According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a method is provided. The method includes identifying UI controls in a GUI for display on a screen of a computing device. The method further includes determining a position relationship of the UI controls. The method further includes mapping the UI controls to keyboard areas such that a position relationship of the keyboard areas corresponds with the position relationship of the UI controls. One or more keys within the individual areas are associated with the UI controls that are mapped to the respective keyboard areas.

Mapping UI controls on screen to keys

In an approach, a processor determines respective resolution levels for a plurality of objects, presented in a video segment to be rendered, based on a relationship between a primary object and at least one remaining object of the plurality of objects. A processors, determines, from the video segment, a plurality of object-based video elements at the determined respective resolution levels, each of the plurality of object-based video elements corresponding to one of the plurality of objects. A processor causes the plurality of object-based video elements to be delivered for rendering the video segment.

Object-based video loading

Methods, apparatus, computer program products for pausing playback of a video based on competency assessment of a user are provided. In response to receiving a request to play a video from a user, a processor obtains corresponding competency values for the user, wherein each competency values indicate a competency assessment of the user imitating a content of the video. A processor determines one or more nodes from respective split nodes of adjacent segments in the video as pausing nodes based on the competency values and correlation of the adjacent segments, wherein the split nodes and the correlation of the adjacent segments are determined based on the content of the video. A processor pauses a playback of the video based on the pausing nodes during the playback of the video for the user.

Playback control of a video based on competency assessment

A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product that facilitate adjusting screen sensitivity of a touch screen are proposed. The computer-implemented method comprises: determining, by a device operatively coupled to one or more processing units, one or more operational areas for an interface of an application running on a touch screen device; and determining, by the device, a screen sensitivity for each of the one or more operational areas respectively.

Adjusting screen sensitivity of a touch screen

A computer-implemented method and a computer system are proposed. According to the method, one or more candidate target applications are obtained in response to determination of one or more pieces of source contents from one or more source applications. A target application is determined from the one or more candidate target applications, wherein the one or more candidate target applications are shown one by one in a pre-defined order. The one or more pieces of source contents are pasted into one or more target areas in response to determining the one or more target areas in the target application.

Method, system and computer program for copy and paste operations

Initiating a communication group of devices using device vibration includes encoding a message into a vibration signal using an encoder in a master device, the message including a connection request. A vibration pattern is emitted using a vibration motor by controlling the vibration motor to vibrate with a pattern corresponding to modulations of the vibration signal to send the message through a medium in contact with the master device. A response vibration pattern is received from responding devices using a sensor, the response vibration pattern carrying a response message. The response vibration pattern is decoded with a decoder of the master device to extract the response message from the response vibration pattern. A communication group is established at a host according to the response message for communication between the master device and the responding devices.
