  • Patent number: 11755179
    Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to an application programming interface (API) and user interface (UI) that can translate user communication into an interactive message that is displayed on the UI. In at least one embodiment, a mobile application uses a sentence builder to translate data structures into an interactive message (e.g., an editable sentence). A UI can display the interactive message in a first portion (e.g., “upper portion”) of a UI, and display user selectable objects for adding information to the interactive message in a second portion (e.g., “lower portion”). For example, as a customer makes choices for a food order, ingredients as emojis can appear and disappear in sentence form from a UI based on customer preferences and inputs.

  • Patent number: 11656741
    Abstract: Orthodontic aligners can be used to help shape a patient's teeth, jaw, and gums. Aligners are designed to move teeth into a desired position. Prior to the treatment, a dental professional will prepare a treatment plan (e.g., a set of aligners, etc.) Each aligner in the set may perform a different action on different subsets of teeth. Many dental professionals use animation software to show the patient an animation/video of the changes that are going to occur to the patient's teeth/jaw over time as a result of the treatment plan. While the animation may visually depict how the teeth and mouth are going to change, it does not tell the patient what is being performed (i.e., the actions that are being taken to move the teeth). As a result, the patient often has a significant number of questions because they are not properly educated on the treatment.
