  • Patent number: 11775324
    Abstract: Automated content switching rules may be generated and/or utilized for automatically switching away from certain interactive content during presentation of that interactive content when one or more switch conditions are met. In some instances, automated content switching rules may define one or more non-temporal switch conditions, e.g., based upon reaching certain points or milestones in certain interactive content, that may be used to initiate actions that switch away from the interactive content. In addition, in some instances, automated content switching rules may be used to not only switch away from particular interactive content, but additionally switch to other interactive content, thereby enabling a user to effectively schedule a workflow across different interactive content, applications and/or other computer-related tasks.

  • Patent number: 11695820
    Abstract: A uniform resource locator (URL) shortener relies on client-side support to embed links to websites into, for example, text messages, emails, tweets, or other forms of microblogging, and that provides additional capabilities. A method may include: recognizing a token indicator; recognizing a token in conjunction with the token indicator; selecting a template corresponding to the token indicator; and executing a process enabled according to the token and the template. Executing an enabled process may include one or more of: generating a URL; generating a URL that is itself a server-based URL shortener, in which the token indicator is substituted for the server-based URL shortener hostname to reduce the character count from that of the server-based URL shortener; displaying information from a destination website of the URL generated from the token and the template; or generating a URL according to a distinctive visual characteristic of the token indicator.

  • Patent number: 11687859
    Abstract: The proper visualization of a business process plays a key role in analyzing, changing, simulating and monitoring the business process. Most BPMS systems today, provide a modeling environment where the business user can define and visualize business processes as BPMN diagrams. Some more advanced systems (such as Savvion Business Manager) enable monitoring of the business process at run-time via a color-coded view of the process diagram. While process diagram is an important view of the process, it lacks the level of abstraction needed to provide information in an optimal way to the business users. The proposed visualization, called the 360 degree view provides an optimal view of a business process without losing important details about the process.
