Methods and Systems for Positioning Animated Images Within a Dynamic Keyboard Interface
The present disclosure is directed to positioning animated images within a dynamic keyboard interface. In particular, the methods and systems of the present disclosure can: receive, from a user device on which an application is executed, data indicating a context of: the application, and/or a dynamic keyboard interface provided in association with the application; identify, based at least in part on the data indicating the context, a plurality of different animated images, including an animated image comprising an advertisement, for presentation by the dynamic keyboard interface; communicate, to the user device, data indicating the plurality of different animated images; receive, from the user device, data indicating a selection of the animated image comprising the advertisement; and determine, based at least in part on the data indicating the selection and the data indicating the context, a position within the dynamic keyboard interface for presenting the animated image comprising the advertisement.
Detecting messages with offensive content
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage medium, to facilitate interception of messages that include offensive content. In one aspect, a method includes actions of receiving input on a user device that includes message content, determining, on the user device, whether the message content includes offensive content, and in response to determining, on the user device, that the message content includes offensive content, generating an alert message for display on the user device that provides an indication that the message includes offensive content.
PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD, AND GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR DISPLAYING ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS AND LISTS
In a computer-implemented method, a portion of an electronic document is displayed on a touch screen display of a portable multifunction device. The displayed portion has a vertical position and a horizontal position in the electronic document. An object is detected on or near the displayed portion of the electronic document. In response to detecting the object, a vertical bar and a horizontal bar are displayed on top of the displayed portion. The vertical bar has a vertical position on top of the displayed portion that corresponds to the vertical position in the electronic document of the displayed portion. The horizontal bar has a horizontal position on top of the displayed portion that corresponds to the horizontal position in the electronic document of the displayed portion. After a predetermined condition is met, display of the vertical bar and of the horizontal bar is ceased.

Rebar Joint Tie Tool
An apparatus and a method for displaying content of a third party to a cellular phone of a patron of premises are shown and described. The premises may be for example a restaurant in which a premises display apparatus which is part of the apparatus system is placed on a table used by the patron. The patron may utilize the premises display apparatus to cause a particular commercial solicitation by the third party to appear on a screen of his or her cellular phone by an initiating action by the patron. The communication may be a commercial transaction completed using the cellular phone. The premises display apparatus selectively enables a generic menu of third party icons, or a home web page of one or more third parties, or another specific web page of any selected third party or via an application to be displayed on the cellular phone.

EMAIL ASSISTANT OPTIONS BAR FOR EMAIL APPLICATIONS
Systems and methods are described for providing an email assistant options bar. An assistant engine of an email application can identify contacts of a user profile that the user interacts with the most frequently based on a set of rules. When a user interacts with an email in the email application using a predetermined input type, the assistant engine can display the email assistant options bar. The email assistant options bar can include icons representing the identified contacts that the user interacts with the most frequently and a set of actions that can be performed to interact with the contacts. Some examples of actions can include forwarding the selected email, calling a contact, and setting up a meeting. The user can select one or more of the contacts and one of the actions. The assistant engine can perform the selected action with the selected contact as the recipient.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TEXT-BASED DELIVERY OF SALES PROMOTIONS WITH DEFERRED TEXT-TO-CALL INTERACTIONS
