  • Patent number: 10157039
    Abstract: A method includes: detecting activation, on a device, of a content capturing and presenting (CCP) interface for receiving content that can be inputted via both speech-input and tactile-input; and in response to the activation, automatically enabling both (i) a tactile input mechanism for capturing tactile inputs and (ii) a microphone for capturing audible speech inputs. The method further includes: monitoring for detection of one of (i) a tactile input, which involves use of the tactile input mechanism to input the content and (ii) audible speech, which triggers use of the microphone to input the content; and in response to detecting audible speech: closing the tactile input mechanism; capturing the audible speech via the microphone; and presenting content corresponding to the audible speech within the CCP interface.

  • Patent number: 10146764
    Abstract: A computing device is described that outputs, for display at a presence-sensitive display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys. The computing device determines, based on an initial selection of one or more keys from the plurality of keys, one or more candidate words. The computing device also determines, based on the one or more candidate words, a probability that a particular key will be selected after the initial selection of the one or more keys. Responsive to determining that the probability does not satisfy a probability threshold, the computing device outputs, for display at the presence-sensitive display, an updated graphical keyboard that includes a graphical indication designating an area of the graphical keyboard associated with the particular key as being an additional portion of the graphical keyboard for selecting a character associated with an adjacent key.

  • Patent number: 10146908
    Abstract: A processor receives a selection of an image display mode via a user input device. The image display mode defines a number of medical images for display. The processor configures a surface of a touch panel user input device to define a plurality of fields. Each of the plurality of fields corresponds with a different one of the medical images. The processor receives an input, via the touch panel user input device, which selects one of the plurality of fields of the surface of the touch panel user input device and commands the processor to manipulate a medical image corresponding with the selected one of the plurality of fields. The processor manipulates at least the medical image corresponding with the selected one of the plurality of fields at one or more display devices based at least in part on the input.

  • Patent number: 10089773
    Abstract: Examples are generally directed towards an animated performance dashboard. An animated performance dashboard including a plurality of performance indicators representing a plurality of selected objects is generated. A performance indicator includes a color overlay. The color overlay of a given performance indicator identifies a performance status of at least one object at a given point in time relative to a selected metric and a performance threshold. The animated performance dashboard animates changes in performance status of one or more objects at a plurality of points within a time range by changing a first color overlay of one or more performance indicators identifying a first performance status of one or more objects at a first point in time to a second color overlay identifying a second performance status of the one or more objects at a second point in time within the time range.

  • Patent number: 10083450
    Abstract: A user may perform activities at an automated device having various technical features, such as a display, a printer, a camera, a microphone, a speaker, and other features used to perform activities at the automated device. During performance of an activity, the user may run into an issue and request assistance from an agent having a computing device (e.g., a portable computing device). Additionally or alternatively, the automated device may detect the issue and send a request for assistance to a computing device managing a transaction assistance portal or directly to the agent's computing device. The request may identify the user, the activity, and/or the issue, and the agent and his or her computing device may be used to resolve the issue. The agent's computing device may also be used to facilitate customer relationship management with the user.
