  • Patent number: 11620338
    Abstract: Data on entities and how they are associated with other entities may be aggregated from multiple sources and reconciled. The aggregated data may be presented in a dashboard with a graphical user interface (GUI) that represents entities (e.g., nodes) and associations (e.g., edges) as distinguishable graphical elements that are individually selectable. Different nodes/edges may have distinct graphical representations that correspond with certain characteristics of the nodes/edges. The dashboard may include multiple dynamically-updated panes that may be populated with different information depending on a user's interaction with the GUI and/or depending on information received from various sources. A first entity's connection to or involvement in certain activities may be more readily understood by interactively examining not just the first entity's relationship with a second entity, but also the second entity's relationship with a third entity which is not directly related to the first entity.

  • Patent number: 11402963
    Abstract: A neighboring panel view is leveraged in a digital medium environment. Initially, a view generation system receives a selection of panels of a three-dimensional (3D) assembled representation of an object, such as to apply digital graphics to the 3D assembled representation. The view generation system also receives a selection of an option to display a neighboring panel view, which is a two-dimensional (2D) flattened view local to the selection. In particular, the neighboring panel view displays an arrangement of the selected panels of the object and their neighboring panels. The view generation system arranges the selected panels in this arrangement as those panels are arranged in the 3D assembled representation. The view generation system also arranges the neighboring panels in the neighboring panel view adjacent to the selected panels with which they are adjacent on the object.

  • Patent number: 11334228
    Abstract: Selecting objects in a video stream of a smart phone includes detecting quiescence of frame content in the video stream, detecting objects in a scene corresponding to the frame content, presenting at least one of the objects to a user of the smart phone, and selecting at least one of the objects in a group of objects in response to input by the user. Detecting quiescence of frame content in the video stream may include using motion sensors in the smart phone to determine an amount of movement of the smart phone. Detecting quiescence of frame content in the video stream may include detecting changes in view angles and distances of the smart phone with respect to the scene. Detecting objects in a scene may use heuristics, custom user preferences, and/or specifics of scene layout. At least one of the objects may be a person or a document.

  • Patent number: 11032356
    Abstract: A method and associated system for using a graphical user interface (GUI) to add new members to groups associated with events. A calendar record window, including an updated list of members of a first group of members invited to a first event, is displayed. The updated list consists of a list of initial members of the first group invited to the first event and a new member of the first group. A first record including the initial members is updated to add the new member to the initial members on the first record. In response to updating the first record, a change control window, which provides a user with a capability to add the new member to other groups of members invited to respective other events, is displayed on the GUI simultaneous with displaying the updated calendar record window on the GUI.

  • Patent number: 10956831
    Abstract: In one embodiment, in accordance with the present invention, a method, computer program product, and system for performing actions based on captured interpersonal interactions during a meeting is provided. One or more computer processors capture the interpersonal interactions between people in a physical space during a period of time, using machine learning algorithms to detect the interpersonal interactions and a state of each person based on vision and audio sensors in the physical space. The one or more computer processors analyze and categorize the interactions and state of each person, and tag representations of each person with the respectively analyzed and categorized interactions and states of the respective person over the period of time. The one or more computer processors then take an action based on the analysis.

  • Patent number: 10831337
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a radial menu including a first sequence of selectable options that extends off an edge of the display so that a first portion of the first sequence of selectable options is displayed while a second portion of the first sequence of selectable options is not displayed. The radial menu also includes a first selection region at a first fixed location on the radial menu. While a first option in the first sequence of selectable options is displayed in the first selection region of the radial menu, the electronic device detects an option-selection input associated with the radial menu. Responsive to detecting the option-selection input, the electronic device slides the first sequence of selectable options around the perimeter of the radial menu so that the first option is moved out of the first selection region and a second option is moved into the first selection region.

  • Patent number: 10831331
    Abstract: A computing device and computer automated method for controlling the display of application windows on a computer screen. A background process monitors a user's interaction with applications running on the computing device. The background process logs aspects of the user's interaction with applications, each application being associated with a window. The log is analyzed to detect the presence of a pattern in the user's interaction between any two applications, in particular repeated switching between two applications. If the pattern is detected, then the windows are reconfigured to present one of the windows as a picture-in-picture window within the other window. The automated switching to the picture-in-picture display of the two application windows ensures both windows are visible at the same time without the user having to reconfigure the windows manually.

  • Patent number: 10795547
    Abstract: A browser or browser component queues touch events on a user device while an associated network page is being rendered. The browser may store a detected touch event, a location of the touch event, and/or a vector associated with the touch event in a touch events queue implemented by a data repository. The browser may also visually indicate that the touch event has been registered. Once the network page is at least partially interactive, the browser may retrieve the touch event information from the touch events queue and apply the touch event. Prior to or after applying the touch event, the visual indicator that alerts the user that the touch event was registered may be removed. The browser may then re-render and display the network page after the touch event has been applied.
