20220100326 | DYNAMIC USER-DEFINED APPLICATION LEVERAGING LOCAL SERVICE-ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE TO SHARE MOBILE APPLICATION FEATURES - The case is directed to portable or client devices that are adapted to instantiate a client application that is communicably coupled to one or more remote host services. The client application is also adapted to cause a display of a graphical user interface having various regions. A first interface region of the graphical user interface may be associated with a first microfunction installed on the device and a second region may be associated with a second microfunction installed on the device. The various microfunctions may enable the client application to interface with one or more remote host services and may be shared across different client applications. In some cases, multiple microfunctions are used to define a custom, user-defined integrated application. | 2022-03-31 |

The method includes providing, a first client device, playback of a first media content item; and receiving, from the first client device, a second media content item to be associated with the first media content item. The method includes, after receiving the second media content item from the first client device: providing, a second client device, a user interface that includes graphical representations of a plurality of media content items that have been uploaded by other users of the media streaming service as related to the first media content item; receiving, from the second client device, a user selection of a graphical representation of the second media content item; and in response, providing the second media content item concurrently with playback of the first media content item. | 2022-03-31 |
20220100328 | MANAGING NAVIGATION OF MULTIPLE CONTENT FLOWS IN AN ELECTRONIC PUBLICATION - A method and system to maintain, in a data store associated with a device, first content of an electronic publication, second content of the electronic publication, and mapping information enabling navigation between a first navigational structure of the first content and a second navigational structure of the second content. In response to one or more first indications, the first navigational structure of the first content is navigated. The method and system receive, via an access point corresponding to a first location of the first navigational structure, an indication to access the second navigational structure. Using the mapping information, a second location within the second navigational structure is determined in view of the first location of the first navigational structure. The method and system generate, via an interface of the device, a display comprising a portion of the second content corresponding to the second location within the second navigational structure. | 2022-03-31 |
20220100329 | SYSTEM FOR SELECTION AND DISPLAY OF SYNDICATED CONTENT - A computerized system providing a first user interface and a web-browser toolbar-based user interface of navigating syndicated content, comprising a processing circuitry operably connectable to a display device, the processing circuitry being configured to generate and display, on the display device: a) a first user interface of summary item navigation configured to display syndicated summary items that are indicative of a respective content item that is displayable in a web browser, in accordance with at least one shared updatable summary items state, and b) a web browser toolbar-based user interface of summary item navigation configured to display the one or more syndicated summary items in accordance with the at least one shared updatable summary items state, thereby providing a user with a persistent view of syndicated content items during passive monitoring of the content items, navigation of the content items, and viewing of the content items in a web browser. | 2022-03-31 |
20220100330 | MEDIA CONTENT DETECTION AND MANAGEMENT - A method and a system include receiving indication of a user interaction within a pre-determined time period, determining that the user interaction is a contextual triggering event based on a plurality of triggering conditions, identifying a media content item associated with the contextual triggering event, generating a first user interface including a user-selectable element representing a content transmission proposal, in response to detecting a user selection of the user-selectable element, generating a second user interface, the second user interface including the media content item and a plurality of user-selectable entity icons. | 2022-03-31 |
