  • Patent number: 11893199
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein enable a browser to display content of a web page that is incompatible therewith. When such a page is to be traversed, the first browser causes a virtual machine that executes an instance of a second browser with which the page is compatible to be instantiated. The browsers communicate via communication channels utilized to share information therebetween. For instance, the first browser provides a URL of the page to the second browser for traversal thereby. Graphics information corresponding to the page is provided to the first browser. The first browser generates an image corresponding to the page based on the graphics information and renders the image in a tab of the first browser. This enables a visual experience for the user where it appears that the page is being rendered by the first browser when it is in fact being rendered by the second browser.

  • Patent number: 11853536
    Abstract: Systems and processes are disclosed for operating a digital assistant in a media environment. In an exemplary embodiment, a user can interact with a digital assistant of a media device while content is displayed by the media device. In one approach, a plurality of exemplary natural language requests can be displayed in response to detecting a user input of a first input type. The plurality of exemplary natural language requests can be contextually-related to the displayed content. In another approach, a user request can be received in response to detecting a user input of a second input type. A task that at least partially satisfies the user request can be performed.

  • Patent number: 11847472
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for linearizing interfaces within computing applications. In some embodiments, the techniques include defining a sequence of user interface elements, where at least a subset of user interface elements in the sequence of user interface elements correspond to controls for affecting a session state. Responsive to receiving an input value through a user interface element, a linearization process adds the input value to at least one dataset for evaluating a current state for each respective user interface element subsequent to the user interface element in the sequence of user interface elements. The process further evaluates the current state for each respective user interface element subsequent to the user interface element in the sequence of user interface elements based on values within the at least one data set. The process may disable and/or enable one or more user interface elements based on the evaluation.

  • Patent number: 11822869
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to systems and techniques for executing a documentation application displaying a graphical user interface having an editable field configured to receive textual input. The system receives a first portion of a textual input in the editable field, which includes a command character designating the first portion of the textual input as a link insertion command. The system receives a second portion of textual input in the editable field and, before entry of the textual input is complete, the system analyzes the second portion of the textual input to identify an external platform service. The system then accesses, using an application programming interface, first hosted data hosted by the external platform service. The first hosted data may be displayed in line with the textual input and used to generate a complete link path. Once complete, the link path is replaced with a selectable graphical object that is operable, when selected, to redirect the user to the external platform service.
