  • Patent number: 11720636
    Abstract: A user selects a data source, and a computer displays a data visualization in a data visualization user interface according to the data source. The data visualization includes visual data marks representing data from the data source. The user selects a subset of the visual data marks. In response, the computer displays a view data window having a summary of the selected data marks. The computer obtains a data model encoding the data source as a tree of logical tables. The computer identifies aggregate measures corresponding to the selected data marks, where each aggregate measure is aggregated from logical tables of the data model. The computer displays each aggregate measure in the view data window. The computer also displays, in the view data window, one or more level of detail calculations referenced in the selected subset of visual data marks.

  • Patent number: 11620029
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for displaying multiple application windows by a mobile terminal, and a mobile terminal, to display multiple application windows on one display screen based on display resource statuses of the application windows. In one implementation, a current placement direction of the mobile terminal is obtained. A window width and height of a first application window in the current placement direction is determined. If the window width is greater than the window height, a landscape display resource of the first application in the current placement direction is loaded when a user interface of the first application is displayed in the first application window. If the window width is less than the window height, a portrait display resource of the first application in the current placement direction is loaded when a user interface of the first application is displayed in the first application window.

  • Patent number: 11579589
    Abstract: A method selectively activates a resource to accommodate an advanced emotion. A supervisor computer receives a first piece of content, and then applies an emotion classifier to the first piece of content in order to create a first concept/emotion/sentiment/time tuple. The supervisor computer creates a second concept/emotion/sentiment/time tuple for a second piece of content, and compares the first and second tuples. If the concept in the first piece of content matches the concept in the second piece of content but that at least one of the emotion, sentiment, and time of the first piece of content does not match the emotion, sentiment, and time of the second piece of content, the supervisor computer determines that the emotion of the second piece of content is an advanced emotion that is not expressed by the first or second pieces of content, and activates a resource that accommodates the advanced emotion.

  • Patent number: 11494555
    Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and system for inferring certain texts as stylized section headings in an electronic document (ED). Stylized section headings are section headings that have unique styling distinct from the body of text below each stylized heading. In particular, the stylized section headings are identified based on styling information in the ED. Identifying stylized section headings includes grouping candidate headings based on identification of dominant styling, locating high level fragments, and repeatedly locating nested fragments from within higher level fragments. The ED may or may not include explicitly identified headings in the document.
