Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method are provided for capturing a first and second set of data. A first navigation profile is formed from the first set of data and a second navigation profile is formed from the second set of data. The formed navigation profiles are aggregated and a combined viewing pattern is identified from the aggregation. A portion of the data file is recommended for a second viewing based on the combined viewing pattern and the recommended portion of the data file is displayed on a visual display. Gestural navigation is supported within the displayed portion including navigating between graphical representations of data categories.

Abstract: Recommending and graphically displaying viewed video data sensitive to the viewing pattern of a user. Responsive to viewing a plurality of video frames of a video file, a navigation profile is captured to document the viewing pattern of the video frames. Specifically, attributes of the video frames are documented such as the frequency of plays of the video frames. Where multiple navigation profiles are captured, the navigation profiles are stored, aggregated, and represented graphically on a display. Additional video may be recommended based on the aggregated data.

Abstract: A distance between a mobile device of a user and each of a number of other devices is determined. The other devices can include mobile devices of other users associated with the user and stationary devices associated with the user. Current values of sensors can be received; each sensor corresponds to one of the other devices. A current situation of the user is determined based on the distances between the mobile device and the other devices and on the current values of the sensors. An action is performed based on the current situation. The action can include selecting and displaying an advertisement appropriate to the current situation, and posting a social networking service post corresponding to the current situation on a social networking service.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for presenting search term suggestions on a graphical user interface (GUI) are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A first keyword is extracted from a first suggested search term, the first suggested search term being a member of a subset of a set of suggested search terms. On the GUI a first graphical artifact is identified, wherein the first graphical artifact relates to the first keyword. The first graphical artifact is modified such that a modified first graphical artifact presents a default function of the first graphical artifact, and a first function of the modified first graphical artifact on the GUI. The modified first graphical artifact is presented on the GUI to receive one of a default input and a first input.

Abstract: An approach is provided for managing power usage in a mobile device upon predicting a natural calamity. The approach calculates a total power requirement and a next possible recharge time of the mobile device based on the predicted natural calamity characteristics. The approach further restricts one or more services on the mobile devices to reduce battery consumption by the mobile device. The restriction of services on the mobile device being based on the calculated total power requirement and the next possible recharge time.

Abstract: A video is divided into portions and has objects. Each object appears in one or more portions. A graphical diagram is generated and displayed that has graphical elements corresponding to the objects. Each graphical element has a size corresponding to a number and/or size of the portions in which the object to which the graphical element corresponds appears. The graphical elements have locations within the graphical diagram in correspondence with relationships of appearance of the objects within the portions. Selection of a point or area within the graphical diagram is received. Which of the graphical elements include the point or area are determined as one or more selected graphical elements corresponding to one or more selected objects. Which of the portions include all the selected objects are determined and output as one or more selected portions.

Abstract: In a touch-based device presenting a media content playback, a first increment of a first control is determined. The first control allows a user to move forward or back in the media content in steps of the first increment using a touch-based gesture. A second increment and a size of a second control is computed using the first increment and a factor. The second increment is smaller than the first increment. The second control is constructed and presented according to the second increment and the size of the second control, the second control allowing the user to move forward or back in the media content in steps of the second increment. Responsive to the user using the second control, a forward or back movement in the media content by a multiple of the second increment is performed.

Abstract: A server computing device for a social networking web site receives from a user, via access of the web site, confidential information regarding the user, including information that the user does not socially share on the web site. The device associates the confidential information with a user identifier that uniquely identifies the user on the web site, and with an export group identifier corresponding to a type of the confidential information. The device associates the export group identifier with a password different from a user password the user employs to access the web site. The device receives, from a third party, a purported user identifier, a purported export group identifier, and a purported password, which the device validates against the user identifier, the export group identifier, and the password. Where validation is successful, the device permits access to the confidential information by the third party.

Abstract: For categorizing content, a categorizing module categorizes content of a content stream into a category of a plurality of categories. A recording module records a navigation action directed to first content of the content stream. The recording module further elevates a ranking of a first category associated with the first content in response to the navigation action. In addition, the recording module displays highest ranking categories for selection.

Abstract: A mobile wireless communication device has an emergency mode. The mobile wireless communication device can enter the emergency mode automatically and without user interaction, responsive to an instruction to do so. Upon entering the emergency mode, information related to an emergency functionality of the emergency mode is transmitted to an emergency response computing device.
