  • Patent number: 10866715
    Abstract: Various aspects and attributes of a single-click list selection user interface are described herein. A user can toggle the list inclusion status of any item by single clicking on the item in a selection pane of the user interface. When the user single-clicks a storage container item, the selection pane navigates to and displays items in the selected storage container. In order to prevent inadvertent selections, the user interface may provide graphical feedback indicating the inclusion status of an item prior to the user single clicking that item, e.g., responsive to mouse hover over that item. The user interface may further include a list pane which displays all items presently included in the list, regardless of each item's original storage container.

  • Patent number: 10846111
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates techniques for coordinating and synchronizing client-facing support services with the activities and responses from one or more technical teams assigned to address a client issue. In certain implementations, this may allow an agent or customer approach to use a single reference identifier (such as a case or matter number) to access information or updates from technical teams that do not typically employ such a number for their own tracking purposes. In this manner, relevant information to a client issue may be accessed from all involved technical teams at the agent level as well as allowing the technical teams themselves to readily see activity by other teams.

  • Patent number: 10754495
    Abstract: In one embodiment, techniques are used to create a customized 3-D menu for controlling an application (e.g., a CAD application) leveraging the application's native storage format to describe the menu's appearance and function. The menu is defined using elements of a model to which commands are associated within the storage format. The elements, upon later display, operate as menu items, whose selection activates the associated command. The application's (e.g., the CAD application's) visualization capabilities may be used to rotate, zoom, or otherwise manipulated the model in in 3-D space to create a desired appearance. A view of the model is then stored within the storage format to defined an initial appearance of the 3-D menu. Upon later display, the view of the 3-D menu is loaded to provide the defined initial appearance.

  • Patent number: 10739983
    Abstract: A server device may be configured to transmit, to a client device, data and program code that instructs the client device to display a graphical user interface using the data. The graphical user interface may include a plurality of parallel lanes that are displayed according to a logical ordering. The parallel lanes may contain handle components for dragging the lanes in a direction substantially perpendicular to the parallel lanes. The selection, dragging, and release of a handle component of a particular parallel lane may cause the graphical user interface to: (i) upon the selection, automatically collapse the parallel lanes, (ii) upon the dragging, slide the particular parallel lane among the set of collapsed parallel lanes, and (iii) upon the release, automatically expand the parallel lanes into a different logical ordering defined by where the particular parallel lane was released.

  • Patent number: 10719191
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provides for changing a user interface for a multi-screen device. The user interface can change based on the movement of a window. The system can receive a user interface event that modifies the display of windows in the user interface. Upon receiving the user interface event, the system determines if a window has been covered or uncovered. If a window has been covered, the window is placed in a sleep state. If a window is uncovered, the window is activated from a sleep state. A sleep state is a window state where an application associated with the window does not receive user interface inputs and/or does not render the window.

  • Patent number: 10664136
    Abstract: A method of selecting items in a graphical user interface displayed on a screen. A selection of at least one item in the graphical user interface is detected, the at least one item being located in a bounded region of the graphical user interface, the bounded region having an abutting region. In the abutting region, a selection deadband representing a distance from a boundary between the bounded region and the abutting region is set, the selection deadband having a thickness determined according to proximity of another boundary of the abutting region. Selection of an item located in the abutting region is disabled until a selector is traversed past the selection deadband and into the abutting region.
