Abstract: Variety of approaches to provide content and attachment printing for a communication are described. A productivity application initiates operations to provide content and attachment printing for a communication upon detecting an intent of a recipient to execute a print operation associated with the communication. Next, a content of the communication or attachment(s) associated with the communication is identified. A print menu is also provided. The print menu includes options for the print operation while displaying the content and representations of the attachment(s) together. In response to detecting a hover action on the print menu, an option for the print operation is highlighted. The option is associated with the content of the communication and/or attachment(s) associated with the communication. Upon receiving a selection of the option for the print operation, the print operation is performed without downloading the attachment(s) to a local storage.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling video content displayed to a viewer are presented. The method includes receiving video stream of a video. Two or more areas of interest are identified in a segment of the video stream and a display priority for each area of interest is determined. The method includes facilitating display of concurrently occurring portions of the segment if the display priority for the each area of interest is equal and the areas of interest can be simultaneously presented in a single view on a display screen. The concurrently occurring portions are displayed in a split screen arrangement if the areas of interest cannot be simultaneously presented in the single view. The portions of the segment related to one or more areas of interest are displayed based on an order of the display priority if the display priority for the each area of interest is unequal.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for assigning tasks to collaborators of a file through a contextual action. In one aspect, rendering of a file within an email application including a reading pane may be initiated. A task object may be created based on an input made with respect to the file. A reference point associated with the task object may be created within the file. The task object may be assigned to at least one collaborator of the file via the email application.

Abstract: Systems for determining and presenting consensus based on evaluating a message conversation are described. A consensus determination application may automatically parse each message of a series of messages related to a topic, using natural language processing or similar methods, to determine one or more suggestions and corresponding opinions for the one or more suggestions contained within those messages. The consensus for each of the one or more suggestions may be presented to a user. By viewing the automatically-determined consensus, the user may, without reading and evaluating all of the messages within the conversation, understand the level of consensus regarding the topic across the group of message participants. Accordingly, user burden is reduced and users may more effectively debate ideas and present suggestions with fewer misunderstandings, leading to an overall better user experience.

Abstract: An omnidirectional camera is presented. The camera comprises: at least one lens coupled to an image sensor, a controller coupled to the image sensor, and a movement detection element coupled to the controller. The movement detection element is configured to detect a speed and direction of movement of the camera, the camera is configured to capture images via the at least one lens coupled to the image sensor, and the controller is configured to select a digital viewpoint in the captured images. A central point of the digital viewpoint is selected on the basis of direction of movement, and a field of view of the digital viewpoint is based on the speed of movement. A system and method are also presented.

Abstract: An electronic mail (email) system generates an email user interface display for composing an email message. A context-sensitive widget display is surfaced, on the user interface display, in-line with other message content. A widget that generates the widget display interacts with a remote data service to surface data from the remote data service, on the widget display.

Abstract: An electronic mail (email) system generates an email user interface display, that allows the user to enter message content. A context-sensitive calendar preview can be triggered and displayed on the email user interface display. The email system detects a user drag and drop input dragging at least a portion of the message content onto the calendar preview, and automatically generates a calendar event based upon the detected drag and drop input, and the particular portion of the message content dragged onto the context-sensitive calendar preview.

Abstract: An electronic mail (e-mail) system detects when a user is replying to a particular portion of content in a received message. The reply is automatically formatted to visually distinguish it over replies from other recipients to the same portion of content.

Abstract: An electronic mail (email) system detects initiation of drawing functionality. A drawing file is then generated on a separate, selected device and uploaded to the e-mail system. The drawing file represents a drawing that is integrated into an electronic mail message, in-line with other message content, in the e-mail system.

Abstract: An electronic mail system detects actuation of location integration functionality and populates a compose pane in the electronic mail system with an interactive map display, that is populated in-line with other message content in the compose pane. A user can interact with the interactive map display to perform mapping functionality to modify the interactive map display.

Abstract: An electronic mail (email) system generates an email user interface display, with a timeslot actuator, for composing an email message. Actuation of the timeslot actuator is detected and the email system accesses available timeslots from a calendar system corresponding to the user. User selectable display elements, corresponding to each available timeslot, are displayed on the email user interface display, along with message content. When a user selectable display element corresponding to an available timeslot is selected, the emailmessage content is populated with a selectable timeslot element, corresponding to the available timeslot, that can be sent to recipients in the email message.

Abstract: Systems for prioritizing thumbnail previews within a message are described. A thumbnail prioritization application may automatically identify files that are most applicable and/or relevant to a message. When more than one file is applicable to a message, each file may be ranked based on its predicted relevance to the message. In this way, a subset of relevant files is identified, as well as identifying the most relevant files within the subset. Thumbnail previews may further link directly to a corresponding file within storage, enabling recipients of a message to easily and efficiently identify and directly access files that are most applicable to the message. Because relevant files are automatically identified, neither the sender nor the recipient(s) are required to search through multiple files to locate applicable files. Accordingly, user burden is reduced and user efficiency is increased, leading to a better overall user experience.
