| 20160086516 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACCESSIBLE WIDGET SELECTION - Methods and systems are disclosed for enabling item selection in a widget. An example method comprises receiving at an electronic device, from a server, code instructing the electronic device to display a widget having a grid comprising one or more cells configured for point-and-click selection. The method further comprises displaying the grid in accordance with the received code and sending information associated with a currently selected cell to an assistive system on the electronic device. The method further comprises configuring the electronic device for keystroke operation of the widget. The method further comprises identifying a non-entry keystroke, and in response, determining a new cell associated with the grid, selecting the new cell, and sending information associated with the new cell to the assistive system for output to the user. The method further comprises identifying an entry keystroke and, responsive thereto, sending information associated with the new cell to the server. | 03-24-2016 |
| 20160091982 | MECHANISM TO PROVIDE VISUAL FEEDBACK REGARDING COMPUTING SYSTEM COMMAND GESTURES - A mechanism to provide visual feedback regarding computing system command gestures. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a sensing element to sense a presence or movement of a user of the apparatus, a processor, wherein operation of the processor includes interpretation of command gestures of a user to provide input to the apparatus; and a display screen, the apparatus to display one or more icons on the display screen, the one or more icons being related to the operation of the apparatus. The apparatus is to display visual feedback for a user of the apparatus, visual feedback including a representation of one or both hands of the user while the one or both hands are within a sensing area for the sensing element. | 03-31-2016 |
| 20160103596 | CHROMATOGRAPHY CONFIGURATION INTERFACE - Systems and methods that facilitate the setup and visualization of a configurable process, for example a chromatography experiment to be conducted using a configurable chromatography system. A user interface displays category regions representing sections of a process, and displays a plurality of selectable items representing components appropriate for placement in the category regions. A user interface control causes selection of one of the selectable items and placement of the selected item into one of the category regions, to define a selected process configuration. The user interface control may be a scrolling control that causes a set of selectable items appropriate for placement in the respective category region to scroll through the category region. When the computer displaying the user interface is also connected to the system being configured, the user interface may also facilitate setup, monitoring, and control of the resulting process. | 04-14-2016 |
| 20160110206 | DISPLAY APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF - A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes a communicator configured to perform communication with a remote control apparatus having a touch pad, a display configured to display a first GUI corresponding to a touch input on the touch pad, and a controller configured to, in response to receiving location information of the touch input, provide a visual feedback via the first GUI to guide an executable touch interaction at a corresponding touch location based on the received location information. | 04-21-2016 |
| 20160117060 | METHOD AND CONTROL APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING USER INTERFACE - A method and a control apparatus for providing a user interface are provided. The control apparatus includes an operating unit, a display that is configured to display user interface, and a controller. The controller is configured to detect an erroneous operation of the operating unit based on respective menus that are included in the user interface. In addition, the controller is configured to operate the display to display guide information for guiding an operation method of the operating unit with respect to a menu with the detected erroneous operation. | 04-28-2016 |
| 20160132218 | Push-Pull Type Gestures - Techniques for push-pull type gestures are described. In embodiments, a push gesture away from a cursor object that is displayed by a display device is recognized. An assisted location object is then displayed to assist a user in repositioning the cursor object based on the push gesture. In implementations, a prompt gesture is recognized effective to cause a prompt object having one or more options to be displayed. The options that are displayed are selectable to initiate a function that is operable using the cursor object. In addition, a motion select gesture that selects one of the options is recognized effective to replace the prompt object and initiate a function corresponding to the selected option. Also, selected text is automatically divided into a plurality of vertical sections that are individually selectable to include or exclude when performing a subsequent function, and then the subsequent function is performed. | 05-12-2016 |
