  • Patent number: 9961296
    Abstract: A system renders a graphical representation of a timeline of a first video in a graphical user interface. The system receives a notification during playback of the first video at a first location in the first video. The notification indicates a request to playback the first video at a second location in the first video. The system determines that a second video is renderable during the first video between the first location and the second location. The system determines a viewing status associated with the user. The viewing status indicates whether the second video has been previously rendered for a user account on a client machine, and determines whether the user may view the first video at a second location in the first video, based on the viewing status associated with the user.

  • Patent number: 9081795
    Abstract: Systems and methods are discussed to share real-time electronic content among social contacts. The current location of a mobile device is determined to be at a live event. For example, GPS functionality may be used to determine the current location of the mobile device at a live event. A live event vicinity associated with the live event is determined. The live event vicinity comprises a geographic area proximate the live event. One or more social contacts may be determined to be within the live event vicinity. Electronic content may be captured using the mobile device. For example, a photograph may be taken using the mobile device. The captured electronic content may be shared with one or more social contacts that are determined to be within the live event vicinity.

  • Publication number: 20140300604
    Abstract: A vector graphics authoring tool supports a directional input request for enabling a user to easily and efficiently advance focus from one reference point on a vector path of an image being authored to another reference point. A “directional input request” does not comprise a user directly identifying (e.g., directly clicking on) a reference point that is to receive focus. Instead, directional input requests merely indicate a general direction in which focus is to be advanced from a reference point currently possessing focus. The vector graphics authoring tool determines a next reference point encountered in the indicated direction. In one embodiment, a directional advancement operation is supported by the vector graphics authoring tool in which a user may advance focus from a reference point on a vector path that possesses current focus along the vector path in an indicated direction to another reference point residing on the vector path.
