  • Patent number: 11176221
    Abstract: An architecture for generating accessible documents uses a Data/Layout Description Language (D/LDL) and data sources. The D/LDL and the data source are fed to a pre-processing module which generates an intermediate document containing all the data and positioning hints and structural information required to create the accessible file. The intermediate file is converted into an object model using a Model Builder and is passed to a Model Formatter to calculate the exact positioning of elements. The object model is then passed to a Standard formatter to ensure compliance with required standards and is then passed to a model writer which translates the object to an accessible file in the required format. The design allows for skipping the preprocessing module if the full file is available and allows to plug different model writers for different formats.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for developing an application on a development device. The application is built on a development device, then installed and run on a test device. Installation includes installing an event tap to intercept events generated by a user interacting with the application. In response to a call from the event tap, a test manager daemon snapshots the user interface elements of the application and packages the snapshot and event for transmission to the development device. A development environment on the development device receives the package, then generates and displays optimized source code in response to the received events and snapshots. Generated source code can be optimized to minimize a number identifiers, minimize a length of identifiers, minimize a generated number of lines of code, or optimize the generated source code for readability.

  • Patent number: 10824691
    Abstract: This application relates to a page rendering method, applied to a terminal. The terminal obtains an updated current node tree, searches the current node tree for a current subtree set, and obtains an identifier corresponding to the current subtree set. The terminal then determines whether the identifier is the same as an identifier of an original subtree set of an original node tree, and reserves an original view node corresponding to the original subtree set on a current page if the identifiers are the same; or generates an updated view node corresponding to the current subtree set if the two identifiers are not the same. Finally the terminal generates an updated page through rendering according to the original view node and the updated view node, and displays the updated page on a graphical user interface of the terminal.

  • Patent number: 10762390
    Abstract: Machine-learning models and behavior can be visualized. For example, a machine-learning model can be taught using a teaching dataset. A test input can then be provided to the machine-learning model to determine a baseline confidence-score of the machine-learning model. Next, weights for elements in the teaching dataset can be determined. An analysis dataset can be generated that includes a subset of the elements that have corresponding weights above a predefined threshold. For each overlapping element in both the analysis dataset and the test input, (i) a modified version of the test input can be generated that excludes the overlapping element, and (ii) the modified version of the test input can be provided to the machine-learning model to determine an effect of the overlapping element on the baseline confidence-score. A graphical user interface can be generated that visually depicts the test input and various elements' effects on the baseline confidence-score.

  • Patent number: RE48596
    Abstract: An interface engine provides animated views in a user interface. The interface engine directs the operation of a rendering environment to create an interface in a rendering area. The interface engine includes views, layouts, animators, and constraints. Views identify child views and resources for display in the rendering area. In response to events, such as user inputs, a view modifies itself by calling layouts, animators, and constraints. A layout manages the attributes of a view's child views, including child view position and size. An animator modifies the view's appearance over a specified period of time. A constraint imposes limits on view properties. In one implementation, an Internet site delivers an interface engine to a browser to supply content and a user interface. A presentation server compiles an interface engine description and specified resources into an interface engine.
