  • Patent number: 11693537
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system are provided for window placement in a visual display of a data processing system. A computer gathers data of user preferences of size and position of windows in a visual display through use of the visual display, wherein windows relate to resources accessed by a user of the data processing system. Upon a new display action, the computer determines a current context of the visual display, wherein the current context includes existing windows in the visual display. The computer applies the data of user preferences to the new display action to provide an updated display context, wherein the applying includes influencing one or more sizes and one or more positions of one or more windows in the visual display.

  • Patent number: 11408966
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of location identification using a single beacon. The method comprises determining a first distance between a beacon and a first sensor, where the first sensor is embedded in a mobile device. It also includes determining a second distance between the beacon and a second sensor, where the second sensor is embedded in the mobile device. The method also includes defining a vector, where the vector has a magnitude equal to the distance between the first and second sensor, and a direction pointing from the first sensor to the second sensor. The method further includes calculating a plurality of potential locations. The method then determines the actual location.

  • Patent number: 10902541
    Abstract: A digital image can be watermarked by a computer-implemented method. An image analysis process can be performed on the digital image to identify an area of the digital image containing at least one predetermined object. Watermark information representative of content of the identified area can be generated, and a digital watermark containing the generated watermark information can be subsequently watermarked/overlaid onto the digital image.
