Patent number: 9933925Abstract: An electronic layout manager system for displaying a plurality of visual elements in different sections of a screen of an electronic device or of a screen image projected by an electronic device, said sections being in the form of assembled square or rectangular tiles of various sizes that in combination fill a square or rectangular screen surface area, the system comprising a layout manager program module configured to define the size and position of each of the tiles as a function of constraints stored in a memory of the system or calculated by an algorithm of the program module, the program module configured to recursively subdivide said screen surface area by horizontal and vertical partitions (H, V) to create a binary space partitioning (BSP) layout containing horizontal and vertical partitions representable by a logical binary tree where each node of the tree represents a partition and each leaf of the tree represents a tile, whereby each addition of a tile comprises either adding a vertical partition (Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2015Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: NEXTHINK SAInventor: Patrick Hertzog

Publication number: 20130067367Abstract: Visualizing and exploring a music library using metadata, such as genre, sub-genre, artist, and year, is provided. Geometric shapes, such as disks or rectangles, may be divided into sectors representing genre and each sector may be further divided into sub-sectors representing artists associated with each genre. The sector's relative size generally reflects the importance of the corresponding genre within the library. Likewise, the sub-sector's relative size generally reflects the importance of the corresponding artist within the genre which may be determined by the number of media items of the artist. Marks representing each media item may be arranged and displayed within the geometric shape to reflect the mark's corresponding genre, artist, and year. In addition, each mark may reflect an attribute, such as playcount, of the media item and each sector may reflect the mean value of an attribute of all media items within the sector.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2012Publication date: March 14, 2013Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Marc Torrens, Patrick Hertzog, Josep-Lluis Arcos

Patent number: 7930752Abstract: A method for the detection of anomalous behaviors in a computer network, comprising the steps of: collecting data relating to connections in a plurality of nodes in a network, sending the data from said nodes to an ADS platform, computing from said data at least one value representative of the anomaly level of the connections of each said node and/or of applications initiating said connections and/or of users, computing a multidimensional chart for visualizing the behavior of a plurality of nodes, applications and/or users in said network, wherein said value representative of the anomaly level is used as a dimension in said chart.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2006Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: Nexthink S.A.Inventors: Patrick Hertzog, Pedro Bados Aguilar
