  • Publication number: 20140108974
    Abstract: Example systems and methods of displaying content are described. In one implementation, a method identifies a content item capable of being displayed to a user. The method further identifies a graphical object having a first side containing first information and an opposite second side containing second information. The graphical Object is rotatable between displaying the first side and displaying the second side in response to a user activation of the graphical object. The graphical object is associated with the content item. A visual indicator is selected that identifies the association between the graphical object and the content item. The method associates the visual indicator with the content item and the graphical object.

  • Publication number: 20140100995
    Abstract: A consumer user can perform a number of augmented reality shopping operations using a local client shopping application executable on a mobile device. Features related to implementations of the current subject matter can include, but are not limited to, the ability to view an augmented reality depiction of a shopping display using the mobile device and to execute various “e-commerce” functions accessible via the augmented reality depiction. Vendors can benefit from various data aggregation and consumer incentive features. Related methods, systems, articles of manufacture, and the like are described.

  • Publication number: 20140100996
    Abstract: A consumer user can perform a number of augmented reality shopping operations using a local client shopping application executable on a mobile device. Features related to implementations of the current subject matter can include, but are not limited to, the ability to view an augmented reality depiction of a shopping display using the mobile device and to execute various “e-commerce” functions accessible via the augmented reality depiction. Visual image processing based on one or more inputs from sensors on the mobile device can be used to compute and efficiently provide the two dimensional projection of the three dimensional model to be presented on the screen of the mobile device. Related methods, systems, articles of manufacture, and the like are described.

  • Publication number: 20140089860
    Abstract: A method for displaying on a computing device includes retrieving a data object including an enterprise data from a database, displaying at least one axis including at least one action element associated with the at least one axis on a screen, responsive to a user selection of the at least one action element, displaying a list of selectable attributes of the data, and responsive to selecting an attribute from the list of attributes, displaying a subset of the data reflecting the selected attribute.

  • Publication number: 20130339082
    Abstract: A groupware application may be modified to include additional functionality enabling data from the groupware application to be exchanged with customer account data in a customer relationship management (CRM) system. After selecting a message or meeting object, a third party email address included in the object may be identified and sent to the CRM system. Account information relating to an account in the CRM system associated with the email address may be retrieved and sent to the groupware application. This additional account information may include marketing leads and/or opportunities, which may be displayed in the groupware application. The user may select a lead and/or an opportunity to associate the user selected object with the user selected lead and/or opportunity. This information may be sent to CRM system. Other information relating to the user selected object may also be sent to the CRM system.

  • Publication number: 20130321285
    Abstract: A data filtering menu enabling a user to select different characteristics and values may be displayed. Each of the characteristics may be displayed in a first selectable list in the filtering menu. Once a user selects one of the characteristics, a second list containing selectable values associated with the selected characteristic may be displayed in a second list. The selected values may filter a set of data and the list of characteristics may be modified to display a representation of values selected from one or more of the second lists. Additionally, a selectable object associated with a characteristic having user selected values may also be displayed with a filtered result. If this object is selected, a list of values from the second list may be redisplayed. The user may then select different values and re-executed the filter with the new values.

  • Publication number: 20130298060
    Abstract: A software application assists users of a computing device to manipulate a data object displayed on a user interface. The software application may be implemented as a method that may comprise receiving a touch-and-hold operation directed to the data object, and responsive to the touch-and-hold operation, determining whether a time period since beginning of the touch-and-hold operation reaches a predetermined threshold value, when the time period reaches the predetermined threshold value, creating an image of the data object and hovering the image of the data object on top of the data object to indicate it is draggable, and responsive to the image of the data object being dragged into a droppable display area on the user interface, swapping the image of the data object with a user guidance indicating what the image of the data object will look like if released in the droppable display area.
