A method, computer program product, and computer system are provided. A processor identifies a webpage currently being viewed by a user. A processor accesses the webpage using a public account. A processor determines shared content of the webpage. A processor, in response to a public view of the webpage including unapproved shared content, generates an indication of the unapproved shared content within the user's view of the webpage.

Data monitor for detecting unintentional sharing of content

During presentation of an electronic form on a user interface device of a computer, a most likely input value for a first form field is estimated as the most often historically input value the in the first field, and the user's attention is re-directed to fill the fields in an order different from a natural reading order, according to the best available historical input patterns. This proposed auto-fill value is indicated on the electronic form associated with the first form field. If the user accepts, modifies or replaces the proposed auto-fill value, a most likely value for a second (next) field is estimated. The process is repeated for additional form fields until the form is submitted, saved, or otherwise completed, thereby using strong relationships between two or more input values for different fields as statistically determined from historical completions of the electronic form to predict and assist in future completions.

Visual user attention redirection while form filling to enhance auto-fill accuracy

In an approach to extending an application on an external device, the present invention extends graphical elements associated with the application to external devices utilizing assigned roles based on device capabilities from a maintained device table. The present invention compares device capabilities with historical application utilization to determine roles and extends the application to the external device based on the determined roles.

Application extension to localized external devices

A method displays a copy of a specified display area on a computer display. A first signal is received from a user. The first signal specifies a display area on a display as a specified display area. The specified display area presents a dynamic activity being performed on a computer. A second signal is received from the user to identify a particular object in the specified display area. A copy of the specified display area, which includes only the particular object, is generated. The copy of the specified display area has a same shape as the specified display area, presents the dynamic activity being performed on the computer, and is displayed on the display.

Generating and displaying a specific area

The present invention provides a snap function that can move an object smoothly, without deteriorating the user operability. According to the present invention, there is provided an object editing system, including: an arrangement system for arranging an object and a snap target in a given display area; a moving system for moving the object in the display area; a snap system for causing the object to snap the snap target on a basis of a distance between the object and the snap target; and a restriction system for inhibiting the object from snapping the snap target on a basis of a direction in which the object is moving. According to the object editing system of the invention, the snap system causes the object to snap the snap target once the distance between the object and the snap target has become smaller than a predetermined threshold value.
