Systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for managing a subset of contacts on a telecommunications device are provided. In one embodiment, a software application executed by a processor of a telecommunications device identifies a subset of contacts selected at least in part by a user of the telecommunications device. The subset of contacts includes a portion of the user's contacts accessible by the telecommunications device. The software application causes display of a first portion of graphical identifiers associated with a first portion of the subset of contacts along a first path on a display of the telecommunications device about an axis positioned external to the display of the telecommunications device. The software application further causes display of a second portion of graphical identifiers associated with a second portion of the subset of contacts along a second path on the display of the telecommunications device about the external axis.

Variable path management of user contacts

Devices described herein are configured to receive a post to a collaboration space shared by a group of users and provide the post to the group of users through a user interface associated with the collaboration space. In some embodiments, the group of users is a social network or social network group. The devices are further configured to automatically create a content item associated with an application of a device of at least one user of the group of users based on the post, the content item accessible through a user interface of the application.

Automatic content creation based on group collaboration spaces

A device configured to select a portion of an image, the selecting being based at least on parameters associated with a user interface element of the device, is disclosed herein. The device is further configured to apply the selected portion of the image to the user interface element.

Image-derived user interface enhancements

Dynamic icons associated with remote content provide one or more pieces of information to a user by changing the appearance of the icon based on changes to data of a data source associated with the icon. For example, when the icon represents data available from a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed, the icon may be represented as an image extracted from the RSS feed, which may change when the RSS feed is updated or includes new content. In some embodiments, the icon may by dynamically updated based on user information and/or device information, such as an icon for a weather forecast that is based at least in part on a location of a device and thus directs the icon to show imagery and/or information based at least in part on the respective location.

Dynamic icons associated with remote content

An anamorphic projection device is described. In one aspect, the device includes at least one camera and a projector such as a pico projector. The device receives information from the camera to sense position and orientation of a projection surface independent of the device. Based on this received information, the device renders an anamorphic image for perspective viewing on the sensed projection surface. In one implementation, the device receives the image wirelessly, for example, from a website. In one aspect, the device includes a user interface or UI. The UI allows a device user to navigate a projected image (e.g., use a cursor control or other means to navigate a webpage), present/download a new projected image, lock a projected image to a coordinate space on the projection surface to reduce or eliminate movement of the projected image responsive to user or device movement, etc.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for managing a subset of user contacts on a telecommunications device are provided. In one embodiment, a software application executed by a processor of a telecommunications device identifies a subset of contacts selected at least in part by a user of the telecommunications device. The subset of contacts includes a portion of the user's contacts accessible by the telecommunications device. The software application executed by the processor of the telecommunications device then causes display of a first portion of graphical identifiers associated with a first portion of the subset of contacts along a first path on a display of the telecommunications device about an axis positioned external to the display of the telecommunications device. The software application further causes display of a second portion of graphical identifiers associated with a second portion of the subset of contacts along a second path on the display of the telecommunications device about the external axis. Aspects of systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for further arranging the graphical identifiers are also provided. Even further, aspects of systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for providing functionality associated with the graphical identifiers are provided.
