  • Publication number: 20220083986
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a user-targeted report are provided. One method includes receiving an audio signal at a device, encoding a request for the report targeted to the requesting user. A set of incomplete tasks is identified, where tasks have a task-due timestamp and a reported status that indicates whether the task has been associated with a previous report. A set of upcoming tasks is identified from the incomplete tasks. A set of overdue tasks is identified from the incomplete tasks. From upcoming/overdue tasks a set of to-be-reported tasks is generated, via filtering criteria applied to the reported status of each task included in the upcoming/overdue tasks. The report includes a reminder for at least a portion of the tasks included in the set of to-be-reported tasks.

  • Patent number: 9069459
    Abstract: Embodiments isolate gesture processing for improved user interactivity with content. A first thread detects user interaction with a document via a touch sensor associated with a computing device. A latency associated with a second thread is calculated. The calculated latency is compared to a threshold latency. Based on the comparison, the first thread determines whether to transfer processing of the detected user interaction from the first thread to the second thread. The detected user interaction is processed by the first thread or by the second thread based on the determination. In some embodiments, users are provided with smooth interactivity such as panning and scrolling when browsing web content with a browser executing on a mobile computing device.
