  • Patent number: 8977645
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs stored on computer storage media, for accessing a search interface from a structured presentation. One aspect can be embodied in machine-implemented methods that include the actions of displaying a structured presentation on a display device, receiving data characterizing a user interaction with the displayed structured presentation, the data including a specification of a first instance and a first attribute of the structured presentation, and displaying a formerly concealed search interface on the display device in response to receiving the data.

  • Publication number: 20140033035
    Abstract: A user interface and methods for using a user interface for controlling processing of time-based media files. In one exemplary method, a graphical representation of a time line for a time-based media is displayed along with a graphical representation of a current time along the graphical representation of the time line. A start graphical indicator and a stop graphical indicator is also displayed along the graphical representation of the time line. A portion of the time-based media may be selected for presentation by dragging or positioning at least one of the start graphical indicator and the stop graphical indicator along the graphical representation of the time line. In another aspect of the invention, an exemplary method allows for the adaptive control of a portion of the interface which indicates time relating to a time-based media. An input speed is determined where this input is to change the portion and the rate at which the change to this portion occurs is dependent upon the input speed.

  • Publication number: 20100185651
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs stored on computer storage media, for retrieval and display of information from an unstructured electronic document collection. One aspect can be embodied in machine-implemented methods that include the actions of receiving a machine-readable search query from a user and responding to the search query with instructions for presenting the user with a structured presentation of instances relevant to the search query. A visual presentation of the structured presentation denotes associations between the instances and values that characterize attributes of the instances by virtue of an arrangement of identifiers of the instances and the values.
