  • Patent number: 11893340
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems to generate and display interactive graphical user interfaces that receive data inputs from users while emulating a chat session. A server retrieves a set of prompts associated with an electronic form; displays, within a webpage, a first element corresponding to a prompt and a second element having at least one input element configured to receive an input from a user interacting with the webpage. When the user interacts with an input element, the server relocates the first element and dynamically revises the second element by relocating the second element and displaying inputted values received from the user interacting with the at least one input element of the second element. The server then displays a third element comprising next prompts of the electronic form.

  • Publication number: 20240004521
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to managing and sharing contextually-relevant media content. In some embodiments, a device receives an input, and in response, displays a suggested collection of media items for sharing with a recipient, wherein the collection is relevant to a message conversation with the recipient. Subsequent to displaying the suggested collection, the device transmits a message to the recipient as part of the message conversation that provides access to the at least a portion of the suggested collection of media items. In some embodiments, a device receives an indication, from an external device, that a first user has shared a first collection of media items with a second user. Subsequent to receiving the indication that the first user has shared the first collection of media items with the second user, the device outputs a prompt to share, with the first user, one or more suggested media items.

  • Publication number: 20230290588
    Abstract: A manual opening mechanism for use with an isolation switch of a circuit interrupter is fully integrated into the circuit interrupter. The manual opening mechanism includes a rotating handle that is accessible from the front panel of the circuit interrupter. Rotating the handle applies force to the centerline of the isolation switch drive shaft, which prevents uneven loading and thus optimizes robustness during manual opening of the isolation switch. In addition, the handle has an ergonomic design, and is proportioned to minimize the force that an operator must apply to the handle in order to open the isolation switch.
