  • Patent number: 10904104
    Abstract: The technology provides for providing an interactive user interface to explore a complete network, see relationships with various aspects of the network, and drill down to details in an instinctive manner. In some embodiments, network component data is received that identifies metrics associated with network components. A graphical user interface made up of representations of network components of a network is presented, where the network components are selectable. Relevant network components are displayed at varying network scales by receiving an input selecting a first representation of a first network component at a first network level. Based on a network component relationship between the first representation of the first network component and a second relationship of a second network component, second network component data is received that identifies one or more metrics associated with the second network component. The second network component is at a second network level.

  • Patent number: 10845965
    Abstract: Known computer peripheral devices are typically interchangeable and can be used with different computers systems and platforms. Most computer operating systems are able to automatically configure the coupled computer peripheral device for use with the computer operating system without the need for installation of a specific driver. However, when these peripheral devices are detected by the computer system, a generic UI control configuration is often assigned to them and whatever customised settings previously configured by the user will be lost and replaced with a new set of unfamiliar settings. The present technology is a collaboration management system initiating a collaboration session for a plurality of computing systems having user-interfaces (UIs) coupled thereto.
