  • Patent number: 11687581
    Abstract: An end-to-end software framework is provided for information extraction, enrichment, and caching in applications that involve exploring real-world data through a camera-based viewport in an augmented reality (AR) setting. It allows users to gather supplementary information through cross-modal data fusion against cloud-based datastores. Additional context is provided by retrieving data units from remote datastores that are relevant to the queried item. Given that such datastores often do not fit in main memory, a client-server architecture is used. Users interact with real-world objects via a camera-enabled client interface, and queries are executed using gesture-based interactions as supplementary information is retrieved from a back-end server (if necessary) and overlaid in the client's live camera-view.

  • Patent number: 11681740
    Abstract: In various implementations, streams are sent and received by a computing device engaged in an authoring session with respect to an electronic document. The computing device stores the streams in multiple container files associated with an instance of the electronic document open on the computing device. The device maintains an indices file to reflect a presence of the streams in the container files, such that fast access can be provided to the streams at a later time. The indices file comprises multiple probabilistic data structures corresponding to the container files that each indicate on a probabilistic basis whether a given stream is present in a corresponding one of the container files. The computing device uses the indices file to retrieve the streams from the container files.

  • Patent number: 11681739
    Abstract: A server obtains user data for a respective user, including data corresponding to the respective user's consumption of media in a first content domain. Before obtaining, for the respective user, data corresponding to a second content domain, the server uses a neural network to generate a user embedding for the respective user based on the user data. The server generates, for a plurality of content items of the second content domain consumed by users other than the respective user, a respective content item embedding. The respective content item embedding is based on user embeddings of the at least one user other than the respective user. The server system determines, using the user embedding for the respective user and respective content item embeddings, a first content item in the second content domain that meets matching criteria for the respective user and provides the first content item to the respective user.
