The wearable system can detect that a virtual button is actuated by determining whether a portion of the user's body (e.g., the user's finger) has penetrated the volume associated with the virtual button. | 2018-06-07 |
20180157399 | CONTEXT-BASED ICON FOR CONTROL VIA A TOUCH SENSITIVE INTERFACE - Selection of a context-based touch-sensitive icon for control of content presentation via a touch sensitive interface is disclosed. Context can be related to aspect of presented content, user profile information, historical content consumption, human interface data, etc. Context of content can be related to types, ratings, themes, metadata, etc., of content. This can enable selecting an icon that corresponds to the content being presented. Moreover, user profile data can allow more refined icon selection based on parameters that can be based on an entry of data associated with a user. Additionally, historical content consumption can act as a criterion in selecting an icon. Further, user interactions with a human interface can aid in selecting an icon based on patterns indicating aspects such as poor coordination, possible diseases/conditions associated with a user, etc. In an aspect, a caricature an icon designed for children can be selected based on children's content. | 2018-06-07 |
20180157400 | Statistics Time Chart Interface Row Mode Drill Down - In embodiments of statistics time chart interface row mode drill down, a first interface is displayed in a table format that includes columns each having a column heading comprising a different value, each different value associated with a particular event field, and includes rows each with a time increment and one or more aggregated metrics, each aggregated metric representing a number of events having a field-value pair that matches the different value represented in one of the columns and within the time increment over which the aggregated metric is calculated. A row that includes the time increment and the aggregated metrics can be emphasized in the first interface, and in response, a menu is displayed with selectable options to transition to a second interface based on a selected one of the options. | 2018-06-07 |
20180157401 | Display Device, Corresponding Systems, and Methods Therefor - A display system includes a display and a control circuit operable with the display. The display is configured to provide visual output having a presentation orientation. When user input is received, the control circuit can alter the presentation orientation from an initial orientation in response to user input. When non-user events or device events are detected, the control circuit can revert the presentation orientation to the initial orientation in response to the non-user event or device event. Where the presentation orientation has a user input configuration associated therewith, the user input configuration can either be altered with the presentation orientation or retained in an initial disposition. | 2018-06-07 |
20180157402 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SYNCHRONOUSLY MANIPULATING INTERDEPENDENT MEDICAL DEVICE OPERATING PARAMETERS ON A TOUCHSCREEN DEVICE - A system and method for facilitating synchronous manipulation of interdependent medical device operating parameters is provided. The method includes displaying medical image data as it is acquired. The medical image data is acquired based on operating parameters each having an associated value. The method includes receiving a selection to adjust the associated value of one of the operating parameters. The selected one of the operating parameters is a parameter in a pre-defined set of operating parameters. The method includes presenting an operating parameter user interface including the pre-defined set of operating parameters. The method includes receiving a touch user input that synchronously sets the associated value of each of a plurality of the operating parameters in the pre-defined set. The method includes instantaneously updating the displayed medical image data as the associated value of each of the operating parameters in the pre-defined set is synchronously set. | 2018-06-07 |
20180157403 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING AND SHARING PLANS THROUGH MULTIMODAL DIALOG - Methods, systems, devices, and media for creating a plan through multimodal search inputs are provided. A first search request comprises a first input received via a first input mode and a second input received via a different second input mode. The second input identifies a geographic area. First search results are displayed based on the first search request and corresponding to the geographic area. Each of the first search results is associated with a geographic location. A selection of one of the first search results is received and added to a plan. A second search request is received after the selection, and second search results are displayed in response to the second search request. The second search results are based on the second search request and correspond to the geographic location of the selected one of the first search results. | 2018-06-07 |
