Patent number: 12118576Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods generating a survey response based on an analysis of a communication provided by a user. The systems and methods may include receiving a data package sent in response to detecting a trigger event performed by a user, analyzing the data package to determine a user identification for the user, a user input, or an event type, and based on the analysis of the data package, identifying a first survey inquiry within a first electronic survey. Furthermore, the systems and methods may include formatting the first survey inquiry in an instant messenger format, providing, via an instant messenger platform, the formatted first survey inquiry to an instant messenger communication thread associated with the user, receiving an instant message response, and based on the instant message response, generating a survey response to the first survey inquiry.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: Qualtrics, LLCInventors: Milind Kopikare, Jeffrey Scott Whiting, Ayushman Dutta, Alexia Newgord

Patent number: 11890505Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting gestures of a swimmer in an aquatic environment such as a flume pool. In one embodiment, a pool system includes a set of cameras, one of which is an overhead camera positioned above the water in the pool to capture images of a swimmer. The system also includes computer processors, such as a GPU, CPU, and game engine which implement a computer vision platform. The processors are configured to receive images from the cameras, determine the swimmer's body position from the images, detect a defined gesture in the swimmer's body position, and in response to detecting the defined gesture, invoking a corresponding control operation of the flume pool, such as controlling water flow through the pool or updating an interface display which is projected onto the interior surfaces of the pool.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Real Big Waves LLCInventors: George Reid Evans, Jeffrey Scott White, Marcelo Ortega, Enzo Pacilio

Patent number: 11113448Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to presenting and synchronizing views of electronic document. In particular, a view management system can synchronize and present multiple synchronized views of an electronic document for display on a client device. For example, the view management system can present multiple views of an electronic document and bind one or more of the views with a model. In response to detecting a user interaction with respect to a view, the view management system can cause a client device to apply the user interaction to each of multiple views (e.g., each view that is bound to the model). By synchronizing views, the view management system can enable a user to conveniently observe how one or more user interactions with respect to a view would appear across multiple views of an electronic document.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: QUALTRICS, LLCInventors: Sterling Williams, Jeffrey Scott Whiting, Kyle James Seely, Jason R.

Patent number: 10832630Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to providing electronic survey content to a user in accordance with a particular layout. In particular, a survey system facilitates providing survey questions of an electronic survey to a user within a display area of a client device in accordance with a determined layout based on one or more features of the display area. For example, the survey system associates a plurality of layouts with one or more survey questions. Further, the survey system provides the survey questions and associated layout to a client device for presentation to a user. The client device identifies one or more features of a display area and determines a layout from the plurality of layouts to use in providing the survey question(s) to the user. Further, the client device provides one or more survey questions to a user within the display area in accordance with a determined layout.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: QUALTRICS, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Scott Whiting, Brett Bradley Campbell, Lance Thomas Winward
