  • Publication number: 20210097133
    Abstract: A system and method for personalizing a display of a recommendation in a user interface element of an application is described. The system accesses application activities of a user of the application. A user preference is formed based on the application activities. The system identifies a context of a current activity of the application and generates a content recommendation in the application based on the context of the current activity of the application and the user preference.

  • Patent number: 8352877
    Abstract: Various embodiments related to the adjustment of a displayed range of a portion of a content selection are disclosed. In one embodiment, a computing device with an interactive display is configured to display a portion of a content selection and a control associated with the content selection. The control comprises a track and an indicator that indicates a location and a range of the portion of the content selection within the content selection as a whole. A first type of input associated with the control alters the range of the portion of the content selection displayed relative to the content selection as a whole and adjusts an appearance of the indicator, while a second type of touch input associated with the control alters a portion of the content selection displayed and moves the indicator on the track.

  • Patent number: 8212784
    Abstract: An interactive media display system is provided to display media associated with a selected geographic area based on a gesture input of user. The interactive media display system may include a touch-sensitive display surface configured to display a geographic map and receive a gesture input generated by a user on the touch-sensitive display surface while the geographic map is displayed, the gesture input defining a selected geographic area on the geographic map. The system may further include a controller configured, in response to the gesture input, to filter the media data based on position data to determine a filtered media data collection including media that are associated with the selected geographic area, and to command the touch-sensitive display surface to display the media in the filtered media data collection.

  • Publication number: 20100287513
    Abstract: A system is provided for enabling cross-device gesture-based interactivity. The system includes a first computing device with a first display operative to display an image item, and a second computing device with a second display. The second display is operative to display a corresponding representation of the image item in response to a gesture which is applied to one of the computing devices and spatially interpreted based on a relative position of the first computing device and the second computing device.

  • Patent number: 7630522
    Abstract: Biometric data are produced in response to user input to an interactive display. The user input occurs when the interactive display senses a user input proximate to an interactive display surface that is able to respond to simultaneous multiple inputs. A detection signal based on a user input is processed to identify biometric indicia associated with the user input. User input can be by any biometric entity, such as an animal—not just by a human. Based on the biometric indicia identified, user biometric data are produced. The user biometric data includes parameters describing physical characteristics associated with the portion of the user that provided the user input. The biometric data can be compared to stored biometric data associated with a specific user and/or user profile, e.g., to enable access by the user to an account, and can also be employed to provide other functions, such sizing information, to applications.

  • Publication number: 20070038894
    Abstract: Test data is generated by executing code in a software application. The test data may be verified using a verification module. The code is executed based on test conditions. The verification module accesses a verification reference to obtain verification rules and values. Each verification rule is associated with values that are used to compare the test data and the verification rule. The verification rules are used to evaluate the test results to determine whether the test results comply with expected results. Based on the evaluation, a determination is made whether the software application under test functioned properly.

  • Publication number: 20060101404
    Abstract: Described are techniques and mechanisms that implement an automated process for testing a Web application. Generally stated, a recording tool resident on a Web server records the requests that are issued by browsing software to the Web application. The requests that are recorded are stored in classes that are test-scenario specific and browser specific. On a test device, a browser simulation object is used to replay the recorded requests in the proper order and formatted in accordance with the browser. Different browser simulation objects are used to simulate the different types of browsing software.
