20120210259 | Techniques to Modify Content and View Content on Mobile Devices - A computer-based method for rendering modified graphical content is disclosed. The graphical content includes a plurality of cells. The method includes receiving the graphical content with metadata modifying the graphical content, rendering the graphical content upon a screen according to the metadata, and receiving user input. The method also includes in response to the user input, progressing through at least a subset of the cells, wherein the progressing includes moving a camera view from cell to cell in the at least a subset, each of the cells in the at least a subset being displayed as a focus point with surrounding area being adjusted in opacity according to the metadata. | 08-16-2012 |
20120210260 | Techniques Providing Spatial Consistency of Graphical Elements - A computer-implemented method is described. The method is performed upon a multi-orientation display device and includes displaying a plurality of graphical elements within a User Interface (UI) upon the display device, where the plurality of graphical elements have a respective first aspect ratio, reorienting the UI with respect to the display device, and adjusting the plurality of graphical elements to have a respective second aspect ratio in response to the reorienting. | 08-16-2012 |
20120254745 | Systems, Methods, and Computer Program Products Providing an Integrated User Interface for Reading Content - A method performed by a portable, processor-based device with a display screen is disclosed. The method includes rendering a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on the display screen. The GUI includes a first scrollable column with a plurality of graphical elements arranged sequentially within the first column, each graphical element of the plurality of graphical elements associated with at least one article of a plurality of articles. The GUI also includes a second scrollable column with a plurality of independent text portions, each of the text portions corresponding to a respective article. The method further includes coordinating the first and second scrollable columns so that when a first article is selected a first text portion associated with the first article is displayed on the display screen, and a first graphical element associated with the first article is displayed next to the first text portion. | 10-04-2012 |
20120293439 | MONITORING POINTER TRAJECTORY AND MODIFYING DISPLAY INTERFACE - Apparatus and methods for improving touch-screen interface usability and accuracy by determining the trajectory of a pointer as it approaches the touch-screen and modifying the touch-screen display accordingly. The system may predict an object on the display the user is likely to select next. The system may designate this object as a Designated Target Object, or DTO.

20130191219 | System and Method for User Generated Content in Media Advertisements - Allowing an app having access to hidden resources on a device to present third party media to the device user via that app such that requests included in the third party media which require access to hidden resources can be fulfilled without requiring further permission by the user. In one embodiment, a third party advertisement is presented to a user via an app that has been enabled by the user. The enabled app is pre-approved by the user, and by any authorizing organization, to access hidden resources, such as camera, recorder, and personal data. In this manner, third party requests that require access to such hidden data can control such access without requiring further action by the user. | 07-25-2013 |
20140267198 | Systems and Methods for Adaptive Third Party Content - Systems and methods which allow for third party displayed content, which is displayed with primary content, to adapt in response to a change in permitted display space are provided for herein. In some embodiments, third party content may include a plurality of elements where the elements are provided with a different priority ranking. In such examples, in the event that an available display area is reduced, elements with lower priority levels may be reduced at a faster rate with respect to elements of higher levels. Conversely, in the event that an available display area is enlarged, elements with higher priority levels may be enlarged at a faster rate with respect to elements of lower priority levels. | 09-18-2014 |
