  • Patent number: 9292413
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention pertains to debugging program code associated with graphical objects, wherein the code responds to events of user interactions with the object. A menu is generated that includes user interaction events, and an associated program window is adapted to present the menu to a user when requested, wherein the user can select user interaction events from the menu. For each selected event, the method identifies a component of the program code that is responsive to that selected event. The method further includes setting a breakpoint in the program code in selected relationship with each identified program code component, wherein the subsequent occurrence of one of the selected user interaction events triggers a corresponding one of the breakpoints.

  • Patent number: 9280795
    Abstract: In a method for creating a social networking check-in location for social networking applications, a computer receives a geographic location for each user computing device in a plurality of user computing devices. The computer determines a portion of the plurality of user computing devices that exhibit an area density exceeding a threshold. The area density is defined as a number of user computing devices per unit area. The computer receives two or more social networking messages from the portion of the plurality of user computing devices. The computer determines a common subject between the two or more social networking messages. The computer creates a social networking check-in location.
