  • Patent number: 11609723
    Abstract: An approach provides access to cloud services that are impractical or difficult to implement on end-user devices without a high level of programming skill and customization. The approach uses a first set of cloud services, referred to herein as Integrated Cloud Environment (ICE) cloud services, to access to a second set of cloud services, referred to herein as Smart Integration (SI) cloud services, on end-user devices. The ICE cloud services provide a user-friendly user interface for accessing the SI cloud services via an end-user device, implement the Application Program Interfaces (APIs) of the SI cloud services, and also manage results generated by the SI cloud services. The ICE cloud services also manage user information, authorization credentials and tokens needed to access third-party services. According to another embodiment, the SI cloud and the ICE cloud are integrated using direct linking, i.e., directly linking an end-user device to the SI cloud.

An example method involves parameterisation of optimal trajectories as functions of operational parameters thereby allowing computational systems to use such computed functions in the air to determine the optimal trajectory or flight profile required for the specific operating conditions quickly and accurately.

  • Patent number: 11314821
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, and methods for presenting feed items in an information feed. In various implementations, a first result object is received, where the first result object is a data structure including a result of a feed query, where the result of the feed query includes at least one feed item to be included in the information feed, and where the at least one feed item has a first presentation. In various implementations, at least one custom object associated with the at least one feed item is received, where the at least one custom object provides a second presentation of the at least one feed item. In some implementations, the at least one custom object is included with the first result object to define an intermediary data structure.

  • Patent number: 11307754
    Abstract: The present technology provide a mechanism for displaying and initiating actions and workflows for objects with a single drag-and-drop operation in association with a content management system. Drag operations may be monitored to trigger monitoring of a pointer performing the drag operation to detect whether the pointer is within a threshold distance from a chosen aspect, such as a system tray icon, and/or an area of a temporary invisible window. Upon detection, the drag operation of the objects may seamlessly trigger a presentation of a menu window. The menu window may display one or more icons representing different actions and workflows for which the object may be dropped, via a drop operation, upon to indicate a selection.

  • Patent number: 11301124
    Abstract: A system for modifying a user interface described herein can include a processor to detect a plurality of display screens electronically coupled to the system. The processor can also detect a first gesture corresponding to an application window displayed in one of the display screens and generate a preview panel in response to detecting the first gesture, the preview panel to be displayed proximate the application window, wherein the preview panel is to display a real-time image comprising content displayed in each of the display screens. Furthermore, the processor can detect a second gesture to move the application window to a different display screen modify the user interface to display the application window in the different display screen.

  • Patent number: 11301125
    Abstract: Techniques are described for performing inter-object interactions between vector objects to adjust the appearance of one vector object based on another vector object. For example, a vector object interaction framework may be implemented in which designers drag a vector object onto another vector object to trigger an interaction between the objects. Candidate interactions between pairs of object types may be pre-defined and stored in a suitable data structure. Thus, when one vector object is dragged onto a recipient vector object and a pause is detected, the object types for the dragged and recipient objects may be determined, and a corresponding set of candidate interactions for the pair of object types may be accessed, ranked, simulated, and/or presented as selectable previews. As such, one of the candidate interactions may be selected and executed to form one or more output vector objects that may be saved, exported, modified, and/or reused.

  • Patent number: 11301129
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a user interface with a first electronic message, where the first electronic message is associated with corresponding message time metadata. While displaying the first electronic message, the electronic device detects only a single contact on the touch-sensitive surface and detect a first movement of only the single contact. In response to detecting the first movement of only the single contact, display message time metadata for the first electronic message adjacent to the first electronic messages, wherein the message time metadata was not displayed immediately prior to detecting the first movement of the single contact.

  • Patent number: 11288879
    Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for object detection and inserting graphical elements into an image stream in response to detecting the object. The systems and methods detect an object of interest in received frames of a video stream. The systems and methods identify a bounding box for the object of interest and estimate a three-dimensional position of the object of interest based on a scale of the object of interest. The systems and methods generate one or more graphical elements having a size based on the scale of the object of interest and a position based on the three-dimensional position estimated for the object of interest. The one or more graphical elements are generated within the video stream to form a modified video stream. The systems and methods cause presentation of the modified video stream including the object of interest and the one or more graphical elements.

  • Patent number: 11275630
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and devices for task-related sorting, application discovery, and unified bookmarking for application managers. Through use of an application manager, multiple applications (including standalone applications, instant applications, websites, and other content) that a person can use to accomplish a single task, or multiple related tasks, are sorted into discrete groups for display in the application manager. The application manager can automatically recognize relationships between activities performed with the applications and recognize user actions with the applications that are related to the activities. Based on the relationships and user actions, the application manager can automatically determine that the activities and actions represent a task and display a task group that includes the applications that represent the task.

  • Patent number: 11209915
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for displaying interface content. In an example, processing circuitry detects a moving track of a touch object on a touch screen of a terminal device. The moving track is represented by coordinates of the touch object varying along the moving track. Then, the processing circuitry determines, based on a preset relationship of the moving track and a control parameter for a control object on a user interface, a value of the control parameter for the control object that varies with the coordinates of the touch object along the moving track. The control object has content that is displayed on the touch screen. Further, the processing circuitry displays, on the touch screen, the content of the control object on the user interface according to the value of the control parameter that varies with the coordinates of the touch object along the moving track.
