  • Patent number: 10986161
    Abstract: Techniques are provided that allow users to collaborate in relationship to data views, application displays, applications or events. A user can type in a text view related to a specific view in an application display, and the information is shared with other users that take part in sharing that view. A user that expresses an interest in an event is notified about the event and has the capability to interact, in relation to the event, with other users (e.g. by text). The particular form of interaction (and sharing) can be selectively specified. This interaction is comparable to a dynamic bulletin board where the subject is event driven. In the case of an event interest(s), users specify their interest (e.g. in other user application events or system events) and the system automatically alerts them to the occurrence of the event.

  • Patent number: 10963043
    Abstract: A device may receive human-related data associated with a surveyor and a surveyed person participating in an interview, and may receive environmental data. The device may determine, based on rules, that first portions of the human-related data and environmental data are more reliable than second portions, and may process the first portions of the human-related data and the environmental data, with a first model, to determine high-reliability context data. The device may process the second portions of the human-related data and the environmental data, with a second model, to determine low-reliability context data, and may process the high-reliability context data and the low-reliability context data, with a third model, to generate weighted context data. The device may process the weighted context data, with a fourth model, to calculate a total stress factor, and may perform actions based on the total stress factor.

  • Patent number: 10838581
    Abstract: Electronic equipment is controlled with a touching-type signal input device. An inputted navigator-calling request that specifies a user request to navigate among a set of previously-opened application views of different applications is received. A request mode of the inputted navigator-calling request is compared with a predefined request mode associated with navigation among the set of previously-opened application views of the different applications. It is determined whether the request mode of the inputted navigator-calling request matches with the predefined request mode. An open-views navigator is displayed in response to determining there is a match. The open-views navigator has a set of open-views tabs distributed on at least part of a closed structure that each allow selective navigation to a previously-opened application view of one of the different applications.

  • Patent number: 10817126
    Abstract: A 3D document editing system and graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a virtual reality and/or augmented reality device and an input device (e.g., keyboard) that implements sensing technology for detecting gestures by a user. Using the system, portions of a document can be placed at or moved to various Z-depths in a 3D virtual space provided by the VR device to provide 3D effects in the document. The sensing technology may allow the user to make gestures while entering text via a keypad, thus allowing the user to specify 3D effects in the document while typing. The system may also monitor entries made using the keypad, apply rules to the entries to detect particular types of entries such as URLs, and automatically shift the detected types of entries forward or backward on the Z axis relative to the rest of the content in the document.
