Abstract: Database systems and methods are provided for authorizing access to a protected resource. One method involves an authorization service automatically assigning a unique alias to a web application and thereafter receiving a request for access to a protected resource on behalf of a user of the web application. In response to the request, the authorization service generates a graphical user interface (GUI) display including a graphical representation of the unique alias automatically assigned to the web application at a client device associated with the user, and thereafter in response to user selection of a GUI element of the GUI display to authorize access, the authorization service obtains an access token associated with the user and the protected resource and transmits the access token to the web application.

Abstract: A calling method can include determining, with a device, a position of a nearby device in response to detecting a signal transmitted from the nearby device and capturing, with a camera of the device, an image of an area near the device. Responsive to identifying an image of a call candidate appearing within the image of the area, a position of the call candidate can be determined from the image. The position of the call candidate can be correlated with the position of the nearby device based on proximity. Information associated with the call candidate can be retrieved based on the correlating. Based on the information retrieved, a visual identifier token corresponding to the call candidate can be generated. The visual identifier token can be presented on a display of the device and can be used by the user to initiate a call between the device and the nearby device.

Abstract: Embodiments may be associated with a user interface design for an application. An intelligent user interface platform may collect user experience data associated with a user's interactions with the application over time (e.g., user actions, touchscreen interactions, computer mouse clicks, attention information, context information, etc.). The intelligent user interface platform may then analyze the user experience data (e.g., looking for most visited interface locations, most used actions, infrequently accessed functions, common user mistakes, etc.). The intelligent user interface platform may also automatically create a user interface design adjustment based on the analysis. For example, the user interface design adjustment might be associated with a menu item, a sub-menu item, an application action, an icon location, adding a display element, removing a display element, etc.

Abstract: A system comprises an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an indication to execute a proposed organization chart.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system configured to collect and maintain user data within a first party silo while allowing third party data consumers to use the user data in accordance with explicit input from users. The system provides a user with transparency and control with regard to data use by displaying graphical user interfaces configured to receive input indicating whether the user allows or prevents third party data consumers to use his or her data. The system exposes an API that enables the third party data consumers to submit a data query. The system uses the data query to internally analyze a user data set. User data is included in the user data set in accordance with the input. The system is configured to provide, via the API, a result of the analysis to the third party data consumer that submitted the data query without providing the user data set.

Abstract: Techniques and methods are disclosed for providing improved and consistent navigation within a mobile shopping application. A default graphical user interface may be provided at a display of a user device. In response to a navigation request at the default graphical user interface, the application can enter a store mode for a separate specialty store within the application. While in the store mode, the application can present a subsequent graphical user interface that overlays the default graphical user interface. The subsequent graphical user interface can be configured using data conforming to a graphical interface specification. The graphical interface specification may also include rules for determining which navigation requests properly enter and leave the store mode.

Abstract: A system and method are presented for interoperability of computer software applications. Subdocuments are located within slots of a main document along with a fully-qualified file identifier. Subdocuments can be saved in the main document in an intermediate format. Editing a slot triggers the opening of the original document in its native application. An intermediate format file is then created and reimported into its original slot. A document containing subdocuments can be exported in its entirety from one program to another. An auxiliary program identifies a target template format and converts the original document to the target template in its native application using the original subdocuments. Page image exports are used to transfer all content in the original application document to a destination document in a different format.
