| 20090024476 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED GEOGRAPHICALLY-BASED AND TIME-BASED ONLINE ADVERTISING - A method for presenting advertisement images on a display screen, comprising: subdividing a map image into a plurality of geographic regions; associating a first advertisement image with a first region and a second advertisement image with a second region, the first and second regions being ones of the plurality of geographic regions; receiving a signal indicative of a region-of-interest, the region-of-interest being another of the plurality of geographic regions; selecting an advertisement image for the region-of-interest from among the first and second advertisement images; generating a presentation of the region-of-interest, the presentation including a view of the advertisement image; and, displaying the presentation on the display screen. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090147023 | DETAIL-IN-CONTEXT LENSES FOR DIGITAL IMAGE CROPPING AND MEASUREMENT - In one or more implementations, a cropped image is defined within a boundary on an original image displayed on a display. The original image is distorted to give an appearance of a lens being applied to the original image displayed on the display, the appearance of the lens including a focal region and a base region. A graphical user interface (“GUI”) is displayed on the display for adjusting the appearance of the lens. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090172587 | DYNAMIC DETAIL-IN-CONTEXT USER INTERFACE FOR APPLICATION ACCESS AND CONTENT ACCESS ON ELECTRONIC DISPLAYS - A method for presenting applications on a display screen, comprising: displaying a first presentation on the display screen, the first presentation including two or more icons; receiving a signal indicative of an icon, the icon being one of the two or more icons, the icon having an application associated therewith; initiating the application, the application having information associated therewith; generating a second presentation, the second presentation having a first area for presenting the information at least partially surrounded by a second area for presenting reduced-size versions of the two or more icons other than the icon; and, displaying the second presentation on the display screen to replace display of the first presentation. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090265656 | GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE HAVING AN ATTACHED TOOLBAR FOR DRAG AND DROP EDITING IN DETAIL-IN-CONTEXT LENS PRESENTATIONS - Detail-in-context techniques are described. In an implementation, an original image is distorted to produce a distorted region for a selected object at a first position in an original image displayed on a display screen. The distorted region magnifies at least a portion of the object. A signal is received to drag the object and the distorted region from the first position to a second position. A signal is received to drop the object at the second position. The distorted region is removed from the original image after the object is dropped at the second position. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090284542 | LENS-DEFINED ADJUSTMENT OF DISPLAYS - In an implementation, an image is distorted for display on a display device to give an appearance of a lens being applied to the image. A brightness level of the appearance of the lens for display on the display device is adjusted such that the brightness level of the appearance of the lens differs from a brightness level of the portion of the image that surrounds the appearance of the lens. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100026718 | DETAIL-IN-CONTEXT LENSES FOR DIGITAL IMAGE CROPPING, MEASUREMENT AND ONLINE MAPS - In one or more implementations, a signal is received selecting a geographic location in an original image of a digital map for display on a display. The original image is distorted to give an appearance of a lens being applied to the digital map for display on the display, the appearance of the lens including a focal region that includes a magnification of the geographic location and a base region that surrounds the focal region. | 02-04-2010 |
