Publication number: 20230222792Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for recognizing objects and providing content related to the recognized objects are described. In one aspect, a method includes detecting presence of one or more objects depicted in a viewfinder of a camera of the mobile device. In response to detecting the presence of the one or more objects, image data representing the one or more objects is sent to a content distribution system that selects content related to objects depicted in images. A location of each of the one or more objects in the viewfinder of the camera is tracked while waiting to receive content from the content distribution system. Content related to the one or more objects is received from the content distribution system. A current location of each object in the viewfinder is determined and the content related to the object is presented within the viewfinder at the current location of the object.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Ibrahim Badr, Roland Peter Kehl, Kaan Yucer, Thomas Jonathan Stone, Gokhan H.

Publication number: 20230107935Abstract: This disclosure relates to digital video analysis. In one aspect, a method includes providing a user interface that enables a user of the computing system to select one or more seed video groups and one or more keywords, wherein each seed video group comprises one or more videos. The user interface is updated to provide candidate video groups selected based on the one or more seed video groups and the one or more keywords and, for each candidate video group, a first user interface control that enables the user to refine the set of candidate video groups to include video groups classified as being similar to the candidate video group. Data indicating user interaction with a given first user interface control for a first candidate video group is received. The user interface is updated to provide an updated set of candidate video groups.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2021Publication date: April 6, 2023Inventors: Andrea Martinelli, Masoud S.

Publication number: 20220335908Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that includes a display panel that includes a segmented backlight and a display engine, where, for each segment in the segmented backlight, the display engine communicates to the display panel an identifier that indicates if a brightness value of the segment in a next frame in a video stream will change from a brightness value of the segment in a current frame in the video stream. The display panel can include a timing controller (TCON) and the TCON uses the identifier for each segment in the segmented backlight to determine if a brightness of a specific backlight segment for the next frame can be a same level as a brightness of the specific backlight segment for the current frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Geethacharan Rajagopalan, Roland Peter Wooster

Publication number: 20120294114Abstract: Sensor and communications systems are disclosed for communicating measurements from subsea equipment, such as at an offshore well, to the surface. A sensor for a physical parameter, such as pressure or temperature at a blowout preventer, capping stack, or conduit in communication with the same, is electrically connected to a subsea acoustic transponder. An acoustic communications device, for example an acoustic transducer and transceiver electronics deployed on a remotely-operated vehicle, interrogates the acoustic transponder with an acoustic signal, in response to which the acoustic transponder transmits an acoustic signal encoded with the measurement. The acquired measurement data are then communicated to a redundant network at the surface. The sensor and acoustic transponder systems can be installed after an event at the subsea equipment, such as blowout of the well.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2012Publication date: November 22, 2012Applicants: BP EXPLORATION OPERATING COMPANY LIMITED, BP CORPORATION NORTH AMERICA INC.Inventors: Matt Gochnour, Adam Dudley Lawrence Hudson, Roland Peter Sauermann, Jonathan Peter Davis, Douglas Graham Wood, Christopher John Curran
