Abstract: A process automatically generates configuration information used to build a target computing environment based on an image that depicts an architecture of the target computing environment. First, the process generates an original graph data structure having nodes and edges that respectively represent services and connectors detected in the image. The system then determines attributes of the target computing environment based on the original graph data structure. At least in part, the attributes describe a context in which the target computing environment is used, such as the type of industry associated with the target computing environment. The process then modifies the original graph data structure based on the attributes that have been determined, to produce a modified graph data structure. Finally, the process provides the configuration information to a deployment system, which uses the configuration information to deploy the target computing environment on a computing platform.

Abstract: There is provided an electronic device operable with a computer. The computer can be configured to run/execute a program which can be associated with graphic based data and audio based data. The computer can include a main display screen which can be configured to display information based on graphic based data. The electronic device can include a display module which can be configured to display auxiliary information. Auxiliary information displayed by the display module, but not the main display, is derivable based on audio based data.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus configured to control a plurality of light emitting elements so that the light emitting elements display a lighting behavior based on audio output which is based on an audio file. The apparatus can include a control portion and a choreography portion. The control portion is operable to generate an instruction sequence which can be used to control the lighting behavior of the light emitting elements, the instruction sequence can include a plurality of lighting instructions. The choreography portion is operable to associate at least one lighting instruction from the plurality of lighting instructions with at least one portion of the audio file.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus configured to control a plurality of light emitting elements so that the light emitting elements display a lighting behavior. The apparatus includes a control portion operable to generate an instruction sequence. The instruction sequence controls the lighting behavior of the light emitting elements. The instruction sequence can include a plurality of lighting instructions. The control portion can include a first input portion and an option portion. The first input portion generates a first lighting instruction of the plurality of lighting instructions and the option portion can be operated by, for example, a user to present a second input portion for generating a second lighting instruction of the plurality of lighting instructions. The lighting behavior displayed by the light emitting elements can have a lighting sequence which is based on the instruction sequence where the first lighting instruction is followed by the second lighting instruction.

Abstract: There is provided a setup configuration method which includes a setup step where a platform is provided for setup configuration of at least one peripheral device coupled to a computer, a processing step where output signals are generated based on the setup configuration using the platform and a sharing step where the generated output signals are communicated for setup configuration of corresponding at least one peripheral device coupled to an electronic device. Setup configuration of the corresponding at least one peripheral device can be based on received output signals via at least one of manual setup and automatic setup.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus configured to control a plurality of light emitting elements so that the light emitting elements display a lighting behavior. The apparatus includes a control portion operable to generate an instruction sequence. The instruction sequence controls the lighting behavior of the light emitting elements. The instruction sequence can include a plurality of lighting instructions. The control portion can include a first input portion and an option portion. The first input portion generates a first lighting instruction of the plurality of lighting instructions and the option portion can be operated by, for example, a user to present a second input portion for generating a second lighting instruction of the plurality of lighting instructions. The lighting behavior displayed by the light emitting elements can have a lighting sequence which is based on the instruction sequence where the first lighting instruction is followed by the second lighting instruction.

Abstract: Menu gesture techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a menu is displayed on a display device of a computing device. The menu has a plurality of selectable items along with a visual indication that is configured to follow a touch input across the display device and indicate that each of the plurality of selectable items is selectable via a drag gesture. One or more inputs are recognized by the computing device as movement of the touch input across the display device to identify the drag gesture to select at least one of the plurality of selectable items in the menu.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein that relate to determining an intent of a user to initiate an action on an interactive display system. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a method of initiating an action on an interactive display device, the interactive display device including a touch-sensitive display. In this example, the method comprises displaying an initiation control at a launch region of the display, receiving an initiation input via the initiation control, displaying a confirmation target in a confirmation region of the display in response to receiving the initiation input, receiving a confirmation input via the confirmation target, and performing an action responsive to the confirmation input.
