  • Patent number: 10817582
    Abstract: A system, method, and electronic device for providing concomitant augmentation via learning interstitials for publications includes activating a scan mode, where the scan mode causes a camera to capture image data; determining the presence of a publication captured in the image data; and analyzing the image data to determine the presence of an augmented reality (AR) identifier. In response to identifying the presence of the AR identifier within the publication captured in the image data, the image data and an AR link that corresponds to the AR identifier is displayed as an AR overlay to the image data of the publication. In response to failing to identify the AR identifier within the publication, a user is prompted to input a page number of the publication; and the AR link that corresponds to the page number of the publication input by the user is displayed in a list view.

  • Patent number: 10817534
    Abstract: Systems and methods for interest-driven data visualization systems are illustrated. The system includes a processor and a memory configured to store an interest-driven data visualization application. The application configures the processor to obtain reporting data including a plurality of datasets from an interest-driven business intelligence server system; generate visualization rendering data for the datasets based on associations between visualization metadata and the datasets; and generate visualization image data based on the visualization rendering data. The visualization image data is displayable using and includes visual representations of at least a portion of the reporting data. Pieces of the visualization image data correspond to master and slave visualizations.

  • Publication number: 20160379148
    Abstract: In accordance with disclosed embodiments of the invention, a business intelligence server system receives telemetry data from an interest-driven business intelligence visualization system. The telemetry data includes an action for manipulating data. The telemetry data for an action is added to current workflow data. The current workflow data includes a sequential list of actions performed on the data. The current workflow data is compared to stored workflow data. One or more possible subsequent actions to perform on the data are determined based upon the comparison of the current workflow data to stored workflow data that includes workflow data for multiple workflows, and provides the one or more possible subsequent actions to perform on the data to the interest-driven business intelligence visualization system.

  • Patent number: 9299092
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a digital data specification of a compound advertisement comprising a plurality of ad units is received at an advertisement delivery server computer, where the digital data specification of the compound advertisement specifies one or more sequential dependencies between one or more ad units of the plurality of ad units and a bid value for each ad unit of the plurality of ad units. Based at least in part on a particular sequential dependency of the first ad unit upon a second ad unit of the same compound advertisement and a bid value associated with the first ad unit, a first ad unit of the compound advertisement is selected for display at a separate user computing device using the advertisement delivery server computer. The first ad unit is caused to display at the particular user computing device.

  • Patent number: 9182882
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer-readable storage device is configured to perform three-dimensional (3D) modeling. A modeling tool is activated in a 3D modeling application executing on a multi-touch device. An input touch event and input gesture for creating a new 3D geometric form is received. Dynamically, in real-time as the input gesture is received, the new 3D geometric form is created and displayed. The shape of the new 3D geometric form corresponds to the input gesture.
