  • Personal information database modification and monitoring
    Patent number: 11934376
    Abstract: A database management engine provides a user interface that allows users to access and modify employee information in a database. The database includes entries for employees, and each database entry includes identifying information about the associated employee. A user can request to modify data within database entries, for instance in order to update information associated with an employee. Responsive to the request, the database management engine identifies liabilities associated with the database modification stemming from associated tax laws. Based on the identified tax liabilities, the engine computes the aggregate tax liability owed by the employer and/or employee. Before modifying a database entry, the engine modifies the user interface to include interface elements detailing the computed aggregate tax liability. The user explicitly can be required to confirm the database modification in view of the aggregate tax liability.

  • Video conference user interface layout based on face detection
    Patent number: 11877084
    Abstract: A method may include obtaining a frame of a video stream of multiple video streams of a video conference, obtaining face detection information identifying a face size and a face position of at least one face detected in the frame, and cropping and scaling the frame according to at least one crop and scale parameter using the face detection information to obtain a modified first frame. The at least one crop and scale parameter is based on frames of the multiple video streams. The frames include the frame. The method may further include presenting the modified frame.
