  • Patent number: 10303420
    Abstract: To enable prompt presentation of a user interface that displays documents that other users have accessed or edited, distribution of document activity indicators is performed in a proactive manner such that the document activity indicators are already available at a time when such a user interface is to be presented. Document activity triggers the creation of corresponding document activity identifiers, which are distributed to the workspaces of one or more users in accordance with document activity itself, the type of activity, the user performing the activity, a user who initially created the document, or combinations thereof. When another user utilizes a content creation computer application program, the activity by other users is selectively reflected within the user interface presented by such a content creation computer application program.

  • Patent number: 10228760
    Abstract: A system configured to generate and/or modify three-dimensional scenes comprising animated character(s) based on individual asynchronous motion capture recordings. The system may comprise sensor(s), display(s), and/or processor(s). The system may receive selection of a first character to virtually embody within the virtual space, receive a first request to capture the motion and/or the sound for the first character, and/or record first motion capture information characterizing the motion and/or the sound made by the first user as the first user virtually embodies the first character. The system may receive selection of a second character to virtually embody, receive a second request to capture the motion and/or the sound for the second character, and/or record second motion capture information. The system may generate a compiled virtual reality scene wherein the first character and the second character appear animated within the compiled virtual reality scene contemporaneously.

  • Patent number: 10120534
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for automatically generating a dynamic user interface of inter-related systems management widgets for an application program. In an embodiment, in response to detecting an event, the application program selects a primary widget from multiple widgets to display on the user interface. In response to such selection of the primary widget, the application program queries a data store that is stores tags associated with widgets, using one or more particular tags that are associated with the primary widget. Based on the querying, the application program determines one or more secondary widgets from the multiple widgets that are associated with at least one of the one or more particular tags of the primary widget. For each particular secondary widget among the one or more secondary widgets, the application program determines correlation data that measures correlation of the particular secondary widget to the primary widget.
