Patent number: 10778536Abstract: The present technology pertains to an interactive ring chart user interface for conveying a view of service chains between two logical network objects (physical devices, data centers, applications, services, virtual network functions, etc.). In addition to displaying the service chains, the interactive ring chart can receive user inputs to select a logical network object to view or modify details regarding connections to or from the network object in a detailed view. Additionally, the interactive ring chart can be used to create new service chains between two logical network objects.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2019Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Brian Sarbin, Min Jung Chu

Patent number: 10642459Abstract: A method for an assisted display for command line interfaces is described. In an embodiment, an input region and an output region of a command line interface are displayed. Commands are displayed within the input region as they are received. A history is maintained that stores the output of previous executions. At least a portion of the output maintained by the history is displayed within the output region. The output region is scrolled by adding one or more outputs from the history to the display of the output region and/or removing one or more outputs from the display of the output region. Wherein, scrolling the output region does not cause the display of the input region to become obscured. In another embodiment, an input assistance region is displayed that walks a user through selecting commands supported by the command line interface as well as options and arguments for those commands.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2014Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventor: Brian Sarbin

Patent number: 9244595Abstract: Techniques for sorting and filtering a list in a space-constrained viewing area are described. A filter widget and a list of items are displayed in a view of an electronic display screen. In response to user input selecting the filter widget, and without changing to a different view, a filter category overlay is displayed in the view to provide various selectable filter categories. In response to selection of a filter category, a visual depiction of the selected filter category is displayed in the view. The list of items is filtered according to the selected filter category and displayed in the view without changing to any other view. Subsequently added visual depictions are linearly stacked in the view. Further, a filter modification overlay, which provides selectable filtering attributes, is displayed upon selection of a visual depiction.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2015Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Garrison, Brian Sarbin
