In some embodiments, a method includes: receiving, by a first computing device, text composed using a composition window of a second computing device; entering, by the first computing device, the composed text into a text input of an application executing on the first computing device; determining, by the first computing device, one or more attributes of a cursor of the text input, the one or more attributes of the cursor including at least a position of the cursor; and sending, by the first computing device, the one or more attributes of the cursor to the second computing device, the second computing device configured to display the application and to position the composition window relative to the displayed application based on the position of the cursor determined by the first computing device.

A display assembly (201) for a kitchen device (100), the display assembly (201) including: a liquid crystal display panel (214) having a plurality of liquid crystal elements (300) forming a dot matrix (302); a memory device (225) for storing executable instructions for operating the dot matrix (302); a processor (202) adapted to execute the executable instructions to: determine a required output of the dot matrix (302); retrieve a predetermined instruction set from the memory device (225) that corresponds to the required output; and operate the dot matrix (302) using the predetermined instruction set, wherein the predetermined instruction set includes an instruction for each element (300) in the plurality of liquid crystal elements (300).

A controller determines whether a language of an object in display data including the object and a coordinate of a rendering reference point of the object is a right-to-left writing language, and upon determining that the language of the object is the right-to-left writing language, determines an upper-right corner of a display screen of a display panel as a reference point, determines a position of the rendering reference point of the object on the display screen based on the determined reference point and the coordinate of the rendering reference point of the object included in the display data, and drives the display panel to display the object on the display screen based on the determined position of the rendering reference point on the display screen.

In some embodiments, a method includes: receiving, by a first computing device, text composed using a composition window of a second computing device; entering, by the first computing device, the composed text into a text input of an application executing on the first computing device; determining, by the first computing device, one or more attributes of a cursor of the text input, the one or more attributes of the cursor including at least a position of the cursor; and sending, by the first computing device, the one or more attributes of the cursor to the second computing device, the second computing device configured to display the application and to position the composition window relative to the displayed application based on the position of the cursor determined by the first computing device.

In one embodiment, dividing a set of texts into one or more text blocks, each text block including a portion of the set of texts; rendering each text block to obtain one or more rendered text blocks; determining a placement instruction for each rendered text block, the placement instruction indicating a position of the rendered text block when it is displayed; and sending the one or more rendered text blocks and their respectively associated placement instructions to an electronic device for displaying on the electronic device.

A controller determines whether a language of an object in display data including the object and a coordinate of a rendering reference point of the object is a right-to-left writing language, and upon determining that the language of the object is the right-to-left writing language, determines an upper-right corner of a display screen of a display panel as a reference point, determines a position of the rendering reference point of the object on the display screen based on the determined reference point and the coordinate of the rendering reference point of the object included in the display data, and drives the display panel to display the object on the display screen based on the determined position of the rendering reference point on the display screen.

In the present invention, layout information about each screen layout is separated into a plurality of display elements, and is stored in a plurality of databases for the respective display elements in association with a language selection flag. The plurality of databases include an alignment/progression database and a component position database. The alignment/progression database stores alignment information and progression information. The component position database stores component position information. A controller acquires layout information appropriate to the language selection flag from each database, and controls a display device such that display information is displayed based on the acquired layout information.

A limited display area can be effectively used for character display. According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a derivation unit configured to derive a length by which a position of a head character laid out at a beginning of a line or column of characters displayed in a display area of a display unit can be changed within a range in which a letter form of the head character does not exceed the display area, and an adjustment unit configured to adjust the layout position of the head character and that of a character subsequent to the head character based on the length.
