  • Patent number: 11561950
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a hierarchical tree may include nodes that each indicates an objective, and each non-root node of the nodes indicates an objective supporting an objective of at least one node with which the non-root node has a direct relationship. Based on a modification to an objective of a given node of the tree, a determination of whether at least one child node of the given node indicates an unsatisfiable objective (e.g., no longer suitably supporting the given node's objective). For a child node of the given node determined to indicate an unsatisfiable objective, a corresponding subset of the tree may be replaced with replacement nodes that each indicates a satisfiable objective (e.g., suitably supporting the given node's objective), where the corresponding subset includes (i) the child node and (ii) descendant nodes of the child node.

  • Patent number: 11340761
    Abstract: Embodiments for improved data structuring for computer devices that provides efficient organization and navigation in a user interface in order to increase the amount and type of content that can be presented to a user, particularly with regard to small displays. For example, by emphasizing how data relates to other data (e.g., emphasizing the organizational structure) during navigation as opposed to after navigation, the embodiments provide an intuitive user interface for devices that indicates the relationship between data without the need for additional on-screen objects.
