A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for automatically drawing infographics. Variables of a dataset are received from a computing device that were selected by the user of the computing device. For those selected variables that are associated with a data model, a procedure to draw infographics for variables assigned or not assigned the role of a target using the data model associated with each of the variables assigned or not assigned the role of target, respectively, is implemented. Alternatively, if the selected variables are not associated with a data model, then such variables are assigned a level of measurement as well as assigned the role of input. Such assignments become the data model which, along with the metadata (e.g., values of the variable) obtained by parsing the original data, are used to implement the procedure to draw infographics for variables not assigned the role of a target.

Automatically drawing infographics for statistical data based on a data model

Using a set of menu to key process mappings, historical menu usage data for an application is aggregated into aggregated key process usage data. A set of key process association rules, each comprising a consequent key process given a particular antecedent key process, is generated. From the set of key process association rules and a set of ranked menus by frequency of usage within each key process, a set of model menu recommendations is generated. According to an application usage history, a menu frequency ratio, and a confidence value of a modelled next menu, the set of menu recommendations is scored. A scored menu recommendation having a rank below a threshold rank is pruned from a set of menu items of the application ranked according to their scores. The pruned set of scored menu recommendations is presented for selection instead of the set of menu items.

Behavior based menu item recommendation and pruning

The present invention provides a method, computer system and computer program product for generating a defect description. According to the method, one or more keywords from a user for depicting a defect encountered when using a software product are received. A search for one or more terms matching at least one of the keywords and a path corresponding to the one or more terms in an operation map is conducted, wherein the operation map includes terms and paths describing all possible operations of a software product based on a user interface of the software product. And in response to the one or more terms matching the at least one of the keywords and a corresponding path are searched out, a defect description based on the one or more matched terms, the corresponding path and the received keywords is generated.

Defect description generation for a software product

A movement platform connected to a virtual reality system may have a plurality of movement units. A movement unit may have a sphere with one or more motors and one or more sensors. The one or more motors may rotate the sphere to move a user. The one or more sensors may detect movement or force from the user.

VR movement platform

In some embodiments, a movement platform may be used to develop force models for the determination of movement based on force patterns received from the movement platform. A force model is made by comparing a known user movement to force readings recorded during the user movement. Movement platform force readings may be compared to a plurality of force models to determine a user movement. Once a matching force model is determined, the matching force model may be used to generate instructions for moving a user on the movement platform.
