  • Patent number: 11918375
    Abstract: A system, according to various embodiments, includes eyewear (or any other suitable wearable device) that includes at least one environmental pollution monitoring sensor (e.g., at least one light pollution, air pollution, radioactive pollution, thermal pollution, and/or noise pollution sensor) that may be used to monitor the presence of environmental pollution adjacent a wearer of the eyewear. The system may further include one or more health monitoring sensors to determine the health effects of the environmental pollution on the wearer. In certain circumstances, the system may alert the user to potentially harmful environmental conditions, or convey preventative healthcare advice to the wearer.

  • Publication number: 20160210268
    Abstract: We describe methods and systems for managing visual objects within an interactive visual interface controlled by a digital computation device. More specifically, the visual objects include text and are arranged in outline-like hierarchies. In broad terms, this invention makes it easier to interchange content among traditional documents, relational brainstorms, and chat dialogs. To accomplish this, we integrate unique combinations of user interface motifs. Some embodiments involve integrating multi-line text editing into an outlining environment. Some embodiments focus on motifs involving a draggable handle in an outline. Some embodiments focus on multi-panel outlines. Some embodiments focus on creating links that can be traversed in both directions. Some embodiments focus on detecting related or redundant content while the user is brainstorming or composing text. These motifs are integrated in various combinations to create interfaces that are more useful than when implemented in separate applications.
