Abstract: An element representing an existing filter can be dragged and dropped into a canvas area. In response to the detection of the dropping of the filter, an input control can be automatically created. The selection of an input control may be based on the type (or dimension) of the filter. Alternatively, an option to create an input control can be presented to the user, wherein only valid input control types for the type of the filter are presented. If a data type of a filter changes such that the type of a corresponding input control is no longer valid, the input control may automatically be modified to a type that is valid for the new data type of the filter.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates use of an application on an electronic device. During operation, the system obtains a first metadata definition containing a mapping of view components in a user interface of the application to a set of attribute-specific types associated with an attribute of the electronic device, and a second metadata definition containing a set of rules for binding the attribute-specific types to a set of platform-specific user-interface elements for a platform of the electronic device. Next, the system generates a view for display in the user interface by applying, based on the attribute and the platform, the first and second metadata definitions to content describing the view to select one or more platform-specific user-interface elements for rendering one or more of the view components in the content. The system then instantiates the platform-specific user-interface element(s) to render the view component(s).

Abstract: Usability of a device having a user interface that contains a plurality of user-selectable elements presented in a spatial arrangement that varies over time is improved by storing the spatial arrangement at an initial given time in a memory and, upon receiving user input at a later time, applying the user input denoting a selection within the spatial arrangement as at the initial given time stored in the memory, in order to achieve the automatic selection of the element that existed at the selected location within the arrangement at a period of time before the selection was made, rather than the selection of the element that exists within the arrangement at the actual time of the selection being made.

Abstract: Quick tasks for on-screen keyboards are described in which an on-screen keyboard supports a plurality of quick tasks configured to edit selected text in defined ways. Quick task functions may be assigned to keys of the on-screen keyboard in addition to the default actions or “normal” character entry functions of the keys. During text input, the keys operate normally to perform a function related to character entry, such as to cause input of corresponding text character. When text is selected or in other designated interaction scenarios, operation of a key associated with a quick task may automatically trigger the quick task to modify selected text in a corresponding way. Thus, the same key of an on-screen keyboard may be employed to initiate a function related to character entry or apply of a quick task to text depending upon the interaction scenario.

Abstract: An online system maintains a page of content for a user that includes content provided to the online system by the user. To allow the user to more easily present content items to other online system users, the online system receives an objective specifying a desired interaction by users presented with the content item from the user and generates a set of content items from content included on the page. One or more content items of the set are selected and a budget for presenting the selected one or more content items is received, and the online system includes one or more of the selected content items in selection processes along with bid amounts based on the budget that select content for presentation to other users. The online system may update the selected content items of the set over time as content included on the page is modified.

Abstract: Online educational videos are often difficult to navigate. Furthermore, most video interfaces do not lend themselves to note-taking. Described system detects and reuses boundaries that tend to occur in these types of videos. In particular, many educational videos are organized around distinct breaks that correspond to slide changes, scroll events, or a combination of both. Described algorithms can detect these structural changes in the video content. From these events the system can generate navigable overviews to help users searching for specific content. Furthermore, these boundary events can help the system automatically associate rich media annotations to manually-defined bookmarks. Finally, when manual or automatically recovered spoken transcripts are available, the spoken text can be combined with the temporal segmentation implied by detected events for video indexing and retrieval. This text can also be used to seed a set of text annotations for user selection or be combined with user text input.
