The method includes entering a mini-mode and displaying a mirror image, which is the same as an original image with a smaller size than that of the original image, in the mini-mode on the screen; detecting a touch input which is generated on the mirror image; and performing a function corresponding to the touch input.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for adjusting recipients of a message are provided. For example, a trigger item may be detected in a first input field, of a messaging interface, corresponding to a body of a message. A list of user identifications may be generated and/or displayed. A first content item may be detected in the second input field following the trigger item. A second list of user identifications may be generated based upon the first content item and/or the second list of user identifications may be displayed. A first user identification may be selected by receiving a selection of the first user identification from the second list of user identifications. A first contact item associated with the first user identification may be entered into one or more second input fields corresponding to one or more recipients of the message.

Abstract: Various methods and apparatus are described herein for enabling one or more users to interface with virtual or augmented reality environments. An example system includes a computing network having computer servers interconnected through high bandwidth interfaces to gateways for processing data and/or for enabling communication of data between the servers and one or more local user interface devices. The servers include memory, processing circuitry, and software for designing and/or controlling virtual worlds, as well as for storing and processing user data and data provided by other components of the system. One or more virtual worlds may be presented to a user through a user device for the user to experience and interact. A large number of users may each use a device to simultaneously interface with one or more digital worlds by using the device to observe and interact with each other and with objects produced within the digital worlds.

Abstract: Natural language and user interface control techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a natural language input is received that is indicative of an operation to be performed by one or more modules of a computing device. Responsive to determining that the operation is associated with a degree to which the operation is performable, a user interface control is output that is manipulable by a user to control the degree to which the operation is to be performed.

Abstract: A user interface (UI) layout description language is described in which a UI may be specified for presentation by different versions of the same app running on different platforms. A layout engine written in a platform-specific language parses the UI layout description and transforms it to a native view using native UI components. The app on each platform has its own layout engine, but each can use the same layout description to generate a native view. Thus, a UI can be built once for all of the platforms. And because the UI layout engines are written in the language of their corresponding platforms, the UIs generated are high performing.

Abstract: A method and a device for direct launching of an interface to selected functionalities of an application are provided. The method includes receiving a user input gesture on an application icon, displaying a plurality of user interface (UI) elements on the application icon, in response to the received user input gesture, wherein each of the plurality of UI elements corresponds to at least one functionality of an application, receiving a user selection of at least one UI element of the plurality of UI elements, and launching the functionality corresponding to the selected UI element.

Abstract: A clipboard component provides a multi-item clipboard store. The clipboard component uses a technical strategy that facilitates its efficient adoption and use by end users and application developers. From an end user's standpoint, the clipboard component provides a new user experience which is easy for the users to discover, learn and use, due, in part, to the use of ergonomic control mechanisms for activating paste and copy operations. From a developer's standpoint, the clipboard component provides a way of allowing existing legacy applications to interact with a multi-item clipboard store, even though these applications were not originally created to provide that type of interaction. The clipboard component can also, upon instruction by a user, apply one or more supplemental operations to a copied content item, such as transferring the item to a target computing device.

Abstract: Embodiments are discussed for providing an indication of information previously accessed, or “browsed,” by a user on a control device of a media playback system, irrespective of a prior graphical display on the control device. The embodiments may involve causing a graphical display to provide a visual indication of a selectable region, receiving selection data that indicates a selection of the selectable region, irrespective of a prior graphical display and in response to receiving the selection data, identifying browse data that was most-recently accessed by the control device, where the browse data includes an indication of one or more playable media items, and causing the graphical display to provide a visual indication of the one or more playable media items indicated by the identified browse data.

Abstract: A method is provided to produce a custom calendar user interface (UI) display on an electronic device display screen comprising: providing a search query to a user device; sending the search query over the network to a server system; receiving over the network by one or more user devices from a server system, information that identifies one or more code objects that match the search query; using the identified one or more identified code objects by the one or more user devices to generate one or more visual content items within a calendar user interface (UI) grid display on their device display screens.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rapid content switching between pieces of content presented in a plurality of stations using streaming content distribution in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed.

Abstract: Improved computer efficiency for document navigation is provided. A transparent overlay is automatically applied to an interactive content element to prevent inadvertent interaction with the element during scrolling operations. In some examples, upon determining a user's intent is to navigate a parent document comprising an embedded interactive element, the overlay is applied, and user-interaction with the interactive element is temporarily disabled. Upon determining the user's intent is to interact with the interactive element, the overlay is removed, and user-interaction with the interactive element is enabled. When the overlay is removed, a contextual hint, such as via a user interface control, can be provided to indicate how to continue navigating the parent document.

Abstract: Methods and devices for selectively presenting a user interface or “desktop” across two devices are provided. More particularly, a unified desktop is presented across a device and a computer system that comprise a unified system. The unified desktop acts as a single user interface that presents data and receives user interaction in a seamless environment that emulates a personal computing environment. To function within the personal computing environment, the unified desktop includes a process for docking and undocking the device with the computer system. The unified desktop presents a new user interface to allow access to functions of the unified desktop.

Abstract: A method for generating data change alerts in a collaboration environment and highlighting changes. The method generates a message that contains information on a data change event, in response to a first user changing data in a cell of a data table. The method further determines whether there is a representational object that is based on the data being changed, and if so, alerting a second user, who is associated with the representational object, of the data change. Moreover, the data change is highlighted in the representational object.
