Abstract: Systems and methods are described that include receiving, in a tab strip generated by a web browser application, a request to generate a tab group, generating the tab group, in response to receiving the request, where the generating includes generating a tab group identifier for the tab group, enabling pausing or starting of an activity associated with a resource accessed by a browser tab within the tab group based on whether the tab group is collapsed or expanded, and storing metadata about the tab group and the browser tab included in the tab group. The systems and methods may further include causing display of the generated tab group in the tab strip with the tab group identifier depicted in at least a portion of a user interface associated with the browser tab where the generated tab group is configured for display based on the metadata.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a mobile phone and a method for answering such a phone automatically without user input. In one embodiment, the mobile phone detects that a call is being received. A proximity sensor is then used to detect the presence of a nearby object. For example, this allows a determination to be made whether the mobile phone is within a pocket of the user while the phone is ringing. Then a determination is made whether the proximity sensor changes states. For example, if a user removes the phone from their pocket, the proximity sensor switches from detecting something proximal to detecting that the phone is no longer in the user's pocket. Next, a determination is made whether the proximity sensor is again next to an object, such as an ear. If so, the mobile phone can be automatically answered without further user input.

Abstract: A computing device (e.g., a smart phone, a tablet computer, digital camera, or other device with image capture functionality) causes an image capture device to capture one or more digital images based on audio input (e.g., a voice command) received by the computing device. For example, a user's voice (e.g., a word or phrase) is converted to audio input data by the computing device, which then compares (e.g., using an audio matching algorithm) the audio input data to an expected voice command associated with an image capture application. In another aspect, a computing device activates an image capture application and captures one or more digital images based on a received voice command. In another aspect, a computing device transitions from a low-power state to an active state, activates an image capture application, and causes a camera device to capture digital images based on a received voice command.

Abstract: Techniques and tools are described for controlling an audio signal of a mobile device. For example, information indicative of acceleration of the mobile device can be received and correlation between the information indicative of acceleration and exemplar whack event data can be determined. An audio signal of the mobile device can be controlled based on the correlation.

Abstract: A tab-based collapsible user interface includes selectable user interface tabs, a ribbon area, and an editing surface. When a browse tab is selected, the ribbon area displays information and does not include any user interface controls for performing commands. When the browse tab is selected, a vertical scroll bar is displayed adjacent to the ribbon area and the editing surface. When the vertical scroll bar is used, the ribbon area and the editing surface are both scrolled. When a page tab or a contextual tab is selected, the ribbon area displays user interface controls for performing commands. When a page tab or a contextual tab is selected, a vertical scroll bar is displayed adjacent to the editing surface but not adjacent to the ribbon area. When the vertical scroll bar is used, the contents of the editing surface are scrolled but the ribbon area is not scrolled.

Abstract: Social network notifications are described. In implementations, a notification is received at a client device from a social network service that includes content that is posted for access via the social network service and includes an identifier of an originator of the posting. The notification is output by the client device to include the content from the posting and the identifier of the originator of the posting.

Abstract: A navigational information display panel is provided for presenting information associated with a location and relationship of a particular web page in context of hierarchical nodes above the web page. The panel may be displayed at a fixed or movable location upon activation of a navigational information control on a browsing application user interface. The panel may include various display structures representing the web page's contextual location in an effective manner along with navigational links for quick navigation to nodes above the web page (and/or at the same level).

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing a pan and zoom control in conjunction with a timeline for navigating project schedule data in a project management application. The project management application displays a pan and zoom control in conjunction with a project schedule timeline, with the pan and zoom control at a position and of a size relative to the timeline that reflects the temporal scope of project schedule data currently displayed. The pan and zoom control is configured to allow a user to move and resize the control along the timeline. Upon detecting movement or resizing of the pan and zoom control, the project management application will change the scope of the project schedule data displayed to match the time period represented by the new position and/or new size of the pan and zoom control in relation to the timeline.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for showing and correcting irregularities in a schedule. A project management application allows a user to manually define tasks within a schedule. The application evaluates the manually defined tasks to determine if the tasks cause an irregularity within the schedule. If so, the application provides one or more visual indications of the irregularity to the user. The application also provides functionality for allowing a user to resolve or ignore the irregularity.
