  • Patent number: 12367222
    Abstract: A system displays a tree of class icons in a model region. While displaying the tree, the system detects a first portion of an input to place a candidate class icon in the model region. In response, the system (i) identifies a neighboring class icon, in the tree of class icons, that is nearest to the candidate class icon, where the neighboring class icon is circumscribed by a revealer region, and (ii) when the location of the candidate class icon is outside the revealer region, displaying a tentative connector, between the candidate class icon and the neighboring class icon. The system detects a second portion of the user input. In response to the detection, the system presents options for user selection of JOIN fields, including displaying a first data field selection list for the candidate class icon and a second data field selection list for the neighboring class icon.

  • Patent number: 12367505
    Abstract: A data distribution system configured to receive market data from one or more market data sources, associated location data from one or more location data sources, and polygons from one or more polygon sources. The system may normalize the location data and the polygons such that a format of the normalized location data matches a format of the normalized polygons. Upon receiving, via an interactive graphical user interface (GUI), user input comprising a data request, the interactive GUI may determine that the data request comprises at least a portion of the normalized location data. The interactive GUI may augment the normalized location data with one or more normalized polygons, generate an augmented presentation package comprising the one or more normalized polygons, and display the augmented presentation package, such that the one or more normalized polygons are presented on an interactive map interface.

  • Patent number: 12353670
    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: 12333241
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for integrating native and non-native dependencies in a spreadsheet hosted by a spreadsheet application. In an implementation, a computing apparatus identifies a formula in a first cell of a spreadsheet which includes a non-native argument. The computing apparatus identifies a dependency between the first cell and a second cell created by the non-native argument. The computing apparatus limits recalculations of the spreadsheet based at least on the dependency. In an implementation, absent any other dependencies between the first cell and other cells, the first cell is excluded from recalculations triggered by changes to the other cells and included in recalculations triggered by the second cell. In an implementation, a direct or indirect dependency is created by, respectively, an explicit or implicit reference to the second cell in the non-native argument. In some implementations, the formula is native to the spreadsheet application hosting the spreadsheet.

  • Patent number: 12299259
    Abstract: A load control system may be configured using a design (e.g., graphical user interface) software. The design software may display icons representing fixtures (e.g., lighting fixtures) and devices (e.g., load control devices, controls, sensors, etc.) on a canvas. The design software may define relationships between the fixtures and/or devices. The design software may provide load control templates defining collections of devices, for example, for particular rooms in a building. The templates may be quickly placed on the canvas to define a particular area. Fixtures may be added to a template on the canvas and the design software may automatically create relationships between the fixtures and the devices (e.g., load control devices) of the template. In addition, the design software may automatically create relationships between the devices of the template (e.g., between controls and load control devices).

  • Patent number: 12299380
    Abstract: Techniques for an intelligent document processing assistant are provided. In one technique, an electronic document is received and content thereof is automatically analyzed to determine a document type of the electronic document. Based on the document type, text data is extracted from the electronic document. The text data comprises multiple field values that correspond to multiple field names that are associated with the document type. Some of the field names and field values are presented on a screen of a computing device. In response to receiving, through the computing device, first user input that modifies at least one data item (in the text data that was extracted from the electronic document), the text data is updated to generate modified text data. Second user input that confirms the modified text data is received through the computing device. The modified text data is transmitted over a network to a data storage service.

  • Patent number: 12229645
    Abstract: Target-based schema identification and semantic mapping for robotic process automation (RPA) are disclosed. When looking at a source, such as a document, a web form, a user interface of a software application, a data file, etc., it is often difficult for software to determine which fields are labels and which are values associated with those labels. Since values have not yet been entered for various labels (e.g., first name, company, customer number, etc.), these labels are easier to detect than when the target also includes various values associated with the labels. A selection of an empty target may be received and target-based schema identification may be performed on the empty target, determining labels and a type of the target. Semantic matching may then be performed between a source and the target. These features may be performed at design time or runtime.
