Described are methods, systems and computer readable media for performance logging of complex query operations.

An audio/video (A/V) hub provides feedback to a user of a portable electronic device with a touch-sensitive display (such as a cellular telephone) that is used as a wireless remote control for an audio/video (A/V) display device, the A/V hub and/or a consumer-electronic device. In particular, when the A/V hub receives, from the portable electronic device, user-interface activity information associated with a user interface displayed on a touch-sensitive display, the A/V hub generates visual feedback based on the user-interface activity information. Then, the A/V hub provides the visual feedback to the A/V display device for display on the A/V display device. The visual feedback indicates a position of at least a touch contact point of a user of the portable electronic device relative to a strike area of at least a virtual command icon in the user interface.

An information processing method in an interactive apparatus that questions a user's symptom through interaction with a user includes: outputting first question information of a first type concerning the user's symptom to a display or a speaker connected to the interactive apparatus, receiving first answer information indicating an answer to the question in the first question information from a keyboard, a touch panel, or a microphone connected to the interactive apparatus, outputting second question information of the first type concerning the user's symptom to the display or the speaker when it is determined that the answer in the first answer information does not include a word in a negative expression, and outputting third question information of a second type concerning the user's symptom to the display or the speaker when it is determined that the answer in the first answer information includes the word in the negative expression.

A method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium to provide trigger-sensitive application help content to a user using a digital application. The method commences upon receiving an input application user interface, the input application user interface being encoded for display within a digital application context (e.g. on a computer screen or on a mobile device). Then, recoding the input application user interface to produce an output application user interface comprising one or more expandable screen devices added to the input application user interface. The user's progress (or lack thereof) is detected based on the user's interaction with the output application user interface page (e.g. on a computer screen or on a mobile device). At least one aspect of the method includes executing or otherwise interacting with a display protocol, the display protocol comprising detecting a trigger event, and revealing the expandable screen device to display an expanded screen device.

Described are methods, systems and computer readable media for data source refreshing.

In some embodiments, a cursor interacts with user interface objects on an electronic device. In some embodiments, an electronic device selectively displays a cursor in a user interface. In some embodiments, an electronic device displays a cursor while manipulating objects in the user interface. In some embodiments, an electronic device dismisses or switches applications using a cursor. In some embodiments, an electronic device displays user interface elements in response to requests to move a cursor beyond an edge of the display.

The present invention relates to systems and methods for providing customized keyboards for receiving user inputs, and view regions for displaying information for users in useful arrangements. Such keyboards include keys that are pre-programmed to reflect the issues present in each trading pane of the view regions. Using such keys, a user may direct the trading application to quickly and efficiently switch between multiple issues, and place, manipulate or cancel orders on them. The keyboard may also be designed such that multiple keys may be disabled, replaced or mapped to perform different functions.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs stored on computer-readable media, for retrieving relevant information content while typing are disclosed. Upon identifying text being entered by a user into a text field of a typing-enabled application, one or more keywords may be determined that match the text. The matching keywords may be presented for selection. Upon receiving a selection of a keyword, an information card related to the selected keyword may be retrieved and presented. In addition to presenting the information card, information content associated with the information card may be inserted into the text field of the typing-enabled application.
