Patent number: 11880408Abstract: Embodiments are directed to techniques for interacting with a hierarchical video segmentation by performing a metadata search. Generally, various types of metadata can be extracted from a video, such as a transcript of audio, keywords from the transcript, content or action tags visually extracted from video frames, and log event tags extracted from an associated temporal log. The extracted metadata is segmented into metadata segments and associated with corresponding video segments defined by a hierarchical video segmentation. As such, a metadata search can be performed to identify matching metadata segments and corresponding matching video segments defined by a particular level of the hierarchical segmentation. Matching metadata segments are emphasized in a composite list of the extracted metadata, and matching video segments are emphasized on the video timeline. Navigating to a different level of the hierarchy transforms the search results into corresponding coarser or finer segments defined by the level.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2020Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Seth Walker, Joy Oakyung Kim, Morgan Nicole Evans, Najika Skyler Halsema Yoo, Aseem Agarwala, Joel R.

Patent number: 11783001Abstract: A system for classifying tasks based on workflow patterns detected on workflows through a real time video feed that shows steps being performed to accomplish a plurality of tasks. Each task is associated with a different set of steps. The system accesses a first set of steps known to be performed to accomplish a first task on the webpages. The first set of steps is represented by a first set of metadata. The system extracts a second set of metadata from the video feed. The second set of metadata represents a second set of steps to perform a second task. The system determines whether the second set of metadata corresponds to the first set of metadata. If it is determined that the second set of metadata corresponds to the first set of metadata, the system classifies the second task in a class to which the first task belongs.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Siva Kumar Paini, Sakshi Bakshi, Srinivasa Jitendra Dhanwada, Sudhakar Balu
