A selector shape may serve as the background to a configurable composite shape and may include one or more expressions that are evaluated to select between several composite shape definitions via links to the definition. Each selector shape includes an animation expression and a lookup table converter to select an identifier of the composite definition to be loaded and displayed. When the value of the animation expression changes, the value may be matched to the name of a new composite definition using the lookup table, and the new definition may be displayed. The previously-used composite definition may then be marked for removal by a caching system, and removed. These selector shapes also enable the same graphic element to be used in displays designed for different types of display devices, such as display devices having large display screens, standard computer screens and very small display screens.

A graph display control device includes a formula display control unit, a graph display control unit and an operation-display-element display control unit. The formula display control unit displays a plurality of function formulas containing parameters on a display unit. The graph display control unit displays a graph image corresponding to one of the plurality of function formulas displayed by the formula display control unit, on the display unit so as to be discriminable according to the plurality of function formulas. The operation-display-element display control unit discriminately displays an operation display element for designating a numerical value of a parameter contained in at least one of the plurality of function formulas, on the display unit in correspondence to the graph images respectively displayed discriminately in relation to the function formulas by the graph display control unit.

An electronic device includes a wireless communication unit, a display and a processor. The wireless communication unit is configured to perform wireless communication with a communication device. The processor is configured to perform operations including: performing a plurality of functions of processing data; setting a function restriction mode in which at least one function of the plurality of functions is restricted, according to a user's operation; displaying data input by a user's operation, on the display; detecting whether communication with the communication device by the wireless communication unit is possible; and displaying that the function restriction mode is set, or transmitting information representing that the function restriction mode is set to the communication device, in a case where the function restriction mode is set and communication with the communication device is possible.

Aspects of the present disclosure include a quick and easy user interface system for allowing a user to format mathematical expression on a math program as they would be formatted in longhand. The user interface is configured to switch between a linear math expression entry scheme and a structured math expression entry scheme based on a user's math expression entries in order to predict the user's desired entry format. The user interface contains additional shortcuts and display features which enable a user to enter mathematical expressions quickly and easily, with less confusion.

An electronic device includes a display unit, a memory and a processor. The display unit displays at least one of a first display representing a code display and a second display representing a display other than the code display. The processor performs a first display process and a second display process. The first display process controls the display unit such that the display unit performs the first display with contrast ratio of the display unit, based on a contrast data item for first display stored in the memory. The second display process controls the display unit such that the display unit performs the second display with contrast ratio of the display unit, based on a contrast data item for second display stored in the memory.

A portable computer .Iadd.in the form of a cellular telephone .Iaddend.arranged to rest comfortably in the hand has a small display screen. Accelerometers capable of detecting movement of the .[.pen.]. .Iadd.cellular telephone .Iaddend.with respect to gravity provide input to a microcontroller which selects a response from a number of viewing modes. The .[.pen.]. .Iadd.cellular telephone .Iaddend.may be held in either hand and the output message to the screen will be oriented according to the location of the .[.pen.]. .Iadd.cellular telephone.Iaddend.. Full personal digital assistance functionality may be incorporated in a relatively small plastics casing and functions, such as calendar, .[.contracts.]. .Iadd.maps and .Iaddend.the like may be incorporated.

Among twelve lines indicating a 3D space (Ad) (X-axis direction lines (Xa)(Xb)(Xc)(Xd), Y-axis direction lines (Ya)(Yb)(Yc)(Yd), Z-axis direction lines (Za)(Zb)(Zc)(Zd)), display colors of red (R), green (G) and blue (B) are allocated to three lines (three-dimensional directions), i.e. an X-axis direction line (Xa), a Y-axis direction line (Ya) and a Z-axis direction line (Za), which have, as starting points, a 3D space minimum point (M) at which each of an X value, a Y value and a Z value becomes minimum, and red gradation display (Rgr), green gradation display (Ggr) and blue gradation display (Bgr) (first origin direction distinct display) are executed such that the colors become darker toward an origin (O) of the 3D space (Ad) and become lighter away from the origin (O).

Techniques for providing a cash flow tool that analyzes financial transaction data for a customer to address any determined inefficient activities of the customer are provided. Financial transaction for the customer can be received. The financial transaction data can include payables transaction data and receivables transaction data. A first inefficient activity of the customer can be determined based on the payables transaction data. A second inefficient activity of the customer can be determined based on the receivables transaction data. A first recommendation to address the first inefficient activity and a second recommendation to address the second inefficient activity can be determined based on services or products available to the customer. The first and second recommendations can be displayed to the customer in a simplified and user-friendly manner to facilitate efficient review and discussion with a representative.

A device for soft tissue biopsy or excision for either handheld or stereotactic table use may comprise a work element configured to selectively open and close at least one articulable beak configured to penetrate tissue, or follow a central lumen of another device or over a wire in a longitudinal direction. Flush and vacuum tissue transport mechanisms may be incorporated. A single tube or an inner sheath and an outer sheath which may be co-axially disposed relative to a work element may be configured to actuate a beak or beaks and provisions for simultaneous beak closing under rotation may be incorporated.

A photo product design customization system for customizing a photo product design with minimal and intuitive user inputs includes a product design module that displays a photo product design in a main design panel, a user input detection unit that can detect a first directional movement from a first dynamic object in a product type selection panel to the main design panel, or a second directional movement from a second dynamic object in a product style selection panel to the main design panel, or a third directional movement from a third dynamic object in a product style selection panel to the main design panel, and an intelligent product design creation engine that can automatically change the photo product design in the main design panel in response to detection of the first, the second, or the third directional movement.
