Patent number: 10110507Abstract: The present invention relates generally to network quality estimation using HTTP/2 push feature. When network quality estimation is required, a client web application requests a server to enter a probing mode. During the probing mode, the server pushes useful data to the application for the latter to perform the estimation. This avoids wasting bandwidth since the useful data are likely to be used by the application. Furthermore, during the probing mode, the server notifies the application of the push start and the push end of each pushed data. This is one using a web socket established with the application. This makes it possible to overcome the limitations of the application in accessing HTTP/2 features of a client browser. Based on the notifications, the application is able to perform accurate estimations.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2015Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Youenn Fablet, Romain Bellessort, Frédéric Maze

Patent number: 9772700Abstract: A method for generating display data comprises detecting user input via an input interface. A processor is in communication with the input interface to generate display data comprising a display object for display by a display device. The display object is representative of an action that will subsequently be performed by the processor on continuation of the user input. The display data on the display device is output whilst the user input is being detected. Alternatively, the display object is caused to appear on the display device over time as the user input is being performed, wherein the rate at which the display object appears is different to the rate of performance of the user input. A device and executable computer program for performing the steps of the method is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2012Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventor: Martin Chakirov

Patent number: 9730025Abstract: A method includes receiving geo-location data collected over time period. The geo-location data is associated with a monitoring device. The method further includes receiving motion tracking data of the monitoring device. The motion tracking data is collected over time period. The method includes identifying one or more activities. The activities are identified based on inference rules that identify certain activities to have occurred when at least part of the motion tracking data is correlated to the received geo-location data. The method further includes defining a metric for one or more of the identified activities. The metric is associated to a calendar date. The method includes sending the metric to a calendar application with integration instructions. The integration instructions define the calendar date to which the metric will be added.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2014Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: Fitbit, Inc.Inventors: Shelten Gee Jao Yuen, James Park, Hans Christiansen Lee

Patent number: 9716613Abstract: Alerts may be received from an event monitoring system that monitors computing resources of a computer system. Based on an alert ruleset, an alert management module may determine whether to provide notification of the alert. If the alert management module decides to provide notification of the alert, then the alert management module may initiate the creation of an issue ticket corresponding to the alert in an issue tracking system. If the alert management module decides not to provide notification of the alert, then the alert management module may discard the alert.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2015Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Rohit Jain, Vikas Dwivedi

Patent number: 9619132Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a computer-implemented method for use in conjunction with a device with a touch screen display is disclosed. In the method, at least a first portion of an electronic document is displayed at a first magnification. A gesture is detected on or near the touch screen display corresponding to a command to zoom in by a user-specified amount. In response to detecting the gesture, decreasing portions of the electronic document are displayed at increasing magnifications. If, upon detecting termination of the gesture, the magnification exceeds a predefined magnification, a respective portion of the electronic document is displayed at the predefined magnification.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2015Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventor: Bas Ording
