According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for dynamically providing a tool bar in a user interface is provided. The method includes determining at least one action that is commonly performed based on data displayed on a current page of a graphical user interface of a communications device, creating a tool bar comprising at least one icon representing the at least one action, associating the tool bar with the current page of the graphical user interface, and providing the tool bar to the communications device for display on the current page of the graphical user interface.

Implementations provide user access to software functionality. In some implementations, a method includes selecting one or more portions of text. The method also includes employing the one or more portions to select software functionality. The method also includes presenting one or more user interface controls in combination with a representation of the text, where the one or more user interface controls includes a user selectable outline around one or more keywords in combination with a drop-down menu.

Voice recognition keyword user interface

Embodiments of the present invention provide a faceted browser for decision-making that enables interactive visualization of a decision space as choices are made. According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving a selection of a first choice from a user. The first choice is displayed in a user interface that includes a plurality of facets, each facet including a plurality of choices. The method further comprises disabling at least one second choice in response to the selection of the first choice, and determining a first result set in response to the selection of the first choice. The user interface is then updated in real-time to display the selected status of the first choice, the disabled status of the second choice, and the first result set to the user.

Providing interface controls based on voice commands

A system and method for facilitating user access to software functionality, such as enterprise-related software applications and associated data. An example method includes receiving language input responsive to one or more prompts; determining, based on the language input, a subject category associated with a computing object, such as a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) opportunity object; identifying an action category pertaining to a software action to be perform pertaining to the computing object; employing identification of the software action to obtain action context information pertaining to the action category; and implementing a software action in accordance with the action context information. Context information pertaining to a software flow and a particular computing object may guide efficient implementation of voice-guided software tasks corresponding to the software flows.

A mobile design pattern. In an example embodiment, the design pattern includes a first user interface display screen that depicts a list of user interface controls organized in rows. Each row in the list includes a different set of one or more controls. Each different set of one or more controls is associated with a different set of functionality provided by one or more additional user interface display screens. The example design pattern further includes a second user interface display screen that is accessible via the different sets of one or more controls. The second user interface display screen includes a navigation bar, which includes one or more navigation controls and a title or header identifying a set of functionality associated with the different set of one or more controls. The second user interface display screen further includes an information-display region adapted to display data associated with the set of functionality.

A graphical user interface for searching information related to business objects includes a search interface having one or more user input fields for receiving data from a user related to one or more attributes associated with business objects. The search interface presents the one or more user input fields in response to a user context. A first tab displays information related to a set of business objects in response to a search based on the data provided to the one or more user input fields. A second tab displays information related to a business object in the set of business objects.

Compact focused search interface

Disclosed is an improved approach for implementing a method, system, and computer program product for utilizing design patterns, which provides an improved approach for organizing, navigating and/or visualizing design patterns. This approach may be embodied as a mobile design pattern viewer. The current approach presents design patterns in logical groupings, allows visualization of individual patterns, and highlights relationships. This permits organization, navigation, and/or visualization of the design patterns, where a collection of patterns work together as an integrated set that enables users to understand how an individual pattern relates to other patterns.

Embodiments provide user access to software functionality such as enterprise-related software applications and accompanying actions and data. An example method includes receiving natural language input; analyzing the natural language input and selecting one or more portions of the natural language input; employing the one or more keywords to select software functionality; and presenting one or more user interface controls in combination with a representation of the natural language input, wherein the one or more user interface controls are adapted to facilitate user access to the software functionality. In a more specific embodiment, the natural language input is functionally augmented via in-line tagging of keywords or phrases, wherein the tags act as user interface controls for accessing selected software functionality.

Enhanced voice command of computing devices

Systems and method for interpreting a data selection on a touch screen may include providing an interface on the touch screen with a plurality of lanes, each lane associated with an attribute, and each attribute associated with a plurality of values. Icons may fill each lane, with each icon configured to display one of the values of the attribute of the lane. The interface may also have a first lane where a first icon is not displayed. It may be determined that a finger gesture input from the touch screen with a direction is associated with the first lane, and in response, the icons in the first lane may be moved in that direction to display the first icon. A finger tap input from the touch screen corresponding to the first icon may enlarge a size of the first icon on the touch screen to substantially fill the first lane.

Quick data entry lanes for touch screen mobile devices

Systems and method for dynamic creation of product structure using a graphical user interface (GUI) are disclosed. A method for dynamic creation of products structures may include displaying information specifying a set of product items using the GUI. Input can be received via the GUI. The input may be indicative of one or more product levels within a product structure. A user may indent or otherwise manipulate the set of product items into one or more product levels. A product structure can then be generated based on the one or more product levels. In some embodiments, display of the set of product items can be updated to reflect the product structure.

Dynamic creation of product structure

Method and system for facilitating accessing or retrieving desired data via use of graphically displayed search/sort toggle functionality. The method includes providing a first user option to toggle between display of a search control and a sort control. Search results are displayed in response to user input provided via the search control. Default search results may be initially displayed. A portion of the search results may be displayed simultaneously with one or more controls associated with the first user option.
