20090140891 | LIGHT-SENSITIVE KEYBOARD - Certain embodiments of the invention provide a keyboard apparatus that may include an array of keys including a modifier key associated with one or more modifiable keys. Each modifiable key may include a main label and a secondary label. The secondary label may represent a function accessible by activating the modifiable key in combination with the modifier key. Further, the secondary label may include a light-reactive material visible only upon irradiation with light having a certain predefined wavelength. A light-emitting device may direct light having the predefined wavelength towards the array. A control element, however, may activate the light-emitting device only upon activation of the modifier key. In this manner, the light-emitting device may selectively illuminate the secondary label to assist a user in identifying and accessing the same. | 06-04-2009 |
20110119636 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO IMPROVE GUI USE EFFICIENCY - A method and system to facilitate manipulation of the pointer on a screen displaying application windows when the applications use logical barriers to block the movement of the pointer in a window area. The GUI computes new pointer coordinates on the screen of an application window. In the case where the pointing device movement requires a crossing of a logical barrier implemented by the application, if the pointing device is in ‘flying mode’ the GUI of the invention authorizes the pointer to directly cross the barrier. If the pointing device is in ‘crawling mode’ the GUI does not authorize the barrier to be crossed and the pointer is blocked by the barrier. | 05-19-2011 |
20110137912 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DOCUMENTS RETRIEVAL - The invention provides a system and method for retrieving documents from a collection of documents that match a word search query. A word index is generated for each document in which each entry is an enriched-term string built from the stemmed form of the word to be searched and a separator character followed by the original form of the word to be searched. During a retrieving operation, a search query is processed depending the original form or the stemmed form of a word to be searched. Cross-documents tables are addressed to find documents that match the enriched-term string of the word to be searched. | 06-09-2011 |
20140198177 | REALTIME PHOTO RETOUCHING OF LIVE VIDEO - Provided are techniques for processing a subset of a plurality of video frames to produce a 3D model of a particular element within each frame of the subset; processing the plurality of video frames to identify a particular feature within the particular element in each frame of the plurality of frames in which the particular feature appears to produce a plurality of instances of the element, each instance of the plurality of instances associated with a corresponding frame of the plurality of frames; modifying each instance of the plurality of instances in accordance with use parameters and in conformity with the 3D model to generate a plurality of modified instances; and replacing each instance of the plurality of instances with a corresponding modified instance in the corresponding frame of the plurality of frames to produce a modified video file. | 07-17-2014 |
