Abstract: Techniques for better information sharing and control switching in a graphical user interface (GUI) are described. In an example, application windows are added to a dynamic area of a menu based on an execution of a menu application. The menu is presented in the GUI and each window is shown in a glanced state to provide quick information about the corresponding application. When the user focus shifts to a window, that window is presented in a focused state. Upon a user selection of the window, the window is presented in a selected state and includes one or more selectable controls. Based on the window in the selected state, an application module is updated to present an overlay window reproducing the window in the selected state. The overlay window is presented coextensive with and over the window in the selected state.

Abstract: Systems and methods to process many power line-down reports. A number of power line-down reports are received from different devices operated by users that specify the location of its device. Based on locations of devices sending the reports, a related set of power line-down reports is determined that likely report a particular power line-down condition. Based on those locations and power line location information, a location of the particular power line-down condition is determined that is a location of a power line that is closest to all locations in the related reports. Based on the related set of reports, a consolidated power line-down report is created with data associated with the particular power line-down condition. The consolidated power line-down report is reported to a power grid trouble report system.

Abstract: A method of analyzing graphical user interface (GUI) objects. The method can include dynamically scanning attributes assigned to various GUI objects assigned to a view of a GUI in order to identify attributes associated with each of the GUI objects. For each of the GUI objects, a list of attributes can be generated. A determination can be made as to whether at least one of the GUI objects has a list of attributes that does not correspond to lists of attributes for other GUI objects. When at least one GUI object has a list of attributes that does not correspond to lists of attributes for other GUI objects, an identifier can be output. The identifier can indicate that the GUI object has the list of attributes that does not correspond to the lists of attributes for the other GUI objects.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method may be used for semantic navigation of content. The method may include determining a first content complexity level for a user, and presenting a first content to a user device operated by the user. The first content may be presented at the first content complexity level of the user. Additionally, the method may include receiving a navigation command from the user on a portion of the first content via the user device; and determining a second content at a second content complexity level based on the navigation command. The second content may convey the same information as the first content. Additionally, the method may include replacing the first content with the second content on the user device. The second content may be presented at the second content complexity level, and the second content complexity level may be different than the first content complexity level.

Abstract: In response to a user identity request, a system can receive user identity data associated with the user identity from a first mobile device. Based on the user identity data, the system can allocate an interface template to the user identity, wherein the interface template comprises scorecard data, from a second mobile device, associated with a scoring parameter related to an input field of the interface template. Furthermore, the system can prompt an input, via the first mobile device, to the input field of the interface template. Additionally, in response to receiving input data associated with the input, the system can compare the input data to the scoring parameter.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a browser in a client device that receives a user interface script-code snippet from a web page. A chain logic engine determines whether an in-memory map indicates an output value of prior execution of the UI script-code snippet. If the in-memory map does indicate the output value, it is returned from the in-memory map to generate the user interface. If not, the engine determines whether an in-local storage map indicates the prior executed snippet output. If the in-local storage map indicates the prior executed snippet output, it is returned from the in-local storage map to generate the user interface, and it is stored in the in-memory map. If not, the UI script-code snippet is executed to generate the output value, which is used to generate the user interface, and is stored in the in-memory map and in the in-local storage map.
