Mark D. VICKSTROM has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9996251
    Abstract: A method for sharing a view presented on a touchscreen of a processing system. Whether a show gesture state is enabled on the processing system and whether a gesture event gate is open on the processing system are determined. The show gesture state determines whether a gesture detected by the touchscreen is depicted onto a version of the view shared with another processing system. The gesture event gate determines whether a corresponding gesture event is passed to an application that is active in the view.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8972946
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to test case maintenance for user interfaces. In one embodiment, user source and test cases are linked for test case maintenance. A link is determined to have been created between a user interface and at least one test script. The test script includes a set of test instructions. The user interface includes a set of user interface elements. Each test instruction is run against the user interface. Mapping information for each test instruction is generated. A change is determined to have occurred in at least one of the user interface and the test script. In response to a change having occurred to the user interface, at least one test instruction affected by the change is identified. In response to a change having occurred to the test script, at least one user interface element affected by the change to the test script is identified.

  • Patent number: 8799866
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate automatically generating and positioning user interface elements. In one embodiment, user interface elements are automatically generated and positioned on a user interface. At least one test script associated with a user interface is received as an input. The test script includes a set of test instructions. Each test instruction in the set of test instructions is parsed. A set of user interface elements referenced by each test instruction is identified in response to the parsing. A determination is made as to whether the user interface includes the set of user interface elements. At least one user interface element in the set of user interface elements is generated in response to the user interface failing to include the at least one user interface element.
