Abstract: User input-based object selection using multiple visual cues is described. User selection input is received for selecting a portion of an image. Once the user selection input is received, one of a plurality of visual cues that convey different information about content depicted in the image is selected for each pixel. The one visual cue is selected as a basis for identifying the pixel as part of the selected portion of the image or part of an unselected remainder of the image. The visual cues are selected by determining confidences, based in part on the user selection input, that the plurality of visual cues can be used to discriminate whether the pixel is part of the selected portion or part of the remainder. The information conveyed by the selected visual cues is used to identify the pixels as part of the selected portion or part of the remainder.

Abstract: Dynamic help is generated for a process which is defined by a process model definition stored in a repository. A help request triggers help, and identifies an application system for which help is requested. The application system is in a repository which provides an API that navigates and accesses contained objects and process model definitions in the repository. The processor determines, in response to the help request, which of configurations stored in a dynamic process help generator (DPHG) storage to use to provide help, based on the application system of the help request. The processor obtains, from that configuration, information indicating relations of the repository related to the application system, process models and objects. The processor requests, via the repository API, the process models and objects based on the information obtained from that configuration. The processor provides, as a response to the help request, the relations, process models and objects.

Abstract: A method controls an Internet portal for a social network service from a motor vehicle. The Internet portal provides functions that can be activated by sending a control command to the Internet portal. An immobile proxy device provides a module that receives a selection, which is made by a user in the motor vehicle, for one of the functions and then sends a control command, which is specific to the Internet portal, for activating the function to the Internet portal. The module also produces suitable display data for the motor vehicle from output data from the Internet portal. The module also receives additional data from an additional data source and produces an additional control command for the Internet portal and/or display data for the motor vehicle therefrom.
