A computer-implemented method of providing text entry assistance data includes receiving at a system location information associated with a user, receiving at the system information indicative of predictive textual outcomes, generating dictionary data using the location information, and providing the dictionary data to a remote device.

Nonstandard locality-based text entry

A method and system for presenting promotional content to a user of a communication device involves receiving information from a communication device, where the information relates to the communication device, and identifying a result relating to the information that is capable of being presented in a plurality of formats on the communication device, and dynamically selecting a format for the result from among the plurality of formats, and presenting the result in the selected format for display by the communication device.

Dispatch system to remote devices

A computer-implemented communications method is discussed. The method includes receiving a typed user input in a texting conversation on an electronic communication channel between two or more users of electronic communications devices; analyzing the user input to identify whether the user input contains a reserved word for triggering a search; submitting a search query received in association with the reserved word to a search engine, if the user input contains a reserved word; receiving one or more search results from the search engine; and providing, in the electronic communication channel for incorporation into the texting conversation, at least one of the one or more search results.

In-conversation search

A system receives an indication of a document selected from a corpus of documents and determines a telephone number associated with the selected document. The system facilitates a voice call to the telephone number.

Call connection via document browsing

A method of providing information responsive to a request from a wireless communication device involves receiving an information request from a mobile device and generating responsive information for the information request, transmitting a first portion of the responsive information to the mobile device in a first communication session, and transmitting a second portion of the responsive information to the mobile device in a second, overloaded communication session.

Overloaded communication session

Systems and techniques, including computer software, for retrieving information to a mobile device involve installing a data retrieval application on the mobile device. The data retrieval application includes instructions for presenting a structured data display on the mobile device, defining a structure of the structured data display, requesting selected hyperlinks included in the structured data display, and rendering markup language information received in response to the selected hyperlinks. A user request to retrieve data through the data retrieval application is received, and data is retrieved in response to the received user request. The retrieved data is displayed according to the structure of the structured data display, and a user can select a hyperlink in the displayed data to retrieve and render markup language information using the data retrieval application.

Customized data retrieval applications for mobile devices providing interpretation of markup language data

Systems and techniques for producing graphical user interfaces on handheld mobile devices include generating a markup language code defining a graphical user interface component for display on the handheld mobile device and rendering the generated markup language code to produce the graphical user interface component. In some cases, the graphical user interface component includes at least one adaptable attribute based on a selection made by a user. In other cases, a graphical user interface component is generated using static markup language code or a combination of static and dynamically generated markup language code. Graphical user interface components defined by markup language codes can be displayed in an overall graphical user interface along with components that are native to the device and/or that are defined by an application development platform.

Generating customized graphical user interfaces for mobile processing devices

A computer-implemented method may include receiving, over a network, an image from an image capture device, determining an image adjustment to the image, and communicating, over the network, the image adjustment to the image capture device.

Systems and methods for providing image feedback

Systems and processes for data presentation may be implemented with a variety of operations and techniques. In particular aspects, a system and process for data presentation may include the ability to receive a data request at a data distribution device and determine data responsive to the data request, the responsive data including textual data. The system and process may also include the ability to modify the textual responsive data based on a user interface for visually presenting the textual responsive data and generate a data response including the modified textual responsive data.

Display-content alteration for user interface devices

A computer-implemented method may include presenting to a user one or more images, receiving a rotational reorientation of the one or more images by the user, and providing access to a computing service based on a comparison of the orientations of the one or more images after reorientation by the user to a standard for each image.

Access using image-based manipulation

In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems and program products. A computing device receives user input that submits a search query. The computing device provides, by way of a search engine server system, the search query. The computing device receives, from the search engine server system, information that identifies search results that the search engine server system has determined are responsive to the search query. The computing device presents, in a first view of a search results page that is provided on a screen of the computing device in response to receiving the information identifying the search results, a portion of the search results page that includes a list of the search results, the search results page having been pre-scrolled to the portion of the search results page.

Pre-scrolling a search results page

Systems and methods for socially-based correction of tilted images. In an embodiment, the present invention levels tilted images by (1) receiving an image; (2) rotating the image by a random angle; (3) requesting at least one user rotate the image to level the image; (4) determining a collective user-suggested angle based on the rotations of each user; and (5) transmitting, over a communication network, a correction angle, where the correction angle is based on the random angle and the collective user-suggested angle.

Systems and methods for socially-based correction of tilted images

A system and method is provided wherein, in one aspect, a number of different elements are presented to a user. The user is instructed to pick the elements that are the most related to one another. If the user selects the two most related elements, the user is presented with access to additional information, such as a screen for creating an email account. The system and method are intended to allow access to information by humans, but not remote computers emulating a human.
