  • Patent number: 11831453
    Abstract: An illustrative communication provider system determines that a first virtual location of a first avatar in a shared virtual space is proximate to a second virtual location of a second avatar in the shared virtual space. The first avatar represents a first user and the second avatar represents a second user located remotely from the first user. The communication provider system detects an availability status of the second user, and, based on the availability status of the second user and the determination that the first virtual location of the first avatar is proximate to the second virtual location of the second avatar, the communication provider system provides audio content for presentation to the second user. The audio content is representative of a spoken communication by the first user. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11829712
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to management of transparent glassboard representations, where a virtual glassboard is comprehensively integrated with presentation content. An exemplary transparent glassboard representation provides a layered configuration of content layers in an ordered arrangement to maximize integration of a virtual glassboard within presentation content. Some examples of the present disclosure comprise those where a graphical user interface (GUI) object is managed during the design of presentation content. In further examples, the present disclosure pertains to management for rendering of a transparent glassboard representation within a GUI of a host application/service endpoint during real-time (or near real-time) presentation. Further non-limiting examples apply trained artificial intelligence (AI) processing to efficiency automate management of transparent glassboard representations both in a design phase and presentation phase for managing presentation content.

  • Patent number: 11775153
    Abstract: Examples herein include methods, systems, and computer program products for transparently determining the accuracy of image analysis and processing software where program code executing on a processor(s) determines that an image has been selected in a software of interest and is displayed in a viewer of the software of interest. The program code automatically launches a graphical user interface (window), on the screen, displayed contemporaneously with the viewer. The program code automatically annotates a region of the image in the window using an annotation defined by a specification. The program code calculates (using instructions from the specification) the first set of the values. The program code obtains a second set of the one or more values, calculated by the software, based on the annotation; The program code compares the value sets to identify discrepancies. The program code determines a reason for each discrepancy and displays the reason in the window.

  • Patent number: 11758353
    Abstract: A privacy enhanced system and method of using a handheld computerized device to store and retrieve geofence based notifications, without requiring that any of the specific geofenced regions or notifications be reported on a remote server. The system enables the user to both manually draw the desired geofences on the device's touchscreen, as well as directly load the geofence associated notifications (such as various images) into the device in advance. Other constraints and executable code can also be input and associated as desired. In use, the system automatically triggers when its location sensors detect that the device is within a geofenced region, and if the constraints are satisfied, can automatically retrieve the desired notifications. In some embodiments, the system can use previously stored executable code to automatically generate additional geofence regions and notifications.

  • Patent number: 11704010
    Abstract: Techniques for configuring and presenting multiple languages at a user interface executing in an operating environment of a process plant include configuring, in a configuration environment, a multi-language interface object to indicate a plurality of languages that may be presented at the user interface. The multi-language interface object includes a parameter whose value is changeable, within the operating environment, to indicate a desired language that is to be presented on the user interface. A configuration of the graphical display view that references the configured multi-language interface object is downloaded into the operating environment. Thus, during runtime, changes in the language utilized at the user interface are implemented without any additional downloads from or communications with the configuration environment.
