  • Patent number: 11627220
    Abstract: A call reminder functionality is provided by an arrangement that is operable with a network-enabled communication device in which a reminder to return a phone call can be generated in an automated manner upon the occurrence of a call event. When the call event occurs, an option is displayed on a user interface (“UI”) on the device to create a link between the call and the user's schedule application. If the user selects the option, a callback task is added to the user's task list maintained by the schedule application, and a reminder to make the callback is generated and then displayed on the UI at a future time. The reminder includes pertinent call information and also includes a button that enables the user to place the callback through the UI (i.e., a “one-click call back”).

  • Publication number: 20130091431
    Abstract: A video previewing and selection system may allow a user to filter and select video clips based on metadata associated with the video clips, including metadata that defines when certain people are shown in the clips. A set of video sequences may be analyzed to extract existing metadata and present the metadata in a user interface. A user may select various metadata which may be used to filter the selections using logical AND and OR combinations. The user interface may allow a user to view the clips, as well as select clips for further editing by a video editor.
