Patent number: 11600191Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for validating honesty of a student taking an online test. A camera is used to detect and monitor the test taker's eye movements and eye gaze positions during the taking of the test to ensure the test taker is looking only at the computer display showing the questions and answer choices to the test taker. A microphone is incorporated into, placed on, or in the vicinity of the computer display and the system compares audio received to recorded voice of the test taker to detect another voice. Other voices and eye movement beyond the display screen may be flagged as indicative of dishonest test taking.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Gleim Internet, Inc.Inventors: Garrett William Gleim, Samuel Rene Caldwell, James Mentz, Shujian Yu

Patent number: 10943374Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for supporting an object reshaping feature in software applications. In an implementation, an application receives an input stroke on a canvas in a user interface to the application. The input stroke originates with an instrument-down action on the canvas, terminates with an instrument-up action on the canvas, and comprises a leading component. The application monitors for interactions to occur between the leading component of the input stroke and objects on the canvas during the input stroke. When an interaction occurs between the leading component and an object on the canvas, the application reshapes the object during the input stroke to reflect the interaction.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2017Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventor: Garrett William Brown
