Abstract: The present specification describes systems and methods of generating and displaying at least one context aware active icon, virtual or graphical user interface object based on contextual and/or user attribute data acquired in response to a user using an application program or accessing a website/webpage on their computing device. In various embodiments, the at least one virtual object is visually overlaid on top of the application program or the website/webpage. The at least one graphical user interface object includes a URL or pointer directed towards launching another application program, evoking a functionality of another application program and/or launching another website/webpage on the user's computing device.

Abstract: The present specification describes an advanced image processing system which allows the recognition and modification of specific sections of an image. Operationally, at least a portion of an input image is identified based on user instructions. Pixels corresponding to the identified portion of the input image are compared with pixels corresponding to other parts of image to detect the entire section corresponding to the portion, and a new image is created that includes the detected section. The system may operate within the context of a social networking application in which users can modify pictures using sections from other images, share them with other users in the social network, and access and modify images using a virtual keyboard which can be customized for a user.
