  • Patent number: 11334233
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a color of an object displayed on a GUI. The method includes displaying on a graphical user interface a set of icons, each icon of the set being associated with a color, detecting a first user interaction on a first icon of the set, detecting a second user interaction that comprises at least a slide, modifying a value of a parameter of a first color associated with the first icon, the modification of the value being performed with the second user interaction, and computing a first new color that is the first color with the modified value of a parameter.

  • Patent number: 11314389
    Abstract: A vehicular electronic device includes a first communication circuit; a second communication circuit, a first display corresponding to a driver-seat and a second display corresponding to a non-driver seat, and a processor, wherein the processor is configured, upon receiving content via the first communication circuit, to determine a display to present the received content among the first display or the second display, upon determination that the first display is to present the received content, to determine, based on vehicle information received from the second communication circuit, whether a user is in a driving mode, upon determination that the user is in the driving mode, to identify a type of the received content, when the received content is of a first type, to present the received content on the first display, and when the received content is of a second type, not to present the received content on the first display.

  • Patent number: 11204654
    Abstract: A method for navigating a focus element for highlighting menu items of a menu bar on a screen by a deflection of an actuation device on a remote control, comprising detecting a first control signal dependent on a degree of deflection of the actuation device and a second control signal dependent on an actuation force with which the actuation device is deflected; and shifting the focus element and menu items relative to each other depending on a comparison of the second control signal and a predetermined condition, if the first control signal is detected.

  • Patent number: 11182057
    Abstract: The subject technology provides generating configuration files that represent user interaction scenarios on a device, the configuration files including a set of user interface (UI) elements to display and a set of interactions corresponding to user activity to perform on at least one UI element of the set of UI elements. The subject technology processes the configuration files using a relevance engine to determine a relevance score of each UI element of the set of UI elements, wherein the relevance score is based at least in part on weights assigned to features based on the user activity and respective variance values of the features, and the features include information related to a location or time. The subject technology generates a user simulation based machine learning model based at least on each relevance score of each UI element. The subject technology stores the user simulation based machine learning model on the device.

  • Patent number: 11010499
    Abstract: The current invention concerns a computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product for determining a position in a computer-aided design model. The model comprises a multitude of components. A list of at least two spatially extended and user-selected components is obtained. A cursor is displayed on a visualization means to indicate a position within the model. For each spatially extended component of the list, a distance indicator, indicating the smallest distance of said position to the component, is displayed via the visualization means. Upon providing position movement directions via the at least one user input device said position, said cursor location and said distance indicators are dynamically updated accordingly.

  • Patent number: 10852836
    Abstract: Techniques for visual transformation using a motion profile are described. According to one or more implementations, motion profiles are utilized that describe known motion patterns for different display devices. A motion profile for a particular display device, for example, can be leveraged for visually transforming visual objects that are displayed on the display device.
