20120287071 | USER INPUT - Apparatus, a method and a computer program are provided. The apparatus includes: at least one processor; and at least one memory storing computer program instructions, the at least one processor being configured to execute the computer program instructions to cause the apparatus at least to perform: controlling a touch sensitive display to display a first graphical item at a first position and a second graphical item at a second position, the second graphical item being separated from the first graphical item by a first distance; detecting a first user digit at the first position and a second user digit at the second position; reducing the first distance by moving at least one of the first and second graphical items across the touch sensitive display, in response to detecting movement, across the touch sensitive display, of at least one of the first and second user digits; and controlling the touch sensitive display to display a third graphical item, after determining the first distance has been reduced such that the first graphical item is proximate the second graphical item. | 11-15-2012 |
20120299860 | USER INPUT - An apparatus, a method and a computer program is provided. The apparatus comprises at least one processor; and at least one memory storing computer program instructions, the at least one processor being configured to execute the computer program instructions to cause the apparatus at least to perform: processing an input pattern, detected at an instance in time by a touch sensitive display, to discriminate between a fingertip input pattern and an elongate input pattern; performing a first action after discriminating that the input pattern corresponds with the fingertip input pattern; and performing a second action after discriminating that the input pattern corresponds with the elongate input pattern, wherein the second action is different to the first action. | 11-29-2012 |
20120317515 | USER INTERFACE - An apparatus, a method, a computer program and a graphical user interface is provided. The apparatus comprises at least one processor; and at least one memory storing computer program instructions, the at least one processor being configured to execute the computer program instructions to cause the apparatus at least to perform: controlling a display to display one or more graphical items from a first layer of a hierarchical menu system; in response to user selection of a first graphical item from the first layer of the hierarchical menu system, entering a second layer of the hierarchical menu system, wherein entering the second layer of the hierarchical menu system comprises displaying one or more further graphical items, from the second layer of the hierarchical menu system, associated with the first graphical item; detecting a change in inclination of the apparatus, while the one or more graphical items from the first layer of the hierarchical menu system are displayed on the display; and controlling, after detecting the change in inclination of the apparatus, the display to display a preview comprising the one or more further graphical items, associated with the first graphical item, from the second layer of the hierarchical menu system. | 12-13-2012 |
20140156648 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING INTEGRATED SEARCH AND WEB BROWSING HISTORY - An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided for creating and displaying an integrated search and web browser history to a user. In particular, the apparatus includes a processor and a memory including computer program code, and the memory and computer program code are configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to receive search data provided to a website and navigational data relating to a webpage. The apparatus may determine a relationship between the search data and the navigational data and may further provide for a graphical representation of the search data, the navigational data, and the relationship between the search and navigational data to be displayed to the user. Thus, the user can have not only a record of the webpages accessed or search terms used in the previous search, but also a meaningful organization and contextual representation of the search. | 06-05-2014 |
