Publication number: 20240111473Abstract: A distributed display method provides different parts of an application interface that are collaboratively displayed on a plurality of terminals, so that manners for collaborative display between the plurality of terminals are more flexible and richer. A first terminal displays a first interface including a first part and a second part. When the first terminal detects that a preset condition is met, the first terminal displays a second interface, where the second interface includes the first part and does not include the second part; and the first terminal notifies a second terminal to display a third interface, where the third interface includes the second part and does not include the first part.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Zhen Wang, Bo Qiang, Bingxin Sun, Yanan Zhang, Hongjun Wang, Junjie Si, Mengzheng Hua, Gang Li, Cheng Luo, Xiaoxiao Duan, Wei Li, Chao Xu

Patent number: 11337637Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and techniques for analyzing and applying features of a T-wave derived from an electrocardiogram. A computing system can receive a set of data that characterizes an electrocardiogram of a patient. The system can analyze the set of data to identify a T-wave that occurs in the electrocardiogram. The system can determine values of one or more features of the T-wave and provide the information that identifies the values of the one or more features of the T-wave to a user.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and ResearchInventors: Peter A.

Patent number: 11182213Abstract: Managing applications in light of user use habits is disclosed. An indication that an application has been switched from a foreground environment to a background environment is detected. User historical use information associated with the application is accessed. Based at least in part on the user historical use information, it is determined that the application is not likely to be switched to the foreground environment. In response to the determination that the application is not likely to be switched to the foreground environment, one or more resources associated with the application are recycled.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: BANMA ZHIXING NETWORK (HONGKONG) CO., LIMITEDInventor: Bo Qiang
