Patents by Inventor Francisco Alvarez Cavazos

Francisco Alvarez Cavazos has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10048985
    Abstract: Techniques for estimating time remaining for an operation are described. Examples operations include file operations, such as file move operations, file copy operations, and so on. A wide variety of different operations may be considered in accordance with the claimed embodiments, further examples of which are discussed below. In at least some embodiments, estimating a time remaining for an operation can be based on a state of the operation. A state of an operation, for example, can be based on events related to the operation itself, such as the operation being initiated, paused, resumed, and so on. A state of an operation can also be based on events related to other operations.

  • Patent number: 9613395
    Abstract: Techniques for operation chart rescaling are described. In at least some embodiments, an operations chart is provided that tracks various parameters for an operation. The operations chart can include visual indicia of operation parameters, such as an operation value indicator that indicates a current operation value. A progress indicator can also be included that provides a visual indication of operation progress. In response to a change in an operation value for the operations chart (e.g., a change in data rate), the operations chart can be rescaled to visually reflect the change in operation value. In at least some implementations, techniques are employed to smooth visual movement of chart elements during a rescaling operation.

  • Publication number: 20140172372
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a performance metric tracker may show an operation performance metric in context with an operation performance history to a user. The performance metric tracker may track a current operation performance metric of the data resource operation. The performance metric tracker may maintain an operation performance history for a data resource operation. The performance metric tracker may present the current operation performance metric in relation to the operation performance history to a user.
