  • Patent number: 11314725
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a review application accesses a review file containing a text-based comment describing a change to an object in a design file. The design file is created and editable in a design application different from the review application. The review application determines, from the text-based comment, a tool in the design application configured to implement the change to the object described in the text-based comment. The review application updates the user interface to include a user interface of the tool along with the text-based comment and receives, through the user interface of the tool, a confirmation of applying the change to the object in the design file. The review application further causes the change to the object to be applied to the design file.

  • Patent number: 11302360
    Abstract: Review videos on product pages are enhanced with user interface elements that cause playback of the review videos at points at which particular topics are discussed. A review video is processed by converting speech to text and timestamping the text. Topics are identified in the text, and a time in the review video corresponding to each topic is identified from the timestamps for the text. In some configurations, sentiment is also determined for each topic. User interface elements corresponding to each identified topic are presented with the review video on the product page. When a user viewing the product page selects a user interface element, the review video is played at a time corresponding to the topic of the selected user interface element.

  • Patent number: 11276039
    Abstract: A method and a role-agnostic interaction management system (IMS) dynamically embedded into an editing application define codified decision rules (CDRs) associated with actions and inductively sequence a workflow(s) in a workflow-embedded content entity. The IMS automatically generates a satellite content entity (SCE) carrying an inductive action condition (IAC) for each allocation of a master content entity (MCE) to one or more participants for inducing the workflow sequence(s). Using the CDRs, the IMS dynamically generates a permission set for each SCE, and comments and regions within the SCE. The IMS contextually anonymizes the participants invoked to act on each SCE based on an anonymity requirement. The IMS tracks and maps actions performed along an interaction path of each SCE, while transmitting and executing the permission set, until each SCE reaches an intended closure and the comments reach a resolution to generate one or more re-deployable workflow sequences from the MCE.

  • Patent number: 11250206
    Abstract: A system and method for converting a form to an action card format for a chat-based application is described. The system accesses an unfilled form and identifies one or more converters based on a format of the unfilled form. The system then identifies fields in the unfilled form using the one or more converters. A document model is generated based on the fields and a layout of the fields. The system determines the layout based on a visual alignment and logical relation of the fields. The system forms a digital interactive workflow based on the document model.

  • Patent number: 11237005
    Abstract: Described herein is a method and arrangement (11) for sourcing of location information, generating and updating maps (16) representing the location. From at least two road vehicle (12) passages at the location is obtained (1, 2) vehicle registered data on the surrounding environment from environment sensors and positioning data from consumer-grade satellite positioning arrangements and from at least one of an inertial measurement unit and a wheel speed sensor. The positioning data is smoothed (3) to establish continuous trajectories for the respective vehicles (12). Individual surrounding environment maps are created using the data from each respective vehicle (12) passage at the location. From the individual surrounding environment maps are identified submaps (15) sharing area segments. Pairs of submaps (15) sharing area segments are cross-correlated (6).
