Patent number: 11119719Abstract: Systems and methods for screen sharing are provided. The screen sharing may comprise providing image data from a sender system to a receiver system. The receiver system may be a Virtual Reality [VR] system configured to render the image data in a virtual environment by projecting the image data onto a virtual canvas. At the sender system, visual content may be identified to share with the receiver system. The rendering or display of the virtual environment by the receiver may impose legibility constraints on the visual content. An adjusted version of the visual content may be generated which provides improved legibility when viewed in the virtual environment. The image data representing the adjusted version may then be provided to the receiver system. Accordingly, the legibility of the visual content shared by the sender system may be improved when rendered, displayed and subsequently viewed by a user in the virtual environment.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignees: KONINKLIKE KPN N.V., NEDERLANDSE ORGANISATIE VOOR TOEGEPAST-NATUURWETENSCHAPPELIJK ONDERZOEK TNOInventors: Martin Prins, Emmanuel Thomas, Hans Maarten Stokking, Hendrikus Nathaniƫl Hindriks

Patent number: 11112963Abstract: An electronic device displays a messaging user interface on the display, the messaging user interface including a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and at least one other user. The device receives a first message within the messaging session from an electronic device that corresponds to another user included in the messaging session; in response to receiving the first message, the device displays the first message in a first message region in the conversation transcript on the display. The device detects a first input by a first contact at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a location of the first message region in the conversation transcript; in response to detecting the first input, the device displays an acknowledgement selection affordance at a location in the messaging interface that corresponds to the first message region. The acknowledgement selection affordance displays a plurality of acknowledgement options.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2016Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Imran A.

Patent number: 11112930Abstract: A computer-implemented environment for creating, curating, sharing and storing document contents in a concise, structured, modular, standardized and story-like format. The environment enables users to define content with a set of Cards, and arrange, connect and disconnect Cards so as to define a distinct Story. The environment additionally provides a user-adjustable Card content separator configured so that content below the separator is not instantly visible to the user. Furthermore, the environment enables the automatic conversion of files, data feeds and search results into Cards and Stories.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Inventor: Paul Erich Keel

Patent number: 11099640Abstract: A computer system for improving a user interface (UI) is disclosed. The system includes a reinforcement module that obtains (i) a shortest path to a goal in the UI and (ii) user interaction experiments; a distance module that determines a reinforcement distance for each page of the UI based on the user interaction experiments; and a step analysis module that determines a count of times that user interaction experiments indicate a deviation from each step of the shortest path. The determination is based on the determined reinforcement distance for the page of the UI associated with the step. The reinforcement module is configured to, in response to determining that a step requires reinforcement, generate a reinforcement for the step. Generating the reinforcement includes at least one of generating a prompt for an action associated with the step and altering a UI element associated with the step.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2018Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Express Scripts Strategie Development, Inc.Inventor: Christopher M.

Patent number: 10956023Abstract: At an application executing using a processor in a touch-sensitive device, a detection is made that the touch-based gesture does not correspond to a perimeter defining a action, wherein the touch-based gesture is made relative to the touch-sensitive device. A set of possible actions intended by the touch-based gesture is determined. Using a disambiguation rule, an action is selected from the set of possible actions, wherein the selected action matches an action computed using the disambiguation rule. The selected action is caused to occur at the touch-sensitive device.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Barry A.
