  • Patent number: 11731037
    Abstract: In various examples, when a user presses a button to interact with an object while playing a mobile video game, a prioritization zone around a targeting reticle can be defined. If the user positions the prioritization zone on a group of objects, a set of prioritization rules are applied to identify high importance objects (e.g., game Champions) in the prioritization zone. Based on the prioritization rules, the system can select the identified high importance object found inside the prioritization zone that is closest to the targeting reticle. In some embodiments, the prioritization zone is activated only for a defined period of time after the user presses the attack button. If the user releases the attack button during the defined period of time, the system can identify any of the objects in the prioritization zone and select a high importance object to interact with (e.g., launch an attack).

  • Patent number: 11436249
    Abstract: A computer transforms content of a composite table into structured data objects. The computer receives a composite table and identifying a data zone characterized by data columns, and a header zone. The computer identifies first header cells arranged coextensive with a single data column and second header cells arranged coextensive with a set of data columns. The computer generates a hierarchical representation of said header cells, based at least in part, on the header cell arrangements. The computer generates a revised table based on the hierarchical representation, with the first header cells identifying a data column and the second header cells identify a first header cell. The computer generates structured data objects representing the zones and being arranged based, at least in part, on the revised table and where the structured data objects are keyed to the first header cells.

  • Patent number: 11416244
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for automatically detecting positions of various webpage elements within a webpage when the webpage is rendered, based on analyzing the programming code of the webpage using graph-based and NLP-based techniques. A position detection system obtains the programming code of the webpage and generates a DOM tree based on the programming code. A group of leaf tags may be identified based on traversing the DOM tree. The position detection system may use two different, but coordinated, prediction models to make the classification prediction for the leaf tags, where the first prediction model focuses on recall by identifying as many positive leaf tags as possible at the cost of low precision and the second prediction model refines the results from the first prediction model by improving the precision of the classification.

  • Patent number: 11385765
    Abstract: Users can switch between applications using contextual interface elements. These elements can include icons for applications determined to likely be accessed by the user for a current context. Information is gathered to determine the current context, then information such as patterns of historical usage are utilized to determine and rank the applications by likelihood of use. Different contexts can include different icons, and a given context can include different icons for different points in time or locations. A user can access a contextual interface element by performing a swipe motion, for example. The user can continue the motion to an area associated with an icon of interest, and perform an action such as a tap or release to cause the associated application to be launched. Such an approach enables a user to quickly and easily launch another application independent of the application currently active on the device.

  • Patent number: 11366654
    Abstract: The management of applications in a computing environment often involves a significant number of computing operations, such as acquiring the application, deploying data objects in various locations, and configuring the application with respect to the deployed device. Conventional computing environments may provide inadequate support throughout a typical application life cycle, especially for a computing environment distributed across many devices. Instead, the computing environment may be represented in a deployable object hierarchy that may be distributed to various devices. An application management service may therefore be provided to install representations of the application in the object hierarchy, and to support many other aspects of the application life cycle, such as application discovery, sharing, updating, and removal.
