A database associates argument types with alternative argument values and includes a compatibility mesh between the alternative argument values for a given type and contextual data. The method includes: upon reception of a first user input, detecting at least one argument type in the first user input and contextual data; retrieving from the database the alternative argument values corresponding to the detected argument type; outputting a graphical instruction, the graphical instruction comprising a selectable element representing the detected argument type; upon detection of a second user input on the selectable element for selection of an alternative argument value, outputting retrieved alternative argument values being filtered using the compatibility mesh and the contextual data; and upon selection of one argument value, providing an instruction to the remote electronic device based on the selected argument value.

Abstract: A first interaction indication is intercepted from a user interface to interact with a first portion of the user interface. The user interface currently displaying a thumbnail representative of an application window. It is determined from the user interface that the first interaction indication is directed towards the thumbnail representative of the application window. Transmission of the first interaction indication to the use interface is canceled. A thumbnail position of the first interaction indication is calculated. The calculation is based on a position of the first interaction indication before cancelation. The calculated thumbnail position of the first interaction indication is translated to an application position of the application window. A second interaction indication is generated. The second interaction indication is directed towards the application position of the application window.

Abstract: A computer system transforms data. A first user builds a flow diagram. Each node in the flow diagram specifies an operation: to retrieve data, to transform data, or to create an output dataset. The flow diagram includes a subgraph having a plurality of nodes. When the first user initiates execution, the system performs the operations in the subgraph sequentially as specified. When the first user requests the system to save the flow diagram, the system stores the subgraph. The system displays a user interface and the subgraph in the user interface. A second user requests the system to build another flow diagram based on the subgraph. In response, the system retrieves the subgraph from memory. When the second user requests the system to execute the flow diagram built by the second user, the system performs the operations of the nodes in the subgraph sequentially as specified in the subgraph.

Abstract: A second touch zoom solution allows maintaining selection control, and movement of a selection point, during zoom operations not possible through traditional pinch-zoom. A first finger touch to a touch screen establishes a hot spot, selection, or one-finger gesture. Before the first finger is lifted from the touch screen, a second finger is placed on the screen and serves as a zoom control. Dragging the second finger away from the first zooms in; toward the first zooms out. Dragging the first finger does not affect the zoom, even if the motion changes the difference between the two fingers. When the second finger is lifted, the zoom level stays where it is. When the first finger is lifted, the zoom returns to the zoom level before the gesture began.

Abstract: To provide a user with descriptive images for each function performed by a button, the embodiments described herein use a transforming graphical expression that presents different images depending on the particular function the button is currently performing. For example, if the button is used to increase speaker volume, the graphical expression may display plus sign, but if the button is currently being used to navigate through a display menu, the graphical expression may be transformed into an arrow to indicate the direction a selection element in the menu moves if the button is activated. Thus, as the current function of the button changes, the graphical expression presented to the user also changes. In this manner, the same button may be used to perform multiple functions while presenting to a user a customized graphical expression indicating the current function of the button.

Abstract: An electronic device detects a gesture input while displaying first content including a first hyperlink in a first window and a second window that includes second content. In response to detecting the gesture input, and in accordance with a determination that the gesture input corresponds to a first gesture type on the first hyperlink, the electronic device replaces display of the first content in the first window with display of third content that is associated with the first hyperlink. In response to detecting the gesture input, and in accordance with a determination that the gesture input corresponds to a second gesture type on the first hyperlink, the electronic device replaces display of the second content in the second window with display of the third content that is associated with the first hyperlink.

Abstract: A link curvature processing module enables a user with the ability to control the curvature of links in a node-link diagram. As a node-link diagram is displayed to a user, the user may interact with the diagram and adjust the curvature of one or more links in the diagram to improve the readability of the diagram. The user's modification to the curvature of a link alters the shape of the link so that the position of the nodes connected to the link does not change. By providing the user with such control, the user is able to tailor the visual display of the links to the user's preference.
