20140245204 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COLLECTING AND REPRESENTING FIELD DATA IN DISASTER AFFECTED AREAS - Methods and apparatus are disclosed that include the actions of identifying a target geographic area affected by a disaster event, and identifying event characteristics; providing a database with an initial attribute of the target area; obtaining field data related to the disaster event; updating the database with the field data; generating an augmented attribute of the target area based on a synthesis of the field data in the database; storing a representation of the augmented attribute. The representation may be a visual representation, including an augmented map of the target geographic area based on the event characteristics. The initial attribute may include an initial map of the target geographic area. The initial attribute of the target geographic area may be obtained from a weather data system or from a social media platform. Other embodiments may include corresponding systems, apparatus, and computer program products. | 2014-08-28 |
20140245205 | KEYBOARD NAVIGATION OF USER INTERFACE - Embodiments that relate to systems and methods for navigating a user interface via a keyboard are provided. In one embodiment, one or more keystroke events corresponding to one or more keystrokes are received from a listener module. The one or more keystrokes are associated with one or more keys that correspond to a navigation direction in the user interface. A current HTML element in the user interface is identified that has a keyboard focus and may receive input from a keyboard navigation module. A destination HTML element that is nearest to the current HTML element in the navigation direction and can receive keyboard focus is located in the user interface. The keyboard focus is then moved to the destination HTML element. | 2014-08-28 |
20140245206 | Object Visualization System - A method and apparatus for visually querying an aircraft. A model is identified for the aircraft. Sections of the aircraft are displayed in a graphical user interface on a display device. The sections correspond to sections as manufactured for assembly of the aircraft. The sections are selectable. | 2014-08-28 |
20140245207 | INTERFACES FOR PREDICTIVE MODELS - User interfaces for tools for estimating a probability that a future event will occur based on user input are described. One set of interfaces include rating, trend, cohort record and source controls each of which when selected provide corresponding data from one predictive model that produces predictions of the likelihood of an event occurring in the future based on analysis of data in a database. The system further displays a process of content produced by a model builder that populates the interfaces, and outputs thereof. | 2014-08-28 |
