  • Patent number: 11061908
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods, and computer readable media for performing actions in response to information updates provided in an information feed. In one implementation, an information update is selected for comparison with a data record creation rule. The data record creation rule may specify a data record creation operation for creating a data record based the selected information update. The selected information update may be capable of being displayed in an information feed. A determination may be made as to whether the selected information update includes information satisfying a trigger condition associated with the data record creation rule. When the information in the selected information update satisfies the trigger condition, the data record creation operation may be performed to create the data record. The data record creation operation may identify information to include in the data record.

  • Patent number: 8762870
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of managing functions for objects associated with an interactive application presented on a display begins by providing a plurality of images that represent different selectable objects. The method also provides a drag-and-drop graphical user interface (GUI) element to accommodate drag-and-drop selection from the plurality of images, the drag-and-drop GUI element having a control element to initiate a function. The method continues by populating the drag-and-drop GUI element with a first image that represents a first selectable object, and thereafter receiving a command in response to activation of the control element. In response to receiving the command, the method performs the function on the first selectable object.

  • Publication number: 20140108132
    Abstract: Disclosed are implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media for preserving electronic advertisements identified during a computing session. In some implementations, user input data indicating a selection of an electronic advertisement is received. Ad impression data is stored that identifies: the selected electronic advertisement as a candidate for later access, and one or more context attributes providing contextual information identifying a user interface environment in which the electronic advertisement was selected. The ad impression data including the one or more context attributes can be provided to a display device.

  • Publication number: 20120101985
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods, and computer readable media for performing actions in response to information updates provided in an information feed. In one implementation, an information update to be displayed in an information feed may be received. The information feed may be capable of being displayed on a display device. The information update may be associated with a data object. A determination may be made as to whether the information update includes a designated keyword, the keyword being designated in association with a first user account. When the information update includes the designated keyword, a data value may be set to an indication that the first user account is following the data object such that updates related to the data object are capable of being stored as feed items in a feed table.
