  • Patent number: 10949154
    Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) is polled to identify updates for transmission to a client device. A generalized poll of the GUI is conducted at a first frequency, wherein the poll compares color values of each pixel in a general region of the GUI with a previously known color value for that pixel to detect changed pixel color values. A local region that is a subset of the general region is determined to have a greater likelihood of being updated, e.g., regions encompassing a location of mouse and/or keyboard activity. A localized poll is conducted at a second frequency of only the local region of the GUI.

  • Patent number: 10885057
    Abstract: A user interface that includes a data flow pane and a profile pane. The data flow pane displays a flow diagram that identifies a data source. For each of multiple queries against the data source, the process issues the query against the data source asynchronously with an initial block size. Upon retrieval of the initial set of rows, the process repeats the query asynchronously with an updated block size until all of the rows have been retrieved. Periodically the process determines a high water mark for rows from the data source that have been retrieved for all of the queries. When the water mark changes, the process updates the profile pane to display data value histograms for multiple data fields in the data source. Each bar in each data value histogram counts the rows below the water mark that have a single specific data value or range of data values.

  • Patent number: 10878523
    Abstract: A system and method of employing a computing device to present a graphical user interface (GUI) with a legal matter status bar. A status bar is generated to include a representation of each phase of a legal matter, the phases represent a chronological order of event groupings throughout the legal matter. The status bar and the representation of each phase are displayed in the GUI. Marker-eligible phases are determined based on each of the marker-eligible phases having a previously established event. A marked phase from the marker-eligible phases is selected based on the marked phase having a most recently added event. The display of the status bar is modified to associate a marker with the representation of the marked phase. When a new event for a phase is received, the display of the status bar is modified to associate the marker with the representation of that phase.

  • Patent number: 10852898
    Abstract: Method and system for the provision of interactive assistance over a network for a user to complete a desired computing task on a user computing device. Task-guides are generated on task-guide generators operating on author user devices. Each task-guide includes a sequence of processes, each process including an action for the user to perform in association with a graphical user interface (GUI) object displayed on the user computing device. The process obtains information about the GUI object using at least one data-gathering technique. An administrator operating on a server computing device receives a task-assistance request from a task-guide executor operating on an end user device, and sends back at least one suitable task-guide over the network. The task-guide executor executes the task-guide on the end user device, displaying a sequence of instructions for the end user to follow in order to complete the desired computing task.

  • Patent number: 10846360
    Abstract: A smartphone displays a web page. The web page includes a first object exhibiting an image and a second object exhibiting a link. The smartphone includes a display, a first display section, and a second display section. The first display section displays an alternative web page which is identical to the web page aside from including a third object instead of the first object, before information indicating the image is downloaded. The third object indicates that the image is to be displayed. The second display section displays the web page after the information indicating the image is downloaded. The second display section displays the first and second objects such that a display location of the second object on the web page coincides with a display location of the second object on the alternative web page.

  • Patent number: 10817533
    Abstract: A method is performed at a computer. The computer retrieves a dataset from a database. The dataset includes a plurality of fields, including a first field. The computer displays a data-preparation graphical user interface, which includes a first region displaying a grid with columns corresponding to the fields and a second region that displays a sequence of operations applied to the dataset. The computer receives a user action to specify a first filter for the first field. The computer removes rows from the grid whose corresponding data values in the first column do not satisfy the first filter. The computer identifies some additional rows from the dataset, not previously displayed in the grid, whose data values for the first field satisfy the first filter, and displays the additional rows in the grid. The computer inserts an operation identifier into the third region, which identifies the first filter.

  • Patent number: 10810263
    Abstract: A method for providing a visual representation of data stored in a database may include generating a graphic user interface configured to receive inputs for constructing a hierarchical measure based on the data stored in the database. An indication to add, to the hierarchical measure, a first measure and a second measure may be received via the graphic user interface. In response to the indication, the hierarchical measure may be constructed to include, based on the first measure being added prior to the second measure, the first measure as a parent measure and the second measure as a child measure. A first value of the first measure may correspond to an aggregate of at least a second value of the second measure. The graphic user interface may be updated to provide a visual representation of the hierarchical measure. Related systems and articles of manufacture are also provided.
