  • Patent number: 11762530
    Abstract: A computing device is described that outputs a radial interface. The computing device accesses a list that includes multiple time-based events that have a particular duration. The computing device selects, based on the list and the duration of each time-based event, a subset of time-based events determined such that a sum of the durations for each event in the subset is less than or equal to an hour. An order of the events in the subset is the same as in the list. The computing device generates a graphical user interface that includes a graphical selector and a number of graphical representations equal to the number of events in the subset, each graphical representation corresponding to a different event from the subset, arranged around the selector, and having a size proportional to the duration of the event corresponding to the respective representation. The computing device outputs, for display, the interface.

  • Patent number: 10519697
    Abstract: Disclosed is a tamper proof tag and accompanying method for verifying that a watch is authentic and has not been tampered with. The tamper proof tag, when affixed to the watch, ensures that the watch is authentic and prevents a user from tampering with the watch. The tamper proof tag also allows the watch to be worn while the tamper proof tag is affixed to watch and is minimally obstructive to the aesthetics of the watch. This provides a purchasing user with confidence that the watch is authentic, while also allowing the user to try on the watch without having to remove the tamper proof tag. The tamper proof tag also protects the seller from a user that may attempt to tamper with the watch after purchase. For example, the seller may condition returns for a sold watch on the tamper proof tag remaining affixed to the watch.
