The display device is adapted to play back the content data corresponding to the selected identification information items.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to formulating and refining field extraction rules that are used at query time on raw data with a late-binding schema. The field extraction rules identify portions of the raw data, as well as their data types and hierarchical relationships. These extraction rules are executed against very large data sets not organized into relational structures that have not been processed by standard extraction or transformation methods. By using sample events, a focus on primary and secondary example events help formulate either a single extraction rule spanning multiple data formats, or multiple rules directed to distinct formats. Selection tools mark up the example events to indicate positive examples for the extraction rules, and to identify negative examples to avoid mistaken value selection. The extraction rules can be saved for query-time use, and can be incorporated into a data model for sets and subsets of event data.

The input method comprises: acquiring historical dialog information about a dialog window; extracting characteristic information in the historical dialog information, wherein the characteristic information comprises a keyword; determining prediction information, wherein the prediction information comprises the keyword; based on the prediction information, acquiring an on-screen candidate word queue in an input text box in the dialog window; and outputting the on-screen candidate word queue.

Abstract: A video processing system generates and automatically updates videos. A client inputs a smart script that defines general preferences and information to include in a video. The video processing system generates a model of the story from the smart script. A story model comprises story beats that define order and characteristics of information that is presented in a story. The video processing system accesses client content (e.g., video clips, images, and testimonials from a client website) and assigns content items to story beats. The story model and associated content is rendered into a video. The video processing system can then adapt the story model in response to viewer feedback, external events, or other client-supplied parameters. Adapting the story model may include reordering, adding, or removing story beats, or altering parameter values associated with story beat characteristics. Thus, the video processing system can iteratively improve and update a video automatically.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system dynamically resizes one or more application windows displayed on one or more screens based on an interactive state associated with the one or more application windows. Initially, a processor displays a plurality of different windows associated with one or more corresponding applications and determines an interactive state associated with each of the plurality of different windows. The processor then analyzes the interactive states of each of the plurality of different windows and, in response, adjusts a size of one or more of the plurality of different windows in accordance with the determined interactive states. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for dynamically resizing one or more application windows based on the interactive states associated with the one or more application windows in substantially the same manner described above.

The data is sent to a second user device that implements a second device platform differing from the first device platform. A second GUI for the virtual desktop interface is generated using the data and displayed on a second display of the second device. The second GUI differs at least in part from the first GUI.

Abstract: A portable electronic device with a touch-sensitive display (such as a cellular telephone) provides a wireless remote control for an entertainment device (such as a consumer-electronic device). Based on device-state information that specifies a current state of the entertainment device (which is received from an audio/video (A/V) hub that communicates with the entertainment device) and one or more related states of the entertainment device, the portable electronic device may generate a user interface that includes one or more virtual command icons. Note that the one or more related states are related to the current state in a state diagram by corresponding operations that transition the entertainment device from the current state to the one or more related states. Then, the portable electronic displays the user interface on the touch-sensitive display. In this way, the portable electronic device dynamically adapts the user interface.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for creating custom user interface (“UI”) controls. A networked computing service may determine that an action performed by a user of the service is likely to be repeated, based on previous actions performed by the user and/or other users, parameters of the action including characteristics of an item associated with the action, and other criteria. The networked computing service may generate, or recommend generation of, a custom UI control that automates performance of the action. The networked computing service may automatically determine parameters of the action, and may determine alternative parameters and/or alternative actions if the action cannot be performed using the determined parameters. Custom UI controls may be associated with various computing devices and/or other electronic devices, and categories of custom UI controls may be determined and displayed.
