20120149342 | Priority Inbox Notifications and Synchronization for Mobile Messaging Application - At a client device with a display and in a method for displaying messages at the client device, the client device receives message information from a server system, the message information representing a set of messages. In accordance with a determination that the set of messages include one or more unread priority messages, where priority messages are messages that satisfy predefined message importance criteria, the device presents a new mail notification. In accordance with a determination that the set of messages do not include any unread priority messages, the device foregoes presenting a new mail notification. | 06-14-2012 |
20120278754 | Elastic Over-Scroll - Embodiments provide exemplary methods and systems for implementing an elastic over-scroll. An exemplary method includes displaying, on a display device, a list of items including a first item located at a first position and a second item located at a second position. The exemplary method also includes identifying an end of the list at the first position, and detecting an object associated with a movement in a first direction toward the first item. The method further includes increasing a distance between the first item and the second item while maintaining the display of the first item at the first position, based on the detecting. | 11-01-2012 |
20120278755 | ELASTIC OVER-SCROLL - Embodiments provide exemplary methods and systems for implementing an elastic over-scroll.

The exemplary method also includes identifying an end of the list at the first position, and detecting an object associated with a movement in a first direction toward the first item. The method further includes increasing a distance between the first item and the second item while maintaining the display of the first item at the first position, based on the detecting. | 11-01-2012 |
20130041968 | PRIORITY INBOX NOTIFICATIONS AND SYNCHRONIZATION FOR MESSAGING APPLICATION - Systems and methods for priority inbox notifications and synchronization are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes, at a computer system, obtaining message information from a server system. The message information represents a set of messages and an importance score associated with each message in the set of messages. The importance score is generated based at least in part on a global importance prediction model and a user importance prediction model. A new mail notification is presented when a determination is made that the set of messages include one or more unread priority messages. The priority messages comprise messages with which the associated importance score satisfy one or more predefined message importance criteria: Optionally, presentation of a new mail notification is foregone when there is a determination that the set of messages do not include any unread priority messages. | 02-14-2013 |
20130097416 | DYNAMIC PROFILE SWITCHING - Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for dynamic switching of user profiles on computing devices. In one method, the computing device identifies a first user profile under which the computing device is operating. The first user profile is associated with a first user value indicative of a first user. The computing device receives an image from an image-sensing device, generates a current user value indicative of a current user based on the received image, and determines if the current user value corresponds to the first user value. If the current user value does not correspond to the first user value, the computing device configures at least some programs operating on the computing device using a second user profile that is selected based on the current user value. If the current user value does correspond to the first user value, the computing device continues to operate using the first user profile. | 04-18-2013 |
20130262574 | Inline User Addressing in Chat Sessions - A computer-implemented method is executed on a server having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs to be executed by the one or more processors. The method includes receiving chat content from participants in a chat session. The method also includes detecting, within the chat content, an embedded request to invite a specified user to join the chat session. The method further includes sending an invitation to the specified user in response to detecting the embedded request. | 10-03-2013 |
20140111330 | TRIGGERING ATTRACT MODE FOR DEVICES USING VIEWABILITY CONDITIONS AND DETECTED PROXIMITY OF HUMAN TO DEVICE - A data processing device may be operable to determine whether the data processing device is in a state of charging a battery. When the data processing device is determined to be in the state of charging the battery, a charging condition of the battery may be analyzed by the data processing device. The data processing device may analyze a viewability condition at a display module. The data processing device may analyze an environmental condition associated with proximity of a human to the data processing device. The data processing device may then choose, based on a result of the analysis of the charging condition, a result of the analysis of the viewability condition and/or a result of the analysis of the environmental condition, display of content in a manner to attract attention to the data processing device. | 04-24-2014 |
20140244854 | Content Streaming Between Devices - Methods and systems for streaming content from a first device to a second device may include streaming content from the first device to the second device over a first connection. Next, it may be determined that the first device is connected to the second device by a second connection. As a result, content may be streamed from the first device to the second device over the second connection. Further, upon determination that the first device is connected to the second device by the second connection, the first connection between the first device and the second device may be disconnected. Further, streaming of the content is uninterrupted upon switching from the first connection to the second connection. Additionally, a mobile device for streaming content to a second device is also provided. | 08-28-2014 |
20140313167 | MOVING CONTENT BETWEEN DEVICES USING GESTURES - A method may include, in a computing device with a touch screen, memory and at least one processor, detecting at least one gesture event associated with the computing device, while consuming multimedia data. Upon detecting the at least one gesture event, at least one multimedia device located in a direction of the at least one gesture event and communicatively coupled to the computing device in a wireless network may be detected. At least a portion of the multimedia data may be communicated using the wireless network, to the at least one multimedia device, for consumption at the at least one multimedia device. Detecting the at least one gesture event may include detecting a finger swipe gesture from an edge of the touch screen and in an inward direction towards the touch screen. | 10-23-2014 |
