20080201646 | Tab Order Mapping of User Interfaces - An approach is provided to display a common display page on a variety of display devices using the item's tab order property to determine the display order. Controls that are displayed on a display device typically have a tab order. When a window that has controls is displayed, the cursor is typically placed at the control with the lowest (i.e., first) tab order. When the user presses the tab key, the cursor moves to the control corresponding to the next lowest tab order. This allows the designer to design a single window (or panel) that is displayed differently on constrained devices. However, even though the window is displayed differently, using tab order mapping maintains a consistent visible proximity between controls despite the type of display device being used by the user. | 08-21-2008 |

20160094676 | HEURISTIC CACHING TO PERSONALIZE APPLICATIONS - Heuristic caching techniques are used to improve application usability within the constraints of computing resources. A user's behavior in connection with an application is recorded and used to intelligently determine which transitions of a user interface of the application to cache. In addition, the user may have one or more characteristics. Such characteristics may also be used to identify other users so that the other users' behavior in connection with the application can be used for intelligently determining which transitions of the user interface to cache. | 03-31-2016 |
20160098182 | METHOD FOR MODIFYING A TOOLBAR - Disclosed herein is a method of updating toolbar data on an Internet device with toolbar update data received from the Internet. Data comprising a reference to a network location is received and assessed, then the network location is accessed. The toolbar update data is received in response to access of the network location and includes a content type identifier. The toolbar update data is provided in response to the content type identifier being associated with the toolbar. Update of the toolbar data with the toolbar update data is initiated. The updating includes writing at least one new attribute to the toolbar data, with the writing including at least one of changing the one or more buttons of the toolbar by adding a button, and updating at least one attribute of the toolbar data. The toolbar as defined by the updated toolbar data is then displayed. | 04-07-2016 |
20160139754 | USING SECTIONS FOR CUSTOMIZATION OF APPLICATIONS ACROSS PLATFORMS - A client-based application includes sections that are used to define user interface displays for the system. The sections are customizable by a backend system so customizations are accommodated by modified versions of the mobile application. | 05-19-2016 |
20160147846 | CLIENT SIDE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEARCH BACKED CALENDAR USER INTERFACE - A method is provided to produce a custom calendar user interface (UI) display on an electronic device display screen comprising: providing a search query to a user device; sending the search query over the network to a server system; receiving over the network by one or more user devices from a server system, information that identifies one or more code objects that match the search query; using the identified one or more identified code objects by the one or more user devices to generate one or more visual content items within a calendar user interface (UI) grid display on their device display screens. | 05-26-2016 |

20160162276 | System and Methods for Touch Pattern Detection and User Interface Adaptation - A communication system includes client devices that detect erroneous interactions with touch screen Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) of software apps and transmit information about the erroneous interactions to servers which aggregate the information to identify erroneous interactions that occur at a significant rate across a population of devices. The software apps are updated to reduce the likelihood of the identified erroneous interactions and the updated versions of the apps are deployed to the client devices. | 06-09-2016 |

20160188194 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OVERLAYING A DIGITAL MINI GUIDE ONTO A VIDEO STREAM - Systems and methods are described for superimposing a program guide browser onto a video stream. The method includes receiving a request from the client while media content is displayed at the host; in response to the request, transmitting a user interface (UI) to the client; and displaying the UI at the client without interrupting the displayed media content; wherein the UI comprises a horizontally scrollable ribbon. Additional or alternate features may be provided as desired. | 06-30-2016 |
20160188549 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING LOADING PRIORITY OR SEQUENCING OF FRAGMENTS OF A WEB OBJECT - This disclosure is directed to methods and systems for managing rendering of a web page in a browser. A client operated by a user may execute code within a first fragment of a web page as the first fragment is presented to the user. The code may be injected into the first fragment by an intermediary between the client and a server of the web page. The intermediary may have split the web page into the first fragment and a plurality of fragments, and may have modified a default rendering characteristic for each of the plurality of fragments. Each of the modified rendering characteristic may include a trigger and action for rendering of a corresponding fragment. The executing code may dynamically detect a trigger for rendering of a second fragment from the plurality of fragments. The executing code may initiate a corresponding action for rendering of the second fragment. | 06-30-2016 |

20160378304 | AUTOMATED TESTING OF GUI MIRRORING - Testing correct mirroring of a GUI. Two GUI specifications are received, a reference GUI specification and a mirrored GUI specification that corresponds to a horizontally mirrored version of the reference GUI specification. For each child element in the reference GUI specification, a start position, width, and width of the parent GUI element are determined from the reference GUI specification; for the corresponding mirrored GUI element, a mirrored start position and a mirrored width are determined from the mirrored GUI specification; and for the mirrored GUI element, a calculated mirrored start position, based on the start position, width, and width of the child GUI element's parent GUI element are determined. If the mirrored start position or the mirrored width is not within a predefined tolerance of the calculated mirrored start position or the width, respectively, the mirrored GUI specification is updated with the calculated mirrored start position or the width, respectively. | 12-29-2016 |
