Abstract: State-specific mouse-over guidance can be provided to a user of a user interface such that a field in the user interface can include more than one mouse-over guidance content item, and a specific mouse-over guidance content item provided to the user is determined based on a current state of the field and at least one underlying factors identified as resulting in the current state.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide a method, machine readable storage medium, and system for context based user request for functionality. In one embodiment, software instructions may be executed by a computer processor to: provide a UI element for a software application to receive user request for functionality, initiate a context based functionality request responding to a user action on the UI element, provide UI input element(s) to receive user input for the context based functionality request, capture contextual information from the software application based on initiation of the context based functionality request, and receive submission of the context based functionality request and the captured contextual information.

Abstract: This specification describes apparatus, computer-implemented methods, and systems for interacting with computing systems using finger-specific input. In one general embodiment, a finger-specific input device can identify and differentiate each finger of a user. For example, the finger-specific input device may be able to detect features of each individual finger, such as fingerprints or detectable finger attachments, and to determine a set of fingers using the input device by camera or other visual cue, among others. A user can use multiple fingers to interact with a computing system and generate commands based on the use of a particular finger, a particular combination of fingers, and particular gestures of specific finger or combination of finger movements. In some implementations, specific commands are assigned to corresponding fingers and/or finger-specific multi-touch gestures in a program environment.
