Abstract: A method and apparatus configured to implement a Drag Menu for providing data service includes selecting menu items from a menu of a mobile device. A processor of a mobile device causes a base icon to be displayed on a touch-sensitive display of the mobile device at a position easy to access by a user of the mobile device with a finger of a hand of the user when the user is holding the mobile device with only the hand. This causes the processor to display a plurality of context menu items in at least a partial ring around the base icon. The processor also causes a plurality of global menu items to be displayed on the display in at least a partial ring around the context menu items. The processor accesses or implements an action associated with one of the menu items in response to the user using a drag gesture from the base icon to one menu item on the touch-sensitive display.

Abstract: A device has a first configuration as a display device and a second configuration as a virtual reality headset. The device includes a viewable panel and a shape changing panel. The viewable panel is configured to show data to a user in the first configuration and configured to show data as VR content in the second configuration. The shape changing panel is disposed over the viewable panel and is configured to generate surface deformations at selected areas of the shape changing panel. The viewable panel and the shape changing panel have a flexibility for the rollable display to encircle around the head of the user that converts the rollable display from the first configuration to the second configuration. The surface deformations are generated on areas of the shape changing panel corresponding to eyes and a nose of the user.

Abstract: A control application of a media playback system controls playback of media content by a media playback system. The application receives, from a media streaming service, a page object that identifies (i) a page format identifier, (ii) page content data, (iii) a set of page elements, and (iv) a respective element format identifier for each page element of the set of page elements. The application determines a first set of formatting rules using the page format identifier and displays a corresponding page that includes the page content data formatted using the first set of formatting rules. The application asynchronously receives media content data identifying media content available for streaming. Based on a respective element format identifier of the page element associated with the media content data, the application determines a second set of formatting rules, which the application uses to update the displayed page to display the media content data.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to automatically synthesizing user interface (UI) component instances. In disclosed techniques a computer system receives a set of existing UI elements and a set of design rules for the set of existing elements, where design rules in the set of design rules indicate one or more allowed states for respective UI elements in the set of existing UI elements. The one or more allowed states may correspond to one or more visual characteristics. Using the set of existing UI elements, the computer system may then automatically generate a plurality of UI component instances based on the set of design rules, where a respective UI component instance includes a first UI element in a first allowed state. The computer system may then train, using the plurality of UI component instances, a machine learning model operable to automatically generate UI designs.
