| 20110296344 | Apparatus and Method for Digital Content Navigation - An electronic device includes a processor, a memory for storing digital content and a display. The processor forms a content navigation bar for the digital content. The content navigation bar is rendered on the display and includes a first section marker corresponding to a first section of the digital content. A set of page markers corresponds to pages within the first section of the digital content. The set of page markers includes a boundary page marker. A second section marker is adjacent to the boundary page marker. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110292060 | Frame buffer sizing to optimize the performance of on screen graphics in a digital electronic device - In the instant invention an improved method and device is described for utilizing the frame buffer of and electronic device with a display. The frame buffer is enlarged well beyond the dimensions of the display and the user is unable to change which region of the frame buffer is visible on the display. An application of the electronic device is allocated a region for its exclusive use that is within the portion of the frame buffer which is not visible to the user, and draws into it. The application may also take full advantage of accelerated drawing operations offered by the GPU. Compositing may be done by the application or by a window manager between regions of the enlarged frame buffer, visible on-screen, the portion off-screen, or any combination. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110291969 | Apparatus and Method for Right/Left Hand Orientation of a Dual Panel Electronic Device - An electronic device includes a processor, a first touch screen displaying a page for reading and a second touch screen displaying a pad for writing. An object transition module is executed by the processor. The object transition module includes executable instructions to detect a rotational input applied to the pad. The pad is rotated in accordance with the rotational input, while the original orientation of the page is maintained. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110291964 | Apparatus and Method for Gesture Control of a Dual Panel Electronic Device - An electronic device includes a processor, a first touch screen and a second touch screen. The first touch screen displays an object. An object transition module executed by the processor includes executable instructions to map a gesture applied to the object to a set of object movement parameters and then move the object from the first touch screen to the second touch screen in accordance with the object movement parameters. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110291536 | Hinged Dual Panel Electronic Device - A electronic device includes a first housing body with a first hinged end, a first free end, and a first fastening surface between the first hinged end and the first free end. A second housing body has a second hinged end, a second free end, and a second fastening surface between the second hinged end and the second free end. A flexible member is fixed to the first fastening surface and passes though the first hinged end and through the second hinged end for connection to a sliding cartridge that is affixed to the second fastening surface. The sliding cartridge provides substantially constant resistance during 360° rotation between the first housing body and the second housing body. | 12-01-2011 |
