20140317561 | INTERACTIVE WINDOW - A method performed by a system. The method includes automatically generating an interactive window on at least a portion of a display, the interactive window having a first size corresponding to a first pattern on the display. The method further includes automatically expanding the interactive window to a second size in response to a second pattern on the display to enclose the first pattern and the second pattern in the interactive window. | 2014-10-23 |
20140317562 | PORTABLE TERMINAL AND DRIVING METHOD OF THE SAME - A portable terminal including a touch screen configured to receive a touch input and display an image. The method includes a motion sensing unit configured to sense a motion of the portable terminal; and a controller operatively connected to the motion sensing unit and the touch screen, and configured to: enlarge or reduce a portion of the image on the touch screen, based on the motion sensed by the motion sensing unit while the touch input on the touch screen is maintained. | 2014-10-23 |
20140317563 | GENERATE FIELD MAPPING - In one aspect, source fields in the data format of the source data store are transformed and mapped to a format suitable for the target data store. In the user interface of the mapping application, mapping templates using mapping functions can be defined and generated. Mapping template comprises various restriction conditions to determine compatible source fields from among the source fields in the source data store. Mapping functions in the mapping template enable such automation in determining compatible source fields and applying the mapping function to the determined compatible source fields. | 2014-10-23 |
