Abstract

Providing an interface to request actions of a website includes various elements. For example, website instructions of the website are provided to a search engine, the website instructions describing the website tool. The website instructions may be indexed by the search engine to be referenced when servicing a search query. When the website is deemed relevant to the search query, a search-result snippet may be built to include the interface to the website tool. As such, the interface may be provided in the search-results webpage. The interface may be used in the search-results webpage or may be stored locally. The interface may be used to access the website tool without a browser navigating to a landing page of the website.

Abstract

Virtual controllers for visual displays are described. In one implementation, a camera captures an image of hands against a background. The image is segmented into hand areas and background areas. Various hand and finger gestures isolate parts of the background into independent areas, which are then assigned control parameters for manipulating the visual display. Multiple control parameters can be associated with attributes of multiple independent areas formed by two hands, for advanced control including simultaneous functions of clicking, selecting, executing, horizontal movement, vertical movement, scrolling, dragging, rotational movement, zooming, maximizing, minimizing, executing file functions, and executing menu choices.
