Patent number: 11100623Abstract: A method of estimating an indoor lighting condition includes acquiring an image from a camera at a location within an indoor space at a selected time, determining the location from which the image is taken, and estimating an outdoor sunlight density based on the location and the selected time. The method also includes collecting a plurality of daylight factors, each daylight factor of the plurality of daylight factors corresponding to a characteristic of the indoor space, calculating an indoor daylight index for the indoor space in real time based on the outdoor sunlight density and the plurality of daylight factors, and presenting the indoor daylight index to a user in real time.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Howard N. Anglin, Wei Ting Dong, Shi Kun Li, Su Liu

Patent number: 11093542Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for multimedia object management. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is disclosed and the method may be implemented by one or more processors in a computer. In the method, a graphic pattern indicating a request for searching in a repository for at least one target object may be received. A search condition may be obtained from the received graphic pattern by a graphical analysis. Based on an association model indicating associations between the search condition and at least one feature of one or more objects in the repository, at least one target object may be found according to the obtained search condition. In other implementations, a computer-implemented system and a computer program product for searching for at least one target object is disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2017Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Wei Ting Dong, Shi Kun Li, Ying Li, Su Liu, Jun Qian Zhou

Patent number: 10929705Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for cataloging images based on a gridded color histogram analysis. The computer accesses an image gallery specified by a user, wherein the image gallery is at least one of an image gallery stored on a user computing device, an image gallery stored on a user account at a third-party image storage, or an image gallery searched on the web. The computer receives a request to search the image gallery specified by the user. The computer performs a search of the image gallery, wherein the search is using a color based histogram algorithm based on a user input. The computer transmits a cataloged and sorted image gallery to the user computing device to be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2020Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jeffrey A. Calcaterra, Wei Ting Dong, Shi Kun Li, Su Liu
