  • Patent number: 11715046
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for enhancing data-analytic visualizations of a data analytics system. A computing device captures input data and output data associated with a data-analytic visualization generated by an advanced user using the data analytics system. The input data and output data are mapped together for defining the data-analytic visualization generated. A machine learning model is trained relative to the mapped input data and output data for generating the data-analytic visualization. During a normal usage of the data analytics system by a user, the trained model generates data-analytic visualizations to suggest to the user responsive to input data from the user. An optional threshold is set and applied relative to the data-analytic visualizations generated. If a data-analytic visualization meets the threshold, the data analytics system reports the data-analytic visualization.

  • Patent number: 11715111
    Abstract: Systems and methods for customizing business applications based upon user intent scores is described. A machine learning model trained to specifically predict when a user is likely to engage in a specific activity while interacting with the business application may be trained using data regarding prior interactions between a business application and a plurality of users. The machine learning model may thereafter provide a probability score for a particular user, the probability score indicating the likelihood that the user will engage in the specific activity for which the model has been trained to predict. The probability may be combined with a business value factor to produce a user intent score indicating the relative value of the user engaging in the specific activity.

  • Patent number: 11714823
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating metrics from real-time streaming log data. In order to generate the metrics, a metricization rule associated with the log data can be obtained. For example, the metricization rule may be obtained from a user. The metricization rule may include one or more field-value pairs that define how the metrics are generated from the log data. Preview metric data can be generated by applying the metricization rule to the log data. For example, the preview metric data may be displayed via a user interface. Further, the metricization rule can be accepted or approved by the user. Further, the additional log data can be ingested and based on determining that the metricization rule has been accepted, metric data may be generated by applying the metricization rule to the additional log data.

  • Patent number: 11687221
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for computing device control. The embodiment may include segmenting an augmented reality (AR) view of an environment of a user into distinct segmented areas of the AR view. The AR view is created by an AR device of the user. The segmenting is performed using the AR device. The embodiment may include mapping a computing device within the environment to a distinct segmented area of the AR view. The mapping results in a user interface (UI) of the computing device being displayed within the distinct segmented area of the AR view. The embodiment may include controlling the computing device via the UI of the computing device displayed within the distinct segmented area of the AR view.

  • Patent number: 11687959
    Abstract: A guided search system for suggesting and arranging filter criteria within a user interface for presentation to a user to help guide the user's search for listings is disclosed. The system builds one or more filter criteria frequency data structures indicative of the number of times each filter criterion has been used to filter search results and how often different filter criteria are used together. The system uses the frequency data structures to predict which filter criteria a user will likely employ to narrow their search given the filter criteria the user has already used. The system provides techniques for arranging or rearranging filter criteria within a user interface, by moving, placing, or ordering suggested filter criteria within the user interface, where a user is likely to be able to recognize and interact with the placed filter criteria, based on the determined amounts of use.

  • Patent number: 11683554
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for processing user interface content. For example, a server computer can receive a user interface event corresponding to a user interface of a device (e.g., a client device, another server computer, or other device). An application associated with the user interface event can be determined, and an interface model 5 can be generated using the application associated with the user interface event. The interface model defines state information for one or more graphic objects of the user interface. The state information results from the user interface event. The server computer can send the interface model to the device, which enables the device to render the user interface.
