New content may be captured in a way that allows the user to preview the content in-context. | 06-13-2013 |
20130151987 | Tactile Interface for Social Networking System - A user interface includes a tactile interface on a client device that allows users to interact with social networking system content in a manner that is optimized for touch screens and mobile devices. The tactile interface allows users to efficiently navigate the social networking system data as well as to capture new content for upload to the social networking system. New content may be captured in a way that allows the user to preview the content in-context. | 06-13-2013 |
20130159834 | Smooth Scrolling with Bounded Memory Consumption - In one embodiment, in response to an event detected during presentation of a structured document in a graphical user interface of an application hosted by a device, the application renders frames and text content of the structured document by using a main processor of the device, and renders media content of the structured document within a region encompassing the graphical user interface by using a graphics processor of the device. | 06-20-2013 |
20140013243 | DYNAMICALLY SCALED NAVIGATION SYSTEM FOR SOCIAL NETWORK DATA - A user interface includes a tactile interface on a client device that allows users to interact with social networking system content in a manner that is optimized for touch screens and/or devices with limited display area. Stories associated with social networking system users and times are displayed in a scrollable list along with a timeline scrubber identifying different time periods. A position indicator is displayed proximate to the timeline scrubber to identify the time period including one or more times associated with displayed stories. Responsive to received input, details about time intervals included in a time period are displayed or the timeline scrubber appearance is modified to distinguish certain time periods. | 01-09-2014 |
20140115146 | Predicting the Future State of a Mobile Device User - In one embodiment, a method includes accessing data associated with the mobile-computing-device usage of a user; accessing data associated with past user-states of the user, where the past user-states represent previous activities or actions associated with the user's mobile-computing-device usage; predicting a future user-state of the user based, at least in part, on the accessed data; and adapting the operation of the mobile computing device of the user at the future time based on the predicted future user-state. | 04-24-2014 |
20140149935 | User-Intent-Based Chrome - In one embodiment, a method includes monitoring current user interaction with a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with an application on the computing device. The application is associated with one or more of chrome elements for initiating a function of the application. The method also includes predicting future user interaction with the GUI based at least in part on the current user interaction with the GUI. The future user interaction is next with respect to the current user interaction in a sequence of user interactions with the GUI. The method also includes determining a chrome element of the application that is associated with the future user interaction; and providing for display in association with the GUI the chrome element of the application that is associated with the future user interaction. | 05-29-2014 |
20140344406 | PHOTO SELECTION FOR MOBILE DEVICES - In one embodiment, a computing device receives from a mobile device a request for one or more images. The computing device adjusts one or more of the images based at least in part on one or more display capabilities of the mobile device, and one or more tagged regions within one or more of the images. The computing device sends to the mobile device one or more of the images as adjusted. | 11-20-2014 |
