  • Patent number: 11526588
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for asserting the authenticity of digital content being communicated among client devices of a communication or computer system by configuring the digital content with one or more sensor responsive elements. The sensor responsive element may be a visual interface that dynamically reacts or responds to sensor data generated by one or more sensors (such as a gyroscope sensor, a microphone, and a camera) of a receiving client device. If the sensor responsive element does not dynamically react or respond to movement data, image data, or sound data generated by the one or more sensors, the digital content may fail user inspection and may indicate to the recipient that the digital content is a fake or a counterfeit.

  • Patent number: 11513823
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to a service application that supports a client device to access a platform via a client instance. The service application enables the user to perform an operation related to management of a virtual resource. In some embodiments, the service application invokes a chat interface to place the client device in communication with a virtual agent. Via the chat interface, the service application prompts the user to select a topic, an operation, and a virtual resource to indicate a desired operation to be performed. When the service application receives the selections made by the user via the chat interface, the service application, such as the virtual agent, may access the platform to perform the desired operation.

  • Patent number: 11507606
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improving a search process by providing a visual guided search experience is provided. A networked system determines a location of a user device. A user interface (UI) is presented illustrating a map at a first level view of an area based on the location. The networked system receives, via the UI, a first touch input indicating a zoom selection. In response, the UI shows a second level view of the area that includes a plurality of nodes each representing a point of interest in the area. The second level view is a lower level view than the first level view. The networked system then receives, via the UI, a second touch input selecting a node of the plurality of node. In response to the selecting of the node, navigation information for a selected point of interest corresponding to the selected node is presented.

  • Patent number: 11474843
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence (“AI”) based system is disclosed for associating low-level user content, such as documents, email messages, and calendar invites, with high-level user activities using topics as an abstraction. The associations can enable a computing system to provide, among other things, activity-specific views that present a specific selection of low-level user content that is most relevant to a user at a particular point in time. The activity-specific views present the right information to users at the right time based on a context of a user and a user's past activities.

  • Patent number: 11372541
    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.
