Various systems and methods for presenting and interacting with electronic trading related information on a display screen of a computer system are provided. According to one or more embodiments, buttons are positioned and compressed along an axis, where each button corresponds to a function. A button can be selected through an action of a user input device. A button is removed from the region when a function corresponding to the button is no longer current and when the cursor is not positioned within the region. The remaining buttons, if any, in the region are compressed subsequent to removing the button from the region. A button is not removed from the region when the cursor is positioned within the region.

In order to enable an operator to unfailingly recognize a retrieved character string displayed on a display unit as a result of retrieval from a target such as text, a character string retrieval apparatus 1 for retrieving the character string from the target includes a display unit 20 for displaying a retrieval result of the character string, an operation unit 30 for detecting an input operation, a tactile sensation providing unit 40 for vibrating the operation unit 30, and a control unit 10 for shifting an area of the retrieval result of the character string displayed on the display unit 20, based on the input operation detected by the operation unit 30, and, when displaying the retrieved character string on the display unit 20, for controlling the tactile sensation providing unit 40 such that a tactile sensation is provided to an object pressing the operation unit 30.

A remote controller for providing a force input in a media system and a method for operating the same are disclosed. The remote controller comprises: at least one of a navigation key, a determination key or a function key, a first sensing unit configured to sense a coordinate of the key, a second sensing unit configured to sense one or more of pressure and an area applied to the key by a means for selecting the key, and a control signal unit. Here, one or more sensing levels are set to the key. The control signal unit outputs a control signal including a control information concerning the determined sensing level, the control information includes the coordinate of the selected key and information concerning the pressure or the area applied when the key is selected, and plural sensing levels from the same key are matched with different function or screen.

A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes: a display configured to display a virtual keyboard; an inputter configured to receive a stroke input on a key on the virtual keyboard; and a controller configured to display a character which corresponds to the key in an input window in response to the stroke input being received, and configured to perform a control operation to suggest at least one character that is likely to follow a character which corresponds to the key and display the at least one suggested character. The at least one suggested character is displayed so as not to overlap a character of a basic key on the virtual keyboard.

An information processing system has a display monitor and a user-interface for text entry. The display monitor presents the set of alphanumerical characters in a spatial configuration of three parallel horizontal rows or three parallel vertical columns. The “left”-button and the “right” button of the directional buttons of the user-interface control the selection of a group of alphanumerical characters, one of each of the three parallel arrays and positioned in the same column. The “up”-button and the “down”-button of the directional buttons and the “OK”-button, sitting in between, are used to select a specific one of the alphanumerical characters from the selected group.

A navigation learning system learns the field sequence that a given user uses to enter data into a given form. When the user completes entering data in a first field and performs a key-based navigation action (such as by actuating the tab key), a form navigation component identifies the next most likely field, into which the user will be entering data, and navigates the cursor to the identified field.

Technologies are disclosed for launching an application or service on a smart media device, such as a smart TV, set top box, or smart phone. An input mechanism, that is responsive to manual gestures of a user, generates signals that control a display associated with the smart media device. A first user gesture causes the processor to generate a menu that includes an image of a plurality of images that correspond to a first plurality of preselected applications and/or services. A second user gesture causes the processor to launch the application or service on the menu that is identified as desired for selection by the user. Preferably, the input mechanism is either a remote control unit, a keyboard, a handheld smart media device, or a smart phone.

Included is an instruction unit configured to instruct input of a character as a part of a character string; and a control unit configured to, under a restriction that any of a specific character group is allowed to be input in neither of a plurality of predetermined positions of the character string, upon any of the specific character group being instructed by the instruction unit to be input in at least one specific position of the plurality of predetermined positions, prohibit input by the instruction and, upon any of the specific character group being instructed by the instruction unit to be input in a position different from the specific position, enable input by the instruction.

One embodiment provides a method, comprising: detecting, using a processor, a first user operation upon one of a plurality of displays operative connected to an information handling device; and controlling, using a processor, the one of a plurality of displays to display thereupon a first window associated with the first user operation; wherein the first user operation may be performed upon any of the plurality of displays. Other aspects are disclosed and claimed.

A display device 10 of a vehicle includes a first display section 15, a second display section 16, a steering switch 11, a vehicle speed sensor 12, and a control device 17. The first display section 15 displays at least a map. The second display section 16 displays information for operating a display content of the first display section 15. The steering switch 11 receives an operation input of an operator of the vehicle 1. The vehicle speed sensor 12 detects speed of the vehicle. The control device 17 displays information of an operation state of the steering switch 11 on the second display section 16 when the vehicle speed which is detected by the vehicle speed sensor 12 is larger than a threshold value.
