Device linking is described. In one or more implementations, data is maintained at a network service that describes characteristics of a plurality of devices that are associated with a user account of the network service. A communication is formed to be received by one of the plurality of devices that includes a portion of the data that pertains to another one of the plurality of devices and that is suitable by the receiving device to discover the other one of the plurality of devices to initiate a local network connection between the devices.

Systems and methods are described that enable handwriting into a data-entry field on a screen without independently selecting that data-entry field. These systems and methods can also provide a handwriting guide geographically associated with a data-entry field into which a user is intending to write that permits substantially all of a computing device's screen to be viewed.

Systems and methods for building and/or simplifying structured-document path-language expressions are described. One of these systems or methods enables a user to graphically select structured-document path-language functions and addresses. With these addresses and functions, a structured-document path-language expression can be built without a user having to fully understand or type in syntax for the expression. Another of these systems or methods simplifies structured-document path-language address and function syntax. This simplification can aid a user in building and easily understanding a structured-document path-language expression.

摘要:
A system and method for facilitating social interactions between different individuals. Information available about each of the individuals engaged in a social interaction is used to provide a “social accelerator” for an interaction between the individuals. Social interactions are improved or accelerated by aggregating available information about individuals participating in an information system. When an interaction event trigger is received, the context of context for possible social interaction between the users around the trigger event is determined. A social accelerator is selected from available interest information common to the participating user and the target user, and the social accelerator is provided to one of the individuals.
摘要:
Systems and methods are disclosed for creating document schema. The disclosed systems and methods may include receiving schema corresponding to meta-data associated with a document, storing the schema in the document, and storing the meta-data in the document. Furthermore, the disclosed systems and methods may include storing the schema at a first location. The schema stored at the first location may be changeable independent of the schema stored in the document. In addition, the disclosed systems and methods may include creating a first hash of the schema stored in the document and storing the first hash in the document. Moreover, the disclosed systems and methods may include determining that the schema stored at the first location has changed if a second hash of the schema stored at the first location is different from the first hash of the schema stored in the document.
摘要:
A system and method for aggregating and consolidating game notifications is described. In one aspect, game related notifications of different types, from different game sessions, from different games, and from different gaming platforms are aggregated and further consolidated, according to a set of consolidation rules, into a single consolidated environment. The consolidated environment may be projected to and managed from a variety of different gaming devices including mobile devices, gaming and media consoles, and personal computers.
