Methods and systems for providing status and progress information on a scrollbar are described. A user opens a software application to perform operations or view items. The application includes a scrollbar in its graphical user interface. The user may perform a plurality of operations. The application determines a position on the scrollbar corresponding to a location of the operation or item. The application determines a status representation corresponding to a status of the operation or item. The application determines a height of a scrollbar segment corresponding to a length of the operation or item. The application displays the status representation in the scrollbar segment at the position. The application may also display changes in the status representation to provide progress information.

There are provided systems and methods for transportation check-in and payment using beacons. A service provider, such as a transportation, payment, or other service provider, may utilize short range wireless beacons at or near a transportation service that provide automated check-in with a user device. When the user device is in proximity to the beacon, the user may be checked-in and provide payments for use of the transportation service, such as payment for a transportation fare. The user may receive scheduling and/or updates for the transportation service. Additionally, while the user is travelling with the transportation service, the user may purchase extra fare if the user realizes that current travel coverage of the purchased transportation fare does not cover an expected cost of the trip. The extra fare may be automatically purchased if the user device loses power or the user is unaware of the trip cost.

An X-Y interaction (XYI) facilitates rapid relationship pairing by creating tap or selection zones that intersect variables. The y-axis contains an indefinite number of variables (items) that can be assigned to x-axis variables (groups). 'Items' are individual bits of information or data, like a transaction, song, item, or a to-do task. 'Groups' are predefined buckets that apply specific rules or actions or represent specific things or people. Items get assigned to groups, and then the rules are applied to them. Items along the y-axis can be organized based on where along an x-axis a user selects an item. The selection can be by tapping, and one item can be selected for multiple groups.

Selection and organization based on selection of X-Y position

Systems and methods for providing merchant/customer interaction include determining that a tablet computer is in a merchant orientation, retrieving merchant product information according to a received instruction and merchant orientation information, and displaying a merchant screen on the tablet computer that includes the merchant product information according to the merchant orientation information. A change in the orientation of the tablet computer enclosure/stand is then detected from the merchant orientation to a customer orientation. In response, the merchant screen is transitioned on the tablet computer display to a customer screen as the tablet computer enclosure/stand changes orientations by moving the merchant screen and the customer screen linearly while in a stacked orientation. The customer screen includes the merchant product information displayed according to customer orientation information such that the merchant product information is displayed differently on the customer screen relative to the merchant screen.

Merchant/customer POS interaction system

There are provided systems and method for targeted assistance on user check-in. A service location may provide beacons at or near the location to determine if a user approaching or at the service location has any experience with the service location. For example, a merchant may place a beacon at the entrance to a store to determine if a user has shopped at the store. Thus, when a user is in proximity to the beacon, a user device of the user and the beacon may establish a check-in. Through a user identifier communicated to the beacon, the service provider at the location may determine a user history, such as a number of visits by the user to the service location. The service location may then provide targeted assistance, such as information, personal help, item searches, etc., based on the user's history with the merchant.

Systems and methods for targeted assistance on user check-in

Systems and methods for transmitting beacon messages are described. A beacon message is transmitted from a first beacon device and broadcast to an area within a transmission range of the first beacon device. A mobile device receives and stores the message. When the mobile device is out of the range of the first beacon device and within the range of a second beacon device, the message is transmitted to the second beacon device and broadcast by the second beacon device.

Beacon content propagation

A service provider system remembers feedback by a user when the user selects an offer, a presented option, or other content from a page or display on a user device. The user is then taken to a new page or screen with details about the offer, option, or other content. When the user goes back to the original page or screen, the page is revised based on the user feedback. For example, a dialog box may pop up over the selected offer to ask the user whether the user accepted the offer or is not interested in the offer. If so, the offer disappears and subsequent pages may not show the selected offer again.

Local contextual display

Systems and methods are provided according to one or more embodiments for conducting transactions based on actions or gestures such as physical interactions between users each having a user device. In that regard, gestures such as a handshake or other physical interactions between users may be detected to determine transaction details such as a payment amount or a value to be transferred from one user via a user device to a recipient via a recipient device. The amount or value may then be transferred based on one or more determinations including proximity between the user or the user device and the recipient or the recipient device, a specific action or gesture, voice commands, facial recognition, preset transfer instructions, a unique identifier, or other close-quarter determinations.

Physical interaction dependent transactions

Methods and systems for configuring a tab in a tab control are described. An application creates the tab control, and the user is presented with a tab control including multiple tabs. At least one special tab includes a text label that suggests it can be user defined, such as 'Other.' When the user presses this tab, the tab shows a pressed state momentarily and then morphs into a text field. The user can then type in text, and the text is recorded for that tab. If the user decides that he or she wants to change the text in the special tab, the user can select the special tab again to enter new text.

Tab control with a variable text entry tab

Methods and systems for selecting multiple rows, columns, and/or cells are described. A user opens or otherwise accesses a file or document containing multiple rows, columns, and/or cells. The user hover a cursor or pointer over a particular row, column, or cell, or the user touches a particular row, column, or cell on a touchscreen. A single checkbox appears for that particular row, column, or cell. When the user selects that checkbox, unselected checkboxes for the other rows, columns, or cells appear. From there, the user can choose to select all the checkboxes or just some of the checkboxes to perform a mass action on the selected rows, columns, or cells.

Checkbox mass editing

A card reader for use with a mobile device includes a foot and/or a housing for a jack on the bottom of the card reader prevents the card reader from accidently turning off the mobile device during use.

Techniques are described for displaying projects of images as 'collages'. Collages differ from conventional thumbnail displays of projects in that collages display an entire project as if the project were a single image. Consequently, collages better convey the characteristics of projects as a whole, while de-emphasizing the distinctiveness of individual images within the projects. When displayed as collages, side-by-side comparisons may be readily performed between projects as a whole. For example, a single display may include collages for multiple projects, thereby allowing viewers to quickly tell how the projects differ in a variety of ways, including but not limited to size of shoot or density of shoot, dominant color, mood, time of day, bracketed shots or bursts, location and subject matter. The content of the collage for a project is based on the individual images that belong to the project. However, details of the individual images on which the project image is based may not be readily discernible from the collage. In addition, not all individual images that belong to a project may be used in a collage. Techniques for selecting which individual images of a project to include in the project are also described.

Collage display of image projects

When a user shakes a mobile device, such as a smart phone, new content is shown on the display of the mobile device. In one embodiment, the content depends on the page or location the user is currently on within the mobile app or mobile browser page and can depend also on the history or experience level of the user.
