  • Patent number: 11094222
    Abstract: Embodiments describe an approach for concurrently managing a video display and an application user interface. Embodiments describe generating a translucent mask video display over a computer-implemented application and displaying a video in the translucent mask video display over the computer-implemented application. Additionally, embodiments describe detecting user activity associated with the computer-implemented application and pausing the video in the translucent mask video display when the user activity is detected. Responsive to an end to the user activity, embodiments describe translating the detected user activity as a set of computer operations, outputting the set of computer operations for performance on the computer-implemented application, and resuming the video in the translucent mask video display.

  • Patent number: 10649905
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for storing data. A specific embodiment of the method includes: judging whether a remaining storage space in a compressed data page is greater than a storage space threshold, in response to to-be-stored data to be written to the compressed data page in a cache storage region of a database; if not, determining a non-compressed data page among the non-compressed data pages for generating the compressed data page; and compressing the determined non-compressed data page to generate the compressed data page. This embodiment achieves the generation of the compressed data page in advance, such that each time the data is written to the compressed data page, it is ensured that there is enough storage space in the compressed data page to store the written data, thus reducing the system overhead when writing the data to the compressed data page, enhancing the writing efficiency of the system.
