  • Patent number: 10277662
    Abstract: A method and system of fulfilling a request for a desired photo. A request from a first service subscriber for a desired photo in a first data packet is received. Upon determining that the photo capturing device has the location compatibility and the hardware compatibility to fulfill the request for the desired photo, a fulfillment request is sent in a second data packet to the photo capturing device. Upon receiving a response photo from the photo capturing device, it is determined whether the response photo accommodates the desired photo. Upon determining that the response photo accommodates the desired photo, the response photo is sent to the first service subscriber.

  • Patent number: 10230677
    Abstract: An approach is described for identifying an entity associated with a communication in an online environment. An associated system may include a processor and a memory storing an application program, which, when executed on the processor, performs an operation. The operation may include receiving a communication within the online environment. The communication may include a plurality of sequential messages. The operation further may include facilitating parsing, via natural language processing, of language in the communication corresponding to an entity and one or more sentiments associated with the entity. The operation further may include determining whether the entity is unambiguously identifiable. Upon determining that the entity is not unambiguously identifiable, the operation may include identifying the entity based upon Bayesian inference.

  • Patent number: 10225227
    Abstract: An approach is described for identifying an entity associated with a communication in an online environment. A method pertaining to such approach may include receiving a communication within the online environment. The communication may be received via a communications network. The communication may include a plurality of sequential messages. The method further may include facilitating parsing, via natural language processing, of language in the communication corresponding to an entity and one or more sentiments associated with the entity. The method further may include determining whether the entity is unambiguously identifiable. Upon determining that the entity is not unambiguously identifiable, the method may include identifying the entity based upon Bayesian inference. According to an embodiment, determining whether the entity is unambiguously identifiable may include determining whether the entity is among a plurality of participants in the communication.

  • Patent number: 10169896
    Abstract: A sub-image of data of a first full image may be selected. The sub-image of data may at least partially obscure an object within the first full image. A request to replace the sub-image of data may be transmitted over a network. The request may include transmitting the full image and transmitting metadata associated with the first full image to one or more of a server computing device. The server computing device may analyze a history of images and select one or more images of the history of images that match one or more attributes of the metadata. The server computing device may replace the sub-image of data using the one or more images to generate at least a second full image that includes the object, wherein the object is not obscured. The second full image may be received over the network.

  • Publication number: 20180173524
    Abstract: A software container image that includes components dependent on a first computer instruction set architecture (ISA) is ported to enable a container to execute using the container image on a computer having a second ISA different from the first. Porting the container image entails replacing components of the container image not compatible with the second ISA with equivalent components compatible with the second ISA. The porting is performed, in some instances, dynamically as part of running a container with the container image on a computer implementing the second ISA.
