Message corrections are effected on a user electronic device using a touch-based user interface. In response to user input in a messaging application input field indicating that a replacement or correction operation is to be carried out, the device identifies multiple strings corresponding to the correction in at least one previous message sent by the messaging application. These strings are presented in context in a user interface in a visually distinguished manner, such as highlighting. The strings may be presented with replacement text. The user then confirms which strings are to be corrected by touch input at the location of the string in the user interface. In response to the touch input, the previous message is updated with the desired changes. The updated message can then be sent to a recipient. The user interface can be used in find and replace or spellcheck operations in an editing or composition application.

Message correction and updating system and method, and associated user interface operation

A method for user interface interaction on a computing device, the method including detecting frustration with a user interface interaction on the computing device; determining a location of input events on a display of the computing device; and magnifying an area proximate to the location of input events. Further, a computing device includes a processor; and a user interface, wherein the computing device, using the processor and user interface, is configured to detect frustration with a user interface interaction on the computing device; determine a location of input events on a user interface of the computing device; and magnify an area proximate to the location of input events.

Method and system for detection and resolution of frustration with a device user interface

A system and method to determine suspicious movement of a portable device are disclosed. A determination is made that an update received by a local device was sent from a remote device different than the local device. A suspicious movement of the local device is determined based upon determining that the local device is moving at a time associated with the update and based upon determining the update originated from the remote device. Based on determining the suspicious movement, a notification of unauthorized device movement is provided.

Suspicious portable device movement determination

According to embodiments described in the specification, a method, system and apparatus for processing calendar events are provided. The method comprises: receiving a calendar event invitation message addressed to at least one recipient device and storing the calendar event invitation message in a memory; determining, at a processor, whether to disable at least one recipient device function; when the determination is affirmative, generating a recipient policy including a recipient device function identifier, and a rule associated with the function identifier; and deploying the recipient policy for the at least one recipient device such that the function is disabled at the recipient device for at least a period of time.
