  • Patent number: 10410425
    Abstract: The position of a virtual object in a scene, such as a scene of augmented reality (AR) content to be rendered, can be adjusted at least in part using pressure input. A user can apply varying amounts of pressure to a pressure sensor, for example, to control a distance between the virtual object and a virtual camera rendering a current view of the scene. An increase in pressure can increase the distance, or cause the object to move “away” from the user, while a decrease in pressure can decrease that distance, causing the virtual object to move “toward” the user. An acceleration function can be used to control the movement, to provide more accurate and user-friendly position control. Smoothing can be applied to the pressure data to reduce the presence of noise or jitter in the data. Other inputs can be used to control lateral movements or rotations.

  • Patent number: 10341810
    Abstract: In an IMS communications infrastructure, RCS communications may be received from originating devices and forwarded to receiving devices. Specifically, RCS provides for geolocation messages to allow an originating user to send his or her location to a receiving user. In certain cases, however, the receiving user may have a device that does not support RCS. In this case, the IMS infrastructure extracts location coordinates from the XML content of the RCS geolocation message and uses them to construct an HTML hyperlink to an online mapping service. The hyperlink is then sent as part of an SMS or MMS message to the legacy device of the receiving user. Upon selecting the hyperlink, the receiving user is taken to a web page or other resource that shows a map of the location indicated by the RCS geolocation message.

  • Patent number: 10228850
    Abstract: A preview window generator can be configured to sense a presence of navigation input applied to a resource reference (e.g., an icon, file path, etc.) displayed in an application window. The resource reference displayed in the application window can represent a resource such as stored content (e.g., a file, folder, etc.). While sensing input such as presence of a pointer in a vicinity of the resource reference in the application window, the preview window generator displays a context view (e.g., a file system view) including a representation of the stored content. Accordingly, a user can view the stored content in a relevant context view such as a storage context indicating where the content is stored in a file system without having to launch a separate windows explorer application. The preview window can be configured to receive input, enabling a viewer to modify a particular context view.

  • Patent number: 10134095
    Abstract: A method and system connects brands, users and communities via socially shared content elements that take the form of, for example, words, pictures/images, videos and/or audio objects. The method creates a social media engagement and distribution capability of dynamic, interactive impressions linking users to users and users to brands around shared “day in the life” moments. The spectrum of reach and range of content types combined with user daily lives creates a ubiquitous new web medium of social content. The user experience created by this method and system creates a sustainable stickiness for members, capturing, creating, sharing and responding to each other interactively in any communication format, at any time, in any place and for any reason.

  • Patent number: 10091837
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for managing information in a mobile terminal are provided. The method includes selecting a first object to be linked, selecting a second object for linking with the first object, and linking the first object with the second object. By linking two objects, a user is better able to determine the context in which one or both object are known, thus improving usability of the information. Moreover, a descriptive tag may be used to link the two objects, thus providing additional information by which to associate one object with another object.

    Abstract: The present invention aims to prevent an oversight in an association between items in a deliverable, and to detect an error in the association early. An item designation unit designates a plurality of items to be included in a generation target deliverable, before generation of the generation target deliverable being a deliverable to be generated. An item association unit associates, before generation of the generation target deliverable, a plurality of high-order items included in a high-order deliverable with the plurality of designated items designated by the item designation unit. The high-order deliverable is a deliverable of a higher stage than a stage to which the generation target deliverable corresponds.

  • Patent number: 9886465
    Abstract: The rendering of hierarchical data having large number of nodes, such as organizational charts, can present challenges based upon the browser technology utilized. Rendering of thousands of nodes can be memory intensive and provide poor performance when rendered in a browser. A method of rendering hierarchical data in a browser is provided. Node data from a datastore associated with human resources management software is retrieved. Each item of node data is associated with an employee of the associated organization. A viewport for the hierarchical data structure is determined based upon the computing device used for viewing the hierarchical data structure. Coordinates for nodes in the hierarchical structure based upon their relative position in the hierarchy and a configuration of the view port can then be determined and rendered.
