the size and darkness of the drop shadow is changed relative to the distance that the user's finger is from the display screen. | 11-20-2008 |
