Some implementations described herein provide techniques and apparatuses for software parameter management through a universal interface. The techniques and apparatuses include a user device including a universal parameter management application. The user device may receive multiple sets of changeable parameters that may be provided to the user device using different formats, different machine languages, and/or different language scripts. The universal parameter management application may translate the multiple sets of changeable parameters into a common format, common machine language, and/or common language script. The user device may then provide each of the multiple sets through a common, changeable graphical representation of the changeable parameters on a graphical user interface of the device. The user may change each of the multiple sets of changeable parameters through an input that changes the common, changeable graphical representation.

Software parameter management through a universal interface

A method, and associated apparatus and system and program product, for enlarging or reducing an image. The image is displayed on a display screen. A pointing operation is detected. The pointing operation points to, with a single-touch gesture using pointing means on the display screen, a first figure indicative of a range of the image to be enlarged or reduced and a second figure indicative of a size of the enlarged or reduced range. In response to the detection of the pointing operation, an enlarged or reduced image is displayed after the enlarged or reduced image is obtained by enlarging or reducing the image at an enlargement or reduction ratio determined based on the first figure and the second figure.

Enlarging or reducing an image on a display screen

A method includes obtaining, by one or more processor, an indication that a first task assigned to a first entity is complete and that a second task is assigned to a second entity (the second task is subsequent to the first task). In response to obtaining the first indication, the one or more processor generates a third task, which includes a transfer task from the first entity to the second entity before the second entity commences the second task. The one or more processor identifies data to be communicated to the second entity by the first entity, before the commencement of the second task by the second entity. The one or more processor obtains an indication that the third task is complete; and in response to obtaining this indication, determines whether during the third task the first entity communicated a pre-defined portion of the data to the second entity.
