  • Patent number: 10102246
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for using natural language processing techniques to define, manipulate, and interact with consumer segmentations. In such embodiments a content consumption analytics engine can be configured to receive and process a natural language segmentation query. The query may comprise, for example, a command that defines a new segmentation, a command that manipulates existing segmentations, or a command that solicits information relating to existing consumer segmentations. The query is parsed to identify individual grammatical tokens which are then correlated with specific segment token types through the use of a token repository. A custom thesaurus is used to identify synonymous terms for grammatical tokens which may not exist in the token repository. User feedback enables the custom thesaurus to learn additional synonyms for future use.

  • Patent number: 10102191
    Abstract: A method for propagating changes from master content to variant content includes receiving, from a user interface, a modified master text composition that incorporates changes to a master text composition. Each of the master text composition, the modified master text composition, and a variant text composition assigned to the master text composition are divided into text units. A correspondence model is constructed that includes mappings between the text units of the master text composition, the text units of the modified master text composition, and the text units of the variant text composition. Proposed changes to the variant text composition are determined that correspond to the changes to the master text composition based on the mappings. At least one of the proposed changes is integrated into the variant text composition.

  • Publication number: 20180293393
    Abstract: An intended signatory receives an electronic signature request that includes instructions for accessing both an unsigned document and server functionality that enables the intended signatory to electronically sign the document. To gain such access, the intended signatory must pass username and password authentication, which serves as a first authentication factor. After the intended signatory is authenticated, he/she can access the unsigned document. However, once the intended signatory is initially authenticated, it can be assumed that his/her work session is subject to being misappropriated by an unauthorized user. Thus, when a command to apply an electronic signature to the document is invoked, the would-be signatory must pass keystroke biometrics authentication, which serves as a second authentication factor.

  • Patent number: 10097670
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for providing electronic advertising content to a client device notwithstanding use of an ad-blocker on the client device. For example, systems and methods described herein involve establishing a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection with a peer device that does not include an ad-blocker thereon. The systems and methods further involve providing an ad request to the peer device to provide to an ad server and subsequently deliver a response to the ad request to the client device via the P2P connection. In this way, the peer device can function as a proxy device for the ad server that enables delivery to the client device notwithstanding use of the ad-blocker on the client device.

  • Patent number: 10096139
    Abstract: Certain embodiments involve generating graphical depictions of data sets based on mapping paths of graphical objects to data properties. In one example, a graphics editing application displays a graphical interface for mapping a vector-based graphic to a data set. The vector-based graphic includes graphical objects defined by connected paths. The graphical interface receives input specifying modifications to visual properties of different graphical objects. For graphical objects mapped to data properties in the data set, the graphics editing application applies constraints to visual property modifications, where the constraints are based on mappings to the data properties in the data set. For graphical objects without mappings to data properties, the graphics editing application applies visual property modifications without these constraints.

  • Patent number: 10097652
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to identifying website visitors. Initially, a predictor is trained with a set of data of known website visitors to identify a rule with the highest effectiveness score. To do so, each rule in a set of rules is applied to all cookies in the set of data. Based on a selected goal of identifying unknown website visitors, the rule with the highest effectiveness score is identified. To identify a cookie of an unknown website visitor, a cookie representation corresponding to the cookie is identified. The cookie representation represents the cookie in a numeric vector space and can computed based on hits in log data and a selection of variables. Utilizing the cookie representation, a cookie-stitching rule is selected and applied to the cookie. In this way, a website visitor associated with the cookie can be identified.

  • Publication number: 20180286462
    Abstract: A digital medium environment includes an audio processing application that generates a user interface for editing audio data. Sound effects are displayed each with a single adjuster according to an ordered workflow based on a mix type of an audio clip, such as music, dialogue, etc. Adjustment of a single adjuster for a sound effect causes adjustment of multiple parameters of an effects processor underlying the sound effect. Furthermore, effects processors corresponding to selected sound effects are placed in an effects rack in a correct order, rather than in an order in which the sound effects are selected, thus correcting user mistakes. The techniques described herein allow users of varied skill levels to work on a same project, and provide a dynamic interface suitable to the user's skill level that also facilitates comparative testing with an audio effect disabled and subsequently enabled without dropouts in the rendered audio.

  • Publication number: 20180285930
    Abstract: In implementations of a service system to determine journeys based on companion relationship, a server computing device maintains event information about events associated with previous visitors within a designated geographic region, and a devices graph that correlates user identities with devices. A journey determination application can receive an indication that a mobile device has entered the designated geographic region, and correlate the mobile device to an identity of a user. A companion device that is associated with the mobile device can be determined based on companionship information identifying the association of the devices, and the companion device correlates to a companion. The journey determination application determines a journey based on a relationship of the companion to the user of the mobile device and based on the events associated with the previous visitors within the designated geographic region, the journey being designed to elicit a location-based visitor response from the user.

  • Patent number: 10089759
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide drawing assistance to a user that improves the user's ability to draw accurate perspective drawings. In general, a drawing assistance system provides a homography that annotates guidelines over an image and connects lined features of the image to a corresponding vanishing point. More specifically, the homography provides a perspective grid to the user that assists the user in adding drawing strokes to a drawing using the proper perspective. In addition, the drawing assistance system can adjust a user's drawing stroke to properly align with a vanishing point. Further, in some embodiments, the drawing assistance system allows a user to add an asset into a drawing such that the asset is displayed in the proper perspective, even after a user moves the asset within a drawing.
