  • Patent number: 10725638
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes providing a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows a user working in a notebook computing system environment to generate a source notebook that includes a plurality of cells, each containing code, for the one or more visualizations each including a chart. The GUI allows the user to run the cells before creating the marketing analytic dashboard. The code used to generate the one or more visualizations into a custom dataframe is strung together into a custom dataframe, which is then paired with chart properties. Processing the pairs in an engine creates a preview of each visualization of the dashboard using campaign data of the customer. The marketing analytic dashboard is made available to the customer through a customer-facing marketing analytics application which performs the same processing as the engine to create visualizations on the dashboard using updated campaign data of the customer.

The variation over time of the storage system latency is measured, along with the variation over time of the activity of various processes and/or components, the various processes and/or components being potentially contributing factors to the storage system latency. The latency measurements are correlated with the process and/or component measurements. High correlation, while not providing direct evidence of the causation of latency, is nevertheless used to identify likely factors (i.e., processes, components) contributing to latency. The latency measurements are plotted over time, the plot including supplemental information indicating, at any time instant, likely factors contributing to the storage system latency.

A computing device detects that it has insufficient network connectivity to transmit a data message from a service requester application executing on the computing device to a server using a data communications channel. The computing device receives user input for a request for service and transmits the request for service to the server via an alternate communications channel. The server receives and processes the request to arrange for service for the user and transmits data corresponding to a service arrangement to the computing device over the alternate communications channel.

  • Patent number: 10444005
    Abstract: An electronic device: displays a field of view of a camera at a first magnification and updates the displayed field of view over time based on changes detected by the camera. The field of view includes a view of a three-dimensional space. In response to a first touch input, the device adds a measurement point at a first location in the displayed field of view that corresponds to a first location in the three-dimensional space. As the camera moves, the device displays the measurement point at a location in the displayed field of view that corresponds to the first location in the three-dimensional space. In response to a second touch input corresponding to a current location of the measurement point in the displayed field of view, the device enlarges display of the displayed field of view around the measurement point from the first magnification to a second, greater magnification.

  • Patent number: 10412551
    Abstract: Based on an idea that there is a correlation between the number of mobile terminals 300 detected inside a facility (that is, a detected terminal count) and visitors of the facility, the number of users using the facility (that is, a crowd condition of the facility) is estimated using a WiFi function provided in the mobile terminals 300. Consequently, the crowd condition of the facility can simply be estimated while costs are suppressed to be low, compared to conventional methods in which, e.g., infrared modules or Web cameras are provided at entrances/exits of a facility to estimate a crowd condition.

  • Patent number: 10409481
    Abstract: A presentation system capable of detecting one or more gestures and contacts on a touch sensitive display. The presentation system can displaying indicia of such contacts, such as when a user writes with a fingertip, and can remove or alter such indicia responsive to other gestures and contacts. The system can accurately distinguish between types of gestures detected, such as between a writing gesture and an erasing gesture, on both large and small touch sensitive displays, thereby obviating the need for a user to make additional selective inputs to transition from one type of gesture to another. The presentation system can distinguish between gestures appropriate for one type of writing and another. For example the system can determine that gestures correspond to writing in Chinese versus English, and display the writing in a style that is appropriate for that language.

  • Patent number: 10394946
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to formulating and refining field extraction rules that are used at query time on raw data with a late-binding schema. The field extraction rules identify portions of the raw data, as well as their data types and hierarchical relationships. These extraction rules are executed against very large data sets not organized into relational structures that have not been processed by standard extraction or transformation methods. By using sample events, a focus on primary and secondary example events help formulate either a single extraction rule spanning multiple data formats, or multiple rules directed to distinct formats. Selection tools mark up the example events to indicate positive examples for the extraction rules, and to identify negative examples to avoid mistaken value selection. The extraction rules can be saved for query-time use, and can be incorporated into a data model for sets and subsets of event data.

  • Patent number: 10387113
    Abstract: Approaches provide for controlling, managing, and/or otherwise interacting with mixed (e.g., virtual and/or augmented) reality content in response to input from a user, including voice input, device input, among other such inputs, in a mixed reality environment. For example, a mixed reality device, such as a headset or other such device can perform various operations in response to a voice command or other such input. In one such example, the device can receive a voice command and an application executing on the device or otherwise in communication with the device can analyze audio input data of the voice command to control the view of content in the environment, as may include controlling a user's “position” in the environment. The position can include, for example, a specific location in time, space, etc., as well as directionality and field of view of the user in the environment.
