Abstract: An augmented reality or virtual reality (AR/VR) device pairs with a companion device to augment input interfaces associated with an AR/VR application at the AR/VR device. In implementations, an AR/VR device determines a portion of a markup file that corresponds to an AR/VR scene of a plurality of AR/VR scenes in an AR/VR environment, and communicates the portion of the markup file to the companion device to cause the companion device to configure a companion user interface associated with initiating an action as part of the AR/VR scene. In response to receiving user input via the companion user interface, the companion device communicates the action to the AR/VR device to initiate the action. The AR/VR device receives input data from the companion device, and initiates the action for the AR/VR scene.

Abstract: The subject technology displays an application window showing first contents of a given level of a hierarchical content structure associated with an electronic device. Upon receiving a first user input, a navigation bar is displayed. The navigation bar displays a path including levels for arriving at the first contents within the hierarchical content structure. The displayed path is determined based on metadata associated with contents displayed in the application window. Responsive to a user selection of one of the items of the hierarchical content structure displayed in the navigation bar, content items displayed in the application window are changed.

Abstract: Visually selecting application activities can include superimposing a visual selector overlay on a page displayed on a device, the page corresponding to a foreground activity. The superimposing can be responsive to receiving user input invoking the foreground activity. Contextual information corresponding to the foreground activity can be detected. The contextual information can be presented to the user visually within the visual selector overlay. The contextual information can be automatically added to a list and the list stored electronically on the device in response to received user input. The list can be configured to contain contextual information selected from page displays corresponding to a plurality of activities relating to one or more apps stored on the device.

Abstract: A plurality of constraint relationships in a UI are identified and grouped into two types, a constraint relationship of a first type is solved in an integrated development environment (IDE), and a constraint relationship of a second type is a constraint relationship solved in a terminal or the IDE. The plurality of constraint relationships are used to determine a layout of one or more components in the UI. The IDE calculates a first intermediate solution set based on the constraint relationship of the first type in the plurality of constraint relationships. The first intermediate solution set is used to determine the layout of the one or more components in the UI together with the constraint relationship of the second type.

Abstract: A system and method of creating electronic characters in one or more electronic formats, selectively customizing the characters, and presenting them via electronic channels in response to satisfaction of one or more programmable conditions is disclosed. The system enables entities to competitively bid to customize the personality and/or other attribute of a character. For example, a character may be presented via an electronic channel to an audience (e.g., one or more end users who view, listen to, or otherwise experience a character through an electronic channel). An entity may bid on altering that character's personality and/or other attribute. If the entity's bid is selected by the system (e.g., over other bids that also compete to alter one or more attributes of that character), the system customizes the character's personality and/or other attribute according to the winning bid's customization, and presents the customized character via the electronic channel to the audience.

The electronic device renders the target card based on a first layout snapshot, displays the target card on a display screen, parses a first file package set of the target card to obtain a second rendering instruction set, selects a rendering instruction in the second rendering instruction set other than a first rendering instruction set, renders again the target card according to the selected rendering instruction, and updates the target card displayed on the display screen.

Abstract: A smart digital computer platform is disclosed that collects, analyzes, and/or renders appropriate information about fugitive emissions identified by a sensor network-based emissions monitoring system in a facility. More specifically to the methods used by the smart digital computer platform to analyze, filter, and transform the collected monitoring data into a visual output that is capable of being rendered on a graphical user interface (GUI) on a screen display with, in some embodiments, a restricted form factor. For example, smart analytics may be used to cull, filter, and transform the data displayed in a pop-up dialog box on a GUI. In another example, the transformed data may be translated into a visual, graphical element that conveys an abundance of appropriate, tailored information to a particular type of user viewing the GUI.

Abstract: An application launching user interface that includes a plurality of application icons for launching corresponding applications is displayed. A first touch input is detected on a first application icon of the plurality of application icons. The first application icon is for launching a first application that is associated with one or more corresponding quick actions. If the first touch input meets one or more application-launch criteria which require that the first touch input has ended without having met a first input threshold, the first application is launched in response to the first touch input. If the first touch input meets one or more quick-action-display criteria which require that the first touch input meets the first input threshold, one or more quick action objects associated with the first application are concurrently displayed along with the first application icon without launching the first application, in response to the first touch input.

Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for executing process flows. A package including flow permission metadata indicating a set of flow permissions associated with a set of flows is obtained. Upon receiving a request to initiate execution of a flow in the set of flows, the flow permission metadata is accessed. The flow includes a plurality of flow elements, where each of the flow elements represents a corresponding set of computer-readable instructions. Based upon the set of flow permissions of the flow permission metadata, it is determined whether the user is permitted to execute the flow. Execution of the flow is initiated upon determining that the user is permitted to execute the flow. During execution of the flow, flow performance data such as an identification of paths of the flow that have been traversed may be obtained, where each of the paths corresponds to one or more of the flow elements.
