  • Patent number: 11188925
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically reconfiguring a user interface based on a product lifecycle that changes a visual appearance of a product image in the user interface to reflect its age or ownership duration is described. In one embodiment, a method includes determining one or more products owned by a user and an ownership period associated with an age or ownership duration of each product. The ownership period is compared to a product lifecycle for the product and, based on the comparison, one or more temporal effects are overlaid onto a base product image for the product. The one or more temporal effects change a visual appearance of the base product image in a user interface on a user device in communication with the unified product application to reflect the age or ownership duration of the product.

  • Patent number: 11175795
    Abstract: A method for dynamically displaying digital content, graphical user interface and a system thereof are provided. The graphical user interface displays multiple points of interest (POI) indicative of links of digital contents in a non-uniform arrangement. On a browsing page, the main POIs can be represented by thumbnails of associated digital contents on the interface. A user can browse the POIs and select one of the POIs via a touch-sensitive means, so as to play the digital contents. While selecting the POI, the POI becomes a center where the other POIs move toward that forms a converging animation effect. Afterwards, the digital contents associated to the selected POI are played sequentially on a playback page. The thumbnail of the POI is refreshed since some digital contents associated to the POI have been played when closing the playback page and returning to the browsing page.

  • Patent number: 11113241
    Abstract: The present specification discloses a blockchain computer application. This blockchain computer application includes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that supports the organization and blockchaining of files to a blockchain. This GUI includes a virtual blockchain organizational tool onto which users can drag and drop files and organize them into various virtual blockchain blocks without permanently attaching those files to an actual blockchain until the virtual blockchain is converted to an actual blockchain. The conversion process preserves the organizational structure of the files set within the virtual blockchain. Files may also be automatically blockchained to a specific blockchain by dragging them and dropping them onto a blockchain application desktop icon. Files may also be automatically blockchained to specific blockchains by dragging them and dropping them onto a blockchain icon within the GUI where each blockchain icon is directly associated with a separate blockchain.
