  • Patent number: 11609771
    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: 11556802
    Abstract: The improved exercise of artificial intelligence by providing a systematic way for a computing system to interface with output from AI models. To do this, the computing system obtains results of an input data set being applied to an AI model. The results are then refined based upon characteristic(s) of the AI model and perhaps the input data set. Based upon characteristic(s) of the AI model and perhaps the input data set, interface element(s) are identified that can be used to interface with the refined results. The interface element(s) are then communicated to an interface element that interfaces with the refined results. The interface element(s) may include, for instance, operator(s) or term(s) that may be used to query against the refined results and/or an identification of visualization(s) that may be used to present to a user results of queries against the refined results.
