  • Patent number: 10235280
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for automated script creation and source code generation for testing mobile devices. A server computing device generates a test script user interface for creating test scripts. The test script user interface comprises a first section for displaying a first plurality of test steps, a second section for displaying one or more properties of a programmatic method, a third section for displaying source code of the programmatic method, and a fourth section for displaying a screen representation of a mobile device application under test. The server computing device generates the first plurality of test steps in an ordered sequence, and automatically generates source code of the programmatic method for each of the first plurality of test steps. The server computing device creates a test script using the automatically-generated source code and executes the test script against a mobile device application on a mobile device.

  • Patent number: 5952599
    Abstract: An improved music generation system that facilitates artistic expression by non-musician and musician performers in both individual and group performance contexts. Mappings are provided between 1) gestures of a performer as indicated by manipulation of a user input device, 2) displayed motion of a graphic object, and 3) global features of a musical segment. The displayed motions and global features are selected so as to reinforce the appearance of causation between the performer's gestures and the produced musical effects and thereby assist the performer in refining his or her musical expression. The displayed motion is isomorphically coherent with the musical segment in order to achieve the appearance of causation. The global features are segment characteristics perceivable to human listeners. Control at the global feature level in combination with isomorphic visual feedback provides advantages to both non-musicians and musicians in producing artistic effect.
