20210109629 | INTERACTIVE INTERFACES AS COMPUTERIZED TOOLS TO PRESENT SUMMARIZATION DATA OF DATASET ATTRIBUTES FOR COLLABORATIVE DATASETS - Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, and computer software and systems, to provide an interface between repositories of disparate datasets and computing machine-based entities that seek access to the datasets, and, more specifically, to a computing and data storage platform that facilitates consolidation of one or more datasets, whereby one or more interfaces, such as user interfaces, may be implemented as computerized tools for presenting summarization of dataset attributes to facilitate discovery, formation, and analysis of interrelated collaborative datasets. In some examples, a method may include presenting data representing summary characteristic data in a user interface. This may include user interface elements each specifying a value of a dataset attribute for a collaborative dataset. Also, the method may include presenting aggregated data attributes for a subset of the collaborative dataset associated with the linked atomized datasets. In one example, an interactive overlay window may be activated. | 2021-04-15 |
20210109630 | MULTI-SOURCE JOURNAL CONTENT INTEGRATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COLLABORATIVE ONLINE CONTENT EDITING - The paper discloses a system including a multi-source content acquisition engine configured to provide an instruction to launch an editor window to display a set of selectable content from user-generated content generated by a plurality of remote sources and stored in a content datastore. The system includes a multi-source content selection configured to identify a set of selected content from the set of selectable content. The system includes an integrated content arrangement engine configured to arrange the set of selected content into a multi-sourced journal content sequence. The system includes a layer integration engine configured to apply a layer from the layer datastore to a portion of the multi-sourced journal content sequence. The system includes a multi-source content launch engine configured to provide an instruction to display an integrated multi-sourced journal content sequence including the multi-sourced journal content sequence and the layer in the editor window. | 2021-04-15 |
20210109631 | IMAGE OUTPUT DEVICE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING IMAGE OUTPUT DEVICE, AND TELEVISION - An image output device includes an instruction receiver, an image generator, an image controller, a storage that stores application information, and an updater that updates the application information. The image controller selects, with reference to the application information, from among the plurality of shortcuts, at least one first shortcut satisfying a first criterion and a second shortcut not satisfying the first criterion but satisfying a second criterion. The image generator generates and outputs the home menu in which the at least one first shortcut selected is displayed and the second shortcut selected is displayed in a different form than the at least one first shortcut. | 2021-04-15 |
20210109632 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND MEDIA FOR PRESENTING RELATED CONTENT IN A USER INTERFACE NAVIGATED USING DIRECTIONAL CONTROLS - Methods, systems, and media for navigating a user interface are provided. In some embodiments, a method for navigating a user interface is provided, the method comprising: causing a user interface to be presented including a plurality of media identifier elements corresponding to media assets; causing the plurality of media identifier elements to be arranged along a first direction of the user interface; selecting a first media asset associated with a first media identifier element for presentation; identifying related media assets in response to selection of the first media asset; causing the first media asset to be presented in a first portion of the user interface; and causing related media identifier elements to be presented in a second portion of the user interface aligned with the first portion along the first direction. | 2021-04-15 |
20210109633 | APPROACHES FOR CONDUCTING INVESTIGATIONS CONCERNING UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY - Systems and methods are provided for providing an interface for conducting an investigation concerning at least one suspected unauthorized entry to an environment. A set of tabbed sub-interfaces for accessing information related to the environment can be provided in a first region of the interface. An interactive map of the environment can be provided in a second region of the interface, wherein the interactive map identifies locations within the environment that are associated with access control readers, and wherein the interactive map identifies locations within the environment that are associated with respective cameras that capture visual data describing those locations. | 2021-04-15 |
