  • Patent number: 12264932
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to interactions, between vehicle computing devices and mobile computing devices, that reduce duplicative processes from occurring at either device. Reduction of such processes can be performed, in some instances, via communications between a vehicle computing device and a mobile computing device in order to determine, for example, how to uniquely render content at an interface of each respective computing device while the user is driving the vehicle. These communications can occur before a user has entered a vehicle, while the user is in the vehicle, and/or after a user has left the vehicle. For instance, just before a user enters a vehicle, a vehicle computing device can be primed for certain automated assistant interactions between the user and their mobile computing device. Alternatively, or additionally, the user can authorize the vehicle computing device to perform certain processes immediately after leaving the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12260004
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided herein for rendering secured content. For instance, a computing device may be utilized to view content that is to be displayed via a display device coupled thereto. However, rather than rendering the content, the computing device generates and/or provides a graphical representation of the content to a rendering device coupled between the computing device and the display device. The rendering device analyzes the graphical representation to determine characteristics of the graphical representation, characteristics of a display region of an application window in which the content is to be rendered, and a network address at which the actual content is located. The rendering device retrieves the content using the network address and renders the retrieved content over the display region of the application window in accordance with the characteristics determined for the graphical representation and the display region of the application window.

  • Patent number: 12174869
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for implementing machine learning natural language digital package generation and selection is provided. The method includes receiving from hardware and software sources, factual data associated with an event. In response, natural language digital templates comprising natural language phrase variants for each portion of the factual data is generated. Factual data phrases are generated and packaged into digital packages including at least one natural language phrase variant with respect to each portion of factual data. An initial package is selected by minimizing a number of repetitions of the factual data phrases across the digital packages and digital summaries are extracted. Alignment attributes associated with the digital summaries are determined with respect to the initial package and a final package is selected. A hardware device is enabled for presenting a video stream including the final package with respect to the event.

  • Patent number: 12131392
    Abstract: A system and method for recommending matches between persons are provided. Data processing is performed using artificial intelligence technology. A supervised machine learning engine is trained from empirical data about existing relationships which have been evaluated as to quality of the relationships. Quality of candidate relationships is calculated as an output of the supervised machine learning engine when provided input data of attributes of two candidate persons. Likelihood of a successful relationship between two candidate persons is predicted by comparing the calculated quality of the candidate relationship against a threshold. The prediction in this learning task may be made by a neural network. A user is notified of a candidate match that is likely to become a successful relationship.

  • Patent number: 12124795
    Abstract: The present patent application describes techniques for generating an enhanced electronic document that may include one or more graphical user interface (GUI) elements that comprise an interactive workflow. An electronic document is automatically processed to identify patterns within the content of the document that indicate individual content items, such as individual steps or instructions associated with a task described in the document, or individual input fields at which information is to be recorded. For each individual content item identified, a data object (e.g., a JSON object) is added to a file, which is ultimately embedded within the original document to create an enhanced electronic document.

  • Patent number: 12050861
    Abstract: Methods and systems for improved and efficient template reconciliation are disclosed. By comparing the original template with the proposed modified template, the template management system can determine the minimally necessary modifications in a relational database to implement all changes and automatically generate scripts to update the template in a short amount of time. The present subject can improve computer and network efficiency by eliminating constant and in-between modifications of the template. It also saves computing resources by avoiding the complete deletion and replacement of a template in the relational database.

  • Patent number: 12019848
    Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept include a multi-platform omni-channel content creation and distribution system. The system includes a multi-platform media content data and logic structure, a user interface logic section configured to interface with a user and the multi-platform media content data and logic structure, and a multi-sectional view configured to be shown on a display. The multi-sectional view includes a metadata section in a first section thereof and a simulated true-to-life preview section in a second section thereof. The user interface logic section receives metadata information from the user. The metadata section displays the metadata information. The multi-platform media content data and logic structure causes the simulated true-to-life preview section to show a piece of content with exact proportional dimensions and appearance as it would appear under actual non-simulated real-world circumstances for a particular media platform and associated physical device.

  • Patent number: 11983947
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating document content using data analysis. For example, a system may store data representing one or more documents, where a document is associated with a type of user and fields. The system may send the data representing the document to an electronic device. Additionally, the system may receive, from the electronic device, data representing information input into the document. Using the information, the system may select various fields for the document and send, to the electronic device, data representing the fields. Furthermore, the system may analyze the information to determine a score associated with the document. If the score does not satisfy a threshold score, the system may continue to select fields using the information and send, to the electronic device, data representing the fields. However, if the score satisfies the threshold score, the system may determine that the document is complete.
