  • Patent number: 11320975
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media that resize a graphical user interface design layout using automatically-generated semantic-aware resize constraints. In particular, systems described herein can analyze the semantics of graphical user interface design elements (e.g., including size, position, type, etc.) and relative positions of the design elements (e.g., hierarchy, offsets, nesting, etc.). The disclosed systems utilizes a heuristics system to the analyzed semantics to generate a set of automatically-defined semantic-aware resize constraints for each graphical user interface design interface. The disclosed systems additionally present a design resize interface that enables designer to manually select constraints to be applied to the design elements. The disclosed systems can toggle between applying manually-selected and automatic semantic-aware resize constraints for the design elements.

  • Patent number: 11308672
    Abstract: A telepresence communication uses information captured by a first capture device about a first user and information captured by a second capture device about a second user to generate a first avatar corresponding to the first user and a second avatar corresponding to the second user. A scene can be rendered locally or by a remote server in which the first avatar and the second avatar are both rendered in a virtual space. The first avatar is rendered to move based on movements made by the first user as captured by the first capture device, and the second avatar is rendered to move based on movements made by the second user as captured by the second capture device. The avatars may be realistic, based on avatar templates, or some combination thereof. The rendered scene may include virtual interactive objects that the avatars can interact with.

  • Patent number: 11238365
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to a method and system for validating labels of training data. A first group of data records associated with the training data are received, wherein each of the first group of data records includes a vector having at least one feature and a first label. For each of the first group of data records, a second label is determined based on the at least one feature in accordance with a first model. Thereafter, a loss based on the first label associated with the data record and the second label is obtained, and the data record having an incorrect first label is classified when the loss meets a pre-determined criterion. Upon classifying the data records, a sub-group of the first group of data records is generated, wherein each of the data records included in the sub-group has the incorrect first label.

  • Patent number: 11209974
    Abstract: An example of an information processing apparatus causes an object displayed on a display device to move based on a drag operation performed by a user. The information processing apparatus acquires input coordinates of the drag operation performed on the object. The information processing apparatus calculates a change amount of the input coordinates from when the drag operation has been started. The object moves based on the input coordinates during the drag operation. The information processing apparatus causes the object to move while performing a correction to make the object away from the input coordinates so that a distance between the input coordinates and coordinates of the object becomes larger in a case where the change amount is large than in a case where the change amount is small.

  • Patent number: 11190478
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for user interfaces and associated processes in email communication. Incoming email messages that identify a sender and message recipients are rendered with Reply, Reply-All, and Forward command icons that can be activated by a user to create an outgoing email message. When a user so activates one of the command icons, the methods and systems create and render the outgoing email message to include a Send icon that indicates the command activated to create the outgoing email message (e.g., the Send icon alerts the user that the outgoing email message was created responsive to a Reply-All command). The Send icon may also inform the user of input required to activate the Send command (e.g., double click) based on the command that initiated creation of the outgoing email message.

  • Patent number: 11146446
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for enabling a first user to set up an alert that will notify the first user when the first user has caught up to a second user's progress in consuming media. These systems and methods are used to ensure that the first user is informed, while they are consuming media, that they have caught up to the progress of a second user. By providing an alert while the first user is viewing media, the first user does not have to remember the progress of the second user while viewing the media, alleviating the first user from worrying they will pass the progress made by the second user without realizing they have done so.

  • Patent number: 11120408
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for surfacing scheduling conflicts and/or for facilitating appointment scheduling based upon conflict detection. A user may maintain user appointment data comprising user appointments (e.g., calendar entries within a work calendar). Because user activity may not be fully reflected in the appointment data (e.g., no calendar entries for routine grocery shopping, soccer practice, etc.), potential conflicts may exist between user appointments and the true availability of the user. Accordingly, user signals (e.g., email(s), location check-ins, etc. associated with soccer practice) may be evaluated to generate a user inferred behavior pattern that may be used to identify a potential conflict with a user appointment (e.g., where the user consents to the gathering and/or use of such user signals). A warning of the potential conflict may be surfaced to the user (e.g., a Tuesday dinner calendar meeting conflicts with routine soccer practice on Tuesday evenings).

  • Patent number: 11102543
    Abstract: A multi-window user interface (UI) on a control device such as a tablet computer communicates commands to a display controller, which may be implemented by a game console. The controller controls presentation on a large screen display according to the commands. The control device may always present a multi-window UI which the control device can command to have mimicked on the display, with the UI also being configured to cause a single video to be presented whole screen on the display while the multi-window UI remains presented on the control device. The video feeds that populate the multi-window UI are of the same content but of lower resolution than those which are presented on the display. A movable window on the control device can be dragged and dropped to cause a corresponding magnifying focus on the display over the corresponding portion of video in focus on the control device.
