  • Patent number: 11429264
    Abstract: A computer displays data sources associated with tables of data. The computer also displays data object icons, each representing a logical combination of tables. While displaying the data sources and the data object icons, the computer detects a portion of an input on a table. In response, the computer generates a candidate data object icon corresponding to the table. The computer also detects another portion of the input on the candidate data object icon. In response, the computer moves the candidate object icon towards the data object icons, while providing a visual cue connecting the candidate object icon to a neighboring data object icon. The computer detects yet another portion of the input, and, in response, displays a connection between the candidate object icon and the neighboring data object icon, and updates the tree of the one or more data object icons to include the candidate data object icon.

  • Patent number: 11321104
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to using cognitive automation for customized interface generation. A computing platform may receive user interaction information. Based on the user interaction information, the computing platform may identify a user intent. Using a cognitive automation model, the computing platform may identify a final graphical user interface corresponding to the user intent, where the final graphical user interface may be a last graphical user interface, of a sequence of graphical user interfaces, that was displayed at a user device to satisfy the user intent. The computing platform may send commands directing an enterprise source host system to cause display of the final graphical user interface without causing display of preceding graphical user interfaces of the sequence of graphical user interfaces. The computing platform may receive a feedback message indicating a level of satisfaction with the final graphical user interface and may update the cognitive automation model accordingly.
