  • Patent number: 11875027
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention analyze a context in which a user interacts with a computer interface and automatically optimizes the interface for the context. The controller or control mode the user selects for interaction may define the context, in part. Examples of control modes include gesturing, audio control, use of companion devices, and use of dedicated control devices, such as game controllers and remote controls. The different input devices are designed for different tasks. Nevertheless, a user will frequently attempt to perform a task using a control input that is not adapted for the task. Embodiments of the present invention change the characteristics of the user interface to make it easier for the user to complete an intended task using the input device of the user's choice.

  • Patent number: 10154104
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing intelligent delivery of actionable content. Metadata that describes user activities at a computer system is analyzed to determine a need for actionable content. Actionable content is dynamically delivered to one or more client consoles when need for actionable content is presented. The actionable content may be presented in a number of forms, including links to, or the delivery of, video, text and/or image content. Actionable content may also include links or deliverable environments for enabling automatic engagement of a specific application scenario. The discovery and delivery of the actionable content may be improved by the use of one or more feedback mechanisms.
