Publication number: 20240168613Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for controlling smart devices are described. In one aspect a method includes receiving image data for an image captured by a camera of a mobile device of a user and determining that the image depicts at least one of a smart device or a physical control for the smart device. In response to determining that that the image depicts a smart device or a physical control for the smart device, identifying one or more user interface controls for controlling the smart device, and generating and presenting, at a display of the mobile device, the one or more user interface controls for controlling the smart device. The method can further include detecting, at the display of the mobile device, user interaction with at least one of the one or more user interface controls, and controlling the smart device based on the detected user interaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Ibrahim Badr, Gokhan H.

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. Loghmani, Roland Peter Kehl, Bernhard Rudolf Suter, Daniel Cotting, Dan Filimon

Publication number: 20230081938Abstract: This disclosure relates to digital video analysis. In one aspect, a method includes receiving data indicating one or more seed video groups that each include one or more seed videos. Data indicating one or more keywords is received. A set of candidate video groups that each include one or more candidate videos is identifier. For each candidate video group in the set of candidate video groups a co-interaction score and a topicality score are determined. A subset of the candidate videos groups is selected based on the co-interaction score and the topicality score of each candidate video group. Data indicating the subset of candidate video groups is provided for presentation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2021Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Andrea Martinelli, Masoud S.
