20110239149 | TIMELINE CONTROL - Timeline control techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a timeline is displayed that is divided into a plurality of intervals, each of which corresponds to a respective period of time. Responsive to selection of one of the plurality of intervals, a control is displayed within the selected interval that is scrollable within an area defined by the selected interval to move between content that is associated at corresponding points in time at a scrolling speed that is based at least in part on an amount of the content that is associated with the interval. | 09-29-2011 |
20130122875 | LOCATION-BASED AND GROUP-BASED OPERATIONS ON A DATA PROCESSING DEVICE - A system and method are described for location-based and group-based operations on a data processing device. For example, a computer-implemented method according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: establishing a group containing identities of a plurality of users within the group and notification data indicating when other users are to be notified about current locations of the users in the group; determining whether wireless data processing devices of two or more users of the group are at the same location or within a particular distance of the location; identifying the users and the location; and notifying other users in the group of the identity of the users and the location. | 05-16-2013 |
20140095964 | MESSAGE LINKS - A system is described that includes a web link evaluation process for identifying a web link included in a message and selecting content from a website associated with the web link. The selected content may be presented to a user in a format that permits the user to consider whether the link may be safely clicked on. | 04-03-2014 |
20140096032 | CENTRALIZED MEDIA HANDLING - A system is described that includes a media management application for automatically scanning messages in a message inbox and new messages that are sent from or received by the message inbox to identify content, such as pictures, songs, etc., for tagging each message based on content attributes, and for storing the messages and content in a “shoebox” relative to the content attributes. | 04-03-2014 |
20140181934 | SUPPORTING MULTIPLE MESSAGING SERVICES ON MOBILE DEVICES IN A SINGLE USER EXPERIENCE - A system is described that contains a device including a memory with a management application installed thereon. The management application contains a manager that generates a plurality of user accounts and associates at least one communication service as a messaging account with each user account, and an interface module that generates a user interface that presents the plurality of user accounts and that modifies the user interface based on the identification of the selected user account to present a selected account display. | 06-26-2014 |
20140280582 | RELATIONSHIP TRACKING AND MAINTENANCE - Disclosed are for aggregating communication data. Data pertaining to a plurality of users is received. A probability that a particular user of the plurality of users will likely have a future encounter with a first other user of the plurality of users based on the received data is determined. An identity of the first other user is provided. Communication content exchanged between the first other user and the particular user is also provided. | 09-18-2014 |
20140298347 | COMPUTING SYSTEM WITH RESOURCE MANAGEMENT MECHANISM AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF - A computing system includes: an activity-schedule module configured to identify a future activity estimation for representing an activity occurring after a current time; a usage module, coupled to the activity-schedule module, configured to generate a consumption model associated with the future activity estimation for describing a resource; a model generator module, coupled to the usage module, configured to determine a cost model for evaluating an access location; and a selection module, coupled to the model generator module, configured to determine an optimal access selection based on the cost model and the consumption model for displaying on a device. | 10-02-2014 |
20150094093 | COMPUTING SYSTEM WITH CONFIGURATION UPDATE MECHANISM AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF - A computing system includes: a context module configured to determine a contextual information for representing the contextual information relative to a device; a zone module, coupled to the context module, configured to determine a proximity zone for identifying further devices within the proximity zone relative to the device; a proximate-device module, coupled to the zone module, configured to determine proximate-device identities for identifying the further devices relative to the device; and a configuration transfer module, coupled to the proximate-device module, configured to communicate a transferable configuration setting with a communication unit using the proximate-device identities for updating the device based on the transferable configuration setting and the contextual information for displaying on the device. | 04-02-2015 |
20150095725 | COMPUTING SYSTEM WITH INFORMATION MANAGEMENT MECHANISM AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF - A computing system includes: a control unit configured to: determine a precision level of an entry made to an application, determine an incomplete item based on the precision level failing to meet a precision threshold, and a user interface, coupled to the control unit, configured to display the incomplete item. | 04-02-2015 |
