Abstract: A method includes displaying via a processor a user interface on a display screen of a computing device, detecting a selection of a portion of the first user interface, generating a clip configured to include the selected portion of the user interface as content. The method further includes displaying the generated clip on the display screen to enable a user of the mobile device to review the content, and maintaining the display of the generated clip on the display screen even after the user interface is no longer displayed on the display screen.

Abstract: A system and method are presented for automatically switching to different applications, settings, or GUIs based on orientation of a mobile device. The system provides a user with the ability to maximize screen “real estate,” limit the number of user inputs required to perform a particular action, and to maximize efficiency when using a mobile device. In some examples, the system allows a user to access multiple applications or user menus by changing the mobile device's orientation from a first orientation to a second orientation. The system may also allow the user to establish which actions take place upon changing the mobile device's orientation.

Abstract: A device is configured to receive a message associated with a group chat. The group chat may include a communication session among a set of user devices including a first user device and a second user device. The device is configured to receive an indication that the message is confidential and designate the message as a confidential messaged based on the indication. The device is configured to determine that the first user device is authorized to display the message and that the second user device is not authorized to display the message. The device is configured to provide the confidential message to the first user device for display as part of the group chat, and to provide a blocked version of the confidential message to the second user device for display as part of the group chat.

Abstract: A device may be configured to cause a plurality of lines of text to be presented for display. The device may detect a user action performed by a user and determine a first line of text the user is reading based on the user action. The device may cause an indicator for a second line of text to be presented for display based on the first line of text. The second line of text may follow the first line of text.

Abstract: An approach is provided for transferring one or more files to a cloud storage service, a local storage service and/or a file sharing service based on user interaction with the user interface element. The approach involves presenting a user interface element at a device, wherein the user interface element represents a file. The approach also involves receiving an input for specifying an interaction with the user interface element. The approach further involves determining that the interaction indicates a request to initiate a transfer operation between the device and a service. Additionally, the approach involves initiating the transfer operation on the file based on the interaction.
