  • INTENT-BASED USER EXPERIENCE
    Publication number: 20150169285
    Abstract: Techniques that facilitate the accomplishment of tasks within applications are presented. An intent-based user experience is available through receiving a natural language statement of intent from a user regarding use of an application, such as a productivity application. The graphical user interface for the user can be configured and reconfigured based on the user's intent; thus creating a task-oriented user interface. The user's intent can be determined through classifying and/or mapping the natural language statement of intent to particular tasks, which can then be associated with one or more tools and information that can be used to accomplish the tasks. The one or more tools and information can be surfaced to the user in the graphical user interface.

  • Merging modifications to user interface components while preserving user customizations
    Patent number: 8302014
    Abstract: An application displays a user interface (UI) component. A client can apply customizations to this UI component. After the client applies customizations to the UI component, the client modifies a solution set containing solutions that modify the UI component. After the client modifies the solution set, the application displays a new version of the UI component. Modifications provided by the solutions in the solution set are applied to the new version of the UI component. In addition, the customizations remain applied to the UI component without the client manually re-applying the customizations to the UI component.
