  • Wiring method for a graphical programming system on a touch-based mobile device
    Patent number: 9134895
    Abstract: A touch-gesture wiring method for connecting data flow wires to input/output terminals of nodes in a graphical program is described. The method may be implemented by a graphical programming application that executes on a mobile device that includes a touch-sensitive screen configured to receive user input as touch gestures. The method may aid the user by displaying a magnified view of the input/output terminals that makes it easier (relative to the default view of the graphical program) for the user to see the input/output terminals and/or easier to select a desired one of the input/output terminals.

  • Edit time analyzer in a loosely typed textual language
    Patent number: 8539443
    Abstract: Analyzing code written in a loosely typed language. User input specifying code for a script may be received. The specified code may be analyzed. More specifically, one or more code portions referenced by the specified code may be determined. Properties of symbols of the specified code and the one or more code portions may also be determined. Additionally, the specified code may be analyzed using the determined properties to determine errors in the specified code. Accordingly, one or more errors may be graphically indicated based on said analyzing. Receiving the user input, analyzing the specified code, and graphically indicating the one or more errors may be performed at edit time.
