The invention comprises a computer-implemented system and method for refining the order and/or content of a list of items. In one embodiment, the amount of user activity associated with each item displayed to users in a given context is monitored, used is to generate context-specific item weights. The weights for the same item in different contexts may be different. The selection of items included in a list presented to users, as well as the order in which the items in the list are displayed, may be adjusted over time based upon the relative weights associated with the items. This allows the items generating the greatest user interest in a particular context to be presented to first, or otherwise emphasized.

A display window is attributed a layering attribute such that underlying display windows are blended with the layered display window and displayed on the display screen. In a first embodiment, the layered window and the underlying window are represented as bitmaps. Any overlapping portions of the underlying window bitmap are redirected to an underlay buffer and composited with the layered window bitmap according to a display order and an opacity level. In a second embodiment, the layered window and the underlying window are represented as hardware sprites. Graphics device hardware stores copies of each sprite and composites each sprite according to a display order and an opacity level. In either embodiment or in a combination of both, as the layered window is moved or resized, the stored data allows for updating the composite display without requiring system expensive display regenerations.

A coding control unit (110) and a mode selection unit (109) are included. The coding control unit (110) determines the coding order for a plurality of consecutive B-pictures located between I-pictures and P-pictures so that the B-picture whose temporal distance from two previously coded pictures is farthest in display order is coded by priority, so as to reorder the B-pictures in coding order. When a current block is coded in direct mode, the mode selection unit 109 scales a forward motion vector of a block which is included in a backward reference picture of a current picture and co-located with the current block, so as to generate motion vectors of the current block, if the forward motion vector has been used for coding the co-located block.

Target elements of a search query are selected by referring to elements or listings within a data structure called a memory map module. Each target element is pre-validated against data available within a database (related to the memory map module). The memory map module has an index to the data as well as relationship information between the data. The memory map module is searched to find listings related to the target elements of the search query. In one embodiment, the memory map module is searched by determining a range reference using a first table of the relationship information. A range is determined using the range reference to a second table of the relationship information. The range is used to search the index to find the listings. In another embodiment, a string space of the relationship information is searched for each instance of the target element. An offset for the instance is determined and is mapped back to a matching listing in the index. A matching listing for each instance of the target elements is respectively added to the listings for each of the target elements. An intersection between the listings for each target element is determined. The listings within the intersection are arranged according to a display order. The display order can be a predetermined or randomized order. The listings within the intersection are displayed as listing information related to the search query. Additional information about a listing can be determined by narrowly and quickly searching the database.

The invention discloses a mobile phone device for displaying menu dynamic sequence and a method therefor, the method comprises following steps: starting the dynamic menu function according to the presetting; controlling the function menu for displaying a mobile phone on the mobile phone screen through a microprocessor; setting the data for counting the times of hitting the mobile phone menu on a storge device, when a user selects one function menu, the times of the funtion menu are added one; sequencing according to the hitting times value of each function menu and displaying on the mobile phone screen. The mobile phone device for displaying menu dynamic sequence and a method therefor adopts counting the times of the menu options, updates automatically and dynamicly adjusts display items of the menu, generates a menu display sequence naturally according to the individual use habit, accords with use characteristics of users.

A display 1a with a shading means is divided into three areas. A shading part of the shading means shifts by ¼ of a pitch of the shading part in each of the areas. When the shading part shifts by the ¼ of the pitch, an image passes by corresponding to each of areas after shifting. An image display surface is also divided into areas by corresponding to the above division into areas, and a display order of a left eye image and a right eye image in stripe shapes is controlled for each of the areas. Shifting by the ¼ of the pitch is not provided in the H2 area, but is provided in the H1, H3 areas, and replacement of the left eye image and the right eye image is provided only in the H1 area. In this case, the right eye image passes through L1′ from the H1 area and enters a right eye of the viewer, the right eye image passes through R2 from the H2 area and enters the right eye of the viewer, and the right eye image passes through R2′ from the H3 area and enters the right eye of the viewer. Therefore, only the right eye image is supplied to the right eye of the viewer 2 shifting backward from an optimum viewing position D.
