Abstract:
Content items such as web pages can be updated through a client-driven process when the client detects that a target location reference in a source content item has been redirected to another (destination) location reference. Based on a target location reference in a source content item, a client can request a target content item from a target server and can receive a redirected destination target location reference. The client can update local information based on the redirection and/or report the redirect event to a source server that provided the source content item to the client. The source server can update the source content item based on the client's report.
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed relating to sharing a user credential between computing devices. In some embodiments, a first computing device stores a set of user credentials usable to authenticate a user and receives, from a second computing device, a request for a user credential to be provided responsive to an authentication prompt associated with the second computing device. In such an embodiment, the request includes an indication of a service for which the authentication prompt is being presented. Based on the indication, the first computing device determines whether the stored set of user credentials includes a user credential relevant to the authentication prompt and presents a selection prompt asking a user of the first computing device to select a one of the stored set of user credentials to provide to the second computing device for authentication to the service, the relevant user credential being identified in the selection prompt.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods and systems that allows a user, when entering a string of input characters, to remove multiples input characters at one time back to where a typographical error occurs in the string. The method offers improvement over the current character-by-character deletion method where a user hits a deletion key multiple times to remove input characters that include the typographical error.
Abstract:
Described is a system (and method) for automatically populating login credentials for an application such as a third-party application (or app) installed on a device. These applications are often associated with an entity that may operate or control a website, service, or another application. For example, browsers often store login credentials (e.g. username and password) of previously visited websites. Accordingly, the system may retrieve applicable login credentials for the application in response to verifying the application is authorized to be associated with the website associated with the retrieved password. Accordingly, the system may provide a convenient and safe mechanism to retrieve applicable login credentials even in instances where a developer of the application has not provided an explicit capability of such a feature.
Abstract:
A method includes displaying, via a display device, first content with respect to which a first plurality of editing operations have been performed. The method further includes while displaying the first content, detecting, on the touch-sensitive surface, a first multi-finger gesture. The method further includes in response to detecting the first multi-finger gesture: in accordance with a determination that the first multi-finger gesture includes more than a first predetermined amount of movement in a first direction, undoing one of the first plurality of editing operations; and in accordance with a determination that the first multi-finger gesture includes more than a first predetermined amount of movement in a second direction that is different from the first direction, redoing one of the first plurality of editing operations.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method for mirrored control between devices performed at a first electronic device including one or more processors, memory, and a touch-sensitive display. The method includes: sending an item from a first instant messenger application running on the first electronic device to a second instant messenger application running on a second electronic device; displaying the item in the first instant messenger application, wherein the item is concurrently displayed in the second instant messenger application; receiving information corresponding to an interaction with the item; and in response to receiving information corresponding to the interaction, updating the item on the first electronic device, wherein the update to the item is mirrored on the second electronic device.
Abstract:
An electronic device displays a user interface of a first third-party application that runs within an operating system. The device detects an input on a touch-sensitive surface at a location that corresponds to a first portion of the user interface of the first third-party application. If the input meets first gesture recognition criteria and the input meets first intensity criteria specified by the first third-party application, the device performs the first operation associated with the first portion of the user interface of the first third-party application. If the input meets the first gesture recognition criteria but does not meet the first intensity criteria specified by the first third-party application, the device forgoes performance of the first operation associated with the first portion of the user interface of the first third-party application.

Abstract:
An electronic device with a touch-sensitive display and one or more sensors displays an application interface on the display, detects an input that corresponds to a command to display a virtual keyboard in the application interface, detects one or more sensor inputs from the one or more sensors, and in response to detecting the input that corresponds to the command to display the virtual keyboard: in accordance with a determination that the sensor inputs satisfy one or more first criteria, displays the virtual keyboard as a split keyboard on the display; and in accordance with a determination that the sensor inputs satisfy one or more second criteria, distinct from the first criteria, displays the virtual keyboard as an unsplit keyboard on the display.
