The method for displaying the active friend information includes receiving an activity information checking instruction, where the activity information checking instruction is generated when a user triggers an entry control on a message page; and displaying an active friend list, where the active friend list displays activity information of an active friend of the user, and the active friend is a friend who is online in a recent preset time period. In this manner, a process of checking the active friend information is simplified and the time spent on checking the active friend information is shortened.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: BEIJING BYTEDANCE NETWORK TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Jiannan Xu, Weiyi Chang, Chao Zhang, Ruipeng Liu, Lianying Li, Yuchen Peng, Ziyang Zheng -
Patent number: 11926697Abstract: The present invention provides a fluorine-containing liquid crystal polymer of Formula (1). The present invention also discloses a fluorine-containing liquid crystal elastomer, which comprises a copolymer of a fluorine-containing liquid crystal polymer of Formula (1) with a near-infrared dye of Formula (2). The fluorine-containing liquid crystal elastomer of the present invention shrinks due to the photothermal conversion effect of the material under the irradiation of near-infrared light, and thus is widely applicable to the field of actuators. The fluorine-containing liquid crystal polymer of the present invention introduces fluorine-containing segments into the cross-linked network of the liquid crystal polymer, to improve the mechanical performance of the material, and greatly extend the service time of light-controlled actuators.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: SOOCHOW UNIVERSITYInventors: Zhenping Cheng, Kai Tu, Enjie He, Jiannan Cheng, Lifen Zhang, Xiulin Zhu

Patent number: 11923092Abstract: Various embodiments of a fall-detection system for detecting personal fall while preserving the privacy of a detected person are disclosed. This disclosed fall-detection system can begin by receiving a sequence of video images comprising a person being monitored. The disclosed fall-detection system then processes each video image in the sequence of video images by: detecting the person in the video image; and extracting a skeletal figure of the detected person by identifying a set of human keypoints from the detected person. Next, the disclosed fall-detection system processes the sequence of skeletal figures corresponding to the sequence of video images by labeling each skeletal figure in the sequence of skeletal figures with an action among a set of predetermined actions. The disclosed fall-detection system subsequently generates a fall/non-fall decision for the detected person based on the set of action labels corresponding to the sequence of video images.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Altum View Systems Inc.Inventors: Andrew Tsun-Hong Au, Dong Zhang, Chi Chung Chan, Jiannan Zheng
