  • Patent number: 10936143
    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system dynamically resizes one or more application windows displayed on one or more screens based on an interactive state associated with the one or more application windows. Initially, a processor displays a plurality of different windows associated with one or more corresponding applications and determines an interactive state associated with each of the plurality of different windows. The processor then analyzes the interactive states of each of the plurality of different windows and, in response, adjusts a size of one or more of the plurality of different windows in accordance with the determined interactive states. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for dynamically resizing one or more application windows based on the interactive states associated with the one or more application windows in substantially the same manner described above.

  • Patent number: 10878379
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to processing events generated by Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In particular, it relates to storing a machine-readable declarative specification of stateful event processing of an automated multi-step progression of monitoring of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that generate events. It includes compiling into tangible memory, in response to the declarative specification, a state processing network that implements a multi-step progression of monitoring events generated by the IoT devices. The state processing network implements both the time based transition triggers and the event based transition triggers after being initiated by the IoT devices. Further, data structures, which record monitoring status of particular IoT devices, are compiled. Finally, the state processing network further selects an alternative action to trigger, and triggers the selected action using at least some data from a particular event being processed.

  • Patent number: 10839468
    Abstract: A graphical platform enables users to leverage unstructured data in many different ways via access with many different types of devices that can be located practically anywhere with network connectivity. The graphical platform provides users with flexibility in how they create, maintain, and access the unstructured data, while providing powerful tools to enable the users to quickly extract meaningful information from the unstructured data. The graphical platform leverages location information in the unstructured data to enable providing a map and/or other graphical interfaces that show at least some of the records in the unstructured data. Users can then filter the information to narrow down the records to those of interest to respective different users. From the resulting display of records, users can select a specific record, access additional secure documents associated with the record, and/or perform other interactions with the data in the record.

  • Patent number: 10831347
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for detecting and obscuring references that inadvertently disclose key events according to a user's progress through a media. A computer system ingests data from the media and conceptualizes events from the data. The computer system identifies the key events in the media based on the conceptualized events. The computer system assigns a value to each identified key event. The computer system intakes the data that tracks a progression through the media. The computer system identifies references in related content data that are associated with the key events having values that exceeds a threshold. The computer system obscures the references to the key events displayed in the related content data according to the progression through the media.

  • Patent number: 10802689
    Abstract: Implementations relate to continuation of playback of media content by different devices. In some implementations, a method includes causing a stream of media content data to be received from a stream source and output by a first device to a user, where a portion of the data is buffered on the first device before output. An indication is detected that the user has stopped using the first device for output of the content data. A place marker indicates a portion of the content that is output approximately at the time of the indication. The method causes the stream of content data to be received and output by a second device starting at the place marker portion. The buffered content data is sent from the first device to the second device for output by the second device before unbuffered portions of the content data received from the stream source.

  • Patent number: 10802849
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for modifying a graphical user interface (GUI) according to cognitively forecasted tasks may collect a set of training data for a cognitive task managing model, where the set of training data associated with a user. The cognitive task managing model is then trained with the set of training data. The cognitive task managing model then processes a set of operational data that is associated with a user. In response to receiving a set of processed data, a task forecast is generated for the user. Based on that forecast, an optimal task for the user is determined. A set of graphical elements within the GUI are modified to notify the user of the optimal task.
