  • Patent number: 9584607
    Abstract: Among other things, we describe a method that includes receiving a content stream that defines elements of media content, determining that an element of content of the content stream is associated with a first location, determining that an electronic device is at a second location proximate to the first location, and in response, making the element of content available on the electronic device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9099031
    Abstract: Methods, program products, and systems for layout synchronization are described. A first device can share with a second device a layout designed according to display properties of the first device, even if display properties of the second device differ from those of the first device. The layout can be synchronized between the devices, where each device can adapt the layout in a manner specific to the display properties of the device. Two-dimensional views of same data can have a consistent appearance on multiple devices each having distinct display properties.

  • Publication number: 20130339399
    Abstract: A database management system can receive, from a user interface, a first data object, a second data object, and a relationship relating the first data object and the second data object. The system can determine, based on a database schema, that a database table does not exist for the first data object, the second data object, and the relationship. The system can create a database table having a first data field for the first data object, a second data field for the second data object, and the relationship. The system can then store the first data object and the second data object in the created table according to the relationship.

  • Publication number: 20130339398
    Abstract: A database inbox of the database management system can receive a data object. The database inbox can have an inbox display area. The database inbox can be configured to receive data objects each having a distinct data type. The database inbox can serve as a data shopping cart, storing the data objects in an ad hoc manner before a table for storing the data object in a database has been created.

  • Patent number: 8577929
    Abstract: Methods, program products, and systems for visual manipulation of database schema are disclosed. In general, in one aspect, a system can display a schema view and a data view in graphic representation in an integrated GUI on a display device. The system can display a schema in the schema view, and one or more data records in the data view. The system can receive a touch input from the display device in the schema view, or the data view, or both. In response to the touch input, the system can modify the schema, or the data records, or both. The system can update the schema view and data view substantially simultaneously to reflect the modification in the schema or data records.
