  • Patent number: 12236253
    Abstract: Methods and corresponding systems and apparatuses for using keyboard input to configure targeted prompts in association with graphical elements of a software application being developed and to access the targeted prompts during runtime execution of the software application. A user interface of a builder application can include a first region and a second region. The first region displays options for configuring targeted prompts. The second region is a canvas region that displays a second user interface generated through execution of the software application. Keyboard input can include a shortcut that updates the user interface to switch between the first region and the second region and/or a shortcut that sequentially navigates between graphical elements that can be associated with targeted prompts. Other keyboard shortcuts can be made available for use with the builder application and/or during runtime execution of the software application.

  • Patent number: 11829927
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer program products for interactive deliveries are provided. For an upcoming service point that is associated with a service point device, it is determined whether the item to be delivered to the service point is within an activation zone for activating the service point device. Responsive to determining that the item is within the activation zone, the service point device is remotely activated. Remotely activating the service point device triggers dynamical provision of an alert interface. An indication of user interaction via the user interface indicating availability of the user to receive the item is received. A notification of the indication of the user interaction is provided. If the notification indicates that the individual is available to receive the item at the service point, the item is delivered to or picked-up from the service point.

  • Publication number: 20200379786
    Abstract: A system and method for navigating a modeling canvas used in software development accesses the modeling canvas at a starting active cell containing a node. The modeling canvas contains a grid pattern arranged in rows and columns of cells. Keyboard initiated control commands are received and executed to indicate and select a new active cell containing a node. An aural signal is generated with a screen reader in response to the selection of the new active cell. The aural signal communicates the contents of a label of the node within the new active cell to a user.

  • Publication number: 20080060480
    Abstract: A tool for removing a cap from a pest control device includes a hub and at least four fingers depending from the hub in circumferentially spaced relationship with each other to cooperatively define a socket for receiving the cap within the tool. The fingers are resiliently moveable transversely outward relative to the hub upon receiving the cap into the socket whereby the fingers are biased transversely inward against a sidewall of the cap when the cap is received in the socket. A plurality of stops extends from fewer than all of the fingers laterally inward of the socket. The stops are adapted for contacting a top of the cap upon receipt of the cap within the socket such that the fingers and stops cooperate to orient the tool on the cap.
