  • Patent number: 11979296
    Abstract: In a synchronization system, the present invention provides an improved user interface through which a user can view and manage settings associated with the user's account in the synchronization system. In the preferred embodiment, a column is displayed for each electronic device associated with the user's account in the synchronization system. In each column is a visual representation of items (e.g., folders) that are (1) backed up, remotely accessible and/or synchronized in the synchronization system and (2) located on the electronic device associated with such column. For each item that is synchronized across multiple devices, all the visual representations of such item in the columns are aligned across a single row in the interface. In the preferred embodiment, there is an arrow, or other visual indicator, between the visual representations of such items to indicate that the items are synchronized.

  • Patent number: 11966555
    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for measuring a workspace is provided. The method includes capturing a workspace that is virtually represented on a user interface display of a computing apparatus that image-captured the workspace. The user inputs, via the user interface, a value of a known measurement of a length represented in the virtual workspace. Through the user interface, along the virtual workspace, the user identifies virtual end boundary points of the length associated with the known measurement. The user then defines a defined space within the virtual workspace by placing additional virtual boundary points. The system calibrates from the inputted value and the virtual end boundary points of the known measurement all the remaining measurements of the surface area, which can be used to render a map display and calculate surface area, volume, or any other geometric aspects of the defined space.

  • Patent number: 11921966
    Abstract: Systems and methods related to intelligent typing and responses using eye-gaze technology are disclosed herein. In some example aspects, a dwell-free typing system is provided to a user typing with eye-gaze. A prediction processor may intelligently determine the desired word or action of the user. In some aspects, the prediction processor may contain elements of a natural language processor. In other aspects, the systems and methods may allow quicker response times from applications due to application of intelligent response algorithms. For example, a user may fixate on a certain button within a web-browser, and the prediction processor may present a response to the user by selecting the button in the web-browser, thereby initiating an action. In other example aspects, each gaze location may be associated with a UI element. The gaze data and associated UI elements may be processed for intelligent predictions and suggestions.

  • Patent number: 11893201
    Abstract: An Always On Display (AOD) theme display method is provided. In the method, when a mobile device is under a screen-on theme, one or more first controls included in the screen-on theme are separately selected on an AOD settings interface based on a detected operation, and one or more second controls are selected on a second control settings interface, where the second control is a lower-level control of the first control, and at least one first control includes the second control. When the mobile device is switched from a screen-on state to an AOD state, a control displayed in an AOD theme is a part of the first controls included in the screen-on theme and/or a part of the second controls. The method meets a user requirement for more refined or personalized settings, so that the AOD theme is consistent with or close to the screen-on theme in style. This improves user experience.

  • Patent number: 11880696
    Abstract: A system provides a design interface for designing and implementing graphical user interfaces that users can access through web browsers. Depending on the configuration of the graphical user interfaces, the users may be able to monitor and control industrial processes by interacting with components that correspond to the industrial processes as displayed in user interfaces at client devices. The design interface includes functionality for selecting preprogrammed components, or for generating new components for display. The design interface further allows designers to associate data values received from a variety of sources with properties of the components in the user interfaces. In particular, properties associated with a component of an interface are stored in property tree structures, making dynamic changes to the components possible. Data bindings between subtrees representing components and sets of data from industrial and other sources allows for designs that scale with the availability of the data.

  • Patent number: 11803763
    Abstract: Classification predictions made by a concept classifier may be interactively visualized and explored in a user interface that displays visual representations of a plurality of data items in a star coordinate space spanned by a plurality of anchor concepts each mapping the data items onto respective finite real-valued scores. Positions of the visual representations of the data items in the star coordinate space are based on the scores for the plurality of anchor concepts, and may be updated responsive to a user manipulating the anchor concepts in the user interface, e.g., by moving or modifying definitions of anchor concepts, or by adding or deleting anchor concepts. The visual representations of the data items may reflect labels and/or classification predictions, and may be updated based on updated classification predictions following retraining the of the concept classifier based on added training data or new features.
