Abstract: A method of adaptive online user profiles includes displaying a website for a particular topic of interest based on a user request, receiving a request from the user to display user profile data, obtaining the user profile data, the user profile data including topic-area-specific user-specific profile information for multiple topic areas, comparing a topic area of the displayed website to a topic area for each topic-area-specific user-specific profile information, and displaying the user profile data such that the topic-area-specific user-specific profile information most closely matching the topic area of the displayed website is displayed most prominently.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for dynamically modifying images based on the content of articles associated with the images, particularly the emotional content of an article. Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure allow users to quickly and easily identify the emotional nature of an article based on such an image. Characteristics of an image associated with an article may also be modified in response to comments from viewers regarding the article.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for presenting content to users using desktop widgets. Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure allow users to quickly and easily access content (such as news articles) from their home screen without having to independently start a software application to do so.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for presenting content to users using expanding menus. Among other things, the expanding menus allow a range of categories of content to be simultaneously presented to a user on a display, even on smaller devices where display space is at a premium.

Abstract: Many applications may display information through lists. For example, an email application may display a current visual interface comprising a list of emails. A gesture input may be received for an item within the item list. Responsive to receiving the gesture input, the item may be selected. In an example, the item list may be transitioned into an editing mode based upon the gesture input. While in the editing mode, context indicators (e.g., indicating whether an email item has been read or is unread) may be modified (e.g., shrunk) and/or selection indicators may be displayed for items within the item list. A selection indicator may be selected to select a corresponding item. In this way, gesture input (e.g., single gesture) may be used to select items and/or to transition the item list into the editing mode without transitioning away from the item list.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for delivering various types of content (such as news articles) to users. Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure help provide users with concise articles containing the best content from a variety of sources, and present such content in a task-oriented manner that is finite and incentivizes the user to review the content.
