Abstract: A method, device and user terminal for acting on graphical objects displayed in a plug-in viewer of a mobile application is disclosed. In response to a first command gesture, a user device displays a webpage in a user interface of a social networking application and the webpage includes one or more images. After detecting a second command gesture, e.g. a sustained-contact, directed to an image or a blank portion of the displayed webpage, certain operations can be performed to the identified image or images. For example, a sustained-contact on the blank portion of the displayed webpage can result in saving all the images of the webpage in the user device or in the cloud. The saving operation can be conducted with or without additional approval from a user. In such a manner, the saving operation on images of a webpage can be performed more efficiently, improving user experience.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for managing a collaborative document that is owned by two different users who belong to different organizations. The users first create a document that will be owned by both users. Both users are also granted full ownership rights in the document. The users then contribute to the document by providing information that may be confidential to their organization. The users want to ensure that they can cut off access to the confidential information if and when the relationship between the users or organizations sours. When one of the users with full ownership privileges decides to end the cooperation with the other users, that user simply revokes access to the document to the other user. As a result of the revocation all users are no longer able to see or access the entire document. In this way the confidential information of all parties is protected.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements allow merchants to set up advertising campaigns that distribute special offers or discounts and allows users to forward the special offers to friends. The forwarding of the offers could expose merchants to offering more discounts than budgeted and this is a concern. The invention addresses this by having the forwarded offer check with the merchant server or advertising server to see if there is enough budget in the campaign left to allow the issuance of the forwarded offer, and if so, the server issues a new identifier. If not, the user receiving the forwarded offer receives a message saying the campaign has expired. Since every offer has its own identifier, the forwarding of the offers can be tracked, as well as the redemption, which allows for social metric collection.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques and systems for enabling “hover-based” interaction with content that is rendered on a display of a viewing device. A process may include rendering content on a display, detecting an object hovering in front of a front surface of the display, and in response to detecting the object, determining a location on the front surface of the display corresponding to a position of the object. The determined location on the front surface of the display may then be used to determine a portion of the content that is rendered at the location or within a threshold distance from the location, and a magnified window of the portion of the content may then be displayed in a region of the display. The portion of the content within the magnified window may be actionable by responding to user input when the user input is provided within the magnified window.
