  • Patent number: 11972060
    Abstract: A system that teaches players gestures, for instance during the introduction of the game, and asks the player to invoke the gesture. Rather than asking the player to repeat over and over until the player succeeds, the game looks for commonality in the player's attempts, and after a small number of attempts, the game can learn how that player interprets the gesture given the player's own ability. The game can then adapt itself to look for that pattern to trigger the action.

  • Patent number: 11973664
    Abstract: The disclosure reveals a system and approach for remote health monitoring and diagnostics of room controllers, networks and devices. A master room controller may be used to open a system health page or a diagnostic page for other controllers. A system health page may provide an overview of virtually all of the other room controllers. A tool of the present system may be used to trouble shoot issues remotely at another room controller in lieu of doing a visit to the respective room controller. A user may navigate from the system health page to virtually any place on the room controller to diagnose issues. The navigation may be done by hyper linking from the system health page. The healthy controllers may be hidden from the page so that the unhealthy systems can be viewed in one shot.

  • Patent number: 11887505
    Abstract: Techniques are described for implementing a system that deploys and monitors training simulations and exercises across a network, and that enables the development and execution of virtual training. An example system outputs, for display in a web browser of a trainee computing system, a graphical user interface that includes one or more training exercises, and initiates execution of software agent(s) associated with skill(s) to be demonstrated by a trainee. The example system outputs, at the trainee computing system, content corresponding to scene(s) of an at least partially virtual environment for a training exercise, where the content is rendered for display at least in the web browser of the trainee computing system. After receiving interaction data collected by the software agent(s) during the training exercise, the example system determines, based on the interaction data, that the skill(s) associated with the training exercise have been demonstrated.

  • Patent number: 11836327
    Abstract: An application window divider control is shared by a first application window and a second application window in a user interface. Based on a received directional instruction that moves the application window divider control along an axis of the user interface, placement of the first application window and the second application window may be positioned across a range of consistently spaced points along an axis of the user interface. Placement adjustment can also impact other application windows in the user interface. The application window divider control may also snap to provide “magnetic” points along the axis when certain conditions are satisfied.
