Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing a custom query of a media universe database. A plurality of content items are generated based at least in part on a media universe database. The media universe database is configured to store a plurality of elements of media universe content related to a media universe. The content items are sent to a client. From the client is received input indicating a combination of the content items. The combination comprises a selection of two or more of the content items. The media universe database is queried for additional content relevant to the two or more of the content items in the combination. The additional content is sent to the client.

Abstract: A media universe database is configured to store a plurality of elements of media universe content related to a media universe. An analysis of a digital video is performed. Based at least in part on the analysis, a correspondence is determined between one or more objects in the digital video and respective elements of the media universe content. An interactive digital video is generated based on the digital video. The interactive digital video comprises a plurality of video frames including one or more interactive video frames. The one or more interactive video frames comprise one or more interactive objects corresponding to the elements of media universe content.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods for aligning and concurrently presenting guide device video data of an environment and an enhancement corresponding to the environment. With the described implementations, users may virtually experience an environment at a destination location from their own user device and also concurrently view historical and/or future representations of that environment (enhancement) concurrently with current representations of the environment. The user may select the amount of the enhancement or the guide device video data that is presented to the user as part of the experience. Likewise, the guide device video data and enhancement remain aligned as they are presented to the user.

Abstract: A user can use a stylus to share content between the user's account and second user's account. When the user uses the stylus with a computing device, the stylus can send an identifier to the computing device. The user can also select to share content from the user's account with the second user's account. The computing device can send the identifier of the stylus and a request to share the content with the second user's account to a server that hosts the accounts. The server can associate the content with the second user's account. The server can send the content to the second user's computing device.

Abstract: A stylus may comprise a configurable profile to control one or more local and remote operational features. The stylus may comprise a main body configured to receive a nib having an identifier and a sensor configured to detect the identifier of the nib, wherein the identifier is associated with a configurable profile including information for controlling at least one operational feature of the stylus. A sensory feedback element may be configured to provide one or more of a tactile, audible, and visual feedback based at least in part on the configurable profile.

Abstract: A computing device can coordinate haptic action with a stylus. The computing device can receive an indication of the stylus from the stylus and determine that coordinated haptic action is associated with a user input. The computing device can send haptic instructions to the stylus where the haptic instructions are based at least in part on the coordinated haptic action. The stylus can activate its haptic actuator in response to receiving the haptic instruction. The computing device can also activate its haptic actuator based at least in part on the coordinated haptic action.

Abstract: Approaches enable a display screen to be configured to display content and/or receive touch-based input based on a location of regions of the display screen. For example, the display screen can include a virtual bezel region that extends along, or proximate to, the edges of the display screen. The virtual bezel region can surround a display region that is configured to display image content. By default the virtual bezel region may be configured to display no content, or at least no active content, in order to approximate the appearance of a physical bezel. The virtual bezel can be configured to exhibit characteristics similar to that of the physical bezel. For example, the virtual bezel region can be configured to operate as a ‘dead zone’, where touch-based input is deactivated. The virtual bezel region can also be configured to display a portion of any content displayed in the display region.

Abstract: A stylus may comprise a configurable profile to control one or more local and remote operational features. One or more computing devices may be in communication with the stylus. The one or more computing devices may be configured to receive information relating to the reconfiguration of the settings of the operational profile, reconfigure the operational profile based at least in part on the received information, store the reconfigured operational profile, and associate the reconfigured operational profile with the stylus, wherein the at least one operational feature of the stylus is modified based on the reconfigured operational profile.

Abstract: When a touchscreen input device is in proximity with a first computing device, the touchscreen input device can send an identifier to the first computing device. The touchscreen input device can be used with the first computing device to define an action that can be performed on other computing devices. The first computing device can send the identifier of the touchscreen input device and an indication of the defined action to a server. When a touchscreen input device is in proximity with a second computing device, the touchscreen input device can send the identifier to the second computing device. The second computing device can send the identifier to the server. The server can send the second computing device an indication that the defined action can be performed on the second computing device.

Abstract: A stylus can be used with a computing device and send an identifier to the computing device. The computing device can send the identifier of the stylus to a server and the server can provide the user's profile information to the computing device. The user can interact with the computing device using the stylus and any changes made to the profile can be sent back to and stored by the server. When the user uses the stylus with a second computing device the updated profile information can be sent to the second computing device.
