  • Patent number: 11675471
    Abstract: A UI for presenting and reviewing a document is optimized based upon the type of computing device being utilized to present the document. One such UI includes a first pane showing a view of the document under review that is sized and formatted for display on a large-format display device. The first pane can also be utilized to emphasize a portion of the document. The UI also includes a second pane that includes indicators for each of the reviewers of the document. The selection of an indicator will cause a portion of the document being reviewed by the corresponding reviewer to be displayed in the first pane. The UI also includes a third pane that includes a scaled image of the document shown in the first pane. Selection of a portion of the scaled image causes the selected portion of the document to be displayed in the first pane.

  • Patent number: 11107308
    Abstract: Systems and methods for an automated hardware-in-the-loop tester are disclosed and include a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a nontransitory computer-readable medium. The instructions include executing an executable object, which includes identifying a first circuit from at least one circuit based on the executable object. The instructions include, in response to identifying the first circuit, controlling a first signal transmitted from the first circuit to an electronic control unit (ECU). The first signal represents one of (i) a signal transmitted by a vehicle and (ii) a signal received from a communications system. While transmitting the first signal, the instructions include generating a first set of data that indicates operating characteristics of the ECU in response to receiving the first signal. The instructions include generating a report based on the first set of data.

  • Patent number: 9864612
    Abstract: Techniques to customize a user interface for different displays are described. An apparatus such as an electronic device with a processing system may implement a custom user interface system that when executed by a processor is operative to adapt a user interface view of an application for presentation by one or more displays. The custom user interface system may comprise, among other elements, a user interface adaptation component operative to receive as input a user interface view of the application for presentation on a first display and an adaptation parameter, and modify the user interface view for presentation on a second display based on the adaptation parameter. A presentation component is operative to present the customized user interface view on the second display. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 9118612
    Abstract: A state client is configured to allow a user to specify a meeting-specific state, such as that the user is running late for a meeting, checked in to the meeting, or unable to attend the meeting. A state service stores data identifying the user's meeting-specific state. The state service also responds to requests for the state of the user. In one implementation, when such a request is received, the state service determines whether the user is an invitee to the same meeting as the user requesting the state. If not, the state service returns a general-purpose state indicator for the user. If both users are invitees to the same meeting, the state service returns the meeting-specific state indicator, which may then be displayed by a state client.

  • Publication number: 20120150863
    Abstract: Architecture that facilitates the ability to trigger the capture and storing of meeting state (or context) by way of a single user interaction (a “one-click” operation), referred to herein as a bookmark operation, and then to store and access the state for subsequent use. The state is captured relative to a point of reference, such as time, user, keywords, and reference to a document, for example. Thus, all state elements such as meeting activities, participants, and content (e.g., audio, video, images, text, documents, etc.). The bookmark assigned to the state at a particular reference can be selected to rehydrate all the state elements captured and associated with that bookmark (e.g., getting back to the point in the meeting to perceive a relevant portion of a document, part of the meeting video, or other recorded feed), as well as all other allowed state elements.

  • Publication number: 20110125733
    Abstract: Users are enabled to perform tasks such as creating new content, searching for items, communicating with other users through a simplified access interface, at the same time defining a location for the access interface. A user may begin typing at any location on a canvas. The system ranks possible outcomes, suggesting one as the best match, where the user can override that choice upon which the resulting action is displayed at the point the input was initially placed. The user may be provided options to select among available tasks and the tasks may be performed without selecting an application.
