Abstract: A system for presenting a common user interface (UI) of multiple applications on diverse client computing devices as a web page that includes a set of UI elements leading to the multiple applications. The diverse client computing devices have display screens of diverse sizes. In the system, backend servers host a UI infrastructure including the common UI and one or more object page floorplans of respective UI object pages representing the multiple applications and representing application information and data on the diverse client computing devices. Design tools are available to process the object page floorplans to display, create, or edit the UI object pages. The object page floorplans include a first object page layout including a title bar, a header, an expanded default state, a navigation control, a content area, and a footer toolbar containing actions that are performed upon a corresponding first UI object page.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for managing completion of a task. An embodiment operates by receiving a selection of a collection configured to complete the task. The embodiment determines a context indicator for analyzing an application object in the selected collection. The embodiment processes the application object in based on the context indicator to generate information for completing the task. Another embodiment operates by receiving a selection of a collection configured to complete a task. The embodiment then determines that completion of the task requires solving a situation defined by a situation definition. The embodiment then identifies an anchor application object in the selected collection based on the situation definition. The embodiment then generates related information and a set of actions for solving the situation based on the anchor application object and the situation definition.

Abstract: In one general aspect, a method and system are described for generating a user interface. The method may include obtaining a plurality of viewports, providing, for display in a display device, the user interface depicting at least one of the plurality of viewports in the display. In response to receiving a request to add one or more additional viewports, the method may include generating the one or more additional viewports, appending the one or more additional viewports to the user interface, and generating an updated user interface to include the plurality of viewports and the one or more additional viewports. The method may also include displaying the updated user interface with a selected one or more of the additional viewports being scrolled into view on the display of the display device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for interacting with a digital personal assistant having a user interface includes displaying a user interface for a digital personal assistant, receiving user input through the user interface for the digital personal assistant, the user input including a user selection of a collection data structure, containing one or more items, from a set of collection data structures, determining at least a context indicia and a user role, processing at least one item in the selected collection data structure using the context indicia and the user role and generating information for display on the user interface responsive to results of the processing.

Abstract: In one general aspect, a method and system are described that include receiving, at a server device, an indication to operate at least one application in the plurality of applications in an offline mode on the computing device, generating a plurality of requests, generating an offline datastore based on the requests, the data, and the instructions, initializing, in the offline datastore, a plurality of navigation links adapted to operate the at least one application in the offline mode, and generating a hybrid application adapted to be executed in the offline mode or an online mode, the hybrid application adapted, in the offline mode, to provide a web view to operate the at least one application, on the computing device, using the offline datastore and a plurality of offline libraries.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for generating mnemonics are described herein. In an aspect, the method includes receiving a trigger for a mnemonic. Upon receiving the trigger, a menu including options for creating the mnemonic is displayed. A selection of an option from the menu is received for creating the mnemonic. Based upon the selection of the option, one or more pop-up windows for creating the mnemonic is rendered.

Abstract: A workflow assistant can provide for improved memory aids and workflow management. The workflow assistant can retrieve context information from a base application to facilitate the creation of memory aids and workflow management items. Textual analysis can be applied to user input to determine data elements, data objects, assistant items, and collections that may be relevant to a memory or workflow aid. The workflow assistant can suggest actions for a user to take, such as based on text analysis of user input or the contents of a collection. Technical features such as a context analyzer that retrieves information from the base application for access by the workflow assistant can make the workflow assistant more dynamic and reduce the user interaction needed to create or modify a memory or workflow aid.

Abstract: A device and a method for generating a graphical user interface on a display area involve displaying main content in an initial location on the display area. Supplemental content is assigned to a virtual extension area and include a fixed set of user interface elements. Responsive to a request to switch from the main content to the supplemental content, the main content is shifted away from the virtual extension area together with shifting the supplemental content from the virtual extension area onto the display area.

Abstract: A device and a method for displaying content on a display device involve generating a graphical user interface including a toolbar in response to a request to display content. The toolbar is displayed simultaneously with the content on a display screen of the display device, with at least two sides of the toolbar are separated from edges of the display screen. The toolbar is partially transparent and brought onto display using an animation, separately from display of the content.
