  • Patent number: 11893541
    Abstract: Example embodiments are directed to providing a zoomable meeting and collaborative canvas with image pointers. In example embodiments, a video management system establishes a zoomable meeting by communicatively coupling a plurality of user devices. A live audio/video feed is received from one or more users of the plurality of user devices. The system causes display of the zoomable meeting on a display of each of the plurality of user devices by displaying a zoomable canvas that enables movement of one or more image pointers that each show the live audio-video feed of one of the one or more users. The system monitors for an image pointer operation for one of the image pointers, whereby the image pointer operation comprises a navigation command or a zoom command. Based on the image pointer operation, the system causes an update to the zoomable canvas to display performance of the image pointer operation.

  • Patent number: 11842024
    Abstract: Embodiments may be associated with a user interface design for an application. An intelligent user interface platform may collect user experience data associated with a user's interactions with the application over time (e.g., user actions, touchscreen interactions, computer mouse clicks, attention information, context information, etc.). The intelligent user interface platform may then analyze the user experience data (e.g., looking for most visited interface locations, most used actions, infrequently accessed functions, common user mistakes, etc.). The intelligent user interface platform may also automatically create a user interface design adjustment based on the analysis. For example, the user interface design adjustment might be associated with a menu item, a sub-menu item, an application action, an icon location, adding a display element, removing a display element, etc.

  • Patent number: 11727140
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system configured to collect and maintain user data within a first party silo while allowing third party data consumers to use the user data in accordance with explicit input from users. The system provides a user with transparency and control with regard to data use by displaying graphical user interfaces configured to receive input indicating whether the user allows or prevents third party data consumers to use his or her data. The system exposes an API that enables the third party data consumers to submit a data query. The system uses the data query to internally analyze a user data set. User data is included in the user data set in accordance with the input. The system is configured to provide, via the API, a result of the analysis to the third party data consumer that submitted the data query without providing the user data set.
