Abstract: A virtual library of content is provided that makes it appear that the content is all of a supported file type for a particular client accessing the virtual library. When the virtual library is displayed at a client device, the content appears as if it is available in the appropriate format for the client device irrespective of the content's actual format. Content selected from a content library interface for the virtual library is provided in the appropriate format for the client device through the automatic invoking of a content access service. The content access service can determine the appropriate consumption format for the client device and convert to a supported file format any content that is in a non-supported format before providing the content to the client device.

Abstract: An on-board vehicle navigation system (NAV system) may provide a variety of information and may be integrated with a variety of on-board vehicle systems or features. The NAV system may have the display set to show information about a single system in a full screen mode or have the display divided to show information about multiple systems simultaneously (mixed display mode). The NAV system may allow the user to select an automatic switching from a mixed display mode to a full display mode upon the occurrence of predetermined system conditions. The full display mode may be temporary and automatically return back to the previous display mode or may require a user acknowledgement prior to returning back to the previous display mode. The switch to the full display mode allows more information to be communicated to the user.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for creating and providing reminders that involve an activity states of an application on a device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for sharing maps in a collaborative environment using classification-based access control. The generation of and dissemination of maps and/or data within such maps can be governed by classification-based access control, where a user's classification level can determine whether or not maps and/or data within those maps can be seen. In some scenarios, a user may wish to reveal the existence of data and/or additional details within a limited geographical area or subset of a map. The systems and methods further provide a geo-fenced view that can dynamically declassify data (to a specified degree). For example, declassified details can be revealed for moving data sets or objects upon entry into the geo-fenced view, and upon existing the geo-fenced view, the moving data sets or objects are reclassified.

In the index panel, ones of a plurality of icons respectively represent ones of the set of data blocks and are arranged in layers representing the logical layers.

Abstract: Techniques and arrangements for dynamically modifying a user interface on a computing device of a point-of-sale (POS) system based on a location of the computing device. The location can be associated with a functionality of the user interface. The user interface can include one or more icons corresponding to selectable items that correspond to the functionality. A modification to the user interface can include an adjustment to a visual appearance of an icon and/or a replacement of an icon with another icon.

Abstract: A template built by a user may be converted by a Server Script Generation Engine (SSGE) into script code. In converting, the SSGE may load and parse a framework file containing static script syntax to locate insertion points, each associated with an iteration number, and may iteratively parse the template, utilizing the iteration number to resolve, in order, tags and sub-tags contained in the template. If a tag is set to respond to the iteration number, a function of the tag is invoked to process any related sub-tags and return a script associated therewith at the appropriate insertion point. The framework file (with the appropriate script code inserted) is compiled and stored in a compiled script object which can be run multiple times to perform all of the output functions expected by the user in lieu of the need to reconvert the template.

Abstract: An electronic device and an operating method thereof are disclosed. The electronic device includes a main body, a display configured to display a 3D screen corresponding to virtual reality content, a controller, when an event occurs from at least one application while the 3D screen is displayed, configured to output notification information notifying an event occurrence in correspondence to the 3D screen, and a sensor configured to sense a degree of movement of a user when the notification information is output. At this time, when the degree of movement of the user sensed during the event satisfies a predetermined condition, the 3D screen is replaced with dummy content related to the 3D screen; and the dummy content disappears when the event ends.

Abstract: A computer-implemented technique is described herein that receives captured stroke information when a user enters a handwritten note using an input capture device. The technique then analyzes the captured stroke information to produce output analysis information. Based on the output analysis information, the technique modifies the captured stroke information into an actionable form that contains one or more actionable content items, while otherwise preserving the original form of the captured stroke information. The technique then presents the modified stroke information on a canvas display device. The user may subsequently activate one or more actionable content items in the modified stroke information to perform various supplemental tasks that pertain to the handwritten note. In one case, for example, the technique can recognize the presence of entity items and/or list items in the note and then reproduce them in an actionable form.

Abstract: In some implementations, windows can be displayed based on a global z-order. The global z-order can be maintained for all open windows. The global z-order can include windows that are not currently displayed. The global z-order can define a display order of windows across multiple workspaces. In some implementations, workspaces can be associated with respective levels. The workspace levels can be used to determine how to display windows associated with each workspace when multiple workspaces are displayed simultaneously.

Abstract: Method for delivering an immersive remote desktop involves a client server session involving a server computer and a client computer. The server computer accesses image data representative of at least one of an application window and a desktop associated with a graphical user interface (GUI). The image data is used to generate one or more stereoscopic image pairs. The client computer incorporates the one or more stereoscopic image pairs in a 3D composite presentation in which one or more of the stereoscopic image pairs are displayed in side-by-side (SBS) configuration to create a 3D visual effect.
