| 20100079670 | MULTI-VIEW CONTENT CASTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - In an exemplary method, a plurality of video feeds carrying data representative of a plurality of event views is transformed into at least one video signal. The at least one video signal is distributed over at least one television carrier channel associated with a television programming channel and is received and processed by a receiver, including selectively providing one of the event views for display. In certain embodiments, user input is received with the receiver and different ones of the events views are toggled between for display in association with the television programming channel and in response to the user input. In certain embodiments, the event views include a plurality of player views associated with a multiplayer video game session. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100083190 | TOUCH GESTURE INTERFACE APPARATUSES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS - In certain embodiments, an object touch is detected on a touch screen display, a touch gesture interface is displayed on the touch screen display in response to the object touch, a touch gesture is detected on the touch screen display, and an action is performed based on the touch gesture. In certain embodiments, the touch gesture includes a directional touch gesture in a direction away from a position of the object touch on a surface of the touch screen display. In certain embodiments, the touch gesture interface includes a plurality of selectable options, and the action includes one of navigating through the selectable options and selecting one of the selectable options. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100107099 | PROXIMITY INTERFACE APPARATUSES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS - In certain exemplary embodiments, data representative of a proximity heuristic specifying a plurality of levels of an object detection zone associated with a display screen is maintained, an object is detected within the object detection zone, one of the levels is selected based on at least one attribute of the object, and an action associated with the selected level is performed. In certain examples, the action includes modifying a graphical user interface view displayed on the display screen. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100110101 | USER INTERFACE COLOR SCHEME CUSTOMIZATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - In certain exemplary embodiments, data representative of a color scheme including a plurality of colors is maintained, a parameter for each of the colors is shifted by a same offset to generate another color scheme, and the other color scheme is associated with a graphical user interface. In certain embodiments, the shifting preserves at least one of a hue relationship and a contrast relationship between the colors in the color scheme. In certain embodiments, at least one user interface tool configured to facilitate a user selection of one of the colors included in the color scheme and a change to be applied to the color, and the same offset is determined based on the user selection. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100153106 | CONVERSATION MAPPING - A method may include receiving communications associated with a communication session. The communication session may correspond to a telephone conversation, text-based conversation or a multimedia conversation. The method may also include identifying portions of the communication session and storing the identified portions. The method may further include receiving a request to retrieve information associated with the communication session and providing to a display, information associated with the identified portions. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100153855 | Communication Management - A method may include receiving a communication thread and identifying at least some items of interest in the communication thread. The method may also include displaying the communication thread with the identified items of interest being highlighted or displayed in a different manner than other portions of the communication thread. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100246784 | CONVERSATION SUPPORT - A method may include receiving, at a first device associated with a first party, communications from a second device. The communications may be associated with a communication session that includes an audio conversation, a text-based conversation or a multimedia conversation. The method may also include identifying a word or phrase from the communication session and retrieving, from a memory included in the first device, information associated with the word or phrase. The method may further include outputting, to a display associated with the first device, the retrieved information. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100274865 | TRAVEL TIME DEPENDENT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM - A computer-readable medium may include computer-executable instructions. The computer-executable instructions may include instructions for identifying an event that is scheduled to be attended by a user, determining a current location of a device associated with the user, determining an estimated amount of time that the user needs to travel from the current location to the event, and sending an alert to notify the user, the alert indicating the amount of time that is available to the user to travel to the event. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20110113119 | LOCATION BASED CONTENT AGGREGATION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Location based content aggregation and distribution systems and methods are disclosed. An exemplary method includes a content hub subsystem receiving a content posting from an access device connected to a network. The content posting includes data representative of a content instance created by a user associated with the access device and a geographic location associated with the content instance. The exemplary method further includes the content hub subsystem storing the content posting and selectively distributing the content instance to at least one other access device connected to the network based on the geographic location, wherein a past or present physical location of the at least one other access device within a predefined proximity of the geographic location is requisite to the distribution of the content instance to the at least one other access device. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed. | 05-12-2011 |
