  • Patent number: 11914774
    Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically determining the flow of screens to be presented in a user interface (UI) of an application executing on a computing device, based at least partly on a detected presence of a user device (e.g., a portable computing device) in a particular geographic area. Area designation data is transmitted to, and stored on, a user device. The area designation data can describe a geofenced area and/or beacon signals. In response to determining that the user device is in the geographic area indicated by the area designation data, the user device may transmit an alert signal that causes an interface flow to be dynamically determined and executed for an application executing on the computing device that is separate from the user device.

  • Patent number: 10424399
    Abstract: A device comprising a display, a user interface configured to receive gesture input, and a processor is provided. The device is configured to electronically detect, with the user interface, at least one gesture input from the user in an approximately circular motion that traces a substantially closed curve without corners about a point on the user interface. The device is configured to display, on a portion of the display, a polygonal shaped chemical structure symbol representing a polygonal ring of carbon atoms in response to the detecting, the polygonal ring having a set number of vertices representing a set number of carbon atoms. A non-transient computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that cause a device comprising a display, a user interface configured to receive gesture input, and a processor to perform a method is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20170351846
    Abstract: Gestures for creating chemical structures on a touch screen device include circular motions, check marks, and swipes that cause a touch screen enabled device to display symbols representing chemical structures or related information in response to the gestures.

  • Patent number: 6907876
    Abstract: The present invention relates to dispensing apparatus comprising a housing (10) for receiving a pressurised container (15) containing product for dispensation, series of markings (172) indicative of quantities of product in the container, indicator means (160; 200) for indicating one of the markings of the series, and means for effecting relative movement between the indicator means and the series of markings on actuation of the pressurised container, so as to designate a subsequent marking of the series.
