Abstract: A graphical user interface for trimming a video may include a timeline representation of a duration of the video. A trim duration for the video may be selected based on movement of the timeline representation. The amount of time represented by a portion of the timeline representation may be independent of the duration of the video. The movement of the timeline representation may correspond to moment through the duration of the video at a constant scale regardless of the duration of the video.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing status and progress information on a scrollbar are described. A user opens a software application to perform operations or view items. The application includes a scrollbar in its graphical user interface. The user may perform a plurality of operations. The application determines a position on the scrollbar corresponding to a location of the operation or item. The application determines a status representation corresponding to a status of the operation or item. The application determines a height of a scrollbar segment corresponding to a length of the operation or item. The application displays the status representation in the scrollbar segment at the position. The application may also display changes in the status representation to provide progress information.

Abstract: Lack of physical display space on a mobile computing device complicates the entry of data since the input elements (usually “keys” on a virtual keyboard) are too small to accurately touch. Using on-screen virtual keyboards usually requires placing the virtual keyboard on the screen so that it does not obscure the underlying input field which further reduces the size of the input “keys”. As described herein, a semi-transparent layer is created representing a virtual on-screen keyboard with the specification of “areas of interest” (areas or bounded portions of the screen) which typically will contain the most important screen content. These areas of interest are given enhanced visibility by increasing the transparency of the virtual keyboard in those bounded areas.

Abstract: Implementations generally relate to inter-application sharing. In some implementations, a method includes displaying a first user interface (UI) of a first application in a display screen of a client device, wherein the first UI presents information associated with a target project. The method further includes displaying a second UI of a second application in the display screen of the client device. The method further includes receiving a user indication to transfer the information associated with the target project from the first UI to the second UI. The method further includes accessing underlying data associated with the target project. The method further includes transferring the underlying data from the first application to the second application. The method further includes displaying the information associated with the target project in the second UI after the transferring.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for identifying features in a geographic area captured by a sensor. A server transmits computer readable instructions to a client device to cause the client device to display a first graphical element including data entry user interface elements for inputting one or more parameters. The server receives one or more data inputs corresponding to the one or more parameters. In response to receipt of the data inputs, the server transmits computer readable instructions to cause the client device to display a timeline graphical user interface element identifying detections of a feature in data captured for the geographic area. The data captured for the geographic area is selected based on the identified parameters and the timeline graphical user interface is segment into multiple display elements based on the identified parameters.

Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for interacting with one or more electronic messages in a virtual space are presented. One or more avatars corresponding to the senders of a plurality electronic messages may be displayed within a virtual space. A user may navigate within the virtual space and execute one or more actions associated with an electronic message and/or its sender from the virtual space. In some examples, each of a plurality of electronic messages may be spatially arranged in the virtual space according to a corresponding message thread. In additional examples, each of a plurality of electronic messages may be spatially arranged in the virtual space based on a time that each message was sent or received.

Abstract: Extraction and provision of message identification information to a productivity application for enabling the productivity application to provide an embedded communication experience in association with an attachment file is provided. A message including an attachment is received via a messaging application. Upon receiving a selection to open the attachment from within the messaging application, the attachment file is opened in a productivity application, and various parameters associated with the message are extracted. A path including the various parameters is constructed and passed to a productivity application, thus allowing the productivity application to provide a persisted conversation in a user interface of the productivity application for viewing of and interaction with the conversation.

Abstract: A device, method and computer program product for creating viewable content on an interactive display is provided. The method includes providing a user interface on a device for creating viewable content from a collection comprising at least one multimedia content. The method includes causing the user interface, by a processor, to present an interactive display to the user. The method includes presenting the collection on the interactive display. Further, the method includes receiving one or more gesture inputs by the user on the collection, wherein each gesture input indicates at least one of a desired effect to be performed and a region to be displayed on a viewport of the device. Furthermore, the method includes creating a viewable content from the at least one multimedia content of the collection based on the one or more gesture inputs.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed toward a communication system having a mobile device using a gesture-based user interface. The mobile device may include a user interface that is configured to accept gesture-based commands from a user and relay important information to a responder server during emergency situations.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a two-axis slider graphical user interface system and method. A work station may comprise a processor, non-transitory memory, and an application that when executed by the processor, displays a graphical user interface comprising a two-axis slider within a two-dimensional space that is bounded by a first axis and a second axis, the first axis and second axis corresponding with a first selection method and second selection method, respectively. The work station receives, via the two-axis slider, an adjustment and input criteria that are sent to a server. The work station automatically receives selection of a weighted portion for each of the two selection methods and receives a selection of a defined number of mobile devise corresponding to each weighted portion, and feedback is dynamically displayed on the graphical user interface.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media are described for tailoring instructions for configuring a smart device based on feedback received from the smart device and/or based on feedback received from a device that is separate from the smart device.
