  • Patent number: 11762544
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for automatically forming groups of application windows. The techniques may be performed with a computing device executing a windowing system, the windowing system having a user interface element that can be interacted with by a user to manage applications executing on the computing device. Each application may correspond to a separate process and application window. It may be determined that an operation has occurred that will evict the application windows of target applications from the display, and in response an application group may be automatically formed. The application group may have indicia of the evicted target applications. The application group may be provided to the user interface element, and when the user interface element is interacted with by the user the user interface element displays user-selectable graphic application indicators for both the application group and applications other than the target applications.

  • Patent number: 11704098
    Abstract: Systems, techniques, and user interfaces are disclosed for an object-centric builder software that can utilize an ontology to design, configure, and build a workflow application that also references the ontology to perform a workflow. The ontology may serve as a data model for stored data associated with the particular workflow. The builder software may leverage the ontology to obtain advance knowledge of the availability and structure of the stored data that will be accessible to the workflow application at run-time, in order to build a workflow application that is well-tailored for that particular workflow. This approach may also result in flexible workflow applications that are easily built and maintained.

  • Patent number: 11210615
    Abstract: A content collaboration system displays a UI allowing a project owner to create and edit a collaboration project, and share the collaboration project with other users. To share the collaboration project, the project owner starts a sharing workflow by providing a user input to the collaboration system UI. The sharing workflow allows the project owner to identify other users with which to share the collaboration project. As part of the sharing workflow, the project owner can input a request via the collaboration system UI to manage (e.g., create or edit) a group of users. In response to such a request, the collaboration system UI causes the group to be created or changed as requested. In response to a request to share the collaboration project with the group the collaboration system UI causes an invitation to access the collaboration project to be sent to the members of the group.

  • Patent number: 11201796
    Abstract: A method and system for enabling transfer of widgets across containers at runtime. According to embodiments of the present invention, a user is allowed to transfer a widget across containers at runtime, for example, moving a widget that has been deployed and operated in one widget container to another, even though the destination widget container originally does not support the widget. Specifically, the widget being transferred can keep consistency in terms of data and state before and after the transfer. Furthermore, the user can implement the cross-container transfer of widgets at runtime by, for example, convenient interaction means like a drag-and-drop operation. In this way, the user can operate and interact with Web applications in a more convenient and flexible way.

  • Patent number: 10949272
    Abstract: The disclosed technology executes a next operation in a set of associated application windows. A first application window and a second application window are added to the set. A first context is generated from content from the first application window. A selection of the content is detected from first application window. The first context is communicated as input to the second application window, responsive to detecting the selection. The next operation in the second application window is executed using the first context as input to the next operation, responsive to communicating the first context.

  • Patent number: 10938755
    Abstract: A method for browser-based chat messaging is provided. The method presents browser-based presentation interfaces, including a master and at least one slave, and including a chat messaging interface for the master and establishes a single communication session with a server system, by the master. Based on a number of presentation interfaces associated with a chat session, a new presentation interface broadcasts a master/slave status request to the other presentation interfaces, receives responses from the other presentation interfaces, and configures a file in its session storage to identify itself as a slave based at least in part on a response from the master. Thereafter, the new presentation interface communicates with the server system via the master.

  • Patent number: 10854173
    Abstract: A technology enables interactive control of simultaneously displayed multiple images with high dynamic ranges, which software automation processes are programmed to reduce the complexity in managing and viewing the post window/level adjustment of the multiple images. An image control engine provides several synchronous functional capabilities, which comprises an input module, a blending factor synchronization module, a window/level synchronization module, a display module, and an image storage. For window/level adjustment of the images in blended views, the blending factor synchronization module automatically links the activation of a window/level control of one image with a transparency blending factor that affects both images.

  • Patent number: 10705712
    Abstract: A bulk-selection control is described in which the same user input action automatically causes both (a) scrolling of a list of visual indicators of items, and (b) selection of the items that correspond to the visual indicators. Specifically, as the visual indicator of an item is scrolled beyond a “selection-triggering position”, the visual indicator is visually marked to indicate that the corresponding item is selected, and the corresponding item is automatically added to a set of selected items. When scrolled the opposite direction, the items that have already been added to the set of selected items are not removed therefrom, even if the scrolling operation causes their visual indicators to cease to be beyond the selection-triggering position.

  • Patent number: 10684610
    Abstract: An industrial control system (ICS) frontend system has a visualization component that concurrently visualizes a functional ICS view (FICSV) and further functional view (FFV). The FICSV represents ICS data associated with the ICS. The FFV is either a further FICSV representing ICS data or is a functional GIS view representing GIS data associated with a geographic information system. The functional views can respond to an associating event. The system further has a data input component configured to receive user input data, the input data indicating a directed associating operation (DAO) between the FICSV and FFV. A system processor component launches the associating event in response to received input data if the DAO is allowed. If the DAO is from an FFV object to the FICSV, the FICSV function is performed using FFV object properties; if from an FICSV ICS object to the FFV, the FFV function uses ICS object properties.

  • Patent number: 10678996
    Abstract: Unstructured explanatory information is added to an electronic mortgage form and other borrower/applicant documentation. When a user wishes to document or explain any entry or data, the user may add and insert an explanatory footnote into the electronic mortgage form and other borrower/applicant documentation. The user may enter a keyboard command or other instruction for locating and formatting the footnote. The user enters/types the text of the footnote, which may also include or specify an HTML tag that references a document attachment. When the electronic mortgage form is then generated, the electronic mortgage form incorporates the explanatory footnote. However, the HTML tag is replaced with a more human-understandable attachment name.
