  • Patent number: 11880546
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may transmit a first set of user interface (UI) data indicating a UI having a first interaction element. The system may receive interaction data indicating a user interaction with the first interaction element. The system may determine one or more suggestions to provide based on one or more factors related to account information associated with a user account. The system may transmit a second set of UI data associated with a UI element and that may indicate a first portion, extending downward from a top of a display of the user device, that may include one or more second interaction elements corresponding to the suggestions, and a second portion extending upward from a bottom of the display and including a virtual keyboard. An intermediate portion of the UI may be exposed through a gap between the first and second portions of the UI element.

  • Patent number: 11704473
    Abstract: Review systems and methods facilitate active reading by providing a flexible environment in which users can examine documents. A review system can comprise a virtual workspace, a document view region, a preview region, and optional document objects. The virtual workspace can simulate a desktop or other physical workspace. The document view region can display a portion of an open document at a magnification sufficient for reading. The preview region can display the document at a magnification sufficient to enable the general layout of the entire document to be determined. The document objects can be created from the document through tools of the review system. These document objects can be independently moveable throughout the virtual workspace as needed to facilitate the user's active reading process.

  • Patent number: 11157158
    Abstract: Techniques for coordinating movements of various objects in an electronic document are disclosed. A first-type object remains stationary so that it becomes outside a content boundary of the electronic document, as the content boundary is pulled inside an edge of a window displaying the electronic document. A second-type object remains stationary until the content boundary reaches the edge of the window and then moves along with the scrolled electronic document as the content boundary is pulled inside the edge of the window. A third-type object and a fourth-type object may show different movement behaviors.

  • Patent number: 11150801
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to effortlessly switching between user accounts. For example, a user may access an application on their computing device. Within the application the user may have multiple user accounts. The application may display a plurality of indicators that signify each user account associated with that application. In this regard, the user may perform a swiping or tapping motion to select a particular user account to switch to. A transitional stage may take place that changes a first background and details associated with a first user account to a second background and details associated with a second user account. When the transition is complete, the user is able to access and perform functions associated with the second user account. The user may switch to another user account using a similar swiping or tapping motion.

  • Patent number: 11095589
    Abstract: A message analysis system controls the transmission of outgoing messages based on the contents of the outgoing messages so that the proliferation of restricted data or confidential content can be monitored or prevented. An outgoing message is detected via various user actions executed during the creation of the outgoing message. The contents of the outgoing message are extracted to determine if the outgoing message includes restricted data or content based on a comparison of the message contents with contents of an index which includes prior tagged messages and their message counts. If the contents of the outgoing message match a prior received message, an associated message count is updated and the outgoing message is transmitted or restricted based on the comparison of the updated message count with a corresponding count threshold.
