  • Patent number: 11600092
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, method, and computer program product that enhances the efficiency and quality of matches between intellectual content generated by authors and published by peer-reviewed journals. Stable matches between works and stakeholders are modelled, in a nonbinding manner, via a stable-matching problem (Gale-Shapley) algorithm. Via bulletin-board systems acting upon deidentified data, the LONGITUDE function enables journal editors to proactively and reliably commit time and other resources to manuscripts that are most mature and otherwise meritorious. Via the SCRIMSHAW function, COMPASS assists authors in drafting and editing papers that are based on quality-control and journal author guidelines and hence more likely to be accepted by journals. Functions of COMPASS are divisible into two major domains: “matching” and “dispatching.” The “matching” is fulfilled by three subfunctions: LONGITUDE, DECK WEDDING, and FATHOM.

  • Patent number: 11593762
    Abstract: An online document system can allow users to participate in collaborative negotiation of documents stored with in the online document system. To facilitate negotiations between multiple entities (each potentially including multiple users with different roles in the negotiation), the online document system includes a permissions system that allows per-clause control over user's access to propose and approve changes to a negotiated document. Similarly, the user interfaces for viewing a negotiated document provided by the online document system to users can depend on the role of that user in editing the document and the current stage of the negotiation of the document. Finally, the online document system can track agreement between sides in a negotiation on a per-clause basis and can otherwise help facilitate the negotiation of the document.

  • Patent number: 11562016
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating supplemental content for media content. One disclosed technique herein generates for display a page of an electronic book. A noun, and a word contextually related to the noun, are identified from the displayed page of the electronic book. Content structures are searched for a content structure that includes a matching object having an object name matching the noun. The content structure includes objects, where each object has attribute table entries. Upon finding an identified attribute table entry of the matching object that matches the related word, a new content structure is generated. The new content structure includes the matching object and the identified attribute table entry. A content segment is generated for output (e.g., for display on the electronic book) based on the new content structure.

  • Patent number: 11545997
    Abstract: A binary-coded structure document, (e.g., in an EXI format which is based on a structure document designed in a text-based description language, such as XML), is provided with a binary-coded index document, which is based on a structural part of the structure document. A storage representation of the binary-coded index document is stored in a working storage unit of the device, and the binary-coded structure document is stored in a background storage unit assigned to the device. A processing operation or a request by at least one processing process is carried out by accessing the storage representation of the binary-coded index document via an object interface, and in certain examples, fragments of the binary-coded structure document are loaded into the working storage unit by the object interface.

  • Patent number: 11481537
    Abstract: A document architecture system includes an intelligent document processing engine that can receive raw data streamed from external data source(s), analyze the raw data to identify triggering events, apply rules to the triggering events identified, break down the raw data accordingly, and generating messages in an internal format to represent the pieces of data without any formatting or layout information. The messages can be augmented with custom metadata and stored as fragments that reference, but that do not physically incorporate, the messages. The stored fragments can be used by the document process engine to intelligently render documents and versions thereof. The messages and fragments are in internal formats under control of the document architecture system. The renditions are in final formats that can be delivered, for instance, via an output connector to various output delivery channels.

  • Patent number: 11468223
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for at least semi-automated generation of model documentation. In an example embodiment, a template corresponding to a model is selected. User input populating portions of a build notebook is received. The build notebook comprises a model identifier identifying the model and executable code. The build notebook is executed using an execution engine to cause an intermediary file encoded in a type-setting system to be generated. Executing the build notebook causes cross-references of elements of the model documentation to be mapped to appropriate locations within the intermediary file. The elements comprise graphical representations of results of model tests executed on the model and/or extracted or user-defined artifacts required for the model documentation.

  • Patent number: 11429273
    Abstract: A touch-based tracking method comprises starting a GUI which displays an environment; observing at least one of the presence or absence of one or more targets in relation to features in the environment; when an observation is made, reporting the observation through the GUI to form an input; reporting the observation in the GUI with a hand gesture; applying an algorithm to convert the input into a probability distribution; and updating a target state estimate and alters the environment display. The environment may be an area or a map, and the map may include a plurality of features, e.g. roads, building structures, forest, and water. The observation indicates the presence or non-presence of the one or more targets. The hand gesture is made on the map, such as a swiping motion with one or more fingers on the GUI, wherein the hand gesture indicates the strength of the observation.

  • Patent number: 11397558
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to optimizing engagement with a display during digital assistant-performed operations in response to a received command. The digital assistant generates an overlay having user interface elements that present information determined to be relevant to a user based on the received command and contextual data. The overlay is presented over the underlying operations performed on corresponding applications to mask the visible steps of the operations being performed. In this way, the digital assistant optimizes display resources that are typically rendered useless during the processing of digital assistant-performed operations.
