The selectable button is configured to execute a predicted command that corresponds to one of a contextual command of the floating menu or a submenu command of the submenu. | 2015-12-31 |
20150378601 | Touch-Sensitive Display Method and Apparatus - An example method includes associating a first area of a non-display area of a touch-sensitive display with a first control, wherein a touch associated with the first control results in moving an indicator through the information in a first direction and in a second direction. The method may also include associating a second area of the non-display area with a second control, wherein a touch associated with the second control results in moving the indicator through the information in the first direction and in the second direction. The method may also include detecting a first touch associated with the first control, in response to detecting the first touch, moving the indicator in the first direction, detecting a second touch associated with the second control, and in response to detecting the second touch, moving the indicator in the first direction. | 2015-12-31 |
20150378602 | DEVICE, METHOD, AND GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR ENTERING CHARACTERS - A device with a display and a touch-sensitive keyboard with one or more character keys: displays a text entry area; detects a first input on the touch-sensitive keyboard; in accordance with a determination that the first input corresponds to activation of a character key, enters a first character corresponding to the character key into the text entry area; in accordance with a determination that the first input corresponds to a character drawn on the touch-sensitive keyboard: determines one or more candidate characters for the drawn character, and displays a candidate character selection interface that includes at least one of the candidate characters; while displaying the candidate character selection interface, detects a second input that selects a respective candidate character within the candidate character selection interface; and in response to detecting the second input, enters the selected respective candidate character into the text entry area. | 2015-12-31 |
20150378603 | INTEGRATED CONTROLLER FOR TRAINING MEMORY PHYSICAL LAYER INTERFACE - A controller integrated in a memory physical layer interface (PHY) can be used to control training used to configure the memory PHY for communication with an associated external memory such as a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), thereby removing the need to provide training sequences over a data pipeline between a BIOS and the memory PHY. For example, a controller integrated in the memory PHY can control read training and write training of the memory PHY for communication with the external memory based on a training algorithm. The training algorithm may be a seedless training algorithm that converges on a solution for a timing delay and a voltage offset between the memory PHY and the external memory without receiving, from a basic input/output system (BIOS), seed information that characterizes a signal path traversed by training sequences or commands generated by the training algorithm. | 2015-12-31 |
20150378604 | COMPUTER SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD FOR COMPUTER SYSTEM - A computer system comprises a computer sub-system. The computer sub-system includes a physical resource, on which both a virtual server as a virtual server apparatus and a virtual storage as a virtual storage apparatus are based. That is, a part of the physical resource is assigned to the virtual server, and another part of the physical resource is assigned to the virtual storage. Any part of the physical resource may be assigned to either of the virtual server and the virtual storage. | 2015-12-31 |
