Patent number: 11132495Abstract: State of the art viewport design approach faces challenge in addressing customization of view port design. A method and device for dynamic view port generation providing enhanced viewport usability of text messages to be displayed on screen by considering type of user and customized typeface is provided. Determining of a customized typeface is based on user's reading capability tested during initial type face set up by the device. The customization of typeface includes applying kerning spacing and glyphs adjustment to squeeze area of the displayed text, still maintaining less ambiguity during reading. For received messages to be displayed, maximum size of window for a viewport is obtained on-the-fly with a constraint of maximum or optimal number of viewports displayed at a time on device screen. NLP is applied to each message to condense text in the message such that maximum information is conveyed while displaying minimum words.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2020Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Pankaj Doke, Karan Bhavsar, Sujit Shinde, Sanjay Kimbahune, Srinivasu Pappula, Harsh Vishwakarma, Sylvan Lobo, Akhilesh Srivastava

Patent number: 10990437Abstract: There is provided systems and methods for interface data display optimization during critical device operations. A user may utilize a device to perform various device or application functionalities, which may include critical computing tasks at times. These critical processes may include certain GUI data display that the user and/or device requires to be displayed during the critical processes. To prevent the GUI data display from being obscured by other banners, pop-up notifications, or other interface data displays, the device may determine whether the current displayed interface data on the GUI is critical or has a higher priority for display than a new request for data display. This may be based on preferences within the application, where the requested data display may occur on the GUI, current device or application data, and/or information for the requested data display. The device may then block the data display.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2018Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventor: Vidit Nayankumar Maniyar
