  • Patent number: 11947909
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for determining a language of a text string are presented. A language detection model may be maintained. The language detection model may comprise identities and weights for initial and final consonants, identities and weights for prefixes and suffixes, and identities and weights for vowel sequences, where each identity is derived from a training corpus. The weights may correspond to a frequency of a text unit in the corpus. A text string may be received and a match score between the text string and the language of the language detection model may be determined. The match score may be based on initial and final consonant scores, prefix and suffix scores, and/or vowel sequence scores for each word in the text string. If the match score meets a threshold value a follow-up action associated with the language may be performed.

  • Patent number: 11734032
    Abstract: A desktop switcher provides equally convenient user interface navigational access to remote virtual desktops as to local virtual desktops for reliable and convenient human-computer interaction. Underlying mechanisms transparently confirm remote computer availability and compatibility, transfer thumbnails between computers, and support remoting sessions. Virtual desktops may share a clipboard, a geographic location setting, and application thumbnails, despite being based on computers that are remote from one another, e.g., when only one of a session's computers resides in a cloud. Virtual desktop context menus may be shown and utilized remotely. A visual separator in the desktop switcher may distinguish local virtual desktops from remote virtual desktops.

  • Publication number: 20220414334
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for filtering predictive text surfacing candidates are provided. A predictive text filtering model may be maintained. The predictive text filtering model may comprise a plurality of terms that are associated in the predictive text filtering model with a precarious classification, and a range of a number of words for filtering cooccurrences of precarious and other precarious or blocklist terms from the plurality of terms. A text input may be processed with a predictive text model. A plurality of surfacing candidates may be determined based on the processing of the text input with the predictive text model. The predictive text filtering model may be applied to a surfacing candidate of the plurality of candidates. The surfacing candidate may be filtered from further processing. At least one non-filtered surfacing candidate may be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20190037035
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying personal signals of a target person are presented. More particularly, content is captured and or monitored on a local computing device of the target person. Personal signals of the target person are identified and a comparison to personal signals in a personal profile record of the target person is made to identify a delta of personal signals representing those signals that are not included in the personal profile record. The delta of personal signals is uploaded to a remotely located personal assistance service where they may be added to the personal profile record of the target person and the updated personal profile record of the target person is returned to the local computing device.

  • Patent number: 9015624
    Abstract: A floating command object is provided for offering a set of commonly or frequently used commands in close proximity to a selected text, data or other object in a document. When a given object is selected for editing, the floating object automatically displays near the object to allow easy selection of relevant commands such as formatting property commands. The object remains displayed to allow multiple command selections until it is closed by user action. If a mouse or touchpad pointer is moved away from the displayed object, the displayed object becomes increasingly translucent to visually deemphasize the relevance of the object to the new position of the pointer.

  • Patent number: 8117542
    Abstract: An improved user interface is provided for displaying selectable functionality controls that identifies the context of the object to which the user interface is relevant, which contains rich functionality controls for applying contextually relevant functionality to a selected object, and which may be efficiently switched to a different context for applying a different set of functionalities to a different or neighboring editable object. A context menu of functionalities is displayed adjacent to a selected object where the menu of functionalities includes functionalities associated with editing the selected object. The context menu includes an identification of the object context and a control for selectively changing the context and associated functionalities of the menu to a different object context for displaying a different set of functionalities associated with the different context.

  • Publication number: 20020113810
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for supplying error information and tip information in an accessible and non-interruptive manner by displaying both the error information and the tip information as static text or markers next to a data field into which the user is inputting text. Presentation of the tip information is provided when the user focuses on a given data field. If an error is detected in the data entered by the user, an error marker is placed next to the data field containing the erroneous data. Once the user refocuses on the erroneous field, tip information is once again displayed to assist the user in properly completing the field. The tip information displayed to the user after an error is detected may be tailored to fit the error.
