  • Patent number: 11960788
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprising an analytic server, which receives a request from a user to participate in a panel or an event in a selected language. The analytic server may determine and select the interpreter for the user to provide real time interpretation services. The analytic server transmits the audio signals in the source language interpreter electronic device. After the interpreter translates the audio signals in source language to the selected target language, the analytic server receives the translated audio signals from the interpreter electronic device. The analytic server then transmits the translated audio signals in the user requested language to the user electronic device. When the user changes to a different target language, the analytic server selects a different interpreter to provide real time translation, and transmits the translated audio signals in a new target language to the user.

  • Patent number: 11893206
    Abstract: A hybrid workstation enables a virtual reality (VR) interface, a traditional (TD) interface, and transitions between the interfaces. The VR interface comprises three-dimensional (3D)-based software and hardware components. The TD interface comprises two-dimensional (2D)-based software and hardware components. The state of the hybrid workstation is defined by three parameters comprising interface (VR interface or TD interface), position (seated or standing), and movement (stationary or room-scale). The hybrid workstation detects a transition from a current state to a next state upon determining that any of the three parameters have changed. The hybrid workstation then determines a transition response based on the particular transition that is detected. The transition response comprises a set of operations that are performed on the VR interface and/or the TD interface that mitigate the disruption and inefficiency caused when the particular transition occurs.

  • Patent number: 11875033
    Abstract: A method for determining a proportion of an area in a computer-generated scene that is visible to a user on a display of a handheld device configured to receive touch-based inputs. A location of the area in the computer-generated scene visible on the display of the handheld device is determined, and a touch-based input to the display of the handheld device is detected. A representation of the one touch-based input detected by the handheld device is generated and an intersection between the representation of the location of the touch-based input on the display of the handheld device, and a representation of the area at the location is determined. The intersection indicates the proportion of the area not visible to the user of the handheld device. An indication representative of the intersection is then transmitted to a remote server.

  • Patent number: 11842026
    Abstract: Disclosed herein a browser that intelligently places a user interface (UI) element on a webpage such that the UI element appears to be integrated and coordinated with the webpage and not merely overlaid on the webpage. The intelligent placement ensures that the UI element neither obstructs the view of pertinent content displayed via the webpage nor interferes with the functionality of the webpage. Moreover, the intelligent placement ensures that the UI element is completely visible to a user. The placement of the UI element is done by the browser after the webpage has been retrieved from a web server. Consequently, the browser lacks the ability to control or alter the layout and appearance of the webpage. The UI element can be a selectable UI element that the browser associates with a function. In one example, the function can be an image-based search.
