A system and method are presented for customizing a software application for a target market. A request to access an application is received, by one or more computer servers, from a user. At least one of a preferred language of the user and a location of the user are determined by the one or more computer servers, and a target market is determined using the at least one of the preferred language of the user and the location of the user. The target market defines a language and a region. The application is rendered by the one or more computer servers by modifying at least one of a user interface of the application and a content of the application using the target market.

Software application customized for target market

A method for providing collaborative interaction between a receiver computing device and a sender computing device is provided. The method includes at the receiver computing device, establishing a local peer-to-peer wireless connection with a sender computing device, receiving from the sender computing device via the local peer-to-peer wireless connection data for a GUI of a remotely executed application program that is executed on the sender computing device, displaying the GUI on a display associated with the receiver computing device, receiving user input from an input device associated with the receiver computing device indicating a user interaction with the GUI, sending the user input to the sender computing device, receiving from the sender computing device data indicating an updated state of the GUI generated by the sender computing device based on the user input, and displaying the updated state of the GUI on the display associated with the receiver computing device.

System and method providing collaborative interaction

A process for enabling objects displayed on a multi-input display device to be grouped together is disclosed that includes defining a target element that enables objects displayed on a multi-input display device to be grouped together through interaction with the target element. Operations are invoked that establish a relationship between a particular displayed object and a position on the target element and that causes transformations applied to the target element also to be applied to the particular displayed object while maintaining the relationship between the particular displayed object and the position on the target element.

Organizational tools on a multi-touch display device

Input signals, received by a primary computer, are emulated to a guest computer. For example, an input redirection component is connected between the primary computer and the guest computer. The primary computer may be communicatively connected to an input device (e.g., a touch display, a keyboard, etc.). The guest computer may not, however, be communicatively connected to the input device, and thus may be unaware of input signals from the input device. Accordingly, the input redirection component may receive, from the primary computer, a message regarding an input signal from the input device. The input redirection component may emulate the input device (e.g., connect to the guest computer as though the input redirection component is the input device), and may provide an emulated input signal, emulating the input signal, to the guest computer (e.g., the input signal, received by the primary computer, may be used to control the guest computer).

Input signal emulation

Techniques to enhance software production are described. An apparatus may include a processor and a memory unit to couple to the processor. The memory unit may store a software build service that when executed by the processor is operative to receive a request to subscribe to the software build service from a software development client, create a virtual software build platform to build a software application, and assign multiple build resources from a resource pool to the virtual software build platform to build the software application, with each of the multiple build resources having one or more assigned affinity relationships for build execution tasks to build the software application. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques to enhance software production

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for input classification for multi-touch systems. In one aspect, a method includes maintaining a history of prior state information related to a touch sensitive display. The method further includes detecting that a previous contact with the touch sensitive display was incorrectly classified. The method further includes updating a classification of the previous contact based on the detection that the previous contact was incorrectly classified. The method further includes rewinding a state of the touch sensitive display to reflect a state that would have resulted had the previous contact been correctly classified based on the history of prior state information and the updated classification of the previous contact.

Input classification for multi-touch systems

Controlling virtual objects displayed on a display device includes controlling display, on a display device, of multiple virtual objects, each of the multiple virtual objects being capable of movement based on a first type of input and being capable of alteration based on a second type of input that is different than the first type of input, the alteration being different from movement. A subset of the multiple virtual objects as candidates for restriction is identified, and based on identifying the subset of virtual objects as candidates for restriction, a responsiveness to the first type of input for the subset of virtual objects is restricted. The first type of input applied to a first virtual object included in the subset of virtual objects and a second virtual object included in the multiple virtual objects is detected, with the second virtual object being excluded from the subset of virtual objects. Based on detecting the first type of input applied to the first virtual object and the second virtual object, movement of the first virtual object is controlled in accordance with the restricted responsiveness to the first type of input, and movement of the second virtual object is controlled without restriction.

Controlling virtual objects

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for input classification for multi-touch systems. In one aspect, a method includes receiving data describing a first region of contact with a touch sensitive display and a second region of contact with the touch sensitive display. The method includes determining at least one characteristic of the first region of contact. The method includes based on the at least one characteristic of the first region of contact, determining that the first region of contact corresponds to intended touch input provided by a user's body part or stylus. The method includes determining at least one characteristic of the second region of contact. The method includes based on the at least one characteristic of the second region of contact, determining that the second region of contact corresponds to incidental touch input provided by a user's resting body part.

Objects displayed on a display component of a multi-touch display device may be assigned to and displayed at various visual layers, with each visual layer corresponding to a different depth relative to a foreground (or background) of the display component of the multi-touch display device. One or more annotations may be generated in response to user interaction with the multi-touch display device, with each annotation being assigned to an appropriate visual layer.

Multi-layer telestration on a multi-touch display device

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for input classification for multi-touch systems. In one aspect, a method includes receiving data describing a first region of contact with a touch sensitive display, a second region of contact with the touch sensitive display, and a third region of contact with the touch sensitive display, the second region of contact being separate from the first region of contact and the third region of contact being separate from the first region of contact and the second region of contact. The method includes classifying the first region of contact as a touch point provided by a user's body part. The method includes classifying the second region of contact as incidental touch input provided by a user's resting body part. The method includes classifying the third region of contact as a stylus input.

Methods and systems for interfacing with multi-input devices employ various techniques for controlling the window framing of images. Such techniques provide control, including moving, sizing, and orientating, of one or more displayed window frames in which one or more images are displayed.
