  • Patent number: 11669228
    Abstract: Computer systems and methods may display multi-dimensional data sets in a dynamically-generated ocular view, which may show the relationship between data points in the different dimensions. For example, such a data set may include in one dimension results of one or more laboratory tests and, in another dimension, body systems or functions that the respective tests may relate to. The ocular view may depict the relationships between the tests and the systems. By being generated dynamically, moreover, the ocular view may be able to present this information for arbitrary sets of test results, without a template having been generated in advance to specify the layout of some particular combination of results.

  • Patent number: 11625148
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to provide intelligent snap assist recommendations using a diverse set of factors and factor weights. To generate recommendations, a system receives a user input placing a first item in a region of a snapped configuration in a display environment. In response, the system assigns a confidence score for a plurality of items including items open in the display environment as well as items that are not open. The system then ranks the items based on confidence score and selects a list of recommended items from the ranked list. The recommended items are then presented in a second region of the snapped configuration for selection. The system is further configured to receive and analyze user selections of snapped items to learn over time and adjust confidence scoring.

  • Patent number: 11609682
    Abstract: An illustrative communication provider system presents, to a first user, a communication interface that displays a two-dimensional (ā€œ2Dā€) representation of a shared virtual space that includes a 2D representation of an avatar associated with a second user. By way of the communication interface, the communication provider system receives a request by the first user to initiate a communication session of a particular communication type with the second user, and, based on the request, initiates the communication session of the particular communication type with the second user. During the initiated communication session and based on the particular communication type, the communication provider system replaces the 2D representation of the shared virtual space with a three-dimensional (ā€œ3Dā€) representation of the shared virtual space that includes a 3D representation of the avatar associated with the second user. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11579749
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for tailoring composite graphical assistant interfaces for interacting with multiple different connected devices. The composite graphical assistant interfaces can be generated proactively and/or in response to a user providing a request for an automated assistant to cause a connected device to perform a particular function. In response to the automated assistant receiving the request, the automated assistant can identify other connected devices, and other functions capable of being performed by the other connected devices. The other functions can then be mapped to various graphical control elements in order to provide a composite graphical assistant interface from which the user can interact with different connected devices. Each graphical control element can be arranged to reflect how each connected device is operating simultaneous to the presentation of the composite graphical assistant interface.

  • Patent number: 11533463
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying branded video tags. An advertiser provides additional content associated with broadcast advertising content to a service provider that downloads the additional content to a digital video recorder (DVR). The service provider inserts command tags into the content that are intercepted by the DVR and interpreted as commands that instruct the DVR to perform specific actions when the DVR receives the stream from a broadcaster. The DVR intercepts and translates any tags inserted into the content stream while the DVR is playing the content stream. Tags can cause the DVR to display a branded video tag to the user which is a displayed icon that requests an interaction by the user and has an advertiser's logo(s) displayed in its vicinity.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs stored on computer-readable media, for inline and contextual delivery of content, which may include content selectively determined using private database content. In some implementations, interface data indicating text of a user interface of a electronic device is obtained. A particular term in the text of the user interface of the electronic device is determined to satisfy one or more criteria. Based on determining that the particular term satisfies the one or more criteria, the particular term is annotated to alter the appearance of the particular term in the user interface. After annotating the particular term, user interaction with the annotated term is detected and a card is provided for display in the user interface. The card can include information that corresponds to the term and that was determined using content from a private database for an organization of the user.

  • Patent number: 11500532
    Abstract: In an electronic device capable of running multiple software applications concurrently, applications, documents, cards, or other activities can be selected for hibernation so as to free up system resources for other activities that are in active use. A determination is made as to which activities should hibernate, for example based on a determination as to which activities have not been used recently or based on relative resource usage. When an activity is to hibernate, its state is preserved on a storage medium such as a disk, so that the activity can later be revived in the same state and the user can continue with the same task that was being performed before the activity entered hibernation.

  • Patent number: 11467717
    Abstract: Techniques for optimizing window resize actions for a remoted application are provided, where the remoted application has a server-side window running within a remote desktop of a server system, and where the server-side window is made accessible to a user of a client system as a client-side window displayed in a client desktop of the client system. In one embodiment, the client system can receive from the server system a notification that the server-side window is being resized in the remote desktop, and can determine that the user is currently entering one or more input commands for resizing the server-side window. In response, the client system can send a message to the server system for canceling the resizing of the server-side window. The client system can then allow the user to resize the client-side window via the one or more input commands, while the server-side window remains a fixed size.
