Abstract: Contact or movement gestures between a first body part and a second body part can be detected. Sense circuitry can be configured to sense a signal at the sense electrode (e.g., configured to contact the second body part) in response to a drive signal applied to the drive electrode (e.g., configured to contact the first body part). Processing circuitry can be configured to detect contact in accordance with a determination that one or more criteria are met (e.g., an amplitude criterion and a non-distortion criterion). Additionally or alternatively, processing circuitry can be configured to detect a movement gesture in accordance with a determination that one or more criteria are met (e.g., a contact criterion and a movement criterion).

Abstract: Systems and methods for universal menu integration. A digital key is issued to a vendor to access an interface. An uploaded menu is received from the vendor. The uploaded menu is in a universal format based on pre-determined criteria. The menu may be received from the vendor via HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The uploaded menu may be submitted in a format different from the universal format and then subsequently translated into the universal format. The uploaded menu is posted for receiving online delivery orders. An online delivery order is received from a user device. Last, the online delivery order is transmitted to the vendor. The interface may be an application programming interface (API) utilizing an API library including post, get, and patch functions, as well as out of stock and item availability fields. The system may be configured to receive menu updates after posting the uploaded menu.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for conversational mapping of web items for mediated group decisions is disclosed. In one embodiment of the method, a web server delivers a web page that comprises a hyperlink and identities of one or more products that were selected at an E-commerce website by an online shopper via a web browser. In response to activation of the hyperlink by the online shopper via the web browser, product information for the one or more products is transferred in a transaction message to a decision-support system via a network. The decision-support system sends some or all of the product information to one or more user devices. The decision-support system subsequently receives review information related to the one or more products from the one or more user devices via a messaging service. The decision-support system processes the product review information to generate a result, and the decision-support system sends the result to another user device for display thereon via the messaging service.

Abstract: A multi-dimensional graphic user interface displays selected types of information regarding items included in one or more databases or returned by a search in accordance with locations on a two-dimensional display area or projection of a three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional area and provides for selective display of information about respective items in a database (e.g. metadata) as additional dimensions of the display which may be suppressed and/or selectively introduced to avoid user distraction or obscuring information or for comparison between screens which may indicate to a user the degree to which a particular item may or may not be germane to an issue or particular subject matter of interest. The graphic user interface thus provides an effective tool for evaluating search results and organizing detailed review thereof.

The KPIs of highest practical and statistical significance are provided when the user accesses the user interface. In some embodiments, when the user is viewing a KPI, other relevant KPIs may be provided for the user to view as suggestions. Further, in some embodiments, the user may be provided with the KPIs of significance based on anomaly detection, and the explanation for the anomaly as well as suggestions for remedying any issues may be provided to the user. The highly informational content can be surfaced through the use of the advanced machine learning algorithms described herein.

Abstract: A system for establishing a collaborative environment to facilitate co-editing on a web application receives, from a first user, a request to create a virtual collaboration room for the first user and a second user. The system transmits the web application to a first computing device associated with the first user such that a first session of the web application is displayed on the first computing device. The system transmits the web application to a second computing device associated with the second user such that a second session of the web application is displayed on the second computing device. The system synchronously modifies the first session and the second session with user events performed by any of the users. The system detects a request to commit the latest modifications of the user events to the web application stored in the memory, and commits the latest modifications to the web application.
