Patent Application
20230030217
The present disclosure generally relates to the field of data processing. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for organizing displays of software applications running on a device.
A system for organizing the content displays of various software applications is in demand. Today, people use computer devices daily. Computer devices and software provide convenient communication methods, automated processes, and various useful features necessary and helpful in making people's lives easier.
With technological advancements, new computer systems, including mobile devices and software, are being released by computer companies every week. Computer devices are being manufactured to support an increasing number of functions and a variety of software applications. Consequently, computer devices and software applications are getting more and more complicated to use.
Many people, from kids to professionals, also feel the need to keep up with current market trends and use the latest, most-advanced computer device available on the market. Acquiring new software applications is made easy and economical with Internet technology advancements and software systems designed to download new software via the Internet.
However, increased complexity leads to the increased time spent trying to understand how to use the computer device and software. It also increases the time spent using multiple software applications simultaneously. People use monitors or phone screens to view and manipulate numerous software applications. Despite a large number of computer devices available on the market, the display screen on which users view multiple software applications has limited space, causing difficulty remembering the viewing states of the applications and organizing multiple software applications running simultaneously. Software applications, including web applications, games, and professional applications, are typically designed to show multiple states or stages that indicate the progress of the software and include various features that users can navigate, but when users are operating multiple applications at the same time, it becomes difficult to remember the previous states of an application when the user wants to go back or open specific windows when multiple application windows or websites are hiding behind the foremost open window.
Therefore, there is a need for systems and methods for organizing displays of software applications running on a device that may overcome one or more of the above-mentioned problems and/or limitations.

The present disclosure includes many aspects and features. Moreover, while many aspects and features relate to, and are described in the context of facilitating management of employee data, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to use only in this context.
In general, the method disclosed herein may be performed by one or more computing devices. For example, in some embodiments, the method may be performed by a server computer in communication with one or more client devices over a communication network such as, for example, the Internet. In some other embodiments, the method may be performed by one or more of at least one server computer, at least one client device, at least one network device, at least one sensor and at least one actuator. Examples of the one or more client devices and/or the server computer may include, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant, a portable electronic device, a wearable computer, a smart phone, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, a smart electrical appliance, a video game console, a rack server, a super-computer, a mainframe computer, mini-computer, micro-computer, a storage server, an application server (e.g. a mail server, a web server, a real-time communication server, an FTP server, a virtual server, a proxy server, a DNS server etc.), a quantum computer, and so on. Further, one or more client devices and/or the server computer may be configured for executing a software application such as, for example, but not limited to, an operating system (e.g. Windows, Mac OS, Unix, Linux, Android, etc.) in order to provide a user interface (e.g. GUI, touch-screen based interface, voice based interface, gesture based interface etc.) for use by the one or more users and/or a network interface for communicating with other devices over a communication network. Accordingly, the server computer may include a processing device configured for performing data processing tasks such as, for example, but not limited to, analyzing, identifying, determining, generating, transforming, calculating, computing, compressing, decompressing, encrypting, decrypting, scrambling, splitting, merging, interpolating, extrapolating, redacting, anonymizing, encoding and decoding. Further, the server computer may include a communication device configured for communicating with one or more external devices. The one or more external devices may include, for example, but are not limited to, a client device, a third party database, public database, a private database and so on. Further, the communication device may be configured for communicating with the one or more external devices over one or more communication channels. Further, the one or more communication channels may include a wireless communication channel and/or a wired communication channel. Accordingly, the communication device may be configured for performing one or more of transmitting and receiving of information in electronic form. Further, the server computer may include a storage device configured for performing data storage and/or data retrieval operations. In general, the storage device may be configured for providing reliable storage of digital information. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the storage device may be based on technologies such as, but not limited to, data compression, data backup, data redundancy, deduplication, error correction, data finger-printing, role based access control, and so on.
Further, one or more steps of the method disclosed herein may be initiated, maintained, controlled and/or terminated based on a control input received from one or more devices operated by one or more users such as, for example, but not limited to, an end user, an admin, a service provider, a service consumer, an agent, a broker and a representative thereof. Further, the user as defined herein may refer to a human, an animal or an artificially intelligent being in any state of existence, unless stated otherwise, elsewhere in the present disclosure. Further, in some embodiments, the one or more users may be required to successfully perform authentication in order for the control input to be effective. In general, a user of the one or more users may perform authentication based on the possession of a secret human readable secret data (e.g. username, password, passphrase, PIN, secret question, secret answer etc.) and/or possession of a machine readable secret data (e.g. encryption key, decryption key, bar codes, etc.) and/or or possession of one or more embodied characteristics unique to the user (e.g. biometric variables such as, but not limited to, fingerprint, palm-print, voice characteristics, behavioral characteristics, facial features, iris pattern, heart rate variability, evoked potentials, brain waves, and so on) and/or possession of a unique device (e.g. a device with a unique physical and/or chemical and/or biological characteristic, a hardware device with a unique serial number, a network device with a unique IP/MAC address, a telephone with a unique phone number, a smartcard with an authentication token stored thereupon, etc.). Accordingly, the one or more steps of the method may include communicating (e.g. transmitting and/or receiving) with one or more sensor devices and/or one or more actuators in order to perform authentication. For example, the one or more steps may include receiving, using the communication device, the secret human readable data from an input device such as, for example, a keyboard, a keypad, a touch-screen, a microphone, a camera and so on. Likewise, the one or more steps may include receiving, using the communication device, the one or more embodied characteristics from one or more biometric sensors.
