  • Patent number: 10551990
    Abstract: Various embodiments utilize context positioning of an input mechanism to convey at least one action associated with the input mechanism. At times, the input mechanism is associated with multiple actions. Input received via at the input mechanism can be analyzed to determine which action of the multiple actions to perform. In some embodiments, the input mechanism can be physically and/or visually moved to a different location based upon the determined action.

  • Patent number: 10404816
    Abstract: Determining browsing activities is described. In one or more implementations, browsing history data, indicating navigation to websites using a web platform, is analyzed to determine a browsing activity, such as shopping, planning a trip, and so forth. The websites navigated to using the web platform as part of the browsing activity are then stored with the browsing activity to enable subsequent access to the websites. In one or more implementations, for each browsing activity, one or more suggested websites which are related to the browsing activity are determined and stored with the browsing activity to enable access to the suggested websites.

  • Patent number: 10338783
    Abstract: Multiple tabs are displayed in a tab row, with each tab corresponding to a respective display of content. In response to receiving a single action user input, two or more of the multiple tabs are grouped together into a tab group that is displayed in the tab row instead of the two or more tabs. These two or more tabs may be grouped together according to a wide range of options that may be designated by a user. Tab groups enable simultaneous interaction with individual tabs of the tab group, such as sharing, saving, and viewing content associated with the individual tabs. Ungrouped tabs and tab groups displayed in the tab row can further be sorted for display according to one or more user preferences to enhance the overall experience in interacting with different displays of content.

  • Publication number: 20160182603
    Abstract: Browser display casting techniques are described. In one or more implementations, content is displayed within a browser on a display device of a mobile communications device, the mobile communications device having a form factor configured to be held by one or more hands of a user. An input is received to cast the display of the browser to another display device that is communicatively coupled to the mobile communications device, the other display device having an available display area that is greater than an available area of the display device of the mobile communications device.
