  • Patent number: 10748093
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present a calculated value within a card view presentation in order to overcome technical problems in presenting useful card view presentations on mobile computing devices. In some embodiments, the calculated value is a summary, analysis, or other type of information generated based on data associated with cards that are in a given lane. In some embodiments, further technical problems relating to the limitations of the interface of the mobile computing device in adjusting calculated view settings are addressed by presenting a simplified configuration interface. The simplified configuration interface presents a mobile-friendly view of limited configuration settings to allow the user to easily change settings relevant to the calculated value and/or the card view, and thereby adjust the card view despite the limitations of the interface of the mobile computing device.

  • Patent number: 10705714
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a card view interface of tabular data is provided that is suitable for presentation on small displays such as those found on mobile computing devices. Cards from a single lane are displayed, along with a set of lane indicators. In some embodiments, when a drag operation is detected on a card, a size of the set of lane indicators is increased in order to facilitate dropping of the card on an intended lane indicator, thus helping to overcome the technical limitations of small mobile computing device displays.
