  • Patent number: 10564829
    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.

  • Patent number: 10528231
    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: 10331297
    Abstract: A first user interface is displayed on an electronic device. The first user interface is associated with a first internal node of a content hierarchy, and includes a context region, a header region comprising information identifying the first internal node, and a child-node region comprising one or more selectable identifiers that correspond to one or more child nodes of the first internal node. A selection of a respective child-node identifier is detected. In response, a transition to a second user interface associated with the respective child node is displayed. The transition comprises, while maintaining display of the one or more selectable labels in the context region, moving the respective child-node identifier upward toward the header region, and updating the context region by transforming the information identifying the first internal node into a selectable label identifying the first internal node as an ancestor node of the respective child node.

  • Patent number: 8990703
    Abstract: A remote menu control function mapping set including user interface control commands that control operation of a second device is obtained at a first device from the second device. The user interface control commands are encoded using a shared cross-communication library that defines a user interface sharing protocol. A menu that maps the encoded user interface control commands to menu items using the shared cross-communication library is generated. The generated menu is displayed on a display of the first device. A selection of a menu item from the displayed menu is detected. An encoded user interface control command that is mapped to the selected menu item is sent to the second device. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
