A method includes storing a user interface (UI) hierarchy of one or more screens associated with an application. The one or more screens are presented by an electronic device. A first screen presented by the electronic device is identified as an authentication screen of the application based on the stored UI hierarchy and/or UI elements of the screen. An authentication result is determined based on a deviation of the first screen or presentation of a second screen by the electronic device.

Disclosed is a measure to collect and aggregate performance, sales, call center, custom KPI, and WA data in order to construct a model of correlations and causations between metrics to provide a means to measure associated costs of improving performance metrics for use in an interactive planning model. The interactive planning model allows for allocating budget across performance metrics, leveraging correlations and multiple cost models. The information is provided via a dashboard of IVA performance metrics and allows for comparison of real time IVA performance metrics to target metrics set by the IVA owner and incorporating KPIs provided by the WA owners.

A multifunction device displays a plurality of selectable user interface objects on the display. In response to detecting the first input, the device moves a first object in the plurality of selectable user interface objects across the display to a location on the display that is proximate to a second object in the plurality of selectable user interface objects. In response to detecting that the first input meets predefined folder-creation criteria while the first object is proximate to the second object, the device creates a folder that contains the first object and the second object.

A cursor controlling method includes: A starting position on which a touch signal triggered by an object on the touch panel is detected, and a starting coordinate of the starting position is calculated; a cursor is display at a first coordinate on a display screen corresponding to the starting coordinate. A first vector of the object moving from the starting position to a first steering position on the touch panel is detected. The cursor is moved along a first moving vector corresponding to the first vector, with a first speed on the display screen, until the object is stopped on a first steering position of the touch panel, to make the cursor ended up at a first virtual position having a first virtual coordinate. The cursor is shifted from the first virtual coordinate to a second coordinate on the display screen and corresponding to the first steering position.

A digital-pointer interaction system is provided, which includes a display apparatus, a host, a wireless receiving device, and a plurality of wireless pointer devices. The host plays a display screen on the display apparatus, and executes a digital-pointer application. The digital-pointer application renders a plurality of pointer cursors on the display screen according to a number of wireless pointer devices connected to the wireless receiving device, and each wireless pointer device corresponds to each pointer cursor. Each wireless pointer device periodically emits an indication signal to the wireless receiving device, and the wireless receiving device transmits the indication signal to the host. The indication signal includes displacement information of each wireless pointer device. The digital-pointer application controls movement of each pointer cursor on the display screen according to the displacement information of each wireless pointer device.
