    Abstract: A system for relationship information evaluation and management. The system incorporates relationship quality parameters that define the contextual parameters of quality, which are mutually validated and are accepted by the respective parties within an existing or prospective relationship. A computer, computing device, written documents or other means are used to capture the perspectives of each person, representative, or entity within the relationship or prospective relationship. This can be done automatically, on a random, periodic, or scheduled basis, or upon manual initiation. The information or data may then be analyzed and coalesced into a meaningful whole (or segments thereof), which may then be archived, printed, reported, and presented to one or both of the parties, or others.

    Abstract: A display method for an electronic device including a first display area and a second display area. In the method, the electronic device determines a first application mode, adjusts, based on the first application mode, intensity values of color channels, stored in a hardware composer (HWC), determines, using the HWC, each first layer corresponding to the first display area, and overlays, using the HWC, the first layer and a background color layer corresponding to adjusted intensity values of the color channels. In an overlay process, the background color layer is located below the first layer, and the background color layer corresponds to the second display area. Then, the display is used to display an overlaid image.

  • Patent number: 11977960
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a workflow application generates and evaluates designs that reflect stylistic preferences. In operation, the workflow application determines a target style based on input received via a graphical user interface (GUI). Notably, the target style characterizes a first set of designs. The workflow application then generates stylized design(s) based on stylization algorithm(s) associated with the target style. Subsequently, the workflow application, displays a subset of the stylized design(s) via the GUI. A stylized design included in the subset of stylized design(s) is ultimately selected for production via the GUI. Advantageously, because the workflow application can substantially increase the number of designs that can be generated and evaluated based on the target style in a given amount of time, relative to more manual prior art techniques, the overall quality of the stylized design selected for production can be improved.

  • Patent number: 11972097
    Abstract: Technology is described herein for facilitating a user's interaction with a digital ink document. The technology internally represents the ink document using a data structure having a hierarchy of nodes. The nodes describe respective elements in the ink document. The technology leverages the data structure to identify a set of nodes that grows upon the user's repeated selection of a particular part of the ink document. At each stage of the selection, the technology highlights a set of elements in the ink document that correspond to the current set of identified nodes. According to another illustrative aspect, the technology produces the data structure by modifying an original data structure provided by a text analysis engine. The technology performs this task with the objective of accommodating structured interaction by the user with the ink document.
