  • Publication number: 20240134597
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for a question search for meaningful questions that appear in a video. In an example embodiment, an audio track from a video is transcribed, and the transcript is parsed to identify sentences that end with a question mark. Depending on the embodiment, one or more types of questions are filtered out, such as short questions less than a designated length or duration, logistical questions, and/or rhetorical questions. As such, in response to a command to perform a question search, the questions are identified, and search result tiles representing video segments of the questions are presented. Selecting (e.g., clicking or tapping on) a search result tile navigates a transcript interface to a corresponding portion of the transcript.

  • Publication number: 20240134909
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for a visual and text search interface used to navigate a video transcript. In an example embodiment, a freeform text query triggers a visual search for frames of a loaded video that match the freeform text query (e.g., frame embeddings that match a corresponding embedding of the freeform query), and triggers a text search for matching words from a corresponding transcript or from tags of detected features from the loaded video. Visual search results are displayed (e.g., in a row of tiles that can be scrolled to the left and right), and textual search results are displayed (e.g., in a row of tiles that can be scrolled up and down). Selecting (e.g., clicking or tapping on) a search result tile navigates a transcript interface to a corresponding portion of the transcript.

  • Patent number: 6535796
    Abstract: A process and device for characterising complex fluids such as emulsions, gels, surfactant solutions and others and appliances resulting therefrom for characterising fluids on the basis of the process used. The process comprises simultaneously managing the device controlling the preparation process and the measuring device. The results of the measurements and the parameters controlling the preparation process are displayed on a common computer screen in real time, thereby enabling to establish a correlation between measurements, observation and control of the process. Two devices are disclosed, a first which is a single-function device for characterising complex fluids being manufactured, and a second, which is a multiple function device for use in laboratory formulation.
