A server has a processor and a memory storing a multiple channel message thread module with instructions executed by the processor to identify when participants at client devices are actively viewing a common message thread at the same time to establish a participant viewing state. An alternate channel communication lock prompt is supplied .he client devices in response to the participant viewing state. An alternate channel communication is delivered to the client devices in response to activation of the alternate channel communication lock prompt by at least one participant,

A method and system for causing a command-based composite template to be displayed in a communication stream are disclosed, the composite template including representations of first and second users combined with a representation of a selected template.

A method and system for causing a command-based personalized composite icon to be displayed in a communication stream are disclosed, the personalized composite icon including comprising a representation of a first user combined with a selected icon.

A method for engagement based contextual feedback, the method determines a required level of attention for a user interacting with content in a user interface of an electronic device and determines a level of attention for the user interacting with the content in the user interface of the electronic device. In responsive to determining the required level of attention is greater than the level of attention for the user, the method identifies available corrective actions performable by one or more electronic components on the electronic device. In responsive to identifying one or more user and electronic device interactions, the method selects one or more corrective actions from the available actions based on the one or more user and electronic device interactions. The method performs, via the one or more electronic components, the selected one or more corrections actions on the electronic device.

Provided is a technique for supporting communication of a method for using an application for a key-input display apparatus that displays a key input on the application on an execution screen of the application displayed on a display unit. The key-input display apparatus includes an input-history display control unit that outputs an input-history display screen to the display unit. The input-history display screen sequentially displays key operation histories of key inputs one by one as a separate screen from the execution screen of the application. Thus, key inputs for the application are visualized, and therefore there is no need to alternately follow an input operation with an input device, such as a keyboard, and the execution screen of the application with eyes, allowing easy grasp of key inputs by watching the input-history display screen displayed side by side with the execution screen of the application.

Described are methods, systems and computer readable media for GUI control elements and associated processing methods.

In a case where an input field is selected, an information processing apparatus determines whether a remote operation is being performed, and based on a state of the remote operation, the information processing apparatus displays or hides a software keyboard of the information processing apparatus.

A system and method provide feedback regarding the confirmation of automated and operator assigned tasks, wherein one of the operator tasks and automation tasks includes a value for a parameter. The operator task and automation task that includes the value is rendered subsequent to being accomplished if the value does not match the parameter.
