  • Publication number: 20230385033
    Abstract: The programming notebook system, methods, and user interfaces described herein provide software developers with enhanced tools by which a programming notebook workflow and session history associated with code cells in a programming notebook may be tracked and maintained. As a developer progresses through a development workflow, the developer can select an option to save a program code card representing some or all of the program code cell inputs. A card editor user interface may present an aggregated listing of all program code the developer has provided across multiple code cells during the current session which the developer can edit, refine, and/or comment. The card editor may also allow the developer to add associated user interface code to display a UI component associated with the program code card, and allow the developer to add a description and tags for the card so that the card can be searched for and reused.

  • Publication number: 20200326823
    Abstract: An interactive, graph-based user interaction data analysis system is disclosed. The system is configured to provide analysis and graphical visualizations of user interaction data to a system operator. In various embodiments, interactive visualizations and analyses provided by the system may be based on user interaction data aggregated across particular groups of users, across particular time frames, and/or from particular computer-based platforms and/or applications. According to various embodiments, the system may enable insights into, for example, user interaction patterns and/or ways to optimize for desired user interactions, among others. In an embodiment, the system allows an operator to analyze and investigate user interactions with content provided via one or more computer-based platforms, software applications, and/or software application editions.

  • Patent number: 10678860
    Abstract: Datasets are annotated with metadata including categories. Each category corresponds to one or more fields. A hierarchy mapping is generated to indicate a hierarchical relationship between different categories. A natural language query specifies a first granularity level indicating a particular category and one or more field values corresponding to the particular category. Based on the hierarchy mapping, one or more categories that are hierarchically related to the particular category are identified. Based on the metadata, two or more datasets that include at least one hierarchically related category is selected. Based on the first granularity level, one or more dataset filters are generated. The one or more dataset filters are translated to a second granularity level corresponding to the at least one hierarchically related category. The translated filters are applied to at least one of the selected datasets. The two or more datasets are joined to generate a composite dataset.

  • Patent number: 9606647
    Abstract: For storing gesture definitions and evaluating expressions that reference the gesture definitions, an expression evaluation engine evaluates the expressions to determine whether movements of a user satisfy the expressions. The expression evaluation engine receives expressions in user or application requests, or the expression evaluation engine may automatically evaluate the expressions when a gesture recognition system receives updated information about tracked body parts of the user. An expression includes a logical operator that relates different conditions to each other, and the different conditions may reference different gestures or other criteria that are based on the tracked body parts of the user. The expression is satisfied when the logical operator is satisfied. If an expression is satisfied, the expression evaluation engine triggers an action associated with a corresponding gesture definition. An example gesture may trigger display and navigation of a pie menu.
