Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes displaying a GUI comprising a report including a first graphical representation of one or more data elements, receiving an input indicating a selection of a first data element included in the one or more data elements using an insight visualization tool, and displaying, as part of the GUI while maintaining display of the report, an insight view comprising respective graphical representations of a subset of the one or more data elements, the first data element included in the subset. Each of the respective graphical representations includes one or more graphical regions corresponding to one or more sub-elements included in a data element represented by the respective graphical representation and the respective graphical representations of the insight view are displayed based at least in part on a display characteristic that defines the displaying of the report.

Abstract: A method and a device of starting applications installed on a mobile operating system (OS) is performed by a mobile device for the mobile OS to flag any application installed on the mobile OS as a windowed application and display the application under a multi-window mode when the application is started. When multiple applications are simultaneously started, the mobile OS sequentially determines if each application is a windowed application. If positive, the application is displayed under the multi-window mode, and the size and location of the displayed window frame with the application running thereon are adjustable, rendering higher operational efficiency and convenience of software applications installed on a mobile OS.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for displaying tag words for selection by users engaged in social tagging of content accessible via a communications network, are provided. A tag cloud, tag word inventory curve and slider control are displayed within a graphical user interface. The tag cloud is a visual representation of an inventory of tag words. The tag word inventory curve is a graphical representation of the words in the inventory by frequency of usage by others. The slider control is responsive to user movement, and is movable within a range that spans the length of the tag word inventory curve. Movement of the slider control changes the number of tag words from the inventory displayed in the tag cloud according to frequency of usage by others.

According to one embodiment, a primary application is displayed on a display associated with the computing device in a first viewing mode. Upon receiving a request from the user to launch to a split-screen operating mode for enabling simultaneous display of multiple applications, the first viewing mode is transitioned to a split-screen view such that the primary application is shown within a first display area and a plurality of applications are shown within a second display area adjacent to the first display area.

Abstract: A graphical user interface displayed at a mobile computing device may adjust dynamically and automatically in response to detecting a pattern of user interactions with the graphical user interface. Adjustments to the graphical user interface may include causing content to advance automatically, removing or resizing the display of particular interface components, re-locating components of the interface, and causing display events to occur automatically. The device may cause such adjustments to occur in response to detecting patterns of user interactions with the graphical user interface. The detection of user interaction pattern may include determining when content advancement commands are received, when viewing of the interface is terminated, whether particular components of the interface are not selected, the locations of the interface with which the user interacts, or which user commands for display events are frequently received.

Abstract: Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for a digital media player application are disclosed. In one aspect, a GUI is generated that presents a “histogram view” of digital media items of a digital media source. The histogram view associates visual representations of the digital media items with a media attribute, such as associating songs with a recording artist who recorded the songs. In another aspect, a GUI is generated that presents a “stack view” including stacks of visual representations of digital media items that are associated with a media attribute, such as a playlist or artist. The stacks of visual representations can be scrubbed by a user (e.g., using a touch gesture) to select digital media items in the stack for playback.
