  • Patent number: 11816320
    Abstract: Computer-readable media, methods, and systems are disclosed for displaying paginated growing widgets. At generation time, a pagination service negotiates widget bounds. The pagination service transmits proposed bounds and a starting index to the growing widgets and receives a number of items that can be displayed as well as updated bounds for all items that can be displayed. The pagination service creates a cache entry including a widget identifier, updated widget bounds, and a starting and ending widget data item index. If a particular page is not present in the widget pagination cache, the pagination service performs another bounds negotiation. At display time, the pagination service instructs each of the paginated growing widgets to render updated widget data items based on a corresponding widget pagination cache entry, without reprocessing a document object model associated with a front-end application on which the paginated growing widgets are displayed.

  • Patent number: 11755200
    Abstract: Techniques for adjusting a posture of an operating system mode for a touch-enabled computing device based on combinations of user preferences and user input modality signals. Various adjustments to the posture of the operating system mode do not impact whether particular user interface elements are present but rather alter characteristics with which these particular user interface elements are rendered. Posture adjustments to an operating system mode occur based on combinations user input modality signals and user preferences not to enter another mode in which particular user interface elements are no longer displayed within a task bar along a peripheral edge. An object of designing an operating system mode to have multiple different postures with common user interface elements displayed in the task bar while adjusting the characteristics thereof is to preserve the user familiarity across postures while optimizing graphical layouts to accommodate for a current user input modality.

  • Patent number: 11748315
    Abstract: The present technology can move operating system folders into a sync folder of a cross platform content management system, and redirect the operating system to look for the OS folders in the sync folder. The present technology also provides an invariant checker to make sure that another application has not moved the OS folders after they have been placed in the sync folder, and provides solutions when the OS folders are moved out of the sync folder of the content management system. Additionally, when OS folders for multiple client devices are in the sync folder on the content management system, the present technology can provide a mechanism to make the content items in an OS folder on a first client device also sync into an OS folder on second client device.

  • Patent number: 11740914
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed herein for positioning application windows based on existing application layout and anticipated user workflows. When an existing application window and a recently launched application window are determined to be related to a workflow, and the default position of the recently launched application window is determined to overlap with the existing application window, the recently launched application window may be displayed in a non-default display region to avoid occlusion. By avoiding occlusion, the foldable device may provide a user-friendly application layout, reducing the number of times a user will move, resize, or switch between application windows in the workflow. This in turn may improve device performance and efficiency while reducing errors attributable to user input. The user-friendly layout may also enable a user to view more content at the same time, increasing productivity, reducing eye strain, facilitating operations such as cut and paste, etc.

  • Patent number: 11726803
    Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) based computer systems and methods are disclosed for autonomously creating customer service help guides via a graphic user interface (GUI). Computing instructions operating on processor(s) are configured to automatically crawl digital product categorie(s) and create action script(s) derived therefrom. The action script(s) comprise user directive(s) for completing user task(s) on a computing device and software application configured to render a GUI. A natural language understanding (NLU) model associates the action script(s) with text of the user task(s). The action script(s) are tested against completion criteria to output success result(s). An AI model is trained on the action script(s), the text of the user tasks, and the completion criteria. A client device of user may request assistance with a given task, and may render, in response, graphic-and-text display(s) associated with a relevant action script (as determined by the AI model) on a GUI of the client device.

  • Patent number: 11698802
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates techniques for coordinating and synchronizing client-facing support services with the activities and responses from one or more technical teams assigned to address a client issue. In certain implementations, this may allow an agent or customer approach to use a single reference identifier (such as a case or matter number) to access information or updates from technical teams that do not typically employ such a number for their own tracking purposes. In this manner, relevant information to a client issue may be accessed from all involved technical teams at the agent level as well as allowing the technical teams themselves to readily see activity by other teams.
