  • Patent number: 11494965
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for hand drawing an animation motion path for an object to follow on a graphical user interface (GUI). The motion path may be drawn with a user's finger or drawing device, such as an Apple Pencil®, by selecting a drawing tool (e.g., a freehand tool and/or straight line tool). A new motion path may be added to an existing motion path, such that the new motion path is an extension of the existing motion path. The new motion path may also be added to an end point of an existing motion path, such that the new motion path is a different segment of a motion path and is associated with a new key frame. A motion path segment may be split into additional segments with new key frames, reshaped using editing points, redrawn, and/or deleted from the overall motion path.

  • Patent number: 11487752
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system can optimize offline map data updates. For example, a server device in the system can determine a metric for identifying map data objects based on attributes of the map data objects. The server device can then generate a quadtree that stores the map data objects in nodes of the quadtree based on the metric. When processing an update to the map data stored at the server device, the server device can generate update data describing the updates for each node in the quadtree based on a binary difference algorithm and/or a semantic difference algorithm. The server device can select the algorithm based on which algorithm results in the smallest compressed size of the update data.

  • Patent number: 11461088
    Abstract: Embodiments offer early assessment of upgrade compliance checking upon software landscape production data, prior to actually executing a full impact analysis. In a pre-transport phase, discrete upgrade compliance checks are run and corresponding reports returned to individual developers. In a transport phase, batches of combined compliance checks (bundled into released transports) are run and corresponding reports returned to higher level users. According to certain embodiments, pre-transport and/or transport compliance checking is performed upon landscape production data condensed to a bi-value states. Such condensing can desirably reduce stored data volumes and impart security. According to some embodiments, pre-transport and/or transport compliance checking is performed upon production data merged across multiple landscapes. This avoids storing redundant upgrade check data.

  • Patent number: 11429378
    Abstract: The estimation and visualization of a degree of change between a further edited state of code and a selected version of the code. For each of some counted added or deleted portions (e.g., code lines) of code, the system estimates that the added (or deleted) portion complies with a non-review characteristic. The added (or deleted) code lines that comply with a non-review characteristic are excluded from the estimation of the degree of change. Thus, the estimation excludes consideration of added or deleted portions that need no substantial review, while considering more substantial added or deleted portions in the estimations. The estimation is then visualize giving the developer or the reviewer a better idea of the scale of changes that has really been made since the selected version of the code.

  • Patent number: 11422918
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for a continuous software development and delivery system. Currently, the software development and delivery process is complicated and time consuming. The process requires multiple checkpoints and human intervention to ensure that software updates do not cause errors in the existing software when implemented. Coordination throughout the development process is also problematic as developers may be using varying development environment that are different than the environment used to test and produce the software. The continuous development and delivery system of the present disclosure remedies these issues by providing a consistent development environment throughout the development process. This reduces issues that may arise from use of inconsistent development environments and allows for automation of previously manual portions of the software development and delivery process.
