  • Patent number: 11354491
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for improving data modeling and translating. The system receives network-related data from external systems, wherein the data is formatted in various modeling languages corresponding to the system or network components from which it is transmitted. The system parses and extracts the network-related data for identifying parameters within the data, wherein the parameters correspond to the system or network component's operational status. The system translates the extracted data to a human-readable format for displaying the data to a system user and allowing the user to modify or provide additional parameters. The system generates a new instance of the network-related data including the user-provided parameters, wherein the new instance is translated into a format in accordance with the modeling language of the initially received network-related data.

  • Patent number: 11307746
    Abstract: A method includes displaying an image on a first area of a touch-sensitive electronic display and receiving touch input on a second area of the display, comprising the first area. A gesture type is detected from the touch input by detecting a larger component of motion of the touch input along one of first and second axes of the display than along the other of the axes. Detecting a second gesture type comprises detecting a larger component of motion of the touch input along the other of the axes than along the one of the axes. If the gesture type is the first gesture type, a display characteristic of the image is adjusted, during displaying the image. If the gesture type is the second gesture type, the display ceases to display the image and displays a further image. A computing system is provided.
