Abstract: A set of electronic slide decks is searched using a target slide of a first electronic slide deck, each of the electronic slide decks containing a sequence of slides to be presented individually. A computer system receives from a user input individually selecting the target slide as a search input from the slides of the first electronic slide deck, compares the target slide with the slides of each electronic slide deck in the set to determine whether any of those slides matches the target slide, so as to determine, for each of the set of electronic slide decks, whether that electronic slide deck contains at least one slide that matches the target slide; and displays a set of search results in response to the user input, wherein each of the search results represents one of the electronic slide decks determined to contain at least one matching slide.

Abstract: A document management system and process for facilitating the state of various portions of electronic content in which users can select specific workflow stages to assign to selected content elements in the electronic content that can indicate the workflow condition of the specified content. This provides individual and group users the ability for precise, timely, and effective management of document workflow that facilitates more natural and smoother document development.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to computer-implemented management of first and second electronic documents, each of containing a sequence of content components. A user interface displays a first sequence of display elements to represent the first electronic document, and a second sequence of display elements to represent the second electronic document. Each of the display elements in each of the displayed sequences represents an individual content component or group of content components of the electronic document represented by that sequence. The first and second sequences are displayed alongside each other, with their respective display elements in an initial alignment, to allow a side-by-side comparison of the electronic documents. The user can automatically realign the sequences to a selected content component.

Abstract: A computer system edits a first electronic slide deck by reusing content from a second electronic slide deck, the electronic slide decks containing first and second sequences of slides respectively. The computer system identifies at least a second of the slides of the second electronic slide deck as a candidate for insertion in the first electronic slide deck by identifying the second slide as having a target positional relationship with a first slide of the first electronic slide deck. In response to the user accepting a suggestion to insert the second slide into the first slide deck, a version of the second slide is inserted into the first slide deck at a position in the first sequence that is determined automatically by the computer system.

Abstract: This disclose relates to computer-implemented management of an electronic slide deck, the electronic slide deck containing a set of slides to be presented individually. The computer system processes the slides of the electronic slide deck to autonomously group the slides into a plurality of groups, the autonomous grouping being performed by identifying the slides in each of the groups as having related content, generates in association with the electronic slide deck, grouping data in electronic storage accessible to the computer system, the grouping data denoting the identified groups of slides, and controls a user interface based on the stored grouping data to convey, to a user, information relating to at least one of the identified groups of slides.

Abstract: In various examples there is an electronic device having a content item state retrieval system. There is a chat interface executing at the electronic device and a processor which monitors states of at least one content item associated with the electronic device in relation to chat messages at the chat interface. A logging component logs associations between at least some of the content item states and the chat messages based on the times at which the chat messages were created; and a user interface has selectable elements representing the chat messages. When an element is selected by a user it triggers retrieval of an associated state of a content item based on the logged associations.

Abstract: Data points that include geolocation data are obtained. Frequency values are determined that depict frequencies of sets of the data points that are associated with respective geolocations represented by the geolocation data, and the frequency values are normalized. A georepresentation of the data points is generated, as a tangible 3-D model, using the geolocation data to determine location perspective of the data points on the 3-D model for a mapping of the data points to the 3-D model, and using the normalized frequency values to determine sensory attributes of portions of the 3-D model at locations of the respective mapped data points on the 3-D model, the sensory attributes representing frequency value ranges.

Abstract: Animation creation is described, for example, to enable children to create, record and play back stories. In an embodiment, one or more children are able to create animation components such as characters and backgrounds using a multi-touch panel display together with an image capture device. For example, a graphical user interface is provided at the multi-touch panel display to enable the animation components to be edited. In an example, children narrate a story while manipulating animation components using the multi-touch display panel and the sound and visual display is recorded. In embodiments image analysis is carried out automatically and used to autonomously modify story components during a narration. In examples, various types of handheld view-finding frames are provided for use with the image capture device. In embodiments saved stories can be restored from memory and retold from any point with different manipulations and narration.
