  • Patent number: 12242867
    Abstract: Method, system for presenting an object on a computing device. A metaphor application on a computing device organizes a user interface based upon a metaphor. The metaphor organizes a document, file, application, or combination thereof based on geospheric direction, geolocation, or both. The metaphor may also organize a document, file, application, data, or a combination thereof based on a solid geometrical figure in three-dimensional Euclidean space. A document, file, application, or any combination thereof may be associated with geophysical direction, a geolocation, or both. The document, file, application, data, or any combination thereof may further be associated with a solid geometrical figure. A presentation object containing data on the document, file, application, data, or combination thereof, and the geospheric direction, geolocation, or both is formatted into data blocks for rendering on a display. The display may be the display screen of the computing device.

  • Patent number: 10352498
    Abstract: A tool for multi-positioning and holding a device without requiring a user's hands. In one embodiment, a tool, such as a robotic arm, is secured to a user's forearm, such as with a pair of hook-and-loop fasteners attached to the robotic arm that wrap around the arm and then are fastened to each other. The tool has many points of articulation and many degrees of freedom. The tool may include a telescoping or expandable section joined at its distal end with a device support member. The device support member may grasp a mobile device, a smart phone, a camera or other electronic or mechanical device. The device support member may be coupled to the expandable section or an extension member by one or more attitude mechanisms making it possible for a user to flip and orient the device by body motion into many positions or attitudes, as the user desires.
