A method and an apparatus for entering text in a portable terminal are provided. The method includes focusing on a selected text field and displaying a SIP, when the predefined text field is selected from among text fields, scroll-displaying the text fields in a display area in response to a requested scroll, when a user requests the scroll of the display area of the text fields, and identifying, from a result of the scroll display, whether the selected text field is being displayed in the display area, and determining whether text is to be entered into the selected text field.

A method, performed by a computing device with a display, for displaying a part of a dialog, like e.g. a chat, between at least two participants is disclosed. The dialog comprises a set of speaking items, like speech bubbles, generated by the participants, and the speaking items generated by a single participant are arranged in a single column for display. The method comprises obtaining a sliding window comprising speaking items and moving according to information received from scrolling means. The method further comprises displaying a subset of speaking items arranged in columns, such that the width of a displayed speaking item 1 is determined as a function of the number of participants having at least one speaking item in the sliding window. A computing device for implementing the method and a computer program product are further disclosed.

A computer device comprises at least one memory configured to store computer code and a display. A processor causes the display to display at least a part of a list of different game options which when selected allows a game to be played. Responsive to input from a user to scroll through the list, the display will display one of the different game options in a game option area which is at a predetermined position with a larger area than at least one other game option area associated with a respective different one of the game options.

A method for configuring a manufacturing operation management (MOM) data warehouse and providing a user interface (UI) to the MOM data warehouse configuration. The MOM data warehouse forms a database for the data handled within a manufacturing execution system. The method includes: a) mapping the data that has to be presented in the UI into a hierarchical data model being based on an industry classification of the manufacturing process controlled by the manufacturing execution system, the hierarchical data model having a number of levels; b) mapping the hierarchical data model into a radial control based UI; c) displaying in the radial control based UI at least two levels of the hierarchical data model; and d) providing navigation actions in order to scroll up and/or scroll down through the levels of the hierarchical data model.

A shift from a scroll mode to a pointer mode is more securely caused with a simple operation. A mobile phone (10) includes: a display section (14); a touch pad (16) having a detection region at a location outside a display region, an event identifying section (21) configured to identify a type of a touch event based on location information received from the touch pad (16); and a mode switching section (23) configured to switch a scroll mode, in which a screen is scrollable, to a pointer mode, in which a displayed object is selectable, in a case where a single tap is inputted in the scroll mode.
