  • Publication number: 20230108421
    Abstract: Methods and systems that allow a user to see the people or groups who have access to files that are maintained by a plurality of cloud content sharing services. In particular, the user may see what specific party has access to each particular file or directory, regardless of multiple cloud content sharing services involved. Moreover, a user interface and exposed application program interface allows the user to manipulate the permissions, e.g., granting access, to another person or group, to a file or directory. The user interface may also allow the user to terminate access to the file or directory for a person or group. The user's action to change a permission may be effected independently of the particular cloud content sharing service.

  • Patent number: 10735531
    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to cooperation among networked devices to obtain and use a multiple-frame screenshot. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a processor circuit executing a sequence causing the processor circuit to receive a signal conveying a context data; retrieve an aspect of a current context of the apparatus; compare the aspect to the context data; determine whether a context defined as appropriate exists to engage in interactions with one or more other computing devices through a network based on the comparison, the interactions comprising providing a network service to the one or more other computing devices; and engage in the interactions with one or more computing devices through the network when the appropriate context to engage in the interactions exists. Other embodiments are described and claimed herein.

  • Patent number: 9305093
    Abstract: A touchscreen-based user interface that allows the user to perform information searching on a mobile information appliance, such as a tablet computer or smart phone. By moving one or two fingers in appropriate direction(s) across the touchscreen, a search may be specified. Moreover, by using the appropriate gestures, a search may be broadened or narrowed by specifying additional search terms. This may be performed iteratively to allow the user to discover information, at various times narrowing or broadening a search.

  • Patent number: 5038098
    Abstract: A device for simultaneously displaying unrelated signals processes the signals separately prior to inputting them to a multiplexer. Under control of a microprocessor the multiplexer. Under control of a microprocessor the multiplexer switches between the processed signals to alternately pass the signals to the deflection circuits of an X-X display device at a rate which does not interfere with other frequencies used in the environment where the device is used.

  • Patent number: 4752868
    Abstract: A remote master-slave control method uses a single command line from a master instrument to a slave instrument. Commands executed at the master instrument are transmitted to the slave instrument via the single command line, and are in turn executed by the slave instrument only if an operator controlled input is "on" at the time of receipt of the command. For instrument setups a recall command from the master instrument will be executed by the slave instrument if the operator controlled input was "on" at the time the instrument setup was stored.
