摘要:
Aspects relate to detecting gestures that relate to a desired action, wherein the detected gestures are common across users and/or devices within a surface computing environment. Inferred intentions and goals based on context, history, affordances, and objects are employed to interpret gestures. Where there is uncertainty in intention of the gestures for a single device or across multiple devices, independent or coordinated communication of uncertainty or engagement of users through signaling and/or information gathering can occur.

The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates authentication of a user in a surface computing environment. A device or authentication object can be carried by a user and employed to retain authentication information. An authentication component can obtain the authentication information from the device and analyze the information to verify an identity of the user. A touch input component can ascertain if a touch input is authentication by associating touch input with the user. In addition, authentication information can be employed to establish a secure communications channel for transfer of user data.
摘要:
Systems and methods that enable collaboration among users on a process for information seeking and review. A collaborative search user interface can enable division of tasks among users to mitigate undesired duplication efforts (e.g., parallelize the tasks). Moreover, attribution information associated with the search process/result for each user can be tracked, and users can opine on the search process. Accordingly, both the process and the product of the search can be performed in a collaborative manner.

The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates generating a personalized query result for a specific user. An interface can receive at least one of a portion of a text query to be searched or a portion of personalized content related to a user that submits the portion of the text query. A personalization component can combine the portion of personalized content related to the user with a portion of personalized content related to one or more disparate users to create group personalized content, wherein the group personalized content is compared with the portion of the text query to identify a relationship there between to generate a personalized query result in accordance with the relationship.
摘要:
The subject disclosure is directed towards using credibility-related data in conjunction with servicing a web request such as a search query or a request for page content. The credibility-related data may be used to convey information to a user indicative of a level of credibility, such as to view credibility information with each search result, or in association with returned web page content. The credibility-related data may be used to rank, re-rank and/or filter search results. Also described is extracting credibility-related feature data from search-related data and web pages, and using the feature data with a dataset of credibility-rated pages to learn/train relative feature weights in a credibility model used by the search engine.
摘要:
Systems and methods are provided to perform collaborative retrieval, communication, and navigation of electronic content in a co-located environment. In an illustrative implementation, a collaborative content environment comprises a collaborative content interface engine, and an instruction set comprising at least one instruction providing instructions to the collaborative content interface engine to process data representative of inputs from two or more cooperating interface devices to allow for the retrieval, communication, search, and navigation of electronic content. In the illustrative implementation, the collaborative content interface engine can present retrieved, communicated, searched, and/or navigated data according to a selected display paradigm. The display paradigm can include one or more display portions of a display pane comprising data responsive to the inputs received from the two or more cooperating interface devices.
摘要:
User interfaces for conducting multi-query searches. These user interfaces also provide specific mechanisms for supporting multi-query searches including: saving/restoring search context; search-specific query history; a “keepers” bin for storing useful results; elimination of redundant results; re-ranking of common search results; integration of searching with navigation; pivoting on search results; collaboration among multiple searchers; user-generated content; support for generation of hypotheses; re-executing queries and executing standing queries; multi-monitor searching and automatic preparation of search summaries.
摘要:
Collaborative search and share is provided by a method of facilitating collaborative content-finding, which includes displaying a toolbar user interface object for each user that not only allows each user to perform content-finding but also increases awareness of each user to the activities of other users. The method further includes displaying content results as various disparate image clips that can easily be shared, moved, etc. amongst users.
