Abstract: The present invention provides a search capability to allow a user to easily locate a menu command or other user interface element associated with a search result. In one embodiment, a user enters a search term (or a portion thereof) in a search field. A list of results is displayed, for example in a results menu. The user can select or highlight any of the listed results; in response, the corresponding command is brought into view in context within the user interface, and is highlighted. The user can activate the selected command directly from the search results menu.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that allow automated qualification of a binary application program. A binary application program submitted from a developer can be automatically examined to determine whether the binary application program complies with rules or guidelines of a platform. If the binary application program complies with the rules or guidelines, the binary application program can be qualified, and can be distributed upon further approval. If the binary application program does not comply with the rules or guidelines, the application program can be rejected and a notification can be sent to the developer.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods and systems for creating mosaics are described. A method is provided that includes identifying an image for presentation as a mosaic; dividing the identified image into a plurality of tiles; scoring each tile; identifying a matching image from an image dataset using the score for each tile; and rendering the mosaic using the matching images.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that allow automated testing of an application program that is configured to receive a touch input. A testing mechanism can be configured to identify the touch input that is designed to produce a specified result. The testing mechanism can generate one or more signals simulating the touch input. The testing mechanism can then check the state of the user interface of the application program being tested and determine whether the actual result conforms to the specified result.
