The chart has a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. The horizontal axis includes first horizontal scale markers. The vertical axis includes first vertical scale markers. The method also includes detecting a first touch input at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a location on the display of the chart. The method further includes, while detecting the first touch input: horizontally expanding a portion of the chart such that a distance between first horizontal scale markers increases; and maintaining a vertical scale of the chart such that a distance between first vertical scale markers remains the same.

Abstract: A description of a user is estimated based on the context of a user's past and present locations. A disclosed data-processing system continually receives data points for each user that represent spatial and/or temporal events. These events represent, for example, presence of a person at a specific geographic location such as a geographic area or point of interest (POI). The data-processing system evaluates the received data points in relation to one or more of the geographic locations, yielding results that are also based on the demographic characteristics of each visited location and the commercial characteristics of each visited location. The data-processing system evaluates the data points also to determine patterns exhibited in each user's activity or inactivity, and patterns exhibited in the distance traveled and the type of travel. The data-processing system bases the user descriptions on the results of these evaluations.

Abstract: The present disclosure envisages a system that incorporates built-in semantic tagging capabilities. The system auto generates test cases based on semantic tags. The system envisaged by the present disclosure personalizes a web page (particular web content) for different users, based on the personalization criteria specified by each of the users. The system further transforms a desktop based website into a mobile form factor and vice-versa with minimal quantum of software programming. The system incorporates data driven test cases and eliminates manual scripting of test cases, by the way of providing JSON (Java Script Object Notation) data as an input point for a test. The system enables users to extend their presence beyond desktop applications, and onto other channels such as native mobile applications, by seamlessly transforming the web content from one form factor (current form factor) to another appropriate form factor (secondary form factor).
