Abstract: A server may store application objects for a plurality of application scenarios of an application. The server may receive from a remote terminal configured to access a first application scenario, an operation message indicative of an interaction with an interactive graphic displayed on the remote terminal. The interactive graphic may be representative of an application object for a second application scenario. The server may select from the application objects, a group application objects for the second application scenario. The group of application objects not include the application object represented by the interactive graphic displayed on the remote terminal. The server may include, in a cache configured for the first application scenario, the selected group of application objects for the second application scenario. The server may cause the remote terminal to display interactive graphics corresponding to the selected group of application objects that are included in the cache.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a banded slider application obtains values from users via a banded slider. In operation, the banded slider application generates a banded slider that includes multiple sections. Notably, the interior of a section included in the banded slider is visually distinguishable from an interior of another section that is adjacent to the section. Subsequently, the banded slider application performs operation(s) to display the banded slider and, in response, receives a user selection of a location along the banded slider. The banded slider application then computes a specified value based on the location. Advantageously, empirical evidence shows that the banded slider enables precise and/or repeatable specification of values without inducing bias associated with an inherent propensity for users to select locations that are at or near the decorations (e.g., tick marks) along conventional sliders.

In an example, operations for clustering and analysis of commands performed in a user interface may include: processing data that identifies a set of commands used in a software application; identifying coordinated usage of respective commands of the set of commands; identifying clusters of commands based on the coordinated usage among the respective commands; defining associations within the clusters of commands based on relevancy, wherein the relevancy is determined for a respective cluster from clustering parameters such as a confidence value and a support level value; and identifying output features in the software application based on the clusters of commands. In a further example, the output features may include a presentation of a suggested command, or a change to a presentation of a user interface object.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method plays, a media program in a media player operating in a first mode on an interface. A change in a condition is detected for the media player. Then, the method switches from the first mode to a second mode based on the change in the condition. The second mode restricts movement of the media player. The media player is moved from a first position to a second position upon switching to the second mode and the media player continues to play the media program in the second position.

Abstract: Methods for performing a structured collection procedure by utilizing a collection device are disclosed herein, in which a collection procedure is initiated for performing one or more data collections for one or more data event instances occurring according to a schedule of events. Each data event instance is determined to be successful or unsuccessful on the basis of actual performance of the data collection and meeting certain conditions of the predetermined adherence criteria for the data event instance. Contextual information for successful data collections is generated and a data file generated for storing records relating to successful data collections. For unsuccessful data event instances, substitute data relating to data collections performed separately from the collection procedure are included in the data file records for the collection procedure if the substitute data is determined to meet conditions of the predetermined adherence criterion for the corresponding data event instance.

Abstract: Uses of an online system include a target user and other users that are connected to the target users. The online system presents a content item received from a target user to the other users. The online system receives comments on the content item from the users and a selection of one of the comments from a user. The online system provides one or more types of actions (e.g., adding the comment to the content item or highlighting the comment) on the comment that the user can take. Upon receiving a selection of adding the comment, the online system modifies the content item to include the comment. Upon receiving a selecting of highlighting the comment, the online system associates a highlighting feature to the comment. The online system provides the modified content item or highlighted comment for display to the plurality of users.

Abstract: Interaction-based ecosystems are presented. Interaction analysis engine analyze media content to derive a set of media features. The engine can then identify one or more interaction objects (e.g., transactions, searches, game play, etc.) based on the set of media features. Relevant interaction objects can then be instantiated as persistent available or active points of interaction readily accessed by a consumer. The consumer need only capture a digital representation of the content via a user device, a smart phone for example. A second set of media features can be derived from the digital representation and the second set of media features can then be used to find the instantiated interactions.

Abstract: The unified system for bimanual interactions provides a lightweight and integrated interface that allows the user to efficiently interact with and manipulate content in the user interface. The system is configured to detect a multi-finger interaction on the touchscreen and to differentiate whether the user intends to pan, zoom or frame a portion of the user interface. Generally, the framing interaction is identified by detection of the user's thumb and forefinger on the touchscreen, which cooperate to define a focus area between vectors extending outwards from the user's thumb and forefinger. Upon a determination that the user intends to interact with or manipulate content within the focus area, the unified system for bimanual interactions provides an indication of the objects that are located within the focus area and contextual menus for interacting with the objects.