Further, one or more steps of the method may be automatically initiated, maintained and/or terminated based on one or more predefined conditions. In an instance, the one or more predefined conditions may be based on one or more contextual variables. In general, the one or more contextual variables may represent a condition relevant to the performance of the one or more steps of the method. The one or more contextual variables may include, for example, but are not limited to, location, time, identity of a user associated with a device (e.g. the server computer, a client device etc.) corresponding to the performance of the one or more steps, environmental variables (e.g. temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, lighting, sound, etc.) associated with a device corresponding to the performance of the one or more steps, physical state and/or physiological state and/or psychological state of the user, physical state (e.g. motion, direction of motion, orientation, speed, velocity, acceleration, trajectory, etc.) of the device corresponding to the performance of the one or more steps and/or semantic content of data associated with the one or more users. Accordingly, the one or more steps may include communicating with one or more sensors and/or one or more actuators associated with the one or more contextual variables. For example, the one or more sensors may include, but are not limited to, a timing device (e.g. a real-time clock), a location sensor (e.g. a GPS receiver, a GLONASS receiver, an indoor location sensor etc.), a biometric sensor (e.g. a fingerprint sensor), an environmental variable sensor (e.g. temperature sensor, humidity sensor, pressure sensor, etc.) and a device state sensor (e.g. a power sensor, a voltage/current sensor, a switch-state sensor, a usage sensor, etc. associated with the device corresponding to performance of the or more steps).
Further, the one or more steps of the method may be performed one or more number of times. Additionally, the one or more steps may be performed in any order other than as exemplarily disclosed herein, unless explicitly stated otherwise, elsewhere in the present disclosure. Further, two or more steps of the one or more steps may, in some embodiments, be simultaneously performed, at least in part. Further, in some embodiments, there may be one or more time gaps between performance of any two steps of the one or more steps.
Further, in some embodiments, the one or more predefined conditions may be specified by the one or more users. Accordingly, the one or more steps may include receiving, using the communication device, the one or more predefined conditions from one or more and devices operated by the one or more users. Further, the one or more predefined conditions may be stored in the storage device. Alternatively, and/or additionally, in some embodiments, the one or more predefined conditions may be automatically determined, using the processing device, based on historical data corresponding to performance of the one or more steps. For example, the historical data may be collected, using the storage device, from a plurality of instances of performance of the method. Such historical data may include performance actions (e.g. initiating, maintaining, interrupting, terminating, etc.) of the one or more steps and/or the one or more contextual variables associated therewith. Further, machine learning may be performed on the historical data in order to determine the one or more predefined conditions. For instance, machine learning on the historical data may determine a correlation between one or more contextual variables and performance of the one or more steps of the method. Accordingly, the one or more predefined conditions may be generated, using the processing device, based on the correlation.
Further, one or more steps of the method may be performed at one or more spatial locations. For instance, the method may be performed by a plurality of devices interconnected through a communication network. Accordingly, in an example, one or more steps of the method may be performed by a server computer. Similarly, one or more steps of the method may be performed by a client computer. Likewise, one or more steps of the method may be performed by an intermediate entity such as, for example, a proxy server. For instance, one or more steps of the method may be performed in a distributed fashion across the plurality of devices in order to meet one or more objectives. For example, one objective may be to provide load balancing between two or more devices. Another objective may be to restrict a location of one or more of an input data, an output data and any intermediate data therebetween corresponding to one or more steps of the method. For example, in a client-server environment, sensitive data corresponding to a user may not be allowed to be transmitted to the server computer. Accordingly, one or more steps of the method operating on the sensitive data and/or a derivative thereof may be performed at the client device.
The present disclosure describes systems and methods for organizing displays of software applications running on a device.
Further, the present disclosure generally relates to software presentations. The present disclosure relates to a storyboard designed to organize how software applications are displayed.
Further, the present disclosure describes an innovative software system. Further, the innovative software system may be designed to provide a convenient means of organizing and controlling various software applications.
Further, the present disclosure describes a method of controlling the view state and location of software applications from an external separate window using a diagram-based approach where selecting a diagram element brings up associated locations and windows in the software application connected to the element, as well as associated annotation describing the software application state just invoked.
When showing the various states of a software application, the open windows, screen positions, and data are made visible/invisible in the application windows and the location and view of the data in the application windows. For example, in a geographic information system, the map windows, the location and zoom levels of the maps, and the current map themes and layer visibilities would be shown. In a dashboard application, the various dashboard windows, the charts, and the data filter applied to the data in each window would be shown. There is a sequence, context, and flow among these states that is not recorded in the software applications. Also, each state can have an annotation containing any kind of text or markup or even images or graphs to further illustrate or highlight the associated state of the software application.
The diagram (as shown in
The disclosed system allows a user to organize, sequence, and annotate various states of a software application for later replay or review and amendment. The disclosed system provides a framework for collecting and replaying the concepts, intentions, or narratives the user wants to present or manipulate.
When the storyboard system is opened, as shown in
The display step may further include a window control mechanism to allow users to pan and zoom around the diagram of the storyboard system to see the icons more easily as needed and hide or show the linked icons as needed.
The storyboard system provides the ability to monitor a software application, capture its current state (as defined above), and then set the software application to the state captured when “presenting” the diagram of the storyboard system.
The storyboard system may be part of any software application being enhanced by the storyboard feature, or it could be a separate software application that monitors, and controls other software applications being run by the storyboard system.
When the storyboard system is part of a software application, the storyboard system may be configured to be activated by a menu item in the software application.
When the storyboard system is provided as a separate software application, the storyboard system can be designed to monitor and control any software application, including an application interface for programmers to monitor and control.
