  • Patent number: 10635256
    Abstract: A display device for displaying information relative to a flight by an aircraft is provided. The information includes information relative to an energy variation of the aircraft, the energy variation being expressed by a variable representative of that energy variation. The display device is configured to show, on a viewing screen, an energy variation symbol representative of a current value of the variable. The display device is configured to further show at least one energy variation bound symbol representative of a threshold value of the variable, the threshold value corresponding to an authorized acceleration bound for the aircraft to keep or bring the speed of the aircraft in or toward a predefined usage speed range.

  • Patent number: 10552015
    Abstract: Techniques for improving a user interface (UI) of an artwork application are described. For example, the artwork application presents a digital canvas, an art tool, and a menu. The menu identifies properties of the art tool. The artwork application receives a selection of some or all of the properties and, in response, generates a UI preview element. The UI preview element is configured to present respective values of the properties on the digital canvas. This presentation includes previewing a value of at least one of the selected properties in a one-to-one ratio on the digital canvas. The artwork application presents the UI preview element on the digital canvas, thereby previewing values of the selected properties. The artwork application receives a user interaction with the presented UI preview and the UI preview element adjusts the values of the properties of the art tool based on the user interaction with the UI preview element.

  • Patent number: 10476937
    Abstract: Particular embodiments provide a plurality of image elements arranged in a display layout. When user input selecting one of the image elements is received, a first animation sequence for an information panel associated with the selected image element may be displayed, wherein the information panel swings down from a bottom edge of the selected image element. As the information swings down, the selected image element may also be enlarged until it reaches a pre-determined size with respect to a display of the computing device. In response to receiving user input dismissing the selected image element, another animation sequence may shrink the selected image element while showing the information panel swinging up and eventually disappearing.

  • Patent number: 10459504
    Abstract: An in-vehicle system is described that initiates a telematics service call via a touch-based user interface. The in-vehicle system includes a telematics unit that supports communications relating to telematics services, an infotainment center, and a touchscreen interface configured to present user-selectable controls for invoking services provided by the infotainment center and the telematics unit. The system further comprises a backup battery configured to supply power, during a disruption of power supply from a primary power supply, to: the touchscreen interface, the telematics unit, and a microphone/speaker providing bi-directional audio communications with providers of telematics services. The system furthermore includes a backup battery mode control configured to sense a disruption of power provided by the primary power supply. In response to the disruption, the mode control activates a low-power operating mode for the touchscreen interface.

  • Patent number: 10055541
    Abstract: A system stores visual content, and displays the visual content on a display unit in an undistorted, overview projection. The system receives input from a user to focus on a topic in the undistorted, overview projection, and transforms the undistorted, overview projection into a focused display showing the topic selected by the user and content related to the topic selected by the user in a continuous sequence of increasingly distorted projections. In the focused display, the content that is not related to the topic selected by the user does not move on the focused display, and the content that is related to the topic selected by the user moves towards the topic selected by the user on the focused display.
