Patent number: 11573764Abstract: A framework for generating and presenting verbal command suggestions to facilitate discoverability of commands capable of being understood and support users exploring available commands. A target associated with a direct-manipulation input is received from a user via a multimodal user interface. A set of operations relevant to the target is selected and verbal command suggestions relevant to the selected set of operations and the determined target are generated. At least a portion of the generated verbal command suggestions is provided for presentation in association with the multimodal user interface in one of three interface variants: one that presents command suggestions as a list, one that presents command suggestions using contextual overlay windows, and one that presents command suggestions embedded within the interface. Each of the proposed interface variants facilitates user awareness of verbal commands that are capable of being executed and teaches users how available verbal commands can be invoked.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2021Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Lubomira Dontcheva, Arjun Srinivasan, Seth John Walker, Eytan Adar

Publication number: 20200051302Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to a streamlined animation production workflow that integrates script drafting, performance, and editing. A script including animation events is parsed to encode the animation events into nodes of a story model. The animation events are automatically triggered by a performance as a playhead advances through the story model and identifies active node(s). A command interface accepts various commands that allow a performer to act as a director by controlling recording and playback. Recording binds a generated animation event to each active node. Playback triggers generated animation events for active nodes. An animated movie is assembled from the generated animation events in the story model. The animated movie can be presented as a live preview to provide feedback to the performer, and a teleprompter interface can guide a performer by presenting and advancing the script to follow the performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2018Publication date: February 13, 2020Inventors: Hariharan Subramonyam, Eytan Adar, Lubomira Assenova Dontcheva, Wilmot Wei-Mau Li

Patent number: 9069872Abstract: Web page change may be related to revisitation patterns to support web interaction. In an example embodiment, a method involves analyzing change and revisitation data for a web page, determining a relationship between the data, inferring consumption intent by a user for the web page, and utilizing the inferred consumption intent. More specifically, change data is analyzed to produce a change characterization, with the change data reflecting differences between content of a web page at different times. Revisitation data is analyzed to produce a revisitation characterization, with the revisitation data including visit times to the web page by a user. A relationship is determined between the change and the revisitation data based on the change and the revisitation characterizations. Consumption intent of the user for the content of the web page is inferred responsive to the relationship. The inferred consumption intent is utilized to support interaction with the web page.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2011Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Eytan Adar, Jaime B.

Patent number: 8312003Abstract: Computer method and apparatus for collaborative web search operate in an intranet with non-existent or defective link structure. A search engine produces an initial search result list in response to a user query. A list optimizer reranks pages on the initial list based on implicit user recommendation or endorsement of pages. A last click heuristic defines user endorsement of a page. To form the final result list, the list optimizer scores each page according to reranking, a textual match (or information retrieval score) of the page with the query and an adjustment value.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2004Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Boaz Patt-Shamir, Mark Rogers Tuttle, Eytan Adar

Patent number: 8005833Abstract: Demographic information of an Internet user is predicted based on an analysis of accessed web pages. Web pages accessed by the Internet user are detected and mapped to a user path vector which is converted to a normalized weighted user path vector. A centroid vector identifies web page access patterns of users with a shared user profile attribute. The user profile attribute is assigned to the Internet user based on a comparison of the vectors. Bias values are also assigned to a set of web pages and a user profile attribute can be predicted for an Internet user based on the bias values of web pages accessed by the user. User attributes can also be predicted based on the results of an expectation maximization process. Demographic information can be predicted based on the combined results of a vector comparison, bias determination, or expectation maximization process.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2006Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Eytan Adar, Lada A.
