  • Patent number: 9785323
    Abstract: A user interface includes a digital image display canvas and a plurality of control tiles arranged on a rotatable carousel. A user can browse through the control tiles using swiping gestures that rotate the carousel. Each control tile represents a parameter, an imaging effect, or some other manipulation that can be applied to the displayed image. For control tiles representing a parameter which can be selected from a range of numerical values, such as image brightness, selecting the control tile causes a universal slider to be displayed. The universal slider extends across an entire dimension of the display, thereby providing the user with a wide range of adjustment for the corresponding parameter. Selecting a different control tile associated with a different parameter causes user input received via the universal slider to be applied to the different parameter, thereby such that the same universal slider can manipulate multiple parameters.

  • Publication number: 20160070460
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for assigning an attribute to an image asset. A touch-sensitive device can display images one at a time. Each image has a status attribute that indicates whether the image has been picked or rejected. The user can display and change the status of the displayed image using a vertical touch contact gesture. An upward gesture may be used to assign a picked status to an image asset or remove a rejected status from the image asset. A downward gesture may be used to assign a rejected status to the image asset or remove a picked status from the image asset. A user interface affordance is configured to display a flag graphic and text string corresponding to the current status of the image being displayed and an animated graphic in response to a vertical touch contact gesture for changing the status of the image asset.

  • Publication number: 20140304690
    Abstract: Methods for outputting an application are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment provides a software tool for outputting an application to one or more environments. The tool may be able to receive and use output task plug-ins that specify output characteristics for outputting to different environments. The use of such plug-ins may make the tool easily extensible with respect to outputting an application to many different mobile devices, including devices that are not yet released, as well as to other local, device, and network environments. Another exemplary embodiment involves a output tool that may receive and save user specified output parameters for an output task as an output task instance. The tool makes the output task instance available for outputting an application according to the received output parameters without requiring that the parameters be specified again.

  • Patent number: 8423883
    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and editing content having graphics of different types. For example, bitmap-based image editing can be integrated within a vector-editing application allowing bitmap images to be edited within the context of the content in which they are used. Bitmap specific editing features can be made available concurrently with outer editing environment editing features. For example, a bitmap container used in an outer application may be cropped or resized while the outer editing application is in a specific bitmap editing mode that also allows editing of the actual pixels of the bitmap (e.g., to set the colors of the pixels and the pixel resolution). An editing application may also provide an integrated scale pixels to screen option to allow editors to selectively keep or discard image details (e.g., resolution information that is not needed for an images current size, etc.).

  • Patent number: 8078448
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated testing are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving an input during testing of an application on a first emulated device. The method further includes automatically creating from the input a test module configured to be executed on a second emulated device for testing of the application, wherein the first emulated device is different from the second emulated device. In one embodiment, the system includes a receiver configured to receive an input during testing of an application on a first emulated device. The system further includes a creation module in communication with the receiver and configured to automatically create from the input a test module configured to be executed on a second emulated device for testing of the application, wherein the first emulated device is different from the second emulated device.

  • Patent number: 8019588
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reviewing test results are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a first display capture from a testing of a first emulated device executing an application, wherein the first display capture is from a first instance in the application. The method further includes receiving a second display capture from a testing of a second emulated device executing the application, wherein the second display capture is from the first instance in the application. The method also includes creating a display capture package comprising the first display capture and the second display capture. The display capture package is configured to cause the simultaneous display of the first display capture and the second display capture. The method further includes transmitting the display capture package to a display device.
