  • Patent number: 11550465
    Abstract: Reduced-size user interfaces for providing weather information are disclosed. At an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, indications of a location and a temperature at the location may be displayed. In some examples, a user may provide input through a touch on the touch-sensitive display and/or through a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism to display additional weather information, such as weather information for another location, another temperature, another time, and so forth. In some examples, the device may obtain data representing an upcoming activity, determine whether the activity is to begin within a threshold amount of time, and display weather information based on the upcoming activity. In some examples, the device may display an affordance at a position to indicate the time of day for which a weather condition is provided.

  • Patent number: 11507398
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for providing improved rendering of graphical user interfaces for remote applications executing within remote sessions. A remote session client that renders the graphical user interface (GUI) for a remote application is configured to detect certain mouse events that would trigger window move events. In doing so, the remote session client may handle rendering the window GUI locally rather than wait for window move events from the remote application. The remote session client may be further configured to predict using calculated resize patterns how the window content image changes while the remote application's window is being resized.

  • Patent number: 11431591
    Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods for indicating virtual workspace performance on a graphical user interface of a computer system. In one such method, the computer system identifies one or more components of a virtual workspace executed on behalf of a user of the computer system, and analyzes a plurality of performance measurements of the identified one or more components of the virtual workspace. For each of the identified one or more components, the computer system determines an aggregated performance measurement for the component based on the plurality of performance measurements of the component, compares the aggregated performance measurement to a threshold, and selects a graphical indicator from a plurality of predetermined graphical indicators responsive to the comparison. The computer system renders, within a graphical user interface of the computer system, an identifier of the component and the selected graphical indicator.

  • Patent number: 11385760
    Abstract: Augmentable and manipulable modeling of equipment provides a three dimensional, manipulable base model image of an equipment specimen on a display system using optical base model data obtained using a computing system. Base model data collection can be user-controlled to permit changing spatial aspects of the base model image (size, perspective, orientation). User inputs concerning functions, conditions and the like can be transmitted from a model control unit to the computing system via a two-way communication link, generating augmenting data that is combined with the base model data to render augmented three dimensional models. User inputs also can be received directly by the computing system, for example using a display system touchscreen. Augmenting data received by the computing system and/or display system also can be transmitted via the communication link to the model control unit.
