  • Patent number: 11468353
    Abstract: A monitor provides run time monitoring of the input values to a signature analyzer having a machine-learning engine to compare statistics measuring the domain of those input values to the domain of input values used in the training set of the machine-learning engine. This comparison yields an indication of whether retraining of the machine-learning engine is required without analysis of the output of the machine-learning engine algorithm or the need for errors to become manifest.

  • Patent number: 11461002
    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a computer-implemented method for use in conjunction with a device with a touch screen display is disclosed. In the method, a movement of an object on or near the touch screen display is detected. In response to detecting the movement, an electronic document displayed on the touch screen display is translated in a first direction. If an edge of the electronic document is reached while translating the electronic document in the first direction while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display, an area beyond the edge of the document is displayed. After the object is no longer detected on or near the touch screen display, the document is translated in a second direction until the area beyond the edge of the document is no longer displayed.

  • Patent number: 11449804
    Abstract: A central database system trains a machine-learned model based on training data identifying characteristics of account holder entities, characteristics of account provider entities, and relationships between the account holder entities and account provider entities. For a target entity, the central database system then identifies a target set of account provider entities, and applies the trained machine-learned model to identify a subset of the target set of account provider entities. The identified subset of account provider entities are entities that, if recommended to the target entity, are most likely to result in an established relationship with the target entity. A recommendation is then generated for display to the target entity, the recommendation identifying the subset of account provider entities and including interface elements that, if selected by the target entity, cause a notification identifying the target entity to be sent to a corresponding account provider entity.

  • Patent number: 11440483
    Abstract: A system and method that pertain to a rotating vehicle display unit that can automatically or manually rotate between landscape and portrait orientations, depending on the particular display format or media being shown to the vehicle occupants. The rotating vehicle display unit uses an electro-mechanical rotating and locking mechanism with smart fluid, such as magnetorheological fluid (MR), to facilitate easy and precise rotational movement between different display orientations. The rotating vehicle display unit may be coupled to a corresponding human-machine interface (HMI) that responds to the different display orientations and helps facilitate easy transition from one orientation to another in order to optimize the particular display format or media being shown at that time.

  • Patent number: 11423326
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an experimentation framework for a computational environment in a distributed system. A machine-learning model may be created that predicts at least one output produced by the computational environment based on at least one input provided to the computational environment. During an evaluation time period that is subsequent to at least one modification being made to the computational environment, at least one modified output produced by the computational environment may be determined. The machine-learning model may be used to calculate at least one predicted output that would have been produced by the computational environment during the evaluation time period if the at least one modification had not been made. A determination may also be made about how the at least one modification affected the computational environment based on a comparison of the at least one modified output and the at least one predicted output.

  • Patent number: 11416225
    Abstract: A modeling system may generate a function model and a corresponding functional complexity score (FCS) for display on a graphical user interface (GUI). The FCS may be calculated by looping through each level of the function model and determining a score based on both hierarchical relationships and functional relationships within the function model at each level. The modeling system may constantly monitor for additional inputs representative of an additional function or changes to current functions and automatically update the FCS displayed on the GUI based on the additional inputs.

  • Patent number: 11379189
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to automatically synthesizing user interface (UI) component instances. In disclosed techniques a computer system receives a set of existing UI elements and a set of design rules for the set of existing elements, where design rules in the set of design rules indicate one or more allowed states for respective UI elements in the set of existing UI elements. The one or more allowed states may correspond to one or more visual characteristics. Using the set of existing UI elements, the computer system may then automatically generate a plurality of UI component instances based on the set of design rules, where a respective UI component instance includes a first UI element in a first allowed state. The computer system may then train, using the plurality of UI component instances, a machine learning model operable to automatically generate UI designs.

  • Patent number: 11362909
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for managing slices in a Telco network by using a graphical user interface (“GUI”) with augmented reality (“AR”). A user device can scan a code that is related to physical hardware in a datacenter. Based on the code, the GUI can display at least one virtual component that resides on that hardware. The user can move the virtual component from one slice to another, such as by dragging it to a displayed slice region. Similarly, the user can drag the virtual component to new physical hardware. This can cause an AR engine to contact an orchestrator to route traffic to the virtual component according to the new slice identifier and new hardware. The GUI can also provide a datacenter map to related physical or virtual components, allowing the user to locate and inspect other hardware relied on by a slice.
