An information processing apparatus includes circuitry; and a memory storing computer-executable instructions that cause the circuitry to execute displaying, on a touch panel, a cancel button for canceling disablement of input reception of the touch panel; measuring a depression time during which the cancel button is pressed by a user; detecting a depression position at which the cancel button is pressed by the user; and cancelling the disablement in response to detecting that the depression time is longer than a cancel depression time defined in advance and that the depression position is continuously located at the same position.

A display apparatus that displays log data which indicates when the log data deviates from a normal state and a deviation degree is provided. The display apparatus comprises: a memory to store prediction data including a signal value of a prediction value of the log data and accuracy degree of the prediction value, and a signal value of an actual measurement value of the log data; a control unit to generate a display screen on which a prediction value area indicating an area of the log data in normal state is depicted based on the prediction data and on which a signal wavelength of the signal value of the actual measurement value is depicted based on the signal value of the actual measurement value; and a display unit to display the display screen.

Methods, systems, and storage media are provided for accessibility services to assist users with disabilities in using touch-based interfaces and graphical user interfaces (GUIs). A client system generates and renders a GUI of a client application that comprises one or more graphical objects. The client system operates a service to identify graphical objects that refer or link to advertisements or other third party resources. The service applies a protective measure to the identified graphical objects, which prevent user inputs (e.g., “taps”) from being accepted by the client system. The protective measure may include a distinguishing effect to visually distinguish the protective measure from other graphical objects in the GUI. The user may remove the protective measure by performing a predefined gesture. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

An electronic interactive tablet, a menu display method, and a writing tool attribute control method. When writing configuration needs to be performed when a user is using the electronic interactive tablet for writing, a writing configuration menu having multi-level menu options may be displayed, the writing configuration menu including multiple first-level menu options (M1-1 to M1-6) which are in one-to-one correspondence with one or more writing tools; the writing configuration menu has a regular shape, and the regular shape comprises a middle area and at least one annular area that surrounds the middle area; the at least one annular area is divided into multiple block-like sub-areas, the multiple block-like sub-areas display in one-to-one correspondence the multiple first-level menu options (M1-1 to M1-6); and the middle area is configured to display a secondary-level menu option (M2) of the first-level menu options.

A control display method is performed by an electronic device, the method including: displaying a graphical user interface (GUI), the GUI including a virtual character located in a virtual environment and a control; updating a display position of the virtual character on the GUI as the virtual character moves in the virtual environment; and in accordance with a determination that the control blocks the virtual character at the display position: increasing a transparency of the control. The control display method enables a user to better observe the virtual character that would have been blocked by the control, and dynamic changes of the transparency of the control is more likely to attract the user's attention, so that the user does not miss important information.

A method for providing user feedback for a website includes generating, via a programming interface of a first computing device, a substantially transparent overlay for a graphical user interface (GUI) of a web page, the substantially transparent overlay preventing user interaction with the GUI of the web page, receiving coordinates of an area on the substantially transparent overlay, translating, by the first computing device, the coordinates of the area on the substantially transparent overlay to source code for an element on the GUI of the web page located at a corresponding position of the coordinates of the area on the substantially transparent overlay, and transmitting, by the first computing device, source code for the element to a second computing device for rendering the element on a second computing device GUI.

An example video editing UI control apparatus includes: an editing UI display unit; a user input confirmation unit; and an editing UI processing unit. The editing UI display unit visualizes and displays an editing UI comprising a main editing UI and a detailed adjustment UI on a display device. The detailed adjustment UI is displayed by including first and second buttons with a fixed form. The user input confirmation unit confirms user input information based on a user input that is provided as a touch input through the display device. The editing UI processing unit confirms a main editing input value based on the user input information provided by the user input confirmation unit, sets a detailed adjustment input value of the detailed adjustment UI by considering the confirmed main editing input value, and processes an input of the detailed adjustment UI based on the set detailed adjustment input value.

Techniques are described for trace layer for replicating a source region of a digital image. In an implementation, a user leverages a content editing system to select a source region of a source image to be replicated and a target region of a target image to which portions of the source region are to be replicated. A trace layer is generated that is a visual representation of portions of the source region, and the trace layer is positioned on the target region of the target image. Further, the trace layer is generated based on a visibility factor such that the trace layer is at least partially transparent. The trace layer receives user interaction to select portions of the trace layer and visibility of the selected portions is modified to replicate corresponding portions of the source region to the target region.

A display apparatus which is connected to a controller and capable of precisely and quickly shifting the display position of a pointer to the position of a desired object in a three-dimensional display area. When a two-dimensional directional command has not been issued on the controller by an operator, the display apparatus shifts into a first operation state in which a display position of the pointer is shifted according to the tilt and/or displacement of the controller. When a two-dimensional directional command has been issued on the controller by the operator, the display apparatus shifts into a second operation state in which the display position of the pointer is shifted based on two coordinate axes in the display area according to the directional command issued on the controller. In the second operation state, the two coordinate axes are varied according to the tilt of the external control apparatus.
