The electronic device includes a display bracket; a panel provided on the front side of the display bracket and configured to sense a touch input and to provide visual information; an actuator provided on the panel, and configured to provide a haptic signal corresponding to the touch input; an elastic member provided between the panel and the display bracket, and configured to elastically support the panel to float in a state in which the panel is spaced from the display bracket; and a stopper configured to fix the panel, which is lifted and supported by the elastic member, to the display bracket in a floating state. | 12-26-2013 |
20140028614 | PORTABLE TERMINAL HAVING INPUT UNIT AND METHOD OF DRIVING THE INPUT UNIT - Disclosed is a portable terminal including an input unit, which includes a first sensor configured to input a signal to the portable terminal, a second sensor configured to sense an activation signal of the input unit, and an actuator configured to drive the input unit when the activation signal is sensed. | 01-30-2014 |
20140040791 | DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM FOR SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE (SAAS) IN A MULTI-TENANT ENVIRONMENT - Embodiments of the present invention relate to software as a service (SaaS) development in a multi-tenant environment. Specifically, a platform for software as a service (SaaS) application development and customization in a multi-tenant environment is provided. An interface template is defined based on application metadata. Application metadata may comprise and/or be based upon tenant metadata (e.g., via transformation). A desired graphical user interface is rendered based on the interface template. The desired graphical user interface may be edited by the tenant. An SaaS application for the tenant based on the desired graphical user interface is generated. A tenant data service is processed using the SaaS application. The SaaS application is provided to at least one other tenant in the multi-tenant environment. | 02-06-2014 |
20140040861 | METADATA DRIVEN SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE - Embodiments of the present invention provide a metadata-driven software architecture that enables multi-tenant application development. Specifically, an application development architecture is provided including a data table that stores the application-accessible data that maps to all custom objects and their fields, as defined by metadata in objects and fields. Forms, reports, work flows, user access privileges, tenant-specific customizations and business logic, and definitions of underlying data tables and indexes exist as metadata. Application components are generated at runtime using the metadata. | 02-06-2014 |
20140091536 | TOUCH PANEL SEALING APPARATUS - A sealing apparatus of a touch panel provided in a portable terminal including a body and the touch panel, wherein the sealing apparatus is attached and coupled to a coupling area between the body and the touch panel to seal the coupling area while the touch panel is suspended over the body by a resilient member. | 04-03-2014 |
20140136712 | CLOUD RESOURCES AS A SERVICE MULTI-TENANT DATA MODEL - Embodiments of the present invention relate to cloud resources as a service in a multi-tenant data model. Specifically, a system (e.g., server) is configured to connect with any number of tenant devices in a multi-tenant environment. The system provides a set of cloud resources to each tenant including Software as a Service (SaaS) application development and customization. | 05-15-2014 |
