Patent number: 11663416Abstract: A software agent, that is used to assist in providing a service, receives communications from a set of users that are attempting to use the software agent. The communications include communications that are interacting with the software agent, and communications that are not interacting with the software agent. The software agent performs natural language processing on all communications to identify such things as user sentiment, user concerns or other items in the content of the messages, and also to identify actions taken by the users in order to obtain a measure of user satisfaction with the software agent. One or more action signals are then generated based upon the identified user satisfaction with the software agent.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2020Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Benjamin Gene Cheung, Andres Monroy-Hernandez, Todd Daniel Newman, Mayerber Loureiro De Carvalho Neto, Michael Brian Palmer, Pamela Bhattacharya, Justin Brooks Cranshaw, Charles Yin-Che Lee

Patent number: 10909484Abstract: A set of nodes are organized into a graph to represent a workflow to enable the dynamic and directed management of that workflow in a decentralized system. Each node maintains a value necessary for execution of the workflow, and includes code to populate that value. A workflow agent manages the population of the values according to an identified dependency structure for the nodes relative to the workflow. As changes are made to the workflow, the workflow agent ensures that values and dependencies of the nodes stay up-to-date. Each node retains historic values, which enables the workflow agent to query several states of the workflow throughout time as changes are made thereto. The dynamic management of the nodes improves the responsiveness of the system to changes, thereby improving computational efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2017Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael Brian Palmer, Emad Mohamed Hamdy Elwany, Justin Brooks Cranshaw, Pamela Bhattacharya, Mayerber Loureiro De Carvalho Neto, Charles Yin-che Lee, Benjamin Gene Cheung, Andres Monroy-Hernandez, Todd Daniel Newman

Patent number: 10887608Abstract: A method for encoding a raw lenselet image includes a receiving phase, wherein at least a portion of a raw lenselet image is received, the image including a plurality of macro-pixels, each macro-pixel having pixels corresponding to a specific view angle for the same point of a scene, and an output phase, wherein a bitstream having at least a portion of an encoded lenselet image is outputted. The method has an image transform phase, wherein the pixels of said raw lenselet image are spatially displaced in a transformed multi-color image having a larger number of columns and rows with respect to the received raw lenselet image, wherein dummy pixels having undefined value are inserted into the raw lenselet image and wherein the displacement is performed so as to put the estimated center location of each macro-pixel onto integer pixel locations.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Sisvel Technology S.R.L.Inventors: Yung-Hsuan Chao, Gene Cheung, Antonio Ortega

Publication number: 20190333022Abstract: A time aggregation and control system detects when an automated scheduling assistant is invoked to perform a scheduling operation. It detects scheduling characteristics corresponding to the scheduling operation and identifies a time saving value corresponding to the scheduling operation. The time saving value is aggregated over a plurality of different scheduling operations until a time block trigger is detected. A scheduling control signal is generated, to automatically reserve a block of time, based upon the aggregated time saving values.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2018Publication date: October 31, 2019Inventors: Charles Yin-Che LEE, Pamela BHATTACHARYA, Mayerber LOUREIRO DE CARVALHO NETO, Warren JOHNSON, Juliana Pena OCAMPO, Chala FUFA, Benjamin Gene CHEUNG, Shahil SONI

Patent number: 9462306Abstract: Stream-switching techniques are applied in a content delivery system. A merge frame is generated as a function of bit-rates, distortion, and a piecewise constant operator. Parameters of the piecewise constant operator are selected to optimize the merge frame. Data streams are switched based on bandwidth requirements, switch requests, and throughput of a network. Images are reconstructed based on the merge frames and prediction frames. Reconstructed images are identically reconstructed for any prediction frame based on the merge frame.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: The Hong Kong University of Science and TechnologyInventors: Oscar Chi Lim Au, Wei Dai, Gene Cheung, Ngai Man Cheung, Antonio Ortega Diego
