  • Publication number: 20240056490
    Abstract: Updating user-specific instances of a second application for individual users of a group based on a data file for the second application being shared via a collaboration object that corresponds to the group within a first application. The instances of the second application present each individual user with their own custom user experience that is configured to provide access to specific content based on object permissions data. An application extension is executable, by the first application, to extend content editing functionalities of the second application into the collaboration object. Responsive to specific content being associated with the collaboration object via the application extension, each of the instances of the second application may be automatically updated to provide direct access to the specific content. Thus, each user within the group defined for collaboration object can access the data file via the collaboration object and their own instance of the second application.

  • Patent number: 10863227
    Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying a teleconference session are described. Teleconference data including display streams is transmitted to a number of client computers. Each of the streams may include at least a video and an audio component. A user interface includes a first display area rendering a first stream and a second display area rendering a second stream. An event may occur that removes a video component from the first stream. In response to the event, the rendering of the first stream may be removed from the first display area, and one or more streams of the plurality of streams may be displayed in at least a portion of the first display area. Such techniques for modifying user interface displays based on the actions of select users that have transitioned to an audio-only mode can optimize the use of a display area.

  • Patent number: 10306782
    Abstract: This invention covers a display system which includes modular deployable display units, a stand, a power source, a data input device and a display support. Each unit includes a housing, a spool assembly, a flexible electronic display member, an electrical cable and a connecting system for connecting the units to the stand and for physically connecting the units to one another, in an end to end arrangement. The assembly is mounted within the housing and includes a spool having opposite ends, to which the spool is rotatably mounted. The flexible member includes LEDs for displaying a programmable message. The flexible member has an end coupled to the spool and is displaceable between a wound configuration where the member is wound onto the spool and an unwound configuration where the member is unwound from the spool. A free end of the member is coupled to the support for displaying the message.

  • Publication number: 20180232920
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing contextually aware location selections for teleconference monitor views are presented. A system can be configured to provide different user interfaces with each user interface associated with a category of functionality. For instance, one user interface may provide document editing functionality for editing a document, and another user interface may provide instant messaging functionality. When a user is engaged in a teleconference session, techniques presented herein enable a system to dynamically select a location for rendering of the teleconference session depending on the category of functionality being utilized by the user. A size and display properties of a display are of the teleconference session can also be determined based on a selected category of functionality.

  • Patent number: 9524344
    Abstract: A user interface may be utilized to allow a user to control display properties of online ad content on a hosting webpage (e.g., hosting ads from one domain on a webpage from a different domain). This may be accomplished by creating a cross-domain frame in the hosting webpage, which can contain the ad content. An instantiation of a user interface may be created on the hosting webpage that has an ability to control display properties of the cross-domain frame, thereby controlling display properties of the ad content in the cross-domain frame. Further, a task manager may be utilized as part of the user interface to facilitate a host of the hosting webpage to manage ad content.

  • Publication number: 20120330748
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for communicating advertisement preferences configured by users to a plurality of network domains that serve advertisements are provided. Users input their preferences with respect to advertisement targeting through a common interface and those preferences are communicated to a plurality of network domains in conjunction with requests for advertisements. In this way, users do not have to submit their preferences for advertisement targeting independently for each network domain that serves advertisements and advertisement-serving network domains have a decreased risk of having outdated or incomplete advertisement targeting information.

  • Patent number: 8131591
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide ways to update and permit third-party advertising content of a webpage developed using Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (“AJAX”) techniques. An illustrative method includes registering a set of possible triggering events that can invoke an advertisement-update process, registering advertisement containers (portions of the webpage that can present the advertisements), receiving an indication that a triggering event has occurred, identifying (in some cases) advertisement containers whose advertisement content is to be updated, accessing third-party advertisement data that is stored outside of the domain of the webpage to receive the fresh advertising content, and presenting the fresh advertising content in the one or more advertisement containers.
