20120159434 | CODE CLONE NOTIFICATION AND ARCHITECTURAL CHANGE VISUALIZATION - A code verification system is described herein that provides augmented code review with code clone analysis and visualization to help software developers automatically identify similar instances of the same code and to visualize differences in versions of software code over time. The system uses code clone search technology to identify code clones and to present the user with information about similar code as the developer makes changes. The system may provide automated notification to the developer or to other teams as changes are made to code segments with one or more related clones. The code verification system also helps the developer to understand architectural evolution of a body of software code. The code verification system provides an analysis component for determining architectural differences based on the code clone detection result between the two versions of the software code base. The code verification system also provides a user interface component for displaying identified differences to developers and others involved with the software development process in intuitive and useful ways. | 06-21-2012 |
20130152000 | SENTIMENT AWARE USER INTERFACE CUSTOMIZATION - The customization of an application user interface with a skin package based on context data that includes the emotional states of a user may strengthen the emotional attachment for the application by the user. The customization includes determining an emotional state of a user that is inputting content into an application. A skin package for the user interface of the application is selected based on the emotional state of the user. The selected skin package is further applied to the user interface of the application. | 06-13-2013 |
20130159920 | SCENARIO-ADAPTIVE INPUT METHOD EDITOR - An input method editor (IME) described herein couples scenarios of the input of the user with specific network services to offer more relevant and richer candidates for higher input productivity. Data relating to a computer application in which the input candidates are to be input and/or context relating to a user-submitted query is collected and analyzed to determine a scenario. The input candidates may include text candidates and rich candidates. The IME may select a scenario-tuned and type specific engine to identify the text candidates and/or rich candidates. The scenario-tuned text candidate engines leverage scenario-tuned language models and lexicons, and the scenario-tuned rich candidate engines leverage scenario-relevant web services, such as image, mapping, and video search, when available and appropriate. | 06-20-2013 |
20130346872 | INPUT METHOD EDITOR APPLICATION PLATFORM - An input method editor (IME) provides a distributed platform architecture that enables associating multiple applications with the IME to provide extended functionalities. The presentations of the applications, such as skins, may be different from each other and that of the IME. The applications may be represented in a manifest file that is human-readable and editable. The IME collects multiple parameters relating to a user input into a host application including a query input by the user and a scenario of the host application, and selects one or more applications to provide candidates based on a score or ranking of the applications under the collected multiple parameters. Machine-learning may be used to improve the score or ranking. The candidates may include text candidates, rich candidates, and informative candidates. | 12-26-2013 |
20150106702 | Cross-Lingual Input Method Editor - Some implementations provide techniques and arrangements for cross lingual candidate suggestion. For instance, some display a user interface of a host application including a text entry area. An input method editor (IME) receives one or more characters as input. In response, one or more completion candidates are displayed, at least one of the completion candidates being a cross lingual completion candidate in a language different from the one or more characters. | 04-16-2015 |
20150121290 | Semantic Lexicon-Based Input Method Editor - Some implementations provide techniques and arrangements for semantic lexicon based processing, such as in an input method editor. In some instances, a semantic label may be received that is to be defined for a semantic lexicon and at least a first term may be identified as a positive or negative example of the semantic label. In response, some examples may label at least a second term in the semantic lexicon with the semantic label based at least in part on the identification of the first term as a positive or negative example of the semantic label. | 04-30-2015 |
20150121291 | Input Method Editor - An input method editor (IME) may include a normal mode and a rich candidate mode. The IME may present text candidates in response to receiving user inputs in the normal mode, and rich text candidates in addition to the text candidates in response to receiving user inputs in the rich candidate mode. | 04-30-2015 |
20150193011 | Determining Input Associated With One-to-Many Key Mappings - In some examples, a physical keyboard is used with a computing device. For instance, the physical keyboard can be integrated with a bottom bezel area of a tablet computing device. Gesture sensors can also be integrated with the physical keyboard to provide functionality associated with thumb gestures. To illustrate, thumb gestures can be used for spacebar functionality, zooming in and out of an area on a display, or rotating an area on a display. In some instances, touch sensors can also be integrated with one or more keys of the physical keyboard to provide additional input to the computing device for determining keyboard input. In an implementation, touch sensors can be integrated on a top surface of a key or on one or more sides of a key. | 07-09-2015 |
