  • Patent number: 11704009
    Abstract: A computing system and method that can be used for a video conferencing system including a graphical user interface having a virtual whiteboard user interface that is responsive to inputs from multiple attendees of a video conference. In particular, the state of an application tool such as a camera, visual note indicator, web link, pen/pencil tool, highlighter tool, or other application tool executing or otherwise represented within the multi-user interaction whiteboard can respond and change in real-time as multiple attendees of the video conference interact with the virtual whiteboard user interface. The systems and methods of the present disclosure allow for a multi-user interaction whiteboard to offer various tools for the video conferencing system to facilitate interactions by multiple attendees within the graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 11543942
    Abstract: A system may provide, via a user interface, information identifying two or more of trending search-related information, trending video-related information, trending image-related information, or trending news-related information. The two or more of the trending search-related information, the trending video-related information, the trending image-related information, or the trending news-related information are visually presented as graphical items. Each graphical item, of the graphical items, is visually identified as corresponding to the trending search-related information, the trending video-related information, the trending image-related information, or the trending news-related information. The user interface presents multiple graphical items simultaneously. The system may further receive information identifying a topic, and provide, based on receiving the information identifying the topic, a subsequent group of graphical items, on the user interface.

  • Patent number: 9916345
    Abstract: Methods and systems for interacting with multiple three-dimensional (3D) object data models are provided. An example method may involve receiving a search query comprising a descriptor for an object that is associated with a given category of objects. The method may involve comparing the descriptor to contents of a three-dimensional (3D) object-data-model database that includes contents associated with the given category of objects. Based on the comparison, the method may involve generating a search query result that comprises 3D object data models that describe the object and associated images that describe the object. The method may also involve arranging the 3D object data models and associated images in the search query result in a manner such that the 3D object data models are moveable inline in the search query result, and providing the search query result.
