  • Patent number: 11372532
    Abstract: An information technology (IT) and security operations application is described that stores data reflecting customizations that users make to GUIs displaying information about various types of incidents, and further uses such data to generate “popular” interface profiles indicating popular GUI modifications. The analysis of the GUI customizations data is performed using data associated with multiple tenants of the IT and security operations application to develop profiles that may represent a general consensus on a collection and arrangement of interface elements that enable analysts to efficiently respond to certain types of incidents. Users of the IT and security operations application can then optionally apply these popular interface profiles to various GUIs during their use of the application.

  • Patent number: 11372520
    Abstract: A display input apparatus includes a display device, an operation device, and a control device. When, with a first page containing an arrangement of icons being displayed on the display device, the control device detects through the operation device a predetermined first operation of selecting a plurality of icons from the arrangement of icons on the first page and grouping the plurality of selected icons, the control device generates a group icon into which the plurality of icons are consolidated and allows the display device to display the group icon on the first page. When the control device detects through the operation device a predetermined second operation of moving the group icon from the first page to a second page different from the first page, the control device allows the display device to move the group icon to the second page and display the group icon on the second page.

  • Patent number: 11294484
    Abstract: A method for facilitating the validation of an action by a user utilizing a touch screen device having a processor executing software commands includes providing an initial screen via a GUI displaying certain data fields and functional icons of a particular application. On the touch screen an initial active area is designated in association with certain data fields and functional icons. An end user interacts with the touch screen device generating an input signal. The input signal is received from the touch screen active area by the processor requesting an action. Upon receipt of the input signal, a validation active area on the touch screen is visually displayed. The validation active area is monitored for a secondary input signal generated by an end user interacting with the validation active area. The initial active area is monitored for determining an input signal in association with the initial active area is present.
