International Classification:

G06Q 30/02

Abstract:

Edits on a content item, such as a document, are divided into microtasks. The microtasks associated with a document can be automatically identified based on a workflow or can be identified by a user associated with the content item or an administrator. At a later time, the user can complete the microtasks for a content item using an application associated with their smart phone or tablet. The application may present the microtasks in a game-like environment where the user can compete with other users based on metrics such as number of microtasks completed in a day or fastest completion time. In addition, the user can earn rewards such as badges, coupons, or credits by completing microtasks. In this way, users can use time that would have been wasted playing games to complete their content items, while still experiencing some of the fun and competition associated with the games.

Abstract:

A user interface (UI) for visualizing search data provides techniques for grouping and organizing aggregate data that shows the categories of topics included in search queries from a large number of individual users. Raw search queries are categorized into one of a number of topical categories. The search queries are assigned to a geographic location based on geolocations of computing devices generating the search queries. The UI presents a map that shows the number of search queries per topical category for each geographic location displayed in the current UI view. As a result of this UI design, a user can easily understand the interaction between geographic location and frequency of search query topics. Trends in the geographic distribution of searches and in the categories of topics searched are also easily understood from this UI design by changing the time range of the search queries displayed.

Abstract:

The description relates to interactive presentation feedback. One example can associate multiple mobile devices with a presentation. This example can receive feedback relating to the presentation from at least some of the mobile devices and aggregate the feedback into a visualization that is configured to be presented in parallel with the presentation. The example can also generate another visualization for an individual mobile device that generated individual feedback.
