Patent number: 11651663Abstract: An article recognition device includes an image interface, a distance information interface, a support unit, and a processor. The support unit supports an article at a height equal to or greater than a minimum discrimination distance of a distance sensor from a reference plane of the distance sensor and includes a member of which a distance cannot be measured by the distance sensor. The processor acquires a captured image capturing the article supported by the support unit through the image interface, acquires distance information measured by the distance sensor toward the reference plane through the distance information interface, extracts an area having a height equal to or greater than the minimum discrimination distance from the reference plane as an article area of the article from the captured image based on the distance information, and recognizes the article from an image of the article area.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: TOSHIBA TEC KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Norimasa Ariga, Masaaki Yasunaga, Tetsuya Nobuoka

Patent number: 11645389Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and computer readable media related to fraud detection. Fraud detection is achieved using a flexible scripting language and syntax that simplifies the generation of fraud detection rules. The rules are structured as conditional IF-THEN statements that include data objects referred to as Anchors and Add-Ons. The Anchors and Add-Ons used to generate the rules also correspond to a distinct data path for the retrieval data from any of a variety of data sources. The retrieval of data from the various data sources is optimized based on data dependencies within the rules. By knowing the data dependencies of each rule and utilizing parallelization of rule execution, the retrievals of data from the data sources is achieved efficiently so the rules can be executed quickly.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2019Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: MASTERCARD TECHNOLOGIES CANADA ULCInventors: Yi Wei Tseng, Randy Lukashuk, Perry McGee, Amiran Gigiberia, Andrew Giblin, Kenny Wan, Andrian Sevastyanov

Patent number: 11625472Abstract: At least one aspect of the present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of converting static content items into interactive content items. A data processing system can identify a first content item. The data processing system can divide, in accordance with a partition template, the visual content of the first content item into a plurality of segments. The partition template can define a number of segments to be formed from the visual content. The data processing system can generate a second script. The second script can assign each segment into a position. The script can enable movement of each segment within the frame. The script can determine that the segments are moved to a target position. The script can perform an action to provide information related to the visual content. The data processing system can provide the second content item to a client device.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2019Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Sara Adkins, Tommy Shimko, Miao Xing, Nathan Lucash, Weiming Liu

Patent number: 11627119Abstract: The present invention provides methods, apparatuses, and systems for delivering protected streaming content to a receiving device. In an aspect of the present invention, a broadcaster provides streaming content. To ensure viewers are properly authorized, the streaming content is encrypted with a traffic key. The traffic key is provided to the users via a key stream message, which is encrypted with a service key. The user obtains at least one rights object from a rights issuers and the at least one rights object includes the service key so that the streaming content may be used. The at least one rights object also contains information regarding usage rights that may be configured by the rights issuer so that, depending on the user and/or the receiving device, different rights may be available. The key stream message may include a program category variable value that indicates the type of content and in conjunction with the rights object, determines what usage rights exist for the streaming content.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2021Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Pekka Lahtinen, Jukka Alve
