  • Patent number: 12361205
    Abstract: Technologies for simplifying visual organization of form information include a form simplification server. A virtual transaction form including editable input fields visually organized in an initial format is displayed. In response to a request for a simplified version of the virtual transaction form, the form simplification server generates a simplified virtual transaction form including editable input fields that correspond to the editable input fields of the virtual transaction form. The editable fields of the simplified virtual transaction form are visually organized in a format different from the initial format of the virtual transaction form. The simplified virtual transaction form is displayed. The form simplification server may also receive a user-specified data element input into one of the editable input fields of the virtual transaction form. The corresponding editable input field of the simplified virtual transaction form can be populated with the user-specified data element.

  • Patent number: 12265783
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a multi-modal search-and-summarize tool for message platforms. Specifically, the multi-modal search-and-summarize tool may monitor conversational content of different formats, e.g., text, image, video, etc., and use multi-modal summarization models to generate a summary of the conversation channel. The summarization may be conducted via a search-and-summarize process in response to a specific user query, e.g., a user may enter “what did John and Josh say about the presentation tomorrow?” The multi-modal summarization model would first search for relevant conversation messages between user John and user Josh, identify communication files of different format (e.g., text messages, emojis, multimedia attachments, etc.), and then input the communication files to respective text or image encoders to generate a summary of the communication content.

  • Patent number: 12260399
    Abstract: An avatar carrier generating system for metaverse and method thereof are disclosed. Before a living body enters a metaverse, a sensing element senses the living body to generate a physiological feature, and after a real-name identity message is received, the real-name identity message and the physiological feature are converted into metadata compliant with a non-fungible token standard; the non-fungible token, which is owned by the living body, is generated on the blockchain based on the metadata. When the living body enters the metaverse, an avatar carrier for entering the metaverse is generated based on the metadata of the non-fungible token, and when the avatar carrier receives an identification request, the avatar carrier is permitted to provide at least one of the physiological feature and the real-name identity message, so as to achieve the effect of improving identifiability and authentication of the avatar carrier of the metaverse.

  • Patent number: 12159150
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for receiving, at a computing system, an expression in a formula language to generate a user interface to be displayed, where the expression includes data to be retrieved. The computing system may determine whether a first portion of the data for the expression has been retrieved from at least one data source when the user interface is to be generated based on a signal received by the computing system from the at least one data source. When the first portion of the data is available, the user interface may be output. When the signal is received by the computing system that the first portion of the data for the expression is not available, the computing system outputs the user interface without the first portion of the data and revises the user interface to include the first portion of the data when the first portion of data becomes available.

  • Patent number: 12147881
    Abstract: Target-based schema identification and semantic mapping for robotic process automation (RPA) are disclosed. When looking at a source, such as a document, a web form, a user interface of a software application, a data file, etc., it is often difficult for software to determine which fields are labels and which are values associated with those labels. Since values have not yet been entered for various labels (e.g., first name, company, customer number, etc.), these labels are easier to detect than when the target also includes various values associated with the labels. A selection of an empty target may be received and target-based schema identification may be performed on the empty target, determining labels and a type of the target. Semantic matching may then be performed between a source and the target. These features may be performed at design time or runtime.

  • Patent number: 12147756
    Abstract: The draft document generating method repeats question processing for component elements selected from the case database to the user. The question processing presents, by an output device, one or more of the component elements selected from the case database to the user, presents a question as to whether the component elements are applicable to contents of a draft document to the user, acquires, via an input device, an answer of the user to the question; and adds the answer in an answer history. The selecting of the one or more component elements for which the question processing is to be executed next from unprocessed component elements in the plurality of cases is based on statistics of part of the component elements in the plurality of cases. The draft document is generated based on a component element indicating that the answer history is applicable to contents of the draft document.
