  • Patent number: 12353699
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a collaboration engine is configured to display shared digital assets consistently across displays. The collaboration engine receives container metadata generated based on a first location and first size of a digital asset within a first scaled workspace displayed on a first display. In response, the collaboration engine computes a second location and second size of the digital asset based on the container metadata and the size of a second scaled workspace. Finally, the collaboration engine configures the second device to display the digital asset within the second scaled workspace based on the second location and the second size. Notably, the container metadata correlates to the appearance of the digital asset on the first display, and the appearance of the digital asset on the second display correlates to the container metadata. Consequently, the appearance of the digital asset is consistent across the displays.

    Abstract: Systems and methods simulate changes to a User Interface (UI) of a software application. During a setup phase, elements of an original UI are extracted and copied in a mesh indicating their position. An event is received and determined to be of a type simulating a change to the copied UI element. Changes to the UI (e.g., field grouping/arrangement; field labeling; error message adjustment; others) are then simulated in a synchronous manner to allow for user inspection. Changes to corresponding development objects of the software application implicated by the simulation, may be derived and reported in an asynchronous manner. Some embodiments may automatically apply the determined changes to the corresponding development objects in the development system. Simulation implemented according to embodiments may accelerate the UI development process, by allowing various stakeholders to review proposed changes in a collaborative manner at the design gate (d-gate) or other UI review meeting stage.

  • Patent number: 12105893
    Abstract: A reconfigurable keyboard comprising a base and one or more keyboard keys attachable to the base for user interaction with the re-configurable keyboard. The base defines a surface comprising a plurality of attachment points and a plurality of electrical connection points. A key-board key comprises one or more formations each shaped and configured to interface with a corresponding attachment point so as to retain a component relative to the base. A keyboard key also has an electrical connector shaped and configured to interface with an electrical connection point of the base to enable an electrical connection to be formed between the keyboard key and the base upon attachment of the keyboard key to the base. The attachment points and electrical connection points of the base are relatively arranged to permit a keyboard key to be releasably attached to the base in multiple different positions and in different orientations.

  • Patent number: 12086275
    Abstract: A system for governing user privacy data may include detecting a dark data source in a data ecosystem including data sources storing user privacy data. The system may further include identifying user information from the data ecosystem according to a lineage of datasets and scanning the dark data source by executing a natural language processing engine to identify existence of and content of user privacy data in the dark data source based on the user information. The system may further include selecting a target user privacy data compliance policy from user privacy data compliance policies based on a geographical region associated with the dark data source and detecting non-compliance in protecting the user privacy data in the dark data source based on the target user privacy data compliance policy. The system may further include, in response to the non-compliance, processing the user privacy data to eliminate the non-compliance.

  • Patent number: 12067836
    Abstract: Before a game is provided, a state is established in which each of a server 2 and a user terminal 3 is capable of using common node definition data ND corresponding to the game. A plurality of nodes indicating a state of the game are defined in the node definition data ND. While the game is being played by a user, the user terminal 3 transitions the node on the basis of the node definition data of the user terminal 3, changes a value of terminal-side setting information, and records transition reproduction information capable of reproducing the transition of the node and the changed value of the terminal-side setting information as a log in log data. In addition, the user terminal 3 transmits transmission log data DL including the log to the server 2.

  • Patent number: 12039139
    Abstract: A method of enabling a user of a computing device to provide input via a viewport displayed on a display monitor. The viewport is displayed over a first region of the graphic user interface (GUI), and a second region of the GUI is displayed within the viewport. When the user positions the system pointing indicium at the first region of the graphic user interface, the system pointing indicium is placed into the second GUI region, while a separate viewpoint pointing indicium is displayed over the viewport. When a user provides an input, the input is applied at the current position coordinates of the system pointing indicium.
