The systems and techniques disclosed herein provide the ability to present, via a user interface, an indication of a geographic location to a user, determining that the geographic location corresponds to an address included in contact information for one of several contacts of the user, the contact information further including a name; receive, via the user interface, an indication that the geographic location is to be associated with the name included in the contact information; generate a location label for the geographic location, using the name included in the contact information; and outputting an indication of the location label.

Labeling locations based on contact information

Computer-implemented methods for generating and executing user-based standing queries are provided. In one aspect, a method includes determining whether to generate a notification based on a user-based query and geographical context. The method also includes filtering the notification through explicit or inferred filter criteria. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Automatic user-based query generation and execution

The systems and techniques disclosed herein provide the ability to determine locations visited by a user and associate relevant location labels with the locations visited based on contact information. In some examples, a location label can be applied based on a match between a location visited and information stored in a user's contact list. In other examples, a user can efficiently designate a contact and location label to be associated with a location visited. In still other examples, if a location visited by a user is not listed in the user's contact list, but is otherwise known to the system, the location visited can be appropriately labeled and the corresponding contact in the user's contact list can be updated to include the location visited.

Labeling visited locations based on contact information

The present invention enables a three-pane page flow editor optimized for viewing and editing a page flow. It provides a visual representation of nodes/actions and the connections among them, enabling the ability to read and edit connections between nodes in a local area of the page flow without the overlaps between lines and crossovers once the page flow grows complex in real applications. In addition, it detects and resolves mismatches between annotations of a plurality of action outputs&#x2014;representing data that an action can provide to a page, and a plurality of page inputs&#x2014;representing data required by a page in the page flow. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.

System and method for action output/page input mismatch detection and resolution

Techniques are disclosed herein that generally involve storing a historical record of a user's maps searches (a maps history), and providing a user with relevant information about elements in their maps history based on the location of a mobile device associated with the user. Such elements can include generic queries, specific queries, direction queries, click entries, places, and so forth. In some examples, the mobile device's location is provided to a server, which in turn processes the user's maps history to determine which elements from the maps history may be relevant to the mobile device's current location. Elements that are determined to be of possible relevance, and/or information relating thereto, can then be presented to the user, in many instances decreasing the time and effort required for the user to locate map-based information for which they are searching.

Determining attractions based on location history data

A process for organizing a series of discussion replies is disclosed, including monitoring a discussion thread for a series of single replies, each subsequent reply in the series responding to an immediately preceding reply. Once the system determines the existence of the series of single replies, the series of single replies is arranged into a single horizontally-aligned block, the block being vertically separated from other replies to the discussion comment that are not in the series of single replies. Thus, the horizontal-space used by the discussion thread is minimized and readability of the discussion thread improved.

System and method for concise display of discussion threads

Example techniques and systems include generating cluster information to consolidate multiple locations. In one example, a method includes receiving, at a computing device, a plurality of location identifiers corresponding to a plurality of locations at which a mobile computing device was previously located, defining, by the computing device, a plurality of geographic regions based at least in part on the plurality of location identifiers, wherein each of the plurality of geographic regions defines a physical area in which at least one of the plurality of locations is located, selecting, by the computing device, a subset of the plurality of geographic regions based on respective distances between a current location of the mobile computing device and a respective reference point within each of the geographic regions, and outputting, by the computing device and for display, an indication of the subset of the plurality of geographic regions.

Adaptive clustering of locations

A system and method comprising, sharing information between a plurality of participants in a collaboration; and exposing a set of functions that enable a participant in the plurality of participants to share the information, the set of functions comprising: first functions to facilitate establishing a context in which to interact with the plurality of participants; and second functions to facilitate storing and retrieving values from a shared state, wherein the shared state is accessible within the context.

Systems and methods for collaboration shared state management

An abstract component model can be used to drive an editor by providing an underlying stateful model for component implementation without the need to re-implement details. The abstract component model can represent one or more artifacts, wherein the abstract component model contains a plurality of model objects. A lightweight structure model contains a plurality of structure objects, wherein each structure object is a data structure that represents how the abstract component model should look like at the end of an update cycle. Additionally, a model updater can match one or more structure objects in the lightweight structure model to one or more model objects in the abstract component model, and update each said model object in the one or more structure objects based on said one or more structure objects in a top-down, depth-first fashion.

System and method for creating and updating a data model from disparate events received on arbitrary application threads

An abstract component model can be used to drive an editor by providing an underlying stateful model for component implementation without the need to re-implement details, such as event listening, lifecycle and update management, etc. An implementation needs to provide objects that make up the model, some logic to listen to environmental changes and recognize when an update is needed, and a builder which can generate a lightweight version of the model based on the current 'state of the world.' In addition, abstract component model is operable to support an editor such as page flow.

The present invention enable a three-pane page flow editor optimized for viewing and editing a page flow. It centers around a selected focal node in the page flow, shows details and allows editing in the vicinity of the node. It provides a visual representation of nodes and the connections among them, enabling the ability to read and edit connections between nodes in a local area of the page flow without the overlaps between lines and crossovers once the page flow grows complex and cluttered in real applications. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.
