Patent number: 11635946Abstract: A method of analyzing graphical user interface (GUI) objects. The method can include dynamically scanning attributes assigned to various GUI objects assigned to a view of a GUI in order to identify attributes associated with each of the GUI objects. For each of the GUI objects, a list of attributes can be generated. A determination can be made as to whether at least one of the GUI objects has a list of attributes that does not correspond to lists of attributes for other GUI objects. When at least one GUI object has a list of attributes that does not correspond to lists of attributes for other GUI objects, an identifier can be output. The identifier can indicate that the GUI object has the list of attributes that does not correspond to the lists of attributes for the other GUI objects.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2018Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Chris L. Doughty, Bryant G. Luk, Brian P. Preston

Patent number: 11449304Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an audio device include a system provider device that retrieves, through a network, audio device information for at least one audio device. The system provider device also receives an indication of a triggered alert from at least one of a plurality of devices. In various embodiments, the system provider device determines an alert type corresponding to the received indication of the triggered alert. In addition, the system provider device modifies an audio setting of the at least one audio device based on the determined alert type. In some examples, the system provider device further modifies the audio setting of the at least one audio device to return the modified audio setting of the at least one audio device to a pre-modified setting.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Bryant G. Luk, Christopher D. O'Toole, Robert He, Yu Tang, Jennifer T. Brenner, Leith Shabbot, Ananya Das, Jason Ziaja
