Abstract: Technologies are described for generating, acquiring, transferring, and manipulating sets of interaction representations, where an interaction representation represents user interaction with content on a computer device, typically using a software application. The set can be represented as an interaction representation. To facilitate set creation, including adding items to a set, a request can be sent to an application to provide an interaction representation, such as an interaction representation of a current state of user-content interaction associated with the software application. Sets can be associated with different types, where the set type can determine whether, and what types, of interaction representations can be added to a set. Sets can be associated with expiration events, where the interaction representation for the set, and in some cases the component interaction representations, can be deleted upon the occurrence of the expiration event. In some cases, a set can be designated not to expire.

Abstract: Least disruptive icon displacement techniques are described herein which enable rearrangement of icons by selectively applying multiple different displacement strategies for handling of displacement events (e.g., moving or adding icons). In one or more implementations, initiation of a displacement event to position an icon within an arrangement of icons is detected. Responsive to the detection, multiple available displacement strategies implemented by the computing platform are evaluated and a displacement strategy for rearrangement of the arrangement to position the icon is selected. Selection of the displacement strategy is based on an assessment of a level of disruption caused by the different displacement strategies to identify a least disruptive option. Then, rearrangement of the arrangement of icons is controlled using the displacement strategy that is selected.

Abstract translation: 本文描述了最小破坏性图标位移技术，其通过选择性地应用用于处理位移事件（例如移动或添加图标）的多个不同位移策略来重新排列图标。 在一个或多个实现中，检测到位置事件的启动以将图标定位在图标的排列内。 针对检测，对计算平台实施的多种可用位移策略进行评估，并选择用于重新布置排列图标的排列策略。 选择流离失所战略是基于对不同流离失所战略造成的破坏程度的评估，以确定最不利的选择。 然后，使用所选择的位移策略来控制图标布置的重新排列。

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for arranging tiles. These techniques and apparatuses enable users to quickly and easily arrange tiles within an interface, such as an application-launching interface. In some cases, users may arrange tiles in an interface with as little as one continuous gesture.
