  • Patent number: 11669217
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (10) includes a receiver (111) configured to receive operation information corresponding to details of a cursor operation of allowing a user (U) to move the cursor (CUR); a controller (112) configured to cause a display (20) to display the cursor (CUR), based on the operation information, and a calculator (114) configured to, when the operation information includes an instruction to move the cursor positioned in one item image out of the item images (GI-1 to GI-9) toward another item image adjacent to the one item image, calculate an arrangement density of item images arranged in a direction of movement of the cursor from the one item image. The controller (112) reduces an amount of the cursor operation required for the user to move the cursor (CUR) from the one item image to the other item image to be within a range not below a predetermined lower limit value as the arrangement density calculated by the calculator (114) increases.

  • Patent number: 11636419
    Abstract: A method for plant efficiency evaluation includes a first step of displaying in a first graphical zone a set of operators and a set of operands in a second graphical zone. A formula editor user interface is provided in a third graphical zone which enables a drag and drop of an operator or an operand for creating a formula for a plant performance indicator (PPI) as a measure of plant efficiency. When an operand is dropped into the third graphical zone, automatically displaying for the dropped operand a predefined list of entities involved in a production process of the plant, the predefined list enabling a selection of an entity for said operand. Data are then automatically collected for selected entity for each operand that has been dragged and dropped in the third graphical zone, and the PPI is a automatically calculated from the formula and the collected data.

  • Patent number: 11379033
    Abstract: Implementations use a first device (e.g., an HMD) to provide a CGR environment that augments the input and output capabilities of a second device, e.g., a laptop, smart speaker, etc. In some implementations, the first device communicates with a second device in its proximate physical environment to exchange input or output data. For example, an HMD may capture an image of a physical environment that includes a laptop. The HMD may detect the laptop, send a request the laptop's content, receive content from the laptop (e.g., the content that the laptop is currently displaying and additional content), identify the location of the laptop, and display a virtual object with the received content in the CGR environment on or near the laptop. The size, shape, orientation, or position of the virtual object (e.g., a virtual monitor or monitor extension) may also be configured to provide a better user experience.

  • Patent number: 11379798
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for surfacing content related to electronic calendar events are presented. An electronic calendar event library may be maintained. One or more calendar events that meet threshold time criteria in relation to a current time may be identified. One or more rules may be applied to the identified events to determine whether contextual information and/or actions should be surfaced in relation to those events. In some examples, an event priority score may be calculated for each of the identified events. Contextual information and/or actions associated with events with event priority scores that exceed a threshold value may be surfaced. The contextual information and/or actions may be prioritized based on the event priority scores.
