An RFID device may include one or more manually activated RFID tags configured to transmit unique RFID signals in response to a manual activation thereof. A transaction may be defined upon receiving a confluence of multiple RFID signals at the same time, or at nearly the same time, at an RFID reader. A transaction may also be defined upon receiving multiple RFID signals or confluences of such signals in a predetermined series or sequence. The RFID devices may include a single manually activated RFID tag, or two or more of such tags, which may be individually activated by one or more manual interactions from a user.

Tracking transactions by confluences and sequences of RFID signals

When a search query is provided to a search engine, and search results obtained from the search engine in response to the search query are displayed in a stream or list on a mobile device, an interaction with one or more of the search results causes information regarding the search result to be displayed within the stream or list, thereby creating a visual history of the user's interactions with the search results. Additionally, the items following a search result with which the user has interacted may be reordered based on the attributes of the search result, the user, or any other relevant factor.

In-stream pivoting search results

Described herein are techniques for adaptively displaying graphic elements (e.g., user interface elements) on a display of a device based on sensing proximity of an input device (e.g., a hand or fingertip of a user, a stylus, etc.) to the display of the device. For example, in response to an input device being detected to be less than a threshold distance from the display of the device, one or more graphic elements are presented or dynamically resized on the display. However, in response to no input device being detected to be less than the threshold distance from the display, the one or more graphic elements are not presented or are maintained in their current size on the display.
