  • Patent number: 10198171
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for specifying a desired range of values. An embodiment operates by displaying a range slider bar on a graphical user interface, and iteratively performing several steps. The steps include receiving a new position for a handle on the range slider bar, wherein the new position specifies a first range of values within a second range of values, partitioning the second range of values into a plurality of sub-ranges, wherein each sub-range comprises two boundary values. The steps further include determining a mapping between a set of accessible positions on the range slider bar and a plurality of values within the second range, wherein, for each sub-range, the difference of values assigned to consecutive accessible positions corresponding to the sub-range increases exponentially when moving from a boundary value of the sub-range to another boundary value of the sub-range.

  • Patent number: 8281248
    Abstract: Collaboration by a plurality of users in an application. The application may include processing logic and a user interface. The user interface may include at least one control element adapted to receive collaborative input, where the at least one control element may be linked to a collaboration utility. The collaboration utility may be adapted to generate the collaborative input for the control element based on the individual inputs of at least some of the plurality of users.
