  • Patent number: 12266076
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that generates a design representation to further construct a digital design multigraph and generate a structural representation for a digital design document from the digital design multigraph. For instance, the disclosed systems generate a design representation of a digital design document that includes design properties with multiple digital design elements. In particular, the disclosed systems construct a digital design (multi-)graph from the design representation by generating nodes to represent digital design elements and edges based on relationships between these elements. In addition, the disclosed systems generate a structural representation based on the digital design multigraph for downstream applications.

  • Patent number: 12236198
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to preserving text and speech semantics using real-time virtual corpora in live interactive chatbot sessions. A computing platform may receive user input and may determine whether characteristics of the input are identifiable. Based on determining the characteristics are identifiable, the computing platform may populate the characteristics using a global corpora and may use the populated characteristics to generate a response to the input. Alternatively, based on determining the characteristics are unidentifiable, the computing platform may determine whether the same or a similar input is stored in a virtual corpora. If the same or a similar input is stored in the virtual corpora, the computing platform may generate a response to the input using the virtual corpora. Alternatively, if the same or a similar input was not previously received, the computing platform may gather information from the user to generate a response to the input.

The automated assistant can interact with existing search filter features of another application and can also adapt in circumstances when certain filter parameters are not directly controllable at a search interface of the application. For instance, when a user requests that a search operation be performed using certain terms, those terms may refer to content filters that may not be available at a search interface of the application. However, the automated assistant can generate an assistant input based on those content filters in order to ensure that any resulting search results will be filtered accordingly. The assistant input can then be submitted into a search field of the application and a search operation can be executed.

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to improvements in the design of a messaging inbox. The inbox may display different units or “modules” for providing a user with quick access to different inbox functionalities. After a number of recent or unread messages are shown in the inbox's initial interface, the messages end and are replaced with modules. A threshold may be defined for the number of recent/unread messages to display before transitioning to modules. The threshold may be determined dynamically based on a minimum and/or maximum number of messages to display. The determination may be based on the current time, whether there is an active conversation in a thread, whether there are unread messages in a thread, etc. The determination may vary from user to user based, for example, on whether the user is a relatively active user, and/or how the user has used the messaging application in the past.

  • Patent number: 11669228
    Abstract: Computer systems and methods may display multi-dimensional data sets in a dynamically-generated ocular view, which may show the relationship between data points in the different dimensions. For example, such a data set may include in one dimension results of one or more laboratory tests and, in another dimension, body systems or functions that the respective tests may relate to. The ocular view may depict the relationships between the tests and the systems. By being generated dynamically, moreover, the ocular view may be able to present this information for arbitrary sets of test results, without a template having been generated in advance to specify the layout of some particular combination of results.

  • Patent number: 11573674
    Abstract: A dual-screen user device and methods for revealing a combination of selected desktops and applications on single and dual screens are disclosed. Desktops and applications can be shifted between screens by user gestures, and/or moved off of the screens and therefore hidden. Hidden desktops and screens can be re-displayed by other gestures. The desktops and applications are arranged in a window stack that represents a logical order of the desktops and applications providing a user with an intuitive ability to manage multiple applications/desktops running simultaneously. One embodiment provides an annunciator window extending across both screens in a dual screen configuration. The annunciator window provides alerts, notifications, and statuses of the device in an increased area thereby enhancing viewability of the information in the window. The annunciator window can be expanded over a selected screen to view full contents of the window without having to minimize or close running applications.

  • Patent number: 11501854
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and apparatus for electronically drawing and editing representations of chemical structures using an intuitive user interface. This user interface, the context-aware virtual keyboard, makes it faster and easier to draw and edit chemical structure representations by guiding the user through the sequence of steps required to produce the representation in a context-based, non-linear fashion. The context-based virtual keyboard allows a user to quickly create graphical representations of complex chemical structures by using the structure itself as a basis for presenting efficient options for subsequent drawing/editing steps. Different possible and/or likely actions (e.g., edits to a chemical structure being drawn) are presented to the user based on a selected navigation position on the drawing.
