| 20090063099 | ACTIVITY CLASSIFICATION FROM ROUTE AND SENSOR-BASED METADATA - Systems and methods that infer and classify user activity based in part on routing data. A storage medium can store raw data collected, and such acquired data can be subsequently be analyzed or distilled to generate abstract qualities about the raw data (e.g., velocity of user during route, level of difficulty, and the like). Various machine learning techniques, artificial intelligence methodologies, decision trees, and/or statistical methods can be employed to supply inference regarding the acquired raw data and/or the abstract qualities. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20110283204 | Pasting Various Data into a Programming Environment - Described is a technology by which a user pastes selected data into a command line of a program, including when the selected data is non-textual. Upon detecting the paste (or drop) action, a variable name is automatically generated and inserted at the current point in a command line, where it acts as a proxy for the pasted data itself. A data structure comprising the selected data or transformed data corresponding to that selected data is maintained in program storage, e.g., RAM allocated to the program. In one aspect, a handler may be used to transform the data from one format into another that may be used by a particular program. For example, text may be reformatted into an array on which the program operates. The handler may be selected from a plurality of possible handlers, including customized handlers. | 11-17-2011 |

| 20090093182 | STRUCTURE BUILDING TOY - A toy structure building apparatus includes a plurality of connector members attached to a plurality of structural members. Each connector member has a pin portion and a retention element located on an external surface of the pin portion. The apparatus further includes a plurality of connectors, each connector having an aperture for receiving the pin portion of a connector member and a detent member disposed within the aperture. The detent member is adapted to lockingly engage the retention element and includes a flexible elongated locking element extending in a direction substantially parallel to the central axis of the pin portion when the detent member is lockingly engaged to the retention element. The pin portion is selectively insertable into the aperture to couple and uncouple the structural members to each other to build a toy structure. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090132763 | Memory Cards Having Two Standard Sets Of Contacts And A Hinged Contact Covering Mechanism - Enclosed re-programmable non-volatile memory cards include at least two sets of electrical contacts to which the internal memory is connected. The two sets of contacts have different patterns, preferably in accordance with two different contact standards such as a memory card standard and that of the Universal Serial Bus (USB). One memory card standard that can be followed is that of the Secure Digital (SD) card. The cards can thus be used with different hosts that are compatible with one set of contacts but not the other. A cover that is hinged to the card to normally cover one set of contacts can be manually rotated out of the way when that set of contacts is being used. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20100013777 | TRACKING INPUT IN A SCREEN-REFLECTIVE INTERFACE ENVIRONMENT - In an example embodiment, a method is adapted to tracking input with a device. The method includes an act of monitoring and acts of activating and displaying if a touch input is detected. The device has a first side and a second side, with the second side opposite the first side. The device has a display screen disposed on the first side, and a screen-reflective interface disposed on the second side. Respective positions on the screen-reflective interface correspond to respective locations of the display screen. The screen-reflective interface of the device is monitored. If a touch input is detected on the screen-reflective interface, the device performs acts of activating and displaying. Specifically, a tracking state is activated for the screen-reflective interface responsive to the detected touch input on the screen-reflective interface. The interface icon is displayed on the display screen to indicate that the tracking state has been activated. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20110267182 | ACTIVE VIBRATIONS - Active vibration techniques are described. In implementations, a selection of a type of writing surface or a type of writing implement is received, the selection made through interaction with a user interface. The selected type of writing surface or type of writing implement is simulated using vibrations of a stylus or surface of a computing device that is configured to receive one or more inputs from the stylus. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110267478 | IMAGE CAPTURE - Image capture techniques are described. In implementations, an image is captured, by an image capture device of a computing device, of an object that is disposed on a surface of a first display device of the computing device. The computing device includes a first housing that includes the first display device and a second housing that is rotatable attached to the first housing and that includes a second display device.

| 20080270356 | SEARCH DIAGNOSTICS BASED UPON QUERY SETS - The subject disclosure pertains to systems and methods that facilitate monitoring of data collections and related data retrieval systems as well as generating recommendations for enhancing performance and utility of such systems. In aspects, the systems and methods described herein evaluate data retrieval performance by identifying unsuccessful search queries and mapping such queries to appropriate content in a data collection. To facilitate such evaluation, similar queries can be grouped and treated as equivalent. Similarity of queries can be determined based upon search terms. For example, queries whose search terms only vary syntactically can be combined in a group. Such groups can include search information related to multiple users, increasing reliability of recommendations based upon such groups. In further aspects, recommendations for adding content can be generated in conjunction with any mapping recommendations. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20100229110 | Task Sensitive Methods and Systems for Displaying Command Sets - Methods and systems present commands to a user within a software application program by determining the user's context within the application program and automatically presenting in a user interface commands that pertain to the user's current context. When the user's context changes, the context-sensitive commands are automatically removed from the user interface. In one implementation context blocks and context panes are employed to present the commands. | 09-09-2010 |
