A method and apparatus may be used for document auto-completion. In an aspect, an instruction for creating a document may be received. The document may be presented in response to the instruction, at least a first section in the document including content suggested according to context information associated with the document. An edit operation to the document may be received. Content suggested in response to the edit operation may be presented in at least a second section in the document. In another aspect, context information associated with completion of a document may be identified. Content of at least one section in the document may be generated, the content being suggested based at least on the context information. The content may be presented in the at least one section in the document.

Document auto-completion

Various embodiments related to the adjustment of a displayed range of a portion of a content selection are disclosed. In one embodiment, a computing device with an interactive display is configured to display a portion of a content selection and a control associated with the content selection. The control comprises a track and an indicator that indicates a location and a range of the portion of the content selection within the content selection as a whole. A first type of input associated with the control alters the range of the portion of the content selection displayed relative to the content selection as a whole and adjusts an appearance of the indicator, while a second type of touch input associated with the control alters a portion of the content selection displayed and moves the indicator on the track.

Adjustment of range of content displayed on graphical user interface

An interactive media display system is provided to display media associated with a selected geographic area based on a gesture input of user. The interactive media display system may include a touch-sensitive display surface configured to display a geographic map and receive a gesture input generated by a user on the touch-sensitive display surface while the geographic map is displayed, the gesture input defining a selected geographic area on the geographic map. The system may further include a controller configured, in response to the gesture input, to filter the media data based on position data to determine a filtered media data collection including media that are associated with the selected geographic area, and to command the touch-sensitive display surface to display the media in the filtered media data collection.

Selection and display of media associated with a geographic area based on gesture input

Biometric data are produced in response to user input to an interactive display. The user input occurs when the interactive display senses a user input proximate to an interactive display surface that is able to respond to simultaneous multiple inputs. A detection signal based on a user input is processed to identify biometric indicia associated with the user input. User input can be by any biometric entity, such as an animal&#x2014;not just by a human. Based on the biometric indicia identified, user biometric data are produced. The user biometric data includes parameters describing physical characteristics associated with the portion of the user that provided the user input. The biometric data can be compared to stored biometric data associated with a specific user and/or user profile, e.g., to enable access by the user to an account, and can also be employed to provide other functions, such sizing information, to applications.
