    Abstract: One or more systems and/or methods for providing related content associated with a multi-touch gesture to a user are provided. A multi-touch gesture (e.g., a pinch-in gesture, a pinch-out gesture, etc.) may be received through a user interface of a client device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, television, virtual wall, etc.) associated with a user. The multi-touch gesture may be evaluated to identify an area of interest of the user interface (e.g., a portion of user interface containing content of interest to the user). The area of interest may be evaluated to identify context (e.g., keywords, phrases, associated content, etc.) associated with the area of interest. A search of content may be performed based upon the context to identify related content (e.g., news articles, wide-area network search results, local device search results, etc.) associated with the context. The related content may be provided to the user through the client device.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for facilitating group event planning are disclosed. Event planning preferences associated with two or more users are obtained, where the event planning preferences include a first set of event planning preferences of a first one of the users and a second set of event planning preferences of a second one of the users. The event planning preferences may include inferred user preferences and/or explicit user preferences. Event planning preferences may be inferred from data collected outside of the explicit event planning context. An event recommendation is determined based, at least in part, on the event planning preferences. Information pertaining to the event recommendation is provided to at least one of the users.

    Abstract: Users may interface with user interfaces populated with large sets of data items (e.g., contacts, files, photos, etc.), but may be unable to quickly and/or efficiently find a desired data item. Accordingly, as provided herein, a graphical user interface, populated with a set of data items, may be presented to a user of a client device. Sensor data may be received from a motion sensing component of the client device. The sensor data may indicate a motion of the client device. A motion rate of the motion may be determined. The set of data items may be visually traversed at a scroll rate derived from the motion rate (e.g., a faster motion may increase the scroll rate and a slower motion may decrease the scroll rate). In this way, the user may efficiently scroll through large sets of data items by panning, tilting, twisting, or otherwise moving the client device.

    Abstract translation: 用户可以与填充有大量数据项(例如联系人,文件,照片等)的用户界面进行接口,但可能无法快速和/或有效地找到所需的数据项。 因此,如本文所提供的,可以向客户端设备的用户呈现填充有一组数据项的图形用户界面。 可以从客户端设备的运动感测组件接收传感器数据。 传感器数据可以指示客户端设备的运动。 可以确定运动的运动速率。 可以以从运动速率导出的滚动速率可视地遍历数据项集合(例如,更快的运动可以增加滚动速率,并且较慢的运动可能降低滚动速率)。 以这种方式,用户可以通过平移,倾斜,扭转或以其他方式移动客户端设备来有效地滚动大量数据项。
