Abstract: An improved graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying patient health records is described herein. A computing device transmits a query to a server computing device executing an electronic health records application (EHR). The EHR retrieves a computer-readable file for a patient comprising a plurality of file records, the plurality of file records including a file record reflective of a patient encounter with a healthcare worker for a healthcare issue. The EHR transmits data which causes the computing device to present a GUI including a first portion comprising an identity of the healthcare issue and a second portion comprising a treatment plan for the healthcare issue, patient symptoms, and observations made by the healthcare worker during the patient encounter. The first portion is oriented above the second portion such that the healthcare issue can be identified without scrolling through the GUI or refreshing the GUI.

Abstract: A document creation platform provides a user interface for creating electronic documents. In response to a first user input, the platform creates an electronic document with a plurality of clauses. In response to a second user input in a first clause, the platform designates a user-specified sequence of words in the first clause as a defined term. The platform also opens an addendum section of the electronic document to receive a user-specified definition of the term. In response to a third user input, the platform inserts the term into the electronic document in a second clause. The platform identifies a fourth user action at a location of the term in the electronic document, and in response: determines that the term has an associated definition; retrieves a current version of the definition from the addendum section; and displays the retrieved current version of the definition in a separate window.

Abstract: An electronic device, with a touch-sensitive surface and a display, includes one or more sensors to detect intensity of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface. The device detects a contact on the touch-sensitive surface while a focus selector corresponding to the contact is at a respective location on the display associated with additional information not initially displayed on the display. While the focus selector is at the respective location, upon determining that the contact has an intensity above a respective intensity threshold before a predefined delay time has elapsed with the focus selector at the respective location, the device displays the additional information associated with the respective location without waiting until the predefined delay time has elapsed; and upon determining that the contact has an intensity below the respective intensity threshold, the device waits until the predefined delay time has elapsed to display the additional information associated with the respective location.

Abstract: A system and method for providing directional feedback. A wireless connection is established between a first directional interface and one or more directional interfaces. A free form path is received from a user utilizing the first directional interface. The free form path is converted to directional feedback in which the free form path is wrapped to available paths communicated by the first directional interface and the one or more directional interfaces to generate the directional feedback. The directional feedback is sent to the one or more directional interfaces wirelessly connected to die first directional interface. The directional feedback is communicated to one or more users associated with the one or more directional interfaces utilizing user preferences associated with the one or more directional interfaces.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes establishing a session to a remote desktop determined for a user of a client device. The session allows the client device to remotely access the remote desktop to have one or more services performed for the user of the client device using resources of the remote desktop. The client device sends a request for a service in the one or more services to be performed on the remote desktop in the session and receives a result set determined from the service being performed by the remote desktop. A native viewer for the client device is determined based on a type of the result set. The native viewer is then invoked to display the result set.

Abstract: Structured information about nodes may be generated and shared using sub-nodes. A node in a social networking system may be associated with sub-nodes that are definable by the node owner, such as menu items for a restaurant or songs in playlists for an artist. Users of the system may interact with the sub-nodes, and the interactions may be presented back on the page to a user, aggregated according to the user's connections in the social networking system (e.g., which songs your friends listened to the most by the artist, which menu items were consumed the most). Users may associate other sub-nodes to the node, such as identifying other menu items served by a restaurant, and the node owner may confirm these associations. Location awareness functionalities may be used to inform a user of highly recommended sub-nodes nearby as indicated by other users of the social networking system.
