  • Patent number: 11526666
    Abstract: A programmable device such as a smart phone allows a user an opportunity to make final corrections to textual data in a message after the user has instructed the device to send the message, but before transmittal of the message. The opportunity is temporary, to avoid impeding the flow of communication, and the textual data is transmitted unmodified if the opportunity to modify it is not accepted. Modifications made during the opportunity period may be used to adapt an autocorrect functionality of the programmable device.

  • Patent number: 11477249
    Abstract: An identity provider (“IdP”) system maintains a framework of authentication methods and security targets that enables flexible authentication policy authoring and analysis of authentication performed by users of an organization. The IdP system generates authentication method profiles that include authentication factors and attributes, which may be further classified as required or optional. The IdP system also generates security target profiles that indicate security requirements needed to satisfy the corresponding security targets. The IdP system uses the generated profiles to determine relationships between authentication methods and security targets (e.g., a list of authentication methods that satisfy a given security target). Using these relationships, the IdP system may enable users to author policies and analyze how users' authentication behaviors comply with security targets.

  • Patent number: 11320957
    Abstract: A computing system is provided. The computing system includes a head mounted display (HMD) device including a display, a processor configured to execute one or more programs, and associated memory. The processor is configured to display a virtual object at least partially within a field of view of a user on the display, identify a plurality of control points associated with the virtual object, and determine that one or more of the control points associated with the virtual object are further than a predetermined threshold distance from the user. The processor is configured to, based on the determination, invoke a far interaction mode for the virtual object and receive a trigger input from the user. In response to the trigger input in the far interaction mode, the processor is configured to invoke a near interaction mode and display a virtual interaction object within the predetermined threshold distance from the user.

  • Patent number: 11307741
    Abstract: A reader platform system generates a display of a document that is formed based on a tree structure from a structured document template with an idea type attribute and content of a supporting idea type attribute that is based on the idea type attribute. The idea type attribute and the content of the supporting idea type attribute are validated based on taxonomy rules for the structured document template. The reader platform system receives a reader feedback of the document via a feedback user interface of the display. The profile of a reader of the document and the profile of an author of the document are updated based on the reader feedback. The feed of another reader related to the reader of the document is updated based on the updated profile of the reader of the document.

  • Patent number: 11294559
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include techniques for navigating sections with exposable content in a viewing area. A method includes causing display, on a display device, of a view panel including contiguous sections. Each contiguous section includes a heading bar and content. The method further includes causing a portion of a first content of a first section to display on the display device by positioning a first heading bar of the first section at a first distance from a second heading bar of a second section. In response to a selection of the first heading bar, the first heading bar and/or the second heading bar is repositioned a second distance from each other. The second distance is greater than the first distance such that more of the first content is displayed.

  • Patent number: 11188202
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a first user interface including a plurality of application icons in accordance with a first layout in the first user interface. While displaying the first user interface, the device detects a first input corresponding to a request to insert a first user interface object that includes application content into the first user interface. If the first input is directed to a first location corresponding to a first set of application icons: the device moves the first set of application icons from the first location to a respective location, where the first set of application icons cannot be directly activated once they have been moved to the respective location, to create space for the first user interface object that includes application content at the first location, and displays the first user interface object at the first location.

  • Patent number: 11151306
    Abstract: A category is determined to which a portion of a code selected for review by a reviewer belongs. A subset is selected from a set of checklist items. A checklist item in the subset is configured for reviewing a set of categories of code portions including the category of the portion. A context including a characteristic of the reviewer is determined of the review of the portion. A checklist item in a sub-subset of the subset of checklist items is usable in reviewing the code portions under a set of contexts. The context of the review of the portion corresponds to a context in the set of contexts. Using a checklist item from the sub-subset, a checklist is dynamically configured to be specific to the review of the portion, specific to the reviewer, and specific to the review.
