Abstract: A system and method for facilitating integrating enterprise data from multiple sources for display via in a common interface. An example method includes displaying, via a first user interface display screen, a first set of one or more personnel icons representative of one or more enterprise personnel, and providing a first user option to select one or more of the personnel icons. A second user interface display screen may be displayed in response to or after selection of one or more of the personnel icons. The second user interface display screen presents a first type of data. The second user interface display screen further provides a second user option to select one or more user interface features associated with the first type of data, and to then trigger display of a third user interface display screen. The third user interface display presents a second type of data that is associated with the first type of data.

Abstract: A collaboration system can be configured to support a large number of active clients in a workspace where the workspace is distributed into disparate groups of objects. While participating in the workspace, a first active client can configure their viewport to follow the viewport of a second active client. This configuration synchronizes the first active client's viewport with the second active client's viewport, including a translation or a zoom of the second active client's viewport. The system can be configured so that the second active client is informed that it is being followed by the first active client.

Abstract: A website building system includes a determiner, a converter and an interface. The determiner determines an editable subset of the multiple components within a user selected portion. For each single page container component of the editable subset components, a converter dissolves the single page container component and merges components of the single page container component into a parent page. The converter converts the updated page-based hierarchy into a linear user interface. The converter also defines an ordered list of the editable subset components of a page associated with a linear menu. The interface presents both the page-based user interface and the linear user interface and enables editing content of the editable subset components in both the page-based and the linear user interfaces. The interface reflects changes from the editing in one user interface into the other user interface.

Abstract: A resource dependency system dynamically determines and generates for display a minimized and collapsed resource dependency toolbar using two or more indicators to display a summarized view of dependency relationships to one or more selected items. For example, the system can analyze a resource dependency graph and determine root items, or items that do not depend on other items but are depended on by a selected item. The system can also determine leaf items, which no other items depend on. The system can also determine intermediary items that depend on root items and/or leaf items. Then, based on preconfigured instructions, the system can group the root, leaf, and intermediary items into two or more indicators and display the indicators on a graphical user interface conveying information about the selected item and how it is related to other items.

The processing device presents one or more participant messages within a native messaging interface associated with the event. The processing device also presents one or more viewer messages within the native messaging interface. The viewer messages are integrated with the participant messages and the viewer messages are entered via a non-native messaging interface.

Abstract: A technique is described herein for managing the manner in which a computing device transitions from one user interface (UI) mode to another. The technique stores state information that describes prior states of UI features that have appeared in previous UI presentations, with respect to different UI modes. When transitioning from a first UI presentation (associated with a first UI mode) to a second UI presentation (associated with a second UI mode), the technique leverages the state information to restore one or more aspects of a prior-encountered state associated with the second UI mode.

Abstract: A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a process that identifies identified media content sources based on a consumption pattern. The identified media content sources include alternative media content items and second metadata associated with the items. A match is determined between first metadata associated with media content requested for presentation at a media device and the second metadata. Matched alternative media content items are identified based on the match, and media content previously consumed by the media device is determined. A tout message is constructed identifying alternative media content items that do not include the media content previously consumed by the media device. A selectable command is provided within in the tout message associated with the alternative media content items. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A device displays a user interface. The user interface includes a folder icon that corresponds to an application folder containing a plurality of application icons. The plurality of application icons correspond to different applications in a plurality of applications. The plurality of applications include applications that have unread notifications. While displaying the user interface, the device detects an input that includes a contact at a location that corresponds to the folder icon. In response to detecting the input: when the input meets menu-presentation criteria, wherein the menu-presentation criteria require that a characteristic intensity of a contact in a detected input meet an intensity threshold in order for the menu-presentation criteria to be met, the device displays selectable options that, when activated, launch corresponding applications that have unread notifications.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display section, a touch count determining section, a rotation angle detector, a rotation angle determining section, and an image processing section. The display section displays an object. The touch count determining section determines a touch count on the display section. The touch count is a number of touch points on the display section. The rotation angle detector detects a rotation angle of a touch action including multiple touch points on the display section as a rotation specification angle. The rotation angle determining section determines a rotation performance angle by which the object is rotated based on the rotation specification angle and the touch count. The image processing section rotates the object by the rotation performance angle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying branded video tags. An advertiser provides additional content associated with broadcast advertising content to a service provider that downloads the additional content to a digital video recorder (DVR). The service provider inserts command tags into the content that are intercepted by the DVR and interpreted as commands that instruct the DVR to perform specific actions when the DVR receives the stream from a broadcaster. The DVR intercepts and translates any tags inserted into the content stream while the DVR is playing the content stream. Tags can cause the DVR to display a branded video tag to the user which is a displayed icon that requests an interaction by the user and has an advertiser's logo(s) displayed in its vicinity.
