Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a personalized lobby interface based on contest attributes and user attributes for one or more users of a contest management system. The contest management system can generate, execute and maintain a plurality of contests, such as but not limited to, fantasy sports contests. Further, the contest management system can maintain a plurality of user profiles with each of the user profiles associated with at least one user. To provide content and/or recommendations to one or user profiles, the contest management system can create one or more personalized lobbies for each of the user profiles. The personalized lobbies can display one or more contests selected by the contest management system that a user associated with the respective user profile may be interested in based in part on their respective profile attributes and/or contest history.

Abstract: An enhanced control, in which a guide line is defined relative to an object in a user interface, items aligned with the guide line are displayed without obscuring the object. A selected item is output based on receiving a selection of one of the displayed items.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for tracking content items are provided.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for efficiently identifying whether any expected user interface elements (e.g., informational components, containers, navigational components, input controls, labels, etc.) are missing from a rendered user interface. A user interface is generated and rendered by a client device according to user interface content data received from a content provider. User interface feature identifiers associated with user interface features included in the rendered user interface are identified and applied to one or more probabilistic data structure algorithms to generate a rendered feature probabilistic data structure digest representing the rendered user interface features. The rendered feature probabilistic data structure digest is compared with an expected feature digest to determine whether any expected user interface features are missing from the rendered user interface.

Abstract: An adding system for adding scent information to digital-photographs includes an application program installed in an electronic device and a database stored with multiple pieces of scent information. An adding method includes following steps: loading and opening a digital-photograph through the application program; locating for a pixel point upon the digital-photograph which received an external clicking; searching boundaries outwardly from the pixel point to determine a tagged range; selecting one piece of scent information to be added from the database; linking the tagged range with the selected scent information for generating a tagged digital-photograph; and storing or sending the tagged digital-photograph. By using the adding system and adding method, other users may use other electronic devices to open the tagged digital-photograph and control a scent diffusing device to diffuse corresponding scent based on the scent information added in the digital-photograph.

Abstract: A user device may provide, to a network associated with a base station, user device location data identifying a latitude, a longitude, and a heading of the user device, and may receive base station location data identifying a latitude, a longitude, and signal coverage of the base station.

The user device may retrieve camera view data and sensor data associated with the user device and may display, based on the camera view data and the sensor data, a second user interface that includes the first user interface overlaid on a camera view of the user device, an augmented reality-based signal strength directional indicator, and an augmented reality-based base station location representation associated with the base station.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining proximity information for each of a plurality of assistant-enabled devices within an environment of a user device. Each assistant-enabled device is controllable by an assistant application to perform a respective set of available actions associated with the assistant-enabled device. For each assistant-enabled device, the method also includes determining a proximity score based on the proximity information indicating a proximity estimation of the corresponding assistant-enabled device relative to the user device. The method further includes generating, using the proximity scores determined for the assistant-enabled devices, a ranked list of candidate assistant-enabled devices, and for each corresponding assistant-enabled device in the ranked list, displaying, in a graphical user interface (GUI), a respective set of controls for performing the respective set of actions associated with the corresponding assistant-enabled device.

Abstract: A data management server computer (“server”) is disclosed. The server receives action data associated with one or more users identifying a plurality of actions performed through one or more computer devices in a multi-modal networked environment, identifies useful sequences of actions as compound actions, and generates deep links representing the compound actions as UI elements which when invoked cause execution of the represented compound actions.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices supporting physical proximity graphing are described. Some systems may store a limited set of location information for a set of humans (e.g., refraining from tracking device location information to maintain user privacy). A system may send a survey to each person indicating a suggested list of people based on the location information. The people may provide feedback confirming whether encounters occurred with each suggested human. The system may use this information to generate a graph using hashed identifiers to obfuscate user identities, where the graph tracks connections between people (e.g., based on encounters within a time period). Based on a trigger event, the system may analyze the graph and identify a set of hashed identifiers connected to a person of interest (e.g., traversing multiple levels of the graph). The system may transmit messages to people corresponding to the identified set of hashed identifiers.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to allow for improved media content navigation. Metadata such as closed captioning, social media content, and tags associated with various media segments are analyzed to allow identification of particular entities depicted in the various media segments. Image recognition and audio recognition algorithms can also be performed to further identify entities or validate results from the analysis of metadata.

The new computer application accesses a new data source via the common access point. The new computer application is associated with an existing computer application. The existing computer application accesses an existing data source via the common access point. The existing computer application is executed to access the existing data source. Additionally, the new computer application is executed to access the new data source in response to a selection of the association.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide an automated workflow tool that automatically and efficiently creates an executable workflow while preventing or reducing the introduction of errors into the workflow. The tool receives a selection of a start tile. In response, the tool presents a number of selectable items to configure an action to detect that initiates execution of the start tile as the first step in the workflow. Responsive to saving a configuration of the start tile including the action, the tool determines that the configuration of the start tile instructs the tool to add a second tile connected to the start tile on the canvas of the workflow. The tool presents a number of selectable items to configure the second tile as a next step in the workflow. The tool executes the workflow configured with the start tile and the second tile responsive to detecting the action configured in the start tile.
