The managing of sensed signals used to sense features of physical entities over time. A computer-navigable graph of sensed features is generated. For each sensed feature, a signal segment that was used to sense that feature is computer-associated with the sensed feature. Later, the graph of sensed features may be navigated to that features. The resulting signal segment(s) may then be access allowing for rendering of the signal evidence that resulted in the sensed feature. Accordingly, the principles described herein allow for sophisticated and organized navigation to sensed features of physical entities in the physical world, and allow for rapid rendering of the signals that evidence that sensed features.

Organization of signal segments supporting sensed features

Examples of the disclosure provide for modifying an application from a mobile device. An instruction to modify an application including one or more documents is received at the mobile device. It is determined at the mobile device whether the received instruction is associated with a first type of modification and/or a second type of modification. In response to determining that the received instruction is associated with the first type of modification, a local instance of the document stored at the mobile device is modified at the mobile device. In response to determining that the received instruction is associated with the second type of modification, a remote instance of the document stored at a server device is modified at the server device. Aspects of the disclosure enable a mobile device to strategically modify an application to facilitate managing local resources.

Creating and modifying applications from a mobile device

The sharing of signal segments using a semantic understanding of what is included within the signal segment. Upon selection of a physical entity (or portion thereof) that is rendered within a signal segment, the system then extracts portion(s) of signal segment(s) in which that selected physical entity appears. A representation of the extracted signal segment portion are then dispatched to recipients. Thus, portions of signal segments may be shared at the granularity of the content of what the signal segment depicts. There is wide flexibility in what representations of those signal segment portion(s) are shared.

Sharing signal segments of physical graph

Routing of communications to group member(s) where group membership is identified by physical status. A computing system detects a communication that identifies targets of the communication at least in part by physical status. The system responds by identifying at least partial membership in a group that is identified by the physical status identified in the communication, and then dispatching the communication to at least one member of the members of that group. The identity of the members of the group may change dynamically as the physical status of particular physical entities changes over time. Accordingly, a user may communicate to individuals based on physical status, rather than identify any particular individual or status group. The communication may be directed to all members of the group. Alternatively, the communication may be initially directed towards a subset of the group, with the communication being conditionally later broadened.

Communication routing based on physical status

An architectural software model in which browser-executable code and non-browser executable code of an application are distributed. The browser-executable code (such as markup language and script) is executed by a browser on perhaps a client machine, whilst the non-browser executable code (such as C# code as an example) is executed on a server or by a service. Such code typically is included within a single desktop application with an interoperability component operating between. The browser-executable code is able to communicate with the non-browser executable code using a request-response protocol. In order to facilitate communication with the non-browser-executable code, the non-browser executable code is provided in an environment that includes a request translator and a response translator. The environment includes an interface which honors the request/response protocol followed by the browser-executable code.

Distributed application based off of stateful desktop application

Examples of the disclosure enable the recalculation of device chaining in a user interface. In some examples, a first element representing a first hardware device is received at a design surface of a computing device user interface. A second element representing a second hardware device is received at the design surface. A selection of an output associated with the first element is received. A function that binds a property of the second element to a property of the output associated with the first element is automatically generated. Aspects of the disclosure enable the automatically generated function to be displayed at the design surface.

Generation of a device application

The tracking of physical entities within a space such that computer-implemented computations (or ambient computing) may be performed on the features and/or activity of physical entities within that physical space. A space-time data structure corresponding to the physical space is set up. For at least one physical entity within that physical space, physical feature(s) of the physical entity is sensed at different instances in time. That sensed feature is stored in an entity data structure that is associated with the space-time data structure. This may be done for multiple physical entities within the location using multiple entity data structures that are each associated with the space-time data structure. A computing system may navigate such a space-time data structure to perform computation on physical entities, physical features and physical activity within that physical space.

Computer-aided tracking of physical entities

Examples of the disclosure enable one or more operations to be executed or implemented while managing computational resources. In some examples, an instruction to implement a first operation is received. The first operation is associated with a first node of a plurality of nodes. The plurality of nodes are arranged in a plurality of regions. A second node of the plurality of nodes that is related to the first node is identified. On condition that the second node is arranged in an active region of the plurality of regions, a second operation associated with the second node is implemented within a period of time. On condition that the second node is not arranged in the active region, the second operation is not implemented within the period of time. Aspects of the disclosure enable a computing device to defer the implementation of an operation to facilitate managing computational resources.

Generating a deferrable data flow

Examples of the disclosure provide a system and method for receiving a component at a design surface, the component representing a user interface element of an application. A selection of the component is received and a selection of at least a portion of a first target component is detected. Based on the selection of the first target component, a first property of the first target component is determined to use in an expression, the expression to be dynamically evaluated at runtime of the component. The expression automatically generated to change a property of the component based on the first property of the first target component.

Generation of application behaviors

Issuance of job tokens performed by an authorization computing entity so that authoring authorizations can be shared with other authors. Each of the job tokens represents an authorization to engage in a particular manner in an authoring session in which a declarative document is being authored. That engagement includes sharing one or more authorizations with other possible author. The declarative document is a computer program in the form of a list of declarative statements made in a declarative programming language. The management occurs by evaluating incoming requests to engage in various ways in an authoring session.

Share token issuance for declarative document authoring

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for using cinematic techniques to present data. Embodiments of the invention can be used to infer and generate cinematic techniques or combinations thereof based on a model and user action. Cinematic techniques can be used to meet the data exploration and analysis requirements of a user. As such, embodiments of the invention permit users (including non-programmers) to employ cinematic techniques (possibly in combination with other techniques) to gain insights into their data and also convey appropriate emotional messages.

Using cinematic techniques to present data

Examples of the disclosure provide for receiving a template at a design surface, the template representing a visual layout, logic, and data schema for an application. Received source data is bound to the template based on the data schema. At least one data storage location is selected from identified data storage locations. Based on the selection of the one data storage location, at least a portion of the source data is extracted and sent to the data storage location for storage. The extracted data is rewired to bind the extracted data at the data storage location to the template such that access of the application generated using the template provides access to the extracted data at the data storage location.
