Abstract: We disclose a technology implemented on a computer that automates sequential display of messages, typically videos, which appear on a user's display screen in the same place or in overlapping areas of a single window in a browser. In particular, this relates to displaying a message that arbitrarily may be in a different format than a requested video, with the first message programmed to appear before or after the requested video in substantially the same area of the user's display screen where the requested video will appear or has appeared. The message and the requested video are sequenced without any need to match formats or players used.

Abstract: Mechanisms for implementing a multi-monitor full screen mode in an application module are disclosed. An application module determines a number (N) of monitors that are coupled to a plurality of video ports of a device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for hosting a teleconference session are presented. One or more streams are received from a plurality of client computing devices at a server. The streams are combined to generate teleconference data. The teleconference data may be configured to display a first user interface arrangement in which a primary stream display area dominates a display with a secondary stream display area overlaid on the primary stream display area. The secondary stream display area may disappear after a period of time. The teleconference data may also be configured to display a second user interface arrangement in which the primary stream display area and secondary stream display area are displayed concurrently. A view control switch may be triggered to switch between the first and second user interface arrangement views.

Abstract: A graphical user interface system that visually represents a graph node having multiple input ports, and that automatically adjusts the number of input ports to the graph node as open input ports are connected to upstream graph node(s) and/or as used input ports are disconnected from upstream graph node(s). Upon detecting that a set of one or more input ports has just been connected to one or more upstream graph nodes, the system may automatically add one or more additional input ports to the visual representation of the graph node without explicit user instruction. Upon detecting that a set of one or more of the input ports has just been disconnected from one or more upstream graph nodes, the system may automatically remove the determined one or more input ports from the visual representation of the graph node.

A context-sensitive calendar preview can be triggered and displayed on the email user interface display. The email system detects a user drag and drop input dragging at least a portion of the message content onto the calendar preview, and automatically generates a calendar event based upon the detected drag and drop input, and the particular portion of the message content dragged onto the context-sensitive calendar preview.

Abstract: In a cluster of smart devices, an active device is selectably operable in either a hub-based mode under commands received from a control hub, or in a hub-less mode, where the active device autonomously decides how to respond to current states reported by other smart devices of the cluster. Optionally, an active device operating in hub-based mode automatically switches to hub-less mode upon failing to communicate with the control hub or upon detecting malfunction of the control hub.

Abstract: During a session in which a user is interacting with a user interface, event data is acquired about user inputs to the user interface. The user interface may include a web page. This event data indicative of keystrokes, mouse clicks, mouse movement, and shifts in focus is processed to generate a score. Event data associated with keystrokes and mouse clicks increase the score while events associated with mouse movement decrease the score. A score above a threshold is indicative of a keyboard user, while a score below the threshold is indicative of a pointer user. For example, a keyboard user may be utilizing an assistive technology such as a screen reader application to interact with the user interface. Metrics indicative of whether the user is a pointer or keyboard user may be determined and used to guide website design, change the user interface being presented, and so forth.
