  • Patent number: 11068125
    Abstract: On a computing device, an overview mode is provided to present overview windows of all applications currently running on the computing device. When one or more applications are running in a windowed mode, a first overview window is generated for each of the one or more applications running in the windowed mode; when one or more applications are running in a full-screen mode, a second overview window is generated for each of the one or more applications running in the full-screen mode. The one or more first overview windows in the first space can be arranged in one or more rows in a first overview space, and the one or more second overview windows in the second space in a stack in a second overview space. The arranged overview windows may then be displayed in the overview mode of the computing device.

  • Patent number: 11055631
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically generating a set of meta-parameters used to train invariant-based anomaly detectors are provided. Data is transformed into a first set of time series data and a second set of time series data. A fitness threshold search is performed on the first set of time series data to automatically generate a fitness threshold, and a time resolution search is performed on the set of second time series data to automatically generate a time resolution. A set of meta-parameters including the fitness threshold and the time resolution are sent to one or more user devices across a network to govern the training of an invariant-based anomaly detector.

  • Patent number: 11036802
    Abstract: A system is disclosed, comprising data storage and one or more computing devices. The data storage stores a plurality of records, each record comprising a plurality of values, each value being associated with an attribute from a plurality of attributes, and each record representing a classification rule that is satisfied if and only if each value of the plurality of values is matched by a value in a candidate query. The computing devices comprise one or more processors and non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause processors to: provide a graphical user interface (GUI) to enable setting a first ordering of the plurality of attributes, receive a candidate query; and based on the ordering of the plurality of attributes, automatically determine and output a best match among a set of all classification rules that are satisfied by the candidate query.
