20090303231 | Touch Screen Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Manipulating Three-Dimensional Virtual Objects - An electronic device with a touch screen display, a computer-implemented method, and a graphical user interface for navigating in three-dimensional virtual spaces and manipulating three-dimensional objects in the virtual spaces using simple finger gestures are disclosed. | 12-10-2009 |
20090307626 | BROWSING OR SEARCHING USER INTERFACES AND OTHER ASPECTS - User interfaces for browsing and/or searching are described. In some embodiments, an icon representing a file is displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI), where the icon includes one or more predefined decorations. The decorations may be chosen based on the file type, such as slide decorations for presentations, a foldover for documents, etc. This may also be referred to as type conformance. A preview of the content of the file is presented within the icon without launching an application which has created the file (also referred to as the creator application). The pre-defined decorations on the icon may be maintained on the icon while the preview of the content of the file is presented. The format of the icon (e.g., shape of the icon, size of the icon, etc.) may be maintained as well during presentation of the preview. Other embodiments are also described, and computer readable media and apparatuses are also described. | 12-10-2009 |
20120182316 | Assisted Image Selection - Assisted face selection is disclosed. According to some implementations, a method can include obtaining contact information associated with a contact and displaying on an interface of a computing device an image (e.g., a thumbnail image) representative of the contact. The method can include receiving an indication to change the contact-representative image, determining that one or more other images from a plurality of other images correspond to the contact based on the contact information, and displaying the one or more other images. The method can include receiving a selection of one of the one or more other images and displaying on the interface the selected image as the contact-representative image. Receiving the indication can include receiving a selection of the displayed contact-representative image. Automatic selection of images is also disclosed. | 07-19-2012 |
20130080954 | Contact Graphical User Interface - A contact GUI is presented on a display of a device. The GUI displays visual representations of a set of contacts. The contacts can be ranked according to a ranking system and the visual representations of the contacts can be displayed in the GUI according to rank. The ranking can be based on previous interactions with the contact or an upcoming event associated with the contact. A user can transfer a file to a contact by dragging and dropping a file icon onto a visual representation for a recipient contact. The communication mode for the transfer can be determined manually by the user or automatically based on the contact's current online status. Selection of a visual representation of a contact exposes a window with a timeline display providing descriptors for communications with the contact. | 03-28-2013 |
20130205219 | SHARING SERVICES - Apparatuses and methods relating to content sharing are described. In one embodiment, a match between content type and one or more content services determine what content sharing services are displayed. In one embodiment, content sharing is accessible to all applications in an operating system. | 08-08-2013 |
20130212470 | Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Sharing a Content Object in a Document - An electronic device with a display: concurrently displays a first electronic document and a second electronic document, the first electronic document including a displayed content object; detects a first user input that starts on the content object; in response to a determination that the first user input corresponds to a first command, creates and displays a copy of the content object in the second electronic document; and, in response to a determination that the first user input corresponds to a second command, distinct from the first command: selects the content object; displays an animation of the content object separating from the first electronic document; and initiates display of a plurality of icons proximate to the separated content object, the plurality of icons including at least one icon to initiate display of a user interface for sending the content object to one or more other users. | 08-15-2013 |

20120185498 | Tokenized Search Suggestions - Embodiments of tokenized search suggestions include generating, by at least one suggestion engine executing on a data processing system, first suggestions based on first text input in a text input field. The first suggestions are displayed on a display device and a selection of one of the first suggestions is received. The first text input is replaced with a first token corresponding to the selected one of the first suggestions. The at least one suggestion engine generates second suggestions based on second text input in the text input field and filters the second suggestions using the selected one of the first suggestions. The filtered selections are displayed on a display device. | 07-19-2012 |
20130290291 | Tokenized Search Suggestions - Embodiments of tokenized search suggestions include generating, by at least one suggestion engine executing on a data processing system, first suggestions based on first text input in a text input field. The first suggestions are displayed on a display device and a selection of one of the first suggestions is received. The first text input is replaced with a first token corresponding to the selected one of the first suggestions. The at least one suggestion engine generates second suggestions based on second text input in the text input field and filters the second suggestions using the selected one of the first suggestions. The filtered selections are displayed on a display device. | 10-31-2013 |
20140365901 | PUSHING MAP INFORMATION FROM A DEVICE TO OTHER DEVICES - A method of sending map related information from a device to a set of associated devices is provided. The method displays a map on a display screen of a first device. The method receives a request to share map information with other associated devices. The method displays a list of a set of devices associated with the first device. The method receives a selection of one or more devices in the set of devices. The method identifies the map information to share based on a set of criteria. The method sends the identified map information from the first device to the identified devices. | 12-11-2014 |
20140365935 | Mapping Application with Interactive Compass - Some embodiments provide a mapping application that includes a novel compass control that can be used to navigate a presentation of a map. The mapping application displays one of a two-dimensional (2D) presentation of the map and a three-dimensional (3D) presentation of the map at a given time. The compass control may be used to rotate a view of the map based on a first type of input to the compass control and transition between the 2D presentation and the 3D presentation based on a second type of input to the compass control. In addition to causing the application to perform the various operations, the compass control in some embodiments serves as (1) an indicator as to whether the mapping application is currently in a 2D mode or a 3D mode and (2) an indicator that continuously points to north. | 12-11-2014 |
