    Abstract: A computing device is configured to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows an end-user to search for particular document or documents within a large collection of documents. The GUI provides a view of the overall document collection and affords the end-user the ability to reduce the number of visual document thumbnails by means of keyword search. When the end-user identifies a candidate among the reduced number of thumbnails, the end-user may select the page view of the candidate document and conduct further review. If the selected candidate is not the target document, the end-user may select adjacent documents to seamlessly transition between reading and searching. An advantage to this approach is that the visual qualities of the documents, such as images, graphical layout, and color, among others, may be incorporated into the search process. Searching for a particular target document is, thus, expedited.

    Abstract: An opacity engine for automatically and dynamically setting an opacity level for a scatterplot based on a predetermined value for a mean opacity level of utilized pixels (MOUP) in the scatterplot. The opacity engine may automatically set the opacity level for the scatterplot to produce the predetermined MOUP value in the scatterplot. A utilized pixel in the scatterplot comprises a pixel displaying at least one data point representing data. The MOUP value in the scatterplot may be equal to the sum of the final opacity levels of all utilized pixels in the chart, divided by the number of utilized pixels in the chart. The predetermined MOUP value may be between 35%-45%, such as 40%. The opacity engine may adjust the determined opacity level for charts having relatively low over-plotting factors.

    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for playing sequential video streams. The technique involves initiating playback of a first video stream within a foreground of a display region and loading at least a portion of a second video stream during the playback of the first video stream. The technique further involves detects an event associated with the playback of the first video stream, and, in response, initiating playback of the second video stream within the foreground of the display region.

    Abstract: A video processing engine is configured to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows an end-user of the video processing engine to select a specific video and search through the specific video to detect a desired target scene. The video processing engine provides a grid array of video thumbnails that are configured to each display a segment of the video so that multiple scenes may be visually scanned simultaneously. When the end-user identifies a scene within a video thumbnail that may be the desired target scene, the end-user may launch the content of the video thumbnail in full-screen mode to verify that the scene is in fact the desired target scene. An advantage of the approach described herein is that the video processing engine provides a sampled overview of the video in its entirety, thus enabling the end-user to more effectively scrub the video for the desired target scene.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for generating chronological event information. The technique involves receiving event data comprising a plurality of events, where each event is associated with a different position in a video stream. The technique further involves determining that a current playhead position in the video stream corresponds to a first position associated with a first event, and, in response, causing the first event to be displayed in an event list as a current event, causing a second event to be displayed in the event list as a previous event, where the second event is associated with a second position in the video stream that is before the first position, and causing a third event to be displayed in the event list as a next event, where the third event is associated with a third position in the video stream that is after the first position.

    Abstract: Information regarding application usage on an actor device may be provided through activity notifications and activity reports. An activity notification describing current application activity on an actor device is sent, via wireless connection, to an observer device which displays the activity notification. Activity notifications provide different granularity levels of information based on a received level selection or based on a distance (proximity) between the actor device and the observer device. An activity report representing the history of application usage on an actor device may be displayed on the actor device. For example, the activity report may be triggered to by displayed when the actor device is placed flat. The activity report provides a graphical representation of the application usage on the actor device for a predetermined time period of prior usage. The graphical representation may comprise a plurality of stripes, each stripe representing a particular application or application type.

    Abstract translation: 可以通过活动通知和活动报告来提供关于演员设备上的应用使用的信息。 通过无线连接,向actor设备描述当前应用活动的活动通知发送到显示活动通知的观察者设备。 活动通知基于接收的级别选择或基于演员设备和观察者设备之间的距离(接近度)来提供不同的粒度级别的信息。 可以在actor设备上显示表示actor设备上的应用使用历史的活动报告。 例如,当演员设备平放时,可以通过显示活动报告来触发活动报告。 活动报告提供在先前使用的预定时间段内在演员设备上的应用使用的图形表示。 图形表示可以包括多个条带,每个条带代表特定应用或应用类型。
