20080222570 | Dynamically Rendering Visualizations of Data Sets - Computerized methods and systems for dynamically rendering visual representations of data sets are provided. Upon receiving a request for a particular data set (for instance, in response to receiving a search request), a data set is identified and a minimum portion thereof is retrieved that is necessary to render a visual representation of the data set. In this regard, items sharing a common characteristic may be grouped with one another so that only a single visual identifier of a group of data items may be displayed. In this way, a larger portion of the entire data set may be represented in a single view. | 09-11-2008 |

20090024963 | SCRIPT-INTEGRATED STORYBOARDS - A storyboard presentation is generated by launching a scene design tool that includes actor and camera placement tools. Using the actor and camera placement tools, a first actor icon and a first camera icon are added on a scene layout, the first actor icon representing a first actor that will appear in a scene and the first camera icon representing a first camera that will film the scene. The user is enabled to control a location and orientation of the first actor icon using the actor placement tool and a location and orientation of the first camera icon relative to the first actor icon using the camera placement tool. Based on the location and orientation of the first actor icon and the first camera icon, a first projection of the scene featuring the first actor as seen from the first camera is generated. | 01-22-2009 |
20100306706 | VISUAL-EDITING TOOLBAR MENU WHILE USING TEXT EDITOR - Particular embodiments provide a toolbar menu that includes one or more options that are valid for an object. A hot-key input is received that indicates a request for the toolbar menu. The request may be received while a user is using an application, such as a text editing application. The hot-key may be received from one or more keys on a keyboard and the request is associated with the object, which may be highlighted text. One or more options are determined that are valid for the object. For example, the application may be queried to determine which options are valid for the object. A toolbar menu is then displayed that includes the valid options. A selection from the user of one of the options causes an action for the option to be performed. | 12-02-2010 |
20110138333 | Room User Interface - Disclosed is a method, comprising a) generating a user interface having a background, wherein the background resembles a room, and wherein the user interface includes graphical icons resembling real-world objects; and b) associating each graphical icon with a task, wherein when a graphical icon is selected utilizing a selection technique, the task associated with the selected graphical icon is performed. | 06-09-2011 |
20110145766 | Conveying dense information in an easily consumable format in a visual model - A method and a system for presenting a semantic model. A semantic diagram of the semantic model can be presented on a display, the semantic diagram including at least one graphical image representing a real world device as an element of the semantic model. When the graphical image is selected by a user, a list including at least one semantic qualifier can be presented on the display. A first user selection of a first semantic qualifier can be received. A first qualifier key can be generated. The first qualifier key can associate the first semantic qualifier with the real world device. The first qualifier key can be persisted to a memory device. The first qualifier key can be processed during a validation routine performed on the semantic model. | 06-16-2011 |
20120036483 | DEVICE, METHOD FOR DISPLAYING A CHANGE FROM A FIRST PICTURE TO A SECOND PICTURE ON A DISPLAY, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - A device is described having a memory storing data specifying a change animation between pictures to be displayed successively on the display, a setting circuit configured to store a setting specifying that a change animation between pictures to be displayed successively on the display is to be carried out in accordance with the specification of the change animation given by the data, a display controller configured to control a display to display a first picture, a detector configured to detect an event which triggers that a second picture is to be displayed on the display, a determination circuit configured to read the setting and to determine, based on the setting, a change animation between the first picture and the second picture, wherein the display controller is configured to control the display to display the change animation, and, after the change animation, to display the second picture. | 02-09-2012 |
