  • Patent number: 10564711
    Abstract: An interactive conferencing device enables conference participants to interact remotely through multiple multimedia channels based on the configured capabilities of participants. A system used by the conferencing device consists of a server and one or more client devices. On joining new interactive session, the attributes and capabilities of the participant are determined. Other participants are notified as to the attributes and capabilities of the new participant. The interaction between participants is determined by their attributes and capabilities and that of the participant they wish to interact with. Participants can use a client device to join a session. If the device is capable of rendering a graphical display based on the capability information configured for that participant and device, participants can view multiple views rendered for the session in different regions of a display. The participants may interact with members of the session they select based on their mutual configured capabilities.

  • Patent number: 10209864
    Abstract: An intuitive user interface for clearing or deleting a structured data element is provided. One or more elements in a data structure may be selected and upon selection of a delete option, the contents of the one or more elements may be cleared. One or more animating panels may be provided which contain elements around the cleared elements. A panel may be moved by a gesture-type action to replace cleared elements. The panels may visually indicate which elements may be moved in place of the cleared elements. The user can visualize how elements may be shifted instead of having to understand terminology in a dialog. Selecting outside the panels may cause the panels to disappear, which may be equivalent to a clear action where other elements are not moved into the place of the deleted elements.

  • Patent number: 10088978
    Abstract: A content server system provides a user of a client device with a playlist of content, such as streamed audio. The provided playlist is customized for the particular country of the user, even if the content server system has only recently begun to provide content to that country. To customize the playlist for a country lacking a sufficient amount of country-specific statistical data, the content server system generates a number of non-country-specific channels, each channel recommending content according to its own criteria. The content server system generates a non-content specific playlist by combining the channels. The content server system also generates, using the statistics for the country of the user, a country-specific channel that is specific to that country. The content server system generates a country-specific playlist by combining the non-country-specific playlist with the country-specific channel, e.g., according to the amount of country-specific statistics that are available.
