20090259932 | USER-SELECTABLE HIDE OPTION FOR A USER INTERFACE, WHICH IS NOT PERSISTED, AND WHICH IS NOT DEPENDENT UPON INTRA-DOCUMENT CONTROLS - A stored document of a persistent data store can include digitally encoded content. A version of the stored document can be created that is placed in a non-persistent memory. This version can be referred to as a rendered document. Content from the rendered document can be presented in a user interface. A user selection of a user defined portion of the presented content can be received. Additionally, a user issued command to hide the selected portion of the presented content can be received. The rendered document can be responsively changed to omit the user defined portion of the presented content when outputting the presented content to at least one output device. The changing of the rendered document to omit the user defined portion is unable to affect the stored document in any fashion. | 10-15-2009 |
20120144286 | AUTOMATICALLY CAPTURING AND ANNOTATING CONTENT - Some embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to detecting a modification of a portion of content presented on a display. The detecting of the modification of the portion of content is in response to user input. Some embodiments are further directed to generating a screen capture of at least the portion of the content presented on the display in response to detecting the modification of the portion of the content. Some embodiments are further directed to generating an indicator (e.g., an annotation) in response to generating the screen capture. The indicator specifies (e.g., highlights) the modification (e.g., a difference in appearance) of the portion of the content that occurred via the user input. Some embodiments are further directed to associating the indicator with the screen capture. | 06-07-2012 |
20140149553 | NON-CHRONOLOGICAL BUFFERING OF SEGMENTS OF A MEDIA FILE - Processing a media file includes receiving a request for a media file from a client system and determining, using a processor, a non-chronological ordering of a plurality of segments of the media file for buffering according to historical playback data for each of the plurality of segments of the media file. A first segment of the media file is sent for buffering to the client system as specified by the non-chronological ordering of the plurality of segments. The non-chronological ordering is determined prior to sending any segment of the media file to the client system. | 05-29-2014 |

20140164523 | AUTOMATED ENABLING OF INSTANT MESSAGING COMMUNICATIONS IN A CLIENT SYSTEM - Communicating using an instant messaging client includes detecting an auto-start event for an instant messaging client, wherein the instant messaging client is disabled and associated with a target user, and enabling, using a processor, the instant messaging client responsive to detecting the auto-start event. A list of users permitted to contact the target user through the instant messaging client is updated responsive to enabling the instant messaging client from the auto-start event. | 06-12-2014 |
20140253672 | GUIDING A DESIRED OUTCOME FOR AN ELECTRONICALLY HOSTED CONFERENCE - Arrangements described herein relate to guiding a desired outcome for an electronically hosted conference. During the electronically hosted conference, participant activity related to the electronically hosted conference can be monitored for each of a plurality of participants participating in the electronically hosted conference. Based on the participant activity, a sentiment of each of the plurality of participants with regard to a subject of the electronically hosted conference can be determined. A list of the participants can be presented to a user. The list of the participants can be sequentially ordered, based on the sentiment of each of the plurality of participants, indicating an order in which to poll the participants to achieve the desired outcome for a decision requested of the participants in the electronically hosted conference. | 09-11-2014 |
