Abstract: Rules with user adaptable controls are created that are not automatically applied to a given email. Instead, satisfaction of the rule triggers a suggestion to the person viewing the mail to take a certain mailbox management action such as, for example, to forward the email to a particular person, tag with a particular category, flag for follow-up at a certain point in time, etc. The rule filters the email as always but the user is given control as to what to do when the rule is satisfied. The notification that is triggered by the rule can be preselected to provide available options to the user with a simple click or can simply provide comments that are cleared by selecting “OK.” Such rules with user adaptable controls may execute multiple mailbox management actions in one step, and also may be used to implement company email policies to help guide employees to follow the correct corporate email protocols.

Abstract: In one example, a smart mirror. The smart mirror includes a display adjacent one side of a half-mirror, sensors to acquire biometric information of a user facing an opposite side of the half-mirror, and a controller coupled to the sensors and the display. The controller determines from the biometric information a focal distance of the user. If the focal distance corresponds to the display, the controller presents a user interface on the smart mirror in a highly-visible manner and a reflection of the user in a less-visible manner. If the focal distance corresponds to the reflection of the user, the controller presents the user interface on the smart mirror in a less-visible manner and the reflection of the user in a highly-visible manner.

Abstract: An example electronic device includes a touch-sensitive display and a processor. The processor is to, in response to detecting a set of touches on the touch-sensitive display, cause a virtual keyboard to be displayed on the touch-sensitive display. The processor is also to set distinct areas of the touch-sensitive display corresponding to the set of touches as distinct initial positions. The processor is further to determine a key selection of the virtual keyboard based on a distance of a continuous slide gesture that starts at an initial position of the initial positions and ends at the initial position.
