  • Patent number: 11341274
    Abstract: Methods and systems for enabling organization and control of dashboards, visualizations, and other saved data objects into spaces. An exemplary method includes, based on at least one role of a user, controlling the user's access to a default space and to other spaces of a plurality of spaces, such that the only spaces that the user can access are the default space and the one or more other spaces. Each space can contain a number of saved objects such as dashboards, visualizations, or other objects. The method can provide a graphical user interface for enabling the user to select, as a current space, the default space or one of the other spaces; and in response to the selection, automatically saving new objects generated by the user into the current space; wherein each of the spaces is configured to provide access to certain data objects only or access to certain applications only.

  • Patent number: 11315051
    Abstract: A facility for providing a workflow tailored to defining a project for collecting multimodal data from each of a set of crowdsourcing or microtasking platform workers is described. The facility enables customers of a crowdsourcing or microtasking platform to easily define multimodal data collection projects. The facility enables customers to define any of the following types of information associated with multimodal data collection projects: worker requirements, project environment parameters, video data, audio data, physiological data, and/or location-related data. Some of this data is collected using different kinds of sensors in one or more devices (e.g., smart phones, fitness wearables, etc.) associated with the crowdsourcing or micro-tasking platforms' workers. Prior to computing data results generated by executing a multimodal data collection project, the facility an align at least a first portion of the collected data with a second portion of the second data.

  • Patent number: 11227344
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for storing data representing respective sub-elements of a complex task. Data representing one or more links between two or more sub-elements is stored, the links indicating a dependency between said sub-elements. A work order is calculated based on the identified links. A graphical representation of the calculated work order which indicates said sub-elements and their dependencies is provided. The links may indicate a temporal dependency of a second sub-element on a first sub-element and in which the provided graphical representation presents the temporal relationship of the sub-elements. Historical data may be received for association with one or more selected links or sub-elements, the historical data related to a prior event and which affects the temporal relationship between the sub-elements. An updated work order modified by the historical data may be calculated. An updated graphical representation of the work order may be provided.
