  • Patent number: 10296168
    Abstract: A method for a multi-step selection interface is provided including receiving a multistep selection indication, causing, using a processing circuitry, a first selection menu extending in a first direction to be rendered on a display, receiving a first selection indication based on the first selection menu, in response to receiving the first selection indication; causing a second selection menu to be rendered on the display, extending in the first direction in substantially the same position of the display as the first selection menu, and causing a rendering of at least a portion of the first menu to be displaced in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 10186059
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to representing radio frequency (RF) signals in a visualization using particle bursts. In one scenario, a computer system instantiates RF signal sources in a virtualization, where each RF signal source is configured to emit RF signals. The computer system then generates a stream of particle bursts to represent at least one of the emitted RF signals, and provides a visualization that shows the instantiated RF signal sources along with the generated particle bursts representing the emitted RF signals. In some cases, the visualization may be used to illustrate an anti-access, aerial denial (A2AD) environment. In other cases, the visualization may be used to illustrate network communications using particles, where each particle represents network data packets.

  • Patent number: 7237240
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for dynamically populating a list of most used execution points in a graphical user interface of an operating system based upon the utilization behavior of a user. One embodiment provides for depicting a list of execution points to most used programs by determining a list of eligible programs, tracking the usage of the eligible programs in a usage list, taking into account chronological order of the activation of the programs and determining which programs in the usage list have the most usage. These programs then have execution points placed on a displayed most used list in the graphical user interface.
