Patent number: 10768696Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms for calibrating an eye gaze selection system. When the calibration is triggered, a snapshot of an area around the current user's gaze point is taken. The snapshot area is then animated to cause motion of the snapshot area. As the snapshot is animated, the user's gaze will naturally track the thing the user was focusing on. This creates an eye tracking vector with a magnitude and direction. The magnitude and direction of the eye tracking vector can then be used to calculate a correction factor for the current user's gaze point. Calibration can be triggered manually by the user or based on some criteria such as error rates in item selection by the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2017Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Shane Williams, Andrew D.

Patent number: 10572124Abstract: Methods and systems for bound based contextual zoom are disclosed. Legacy WINDOWS desktop and web applications were designed for a mouse or other high-precision pointing device, and as such, small controls and closely grouped controls/icons were commonly designed/used on the screen. Interacting with such applications remoted to a touch-based device (e.g., a smartphone or tablet) is difficult. Bound based contextual zoom overcomes at least some of these limitations by permitting a user to zoom in on an area of interest within an application or desktop, and for a period of time long enough to complete the touch interaction. The area zoomed might be a group of controls on a ribbon bar, the minimize/maximize/close buttons in the top-right corner of a window, a group of form input controls, or any other natural cluster of related user interface (UI) elements.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2013Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Paul Adam Ryman, Jayadev Marulappa Niranjanmurthy

Patent number: 10572099Abstract: The invention provides, a method for human-computer interaction on a graphical user interface (GUI). The method includes the steps of receiving first control coordinates for individualised control of a plurality of objects to be controlled—by pointer coordinates; receiving display coordinates for the display' of the' plurality of objects, which relate to but are different from the first control coordinates; receiving pointer coordinates for individualised control of the objects based partly on the first control coordinates; using the display coordinates of at least one object to—calculate new control coordinates associated with the same object, which new control coordinates generally correspond to the same objects display coordinates; and—continuously repeating the above steps each time new pointer coordinates become available.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2015Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Flow Labs, Inc.Inventors: Hendrik Frans Verwoerd Boshoff, Willem Morkel Van Der Westhuizen, Jan Pool, Adri Smuts

Patent number: 10552941Abstract: A method is implemented at an electronic device for displaying output from an application. The electronic device includes a display module and an application. The application sends to the display module a request to display output on the fixed orientation display. The display module determines whether the application is able to scale the output from the application to fit the fixed orientation display. In accordance with a determination that the application is able to scale the output, the electronic device causes the application to receive information concerning the fixed orientation display from the display module and scale the output for display on the fixed orientation display according to the information. In accordance with a determination that the application is not able to scale the output, the display module scales the output received from the application, thereby enabling the output of the application to be displayed on the fixed orientation display.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Inventors: Patrick Brady, Dianne Hackborn, Jason Bayer

Patent number: 10536353Abstract: An automatic service monitor in an information technology environment has its operation controlled by information that, in part, defines entities that perform services and defines key performance indicators (KPIs) that indicate measures of performance of the services. Additional information controls the operation of the service monitor with respect to reporting KPI data on system dashboards based on design templates. Data sources associated with one service that help populate a design template are automatically swapped for data sources associated with a different service to produce automatic dashboard variants.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2016Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Rochit Gupta, George Daloukov, Alok Anant Bhide, Alan Vincent Hardin
