  • Patent number: 12340355
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for collecting and releasing virtual objects between disparate augmented reality environments. One method comprises receiving user selection to collect an object in a first environment displayed on a user device at a first time. A search request may then be transmitted to a content server from which a virtual object corresponding to the collected object is received in response. The virtual object may be stored in a user library associated with a user identifier of the user. When a second environment is displayed on the user device, the virtual object may be added to the second environment in response to receiving user selection to add the virtual object and determining that the user is associated with the user identifier.

  • Patent number: 12265692
    Abstract: A client application associated with a content sharing network can include functionality for discovering content (e.g., text, image, audio, video, and other multimedia data) of the network. The content discovery functionality can be graphically represented as a feed with the top-ranking content (e.g., most relevant content, most recently created content, content created in a geographic location most proximate to a user, etc.) displayed at the top of the feed and lower-ranking content displayed at the bottom of the feed. The feed can re-order itself based on user interactions, content characteristics, system trends, and the like. A user can navigate to various portions of the feed, and the feed can continuously refresh itself to give the user an impression of an infinite feed of fresh, relevant content.

  • Patent number: 12218889
    Abstract: Implementations can receive user input during a dialog session between a user and an automated assistant at a client device of the user and via an automated assistant platform, and in response to determining that the user input requires a user interaction with a non-assistant platform: store a state of the dialog session between the user and the automated assistant, transmit a request to initiate the user interaction to the non-assistant platform that causes an additional client device of the user to render a prompt for completing the user interaction, and receive a token associated with the user interaction from the non-assistant platform. In response to receiving the token associated with the user interaction, implementations can cause the dialog session between the user and the automated assistant to be resumed based on the stored state of the dialog session and based on the token associated with the user interaction.

  • Patent number: 12189663
    Abstract: A method visualizes object models for data sources. The device displays, in an object model visualization region, a first visualization of a tree of data object icons, each data object icon representing a logical combination of one or more tables. The device also displays recommendations for one or more data sources to add objects to the tree. While displaying the first visualization in the object model visualization region, the device detects a first input on a first data object icon of the tree of data object icons. In response to detecting the first input on the first data object icon, the device displays a second visualization of the tree of the data object icons in a first portion of the object model visualization region and displays a third visualization of information related to the first data object icon in a second portion of the object model visualization region.

  • Patent number: 12182388
    Abstract: An improved physical control system environment that allows an operator to replay historical data in a user interface that depicts content as if the data being displayed in the user interface is being captured or measured in real-time is described herein. For example, the improved physical control system environment can produce an improved user interface that depicts graphical representation(s) of one or more physical components optionally arranged by geography, similar to the graphical representation(s) that are depicted by a physical control system user interface that displays real-time data. However, the underlying data depicted in the improved user interface may be historical data rather than real-time data.
