Abstract: In responsive to receiving a user interaction with a map graphical user interface (GUI) of a client device, the system identifies an origin, and determines a map zoom level and map position based on the interaction. The system identifies and ranks candidate destinations for the origin. The system automatically selects destinations from the ranked candidates for inclusion in the map based on the zoom level and the position. Each selected destination for which a destination location indicator would be obscured in the map by an indicator of a higher ranked destination is automatically determined by the system. The system then deselects each destination for which a location indicator has been determined to be obscured by an indicator of a higher ranked destination, forming a revised set of destinations. The system transmits instructions to display a location indicator for each destination in the revised set to the client device.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for optimizing the loading of a web page. The server receives indications (e.g., Document Object Model (DOM) elements) of web page elements of interest of a web page from multiple client devices. The server updates a list of web page elements for the requested web page that is sorted in terms of popularity based on these received indications of web page elements of interest. The server may then appropriately respond to a request to retrieve that web page by accessing such a list and transmitting to the browser of the requesting client device the data to populate the content of the web page elements for the requested web page in an order based on the sorted list. In this manner, the browser will be able to optimize the loading of the web page.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are described herein for providing a graphical user interface for configuring presentations of content and controlling distribution of content, for example, through in conjunction with a management system.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide an interface through which a live content stream is presented, the live content stream being accessed through a content provider system. A determination is made that a broadcaster of the live content stream has applied at least one filter to the live content stream, wherein the filter causes some visual modification to be applied to the live content stream. The interface is updated to include the visual modification to the live content stream based at least in part on the filter applied by the broadcaster.

Text is provided to the reader in an enhanced contrast mode that highlights the active word and line of the text as well as words of interest in the text so as to improve the functionality of the electronic reading device itself as a provider of textual content.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for flexibly generating custom documents from data objects are described herein. Templates with embedded code instructions, which may be evaluated separate from a document reading or editing program, may be used to generate custom documents. The template system may use the embedded code instructions to dynamically access properties of data objects. An editing program may be used initially to generate a mockup document that may be used as the basis for a template.

Abstract: The present invention has an object of providing a user interface execution apparatus and a user interface designing apparatus which can estimate the maximum size of a storage area for storing data to be prefetched when a user interface is designed and can present updated data to the user even when the prefetched data is updated after the prefetch. A user interface execution apparatus in the present invention includes a processor to execute a program; and a memory to store the program which, when executed by the processor, performs processes of: transitioning a state of the user interface execution apparatus; issuing a prefetch request for data; storing the data; generating the code from an interface definition and a state transition definition; and selecting, before transitioning the state, data to be prefetched based on a difference between a data obtaining interface to be used in a state before the transitioning and a data obtaining interface to be used in a state after the transitioning.

Abstract: Methods for optimizing a scale and position of a document in response to a user input is provided are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an initial input request to scroll a document to a target position of the document, and identifying at least one relevant portion of content at or near the target position of the document. The method also includes adjusting a position and scale of the document while receiving the initial input request to an optimal position and an optimal scale for viewing the at least one relevant portion. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of interacting with interactive items in a user interface. A user interface is provided which includes a control region and a display region. A plurality of interactive items are displayed in the display region. The user interface tracks the position and movement of a pointer in the control region, and interprets the movement and/or position of the pointer. Movement along a first predefined axis is interpreted as focus pointing only, movement along a second predefined axis is interpreted as view pointing only. Movement having components along both axes is interpreted as both view pointing and focus pointing, enabling both view pointing and focus pointing to be substantially simultaneously performed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating, displaying, and navigating contextual user interfaces. A contextual user interface is associated with a particular context, such as a particular provider of items. A contextual user interface generation service may generate a contextual user interface for a particular provider, or may generate a contextual user interface for an aggregate context that includes multiple providers. A user interface element may be provided for navigating from one context to another, and a contextual user interface may be displayed or updated as the selected context changes. The contextual user interface may display context-specific information, such as provider-specific items, criteria, or other information, and may automatically change the displayed context as context-specific items are selected.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automated local story generation and curation are described. In one example embodiment, a server computer receives content from client devices, and processes the content to identify content characteristics. Stories are then generated based on the characteristics of the received content, and the stories are communicated to client devices. In certain embodiments, selection at a client device of an individual piece of content within a story may further be used by the system to provide the client device with a sub-story that includes pieces of content sharing content characteristics with the characteristics of the selected image or video.
