Abstract: A server according to one embodiment includes a receiving unit, a position determination unit, and a transmitting unit. The receiving unit receives, from a terminal, selection information indicating at least one item selected on the terminal displaying a list containing a set of a plurality of items. The position determination unit determines a position to which the at least one item can be moved in the list by referring to a storage unit storing constraint information. The transmitting unit transmits, to the terminal, position information indicating a determination result by the position determination unit in order to display a position to which the at least one item can be moved and a position to which the at least one item cannot be moved in a distinguishable manner on the terminal at an arbitrary time before movement of the at least one item is completed.

Abstract: A user interface for a system such as a virtual assistant is automatically adapted for hands-free use. A hands-free context is detected via automatic or manual means, and the system adapts various stages of a complex interactive system to modify the user experience to reflect the particular limitations of such a context. The system of the present invention thus allows for a single implementation of a complex system such as a virtual assistant to dynamically offer user interface elements and alter user interface behavior to allow hands-free use without compromising the user experience of the same system for hands-on use.

Each summary icon represents one or more icons having matching values of their additional attributes. Summary icons may include sizing and visual indicators of aggregate values of the icons they replace. Summary icons may replace icons within a single cell or multiple cells. Summary icons may be positioned based on the positions of the icons they replace. User interface controls for activating and controlling grouping may be integrated with a legend.

Abstract: One or more aspects relate to a screen reader. Markup code for a visual interface containing at least one visual control is located. A screen reader menu for the visual interface is created. A visual control name and screen location, both corresponding to the at least one visual control, are extracted from the markup code. A menu item is generated in the screen reader menu corresponding to the at least one visual control. The menu item is set to simulate an action at the screen location corresponding to the at least one visual control on selection of the menu item whereby on user selection of the menu item the action is simulated at the screen location corresponding to the at least one visual control.

Abstract: Examples described herein dynamically personalize a digital assistant for a specific user, creating a personal connection between the digital assistant and the user. The digital assistant accesses user activity and generates queries based on the user activity. The digital assistant facilitates natural language conversations as machine learning sessions between the digital assistant and the user using the one or more queries to learn the user's preferences and receives user input from the user during the learning session in response to the queries. The digital assistant dynamically updates a personalized profile for the user based on the user input during the natural language conversations.

Abstract: Techniques facilitate intelligent message processing of messages. With regard to a message, an intelligent message processor component (IMPC) can intelligently identify a desired file folder and archive the message in the folder in response to as little as one user interface (UI) control manipulation (e.g., click), when the intelligent message processor UI (IMPUI) is activated. When the IMPUI is activated, the IMPC automatically parses the message and identifies, or allows the user to identify, a keyword/phrase in the message. The IMPC automatically identifies the desired folder based on the identified keyword/phrase, and the user can click on the identified keyword/phrase to store the message in the identified file folder. The IMPUI also can comprise other UI controls that can, e.g., forward a message to another user, archive the message or related attachment in a remote storage destination, perform a customized message process, etc.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system for automatically managing panes in relation to the application canvas in a user interface. The system includes a pane manager that works in conjunction with applications to provide access to panes while keeping a minimum amount of user content visible. The system allows an application to define a protected canvas size. When a pane is needed, the system determines if sufficient room for the pane exists or can be created by dismissing another pane. If so, the pane is added. If not, the pane may be displayed in a temporary manner. The system also responds to changes in the user interface size. If the user interface size decreases to a point where sufficient room for existing panes is no longer available, one or more of the existing panes are dismissed.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating automatic execution of user interaction in a virtual space are disclosed. For such facilitations, interactions initiated by users may be monitored and examined. The examination of the user interactions may be made based on various parameters that depend on user interaction levels in the virtual space. Based on results of such examinations, user interactions to be automatically executed in the virtual space while the users are not participating in the virtual space may be determined. In some examples, such determinations may be based on the user interaction levels in the virtual space and/or one or more virtual items and/or real-world currencies spent by the users for the automatic execution of the user interactions.

Abstract: Heuristic caching techniques are used to improve application usability within the constraints of computing resources. A user's behavior in connection with an application is recorded and used to intelligently determine which transitions of a user interface of the application to cache. In addition, the user may have one or more characteristics. Such characteristics may also be used to identify other users so that the other users' behavior in connection with the application can be used for intelligently determining which transitions of the user interface to cache.
