Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for a web or mobile interface enabling users and collaborators to simultaneously comment, edit, or edit content in real time or near real time managed by a cloud-based collaboration platform. In one embodiment, the data to be accessed concurrently is presented or depicted at the multiple physical devices to the collaborators for viewing and accessing the data in real time or near real time. Each of the collaborators is able to view, re-edit, or re-modify in a concurrent fashion, at the collaborator's physical device, edits or modifications made to the data in real time or near real time as a result of any of the other collaborators accessing the data at their respective physical devices. In some instances, additional collaborators are specifiable for the data created for concurrent real time access in addition to those originally associated with the folder.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor and a memory storing instructions. The instructions instruct the processor to execute acquiring start time data identified based on first stroke data input by handwriting, acquiring end time data identified based on second stroke data input by handwriting, first correcting the start time data by entering a first numerical value corresponding to a first unit that is the unit of time for which the numerical value is not identified, based on the end time data, when a numerical value corresponding to a unit of time cannot be identified, and second correcting the end time data by entering a second numerical value corresponding to a second unit that is the unit of time for which the numerical value is not identified, based on the start time data, when a numerical value corresponding to a unit of time cannot be identified.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for altering a view perspective within a display environment. For example, gesture data corresponding to a plurality of inputs may be stored. The input may be input into a game or application implemented by a computing device. Images of a user of the game or application may be captured. For example, a suitable capture device may capture several images of the user over a period of time. The images may be analyzed and processed for detecting a user's gesture. Aspects of the user's gesture may be compared to the stored gesture data for determining an intended gesture input for the user. The comparison may be part of an analysis for determining inputs corresponding to the gesture data, where one or more of the inputs are input into the game or application and cause a view perspective within the display environment to be altered.

Abstract: A system for dynamically playing information using conventional feeds and ad-hoc feeds to produce “playable” content includes a device that executes a player engine, the player engine collecting, combining and sequencing items to play based on selection criteria and device context, of text, image, video content by parsing selective tags, patterns, text, identifiers and resource types of interest on resources such as web pages to produce playable content, storing the playable contents results from parsing in a queue of playable feed items, selecting items from the queue to produce an ad-hoc feed and playing the ad-hoc feed.

Abstract: A first display server and a second display server execute on a processing device. The first display server provides a secure environment for data presented in first application windows of the first display server and the second display server provides an unsecure environment for data presented in second application windows of the second display server. The processing device receives at least one user command to copy data from one of the first application windows of the first display server to one of the second application windows of the second display server. The processing device prompts a user to perform an authentication upon receiving the at least one user command. In response to the user successfully performing the authentication, data is copied from said one of the first application windows to said one of the second application windows.

Abstract: Solutions for providing integrated task list functionality. Some such solutions use a user supersystem as a communications hub to generate, display, and/or handle user-based tasks for a family group. For example, tasks may be assigned to one or more members of the family and associated with various types of dates, rewards, audits, etc. Family members may then interact with the tasks through the communications hub and/or through other devices (e.g., cell phones, etc.).

Abstract: A method includes, displaying a content selection icon on a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device, detecting touch input at a touch location on the display operable to select a content selection function associated with the content selection icon, and, modifying the displayed content selection icon to display a touch portion at a location on the display corresponding to said detected touch location and a content selection portion operatively coupled to, but spatially separated from, the touch portion.

Abstract: A categorizing apparatus according to the present invention includes: a selected object position determining unit which determines a first position of an object selected by a user in a first region; an identifying unit which identifies one or more objects which are related to the selected object; a parameter assigning unit which assigns a parameter to each of the related objects according to a degree of relatedness between each of the related objects and the selected object, the parameter contributing to a predetermined relationship which defines tracking property of the related object to the selected object when the selected object is moved from the first position. Hence the categorizing apparatus allows the user to intuitively categorize content items through his or her operation, so that the content items are categorized as the user desires.

Abstract: Methods and systems can provide custom electronic-channel content items to display when a device is in display state. It can be determined that a user device is subscribed to receive content items corresponding to a channel and to present one or more of the content items when the user device is in a display state. Data corresponding to the user device can be identified. The data can correspond to a physical or electronic action (e.g., an interaction with a presented content item or a purchase at a channel-associated virtual or physical store). A customization rule for the channel can be identified. A content item can be generated or selected using the customization rule and the data. It can be enabled for the content item to be presented on the user device when the user device is in the display state.
