A method and apparatus for a search function are provided in a touch-sensitive device that supports a search for contents in a list view by using a dedicated keypad displayed in the list view. In the method, the apparatus displays the dedicated keyboard for a content search in the list view, and performs the content search in the list view in response to an interaction inputted on the dedicated keyboard. The apparatus then displays at least one execution item associated with at least one found content, and executes the content associated with a selected one among the at least one execution item.

The disclosure relates to methods for the screening, identification, and/or application of one or more microorganisms of use in imparting one or more beneficial properties to one or more plants.

A control method according to the present disclosure causes a computer of an information apparatus to: display on a display a display screen representing a floor plan including one or more rooms; and using at least one memory that associates first information indicating a type of each of one or more device icons representing one or more target devices with second information indicating an attribute of each of the one or more rooms, display a device icon having a room that corresponds to a type of a device icon among the one or more device icons in a region on the display screen corresponding to a room that corresponds to the device icon and display a device icon not having a room that corresponds to the type of the device icon among the one or more device icons in a prescribed region on the display screen.

A recording system has a listener processor for automatically capturing events involving computer applications during a dialogue involving the user of the computer. The system generates a visual transcript of events on a timeline. It automatically detects start of a dialogue and proceeds to detect events and determines if they are configured as transcript events, before detecting end of the dialogue. The system may associate dialogue events with audio clips, using meta tags.

The invention is directed to systems and methods for implementing an airline ticket counter system in a mobile app that allows for ticket counters to be re-assignable and re-configurable across employee permission levels and across different airline companies with their own employee access policies.

A computing device may include a provider application and data defining perceptible elements that provide users with various functionalities in more easily consumable stages. The application may determine that the user is at a first level of sophistication based on user activities and/or circumstances, and present a first set of perceptible elements in response thereto to provide a first set of functionalities. The application may then determine the user is at a second, higher level of sophistication based on subsequent activities and/or circumstances, and present a second set of perceptible elements to provide a second set of functionalities that includes at least one new functionality not provided via the first set of perceptible elements. Applications can be less resource intensive by evolving to strategically tailor available functionality to the circumstances and needs of particular users.

Techniques to selectively capture media using a single user interface element are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a touch controller, a visual media capture component, and a storage component. The touch controller may be operative to receive a haptic engagement signal. The visual media capture component may be operative to be configured in a capture mode based on whether a haptic disengagement signal is received by the touch controller before expiration of a first timer, the capture mode one of a photo capture mode or video capture mode, the first timer started in response to receiving the haptic engagement signal, the first timer configured to expire after a first preset duration. The storage component may be operative to store visual media captured by the visual media capture component in the configured capture mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

The disclosure is directed to systems and system for providing human-machine interface (HMI), and more particularly, to system for providing a part of HMI system and system components for controlling a vehicle, controlling a personal communication device and displaying integrated information from both to the user.
