  • Publication number: 20240242236
    Abstract: An interactive vehicle conjoint study survey system includes a first virtual machine including an application server operating a management program generating, modifying and saving conjoint environment survey content for access by a survey taker. A choice task content list is generated by the management program and is reviewed and completed by the survey taker. A reader program of the first virtual machine identifies survey taker choices selected from the choice task content list to be displayed. A survey taker interface is formatted to conform to an interface window completely displayed on a screen of a survey taker device defining a smart phone displays the survey taker choices.

  • Publication number: 20240168622
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a computing device, a transcription of an audio recording, where the transcription is divided into a plurality of text sections. The method additionally includes associating one or more tags with each text section of the plurality of text sections, where each associated tag is extracted from text of the transcription. The method also includes selecting a subset of the plurality of text sections based at least on the one or more tags associated with each text section of the plurality of text sections. The method further includes providing, for display on the computing device, a representation of the transcription and a scroller interface, where the scroller interface allows for navigation to each text section in the subset based on user navigation to a tag associated with the text section.

  • Patent number: 7777777
    Abstract: A video call monitor manager creates a video call monitor engine for initiated video calls between plural video devices with the video call monitor engine having a monitoring thread for each video device of the video call, the monitor threads periodically polling their associated video devices for quality of service and state information to automatically detect quality of service threshold rule violations and state changes for broadcast to interested locations, such as video network administrators monitoring the video call. Each video call monitor engine monitors a video call state with a nested state machine structure of device state machines, device monitor state machines and call segment state machines nested to define a call state machine as a video call is initiated, with the call state machine monitoring the video call throughout its life so that interesting call state changes and quality of service changes are detected and broadcast to monitoring clients.

  • Patent number: 7349000
    Abstract: The status of a video call is displayed in a simplified and intuitive graphical user interface that presents status information of individual video devices of the video call with graphical or color indications with a gauge metaphor, such as a vertically or horizontally aligned bar of icons. Each video device of the video call is represented by an icon having a display position or color so that the icons are arranged to depict video devices together that have similar states. For instance, a video call is represented by a bar of icons ordered by the status of each video device with icons having the same color located contiguous with each other so that a video call with an overall good status appears as a green bar and a video call with an overall poor status appears as a red bar with red icons indicating failed video devices. A summary icon summarizes the overall state of a video call by indicating the color or graphical information of the video device of the video call that has the problem of greatest concern.
