  • Publication number: 20240156395
    Abstract: Techniques for generating a user interface view including sensor data representative of analyte levels of a host are disclosed. In certain embodiments, a technique includes accessing sensor data including a plurality of analyte readings of the host during a plurality of time periods, wherein each analyte reading is indicative of an analyte level of the host at a respective time. The technique further includes generating a first user interface (UI) view comprising one or more UI elements based on the plurality of analyte levels of the host, and, in response to receiving a user selection of a pregnancy mode, automatically modifying a parameter of at least one UI element included in the one or more UI elements to reflect a pregnancy-specific parameter. The technique further includes generating a second UI view based on the plurality of analyte levels of the host and the pregnancy-specific parameter.

  • Patent number: 11748832
    Abstract: Various of the disclosed embodiments concern systems and methods for applying legal analytics. In some embodiments, a legal analytics platform retrieves legal data from an electronic database, analyzes some or all of the legal data, and identifies interesting patterns and results of statistical analyses. In order to permit searching of the legal data, metadata elements or tags can be generated for legal entities and legal events. In some embodiments, the legal analytics platform identifies timestamps in the legal data and performs time-based statistical analysis. Results of the statistical analyses can be presented to a user via a graphical user interface (GUI), which may also allow the user to interact with the legal analytics platform and search one or more databases of legal data.

  • Publication number: 20220417111
    Abstract: A plugin works with a remote desktop client that is executing on a client computing device to present a user interface of a communications application that is executing in a cloud computing environment. The plugin enables the remote desktop client to conduct audio and/or video communication with a remote computing device in a peer-to-peer manner rather than via the communications application. The plugin also enables the remote desktop client to determine a hardware-based media processing capability of the client computing device and leverage such capability in conducting the peer-to-peer audio and/or video communication with the remote computing device. Such hardware-based media processing capability may be used, for example, to process media received from the remote computing device, to process media captured from a media source of the client computing device, or as a basis for negotiating a media communication parameter with the remote computing device.
