  • Patent number: 10168812
    Abstract: This application describes, in part, system and methods for reducing unintentional performance of actions, such as orders, on a computing device. In some implementations, ordering may be controlled by identifying an input within an action region and determining that the input is an intentional input before completing an order. For example, to be considered an intentional input, the input may need to remain in an action region for a predetermined time duration, or may need to move across a majority of the action region.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9317616
    Abstract: Some examples provide for content updates based on the state of content described at least partially in a markup language and caused to be displayed in a browser window. A web application causes the content to be displayed and tracks state changes of the content caused by user interactions with the displayed content. The web application causes the display of updates to the content that are received responsive to requests sent based on the user interactions. The web application can exclude from display those updates that are associated with an outdated state of the content.

  • Patent number: 9230342
    Abstract: Some implementations create a representation of content to enable the representation to be displayed on a computing device. For example, the computing device may be a portable device that has a display device with a size that is constrained relative to other display devices. The representation may be created to enable the computing device to display the representation while maintaining a hierarchical structure of the content. To create the representation, the hierarchical structure of the content may be traversed and at least a portion of some of the nodes of the hierarchical structure may be selected for inclusion in the representation.
