  • Patent number: 11064264
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product to perform an intelligent rewind function includes: identifying one or more events that occur during playback of media content; identifying an interrupt event in the one or more events, where the interrupt event is an event that is estimated to be disruptive to a user consuming the media content; locating an event time on a timeline of the media content, where the event time is associated with the interrupt event; and reverting the media content to a rewind time in the timeline, where the rewind time is associated with the event time.

  • Patent number: 10831331
    Abstract: A computing device and computer automated method for controlling the display of application windows on a computer screen. A background process monitors a user's interaction with applications running on the computing device. The background process logs aspects of the user's interaction with applications, each application being associated with a window. The log is analyzed to detect the presence of a pattern in the user's interaction between any two applications, in particular repeated switching between two applications. If the pattern is detected, then the windows are reconfigured to present one of the windows as a picture-in-picture window within the other window. The automated switching to the picture-in-picture display of the two application windows ensures both windows are visible at the same time without the user having to reconfigure the windows manually.

  • Patent number: 10628499
    Abstract: Method and system for providing hyperlinks in a presentation to be viewed remotely are provided. A presenter computer system provides a presentation capable of being transmitted as presentation data to remote viewer computer systems. A display area content of a display area of the presentation is determined and link information obtained relating to one or more hyperlinks in the display area content including a link destination for each hyperlink. The link information is provided for transmission in association with the presentation data for the display area content in order to display corresponding hyperlinks at the displayed presentation at a viewer computer system.
